The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans greets you the moment you step into the Onyx Coffee Lab in Rogers. Now, the whole world has taken notice of this local gem as it clinches the title of the “Best Coffee Shop in the World” from The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops list.
Onyx Coffee Lab, known for its sleek design and dedication to the craft, has brought international attention to Rogers. This recognition is not just about the coffee, although their brews are exceptional. It’s a nod to the meticulous care and innovation that founders Jon and Andrea Allen have poured into their business since launching it in 2012.
The couple’s vision transcended the traditional coffee experience. They’ve transformed Onyx into a space that blends art, science, and sustainability with every cup. Their commitment to quality is evident in every step of production — from sourcing beans directly from farmers around the world to roasting them in-house in Rogers. It’s a process that not only respects the environment but also the people behind every bean.
For the locals, Onyx Coffee Lab is more than just a spot to grab their morning cup. It’s a gathering place where conversations brew just as richly as the coffee. Located in the heart of Rogers, near the bustling energy of Pinnacle Hills, it serves as a cultural hub, reflecting the dynamic spirit of the area. Regulars and newcomers alike find a sense of community within its walls.
This accolade is a testament to the hard work and passion of the Onyx team. Each barista is not only skilled but also deeply knowledgeable about the origins and nuances of the coffee they serve. The care they take is palpable, from the precise pour of a latte to the vibrant notes of an espresso shot.
The recognition comes at a time when Rogers is experiencing its own renaissance, with new businesses and developments such as the opening of the Whole Foods Market in the Pinnacle area, enhancing the vibrancy of the community. Onyx’s win highlights the unique character of Rogers and its growing reputation as a destination in its own right.
Rogers residents can take pride in knowing that their town is home to a world-class coffee shop that’s setting the bar high internationally. As Onyx Coffee Lab continues to innovate and excel, it remains a beacon of excellence and a symbol of what’s possible with vision and hard work.
