We like textures-wood, tile, concrete-so we tried to keep things minimal but then have the walls and floors change the feel.” Owner Jon Allen says, “the Fayetteville spot is ‘Ozark Modern,’ so lots of clean straight lines mixed with a wide range of colored hardwoods. In the far corner of the building, a pastiche of various shapes and sizes of scrap wood cover the walls, contributing to the overall warmth of the interior. ![]() The matte black of the exterior continues on the long southern wall, standing in contrast to the white tile from its northern counterpart behind the coffee bar. Inside, the shop is modern but not rigid, inviting but not rustic. Approaching from the south or east, the ebony building looks to be a stand-alone structure it isn’t until pulling around to the westward-facing entrance that it’s clear Onyx is part of a larger complex. Set in the corner spot in a retail strip overlooking a lumber yard, the exterior of Onyx is matte black, contrasting the off-white of the rest of the storefronts, giving a distinct sense of otherness.

But to those of us in the south, it’s no surprise. Onyx has been building a reputation as one of coffee’s more forward-thinking southern shops/roasters for some time now. Building this impressive of a resume over such a short period of time is certainly going to turn some heads, especially when the shop doing it is borne of the non-metropolitan south, a region not typically thought to be the home of progressive coffee scenes. Last week, Onyx sent two representatives to Long Beach for the United States Coffee Championships-co-owner Andrea Allen competed in the Barista Championship thanks to her second place finish in the South Central Regional, and Dylan Siemens competed in the Latte Art Championship. ![]() In January, the company was named one of the winners of the Good Food Awards, the state’s first.
