In the cafe customers have the opportunity to watch and talk to baristas constructing their drinks, while seeing active roasting and cupping quality control. We created the quietest roastery that we could. We have a special loader in the basement that mitigates sound and dust for green coffee, which is often the loudest and messiest part of roasting. Extra vents were dropped over motors to send the sound outside. Custom sound drums wrap the loud portions of the roaster to mute the sound. The wood-grill that wraps the coffee bar functions as a design element, but also as a sound reducer. In 2022 we won the US Roasters Competition and the US Brewer's Cup Competition, going on to place 2nd in both categories in the World Coffee Championships.

Restraints of the project were maintaining the historic status of the building while effectively allocating space, while understanding how people will experience the building in a new context (think smoke and sound for the roastery). Rogers, AR 3.6 Started in 2012 by Jon and Andrea Allen, Onyx Coffee Lab strives to find the best possible coffees and roast them to their full potential. The goal was to maintain seamless functionality of the facility, where we maintain green storage and training in the basement run a full production roastery, coffee bar and bakery on the main floor and house a quality control and cupping lab on the mezzanine level. Specially designed single-diode LED pendants drop from the ceiling to provide lighting for the space and create a star-like effect at night. Original timbers were salvaged and used in the mezzanine level floor. Over three-and-a-half years ago we signed onto a historic building constructed in 1907 with old timber, wide open space with no defining walls, in order to join all aspects of the coffee industry into one building: coffee roasting production, training, service of the final cup, and pastries - to cultivate appreciation both in and outside of the industry for all the hands involved. We maintain a “never settle for good enough” mentality, and so this search took a long time.
