Onyx Coffee Lab

It’s been a dream to come to an official Oynx cafe and it was wonderful! The layout was open and welcoming. Love their seasonal fall menu- I decided to have the black sesame maple espresso and the vegan egg focaccia. I enjoyed the chill temperature of the drink. It was smooth and flavorful. The focaccia was nice and warm- so filling and delicious. I’ll definitely be back to try more and get some souvenirs. Cheers!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Onyx Coffee Lab in Bentonville is outstanding! The service was fantastic—Sarah was especially awesome, making the experience feel warm and personal. I ordered a Cortado, and it was incredibly smooth and velvety, served with a classy sidecar of sparkling water that elevated the whole presentation. This is easily one of the better coffee shops I’ve visited. They also have an excellent selection of drinks and plenty of high-quality beans to take home. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!

I tried the Onyx Delight and really enjoyed the taste — smooth and flavorful. The swirl art on the coffee was nice, though I’d appreciate a bit more creativity or detail in the latte art. The atmosphere was cozy and stylish — definitely a great spot to hang out or catch up with friends. Overall, a good experience and worth visiting again!

Great atmosphere, either you want to work or chill while having your coffe this is a nice place to visit. I regularly take the onyx golden milk latte and have been trying different croissants. My favorite one so far is the orange croissant with a creamy filling, not too sweet and great texture. The avotoast wasn’t my favorite, it was ok. I expected a tastier avocado.

Urban style coffee shop (and city prices) in a small town. Staff was nice and the vibe was cool, clean. The cappuccino was very good, but I would pass on the $12 Japanese avocado toast if I went again. The bread was over toasted and really hard to bite through. The avocado was pre-mashed and extruded, it wasn’t so fresh.

Fantastic Coffee shop. Great Coffee, tasty croissants (savory and sweet), great patio to peeps watch. Don't be intimidated by the line, this crew is quick, efficient, and quality producing. The short wait is well worth the time. Shut your dirty pirate mouth and just go!

Super cute coffee shop with lots of seating options and a plethora of unique food and drink items. We got the chai latte and blueberry jasmine matcha iced latte. Both drinks were delightful and the almond croissant was decadent. The line at around 10 am on a Saturday was definitely long and there was a bit of a wait. However, it moved quickly and we had our drinks in 15-20 minutes.

This is the best coffee place in town. No second thoughts. Me and my fam have gone here plenty of times. There was never once disappointing. I loved all their coffees. I would love to explore so I tried almost 85% in the menu by then. Let me brief a bit. The seasonal ones - the top section keeps changing in the menu- my fav was when the berry mix shake came in it. ( May-June). Onyx delight - consistent and classic taste if you don’t want to think much then this Onyx matcha latte - best subtle matcha, the oatmilk has good blend with it ( I have tried only hot) pick when you don’t want caffeine but hot Hail fellow well met - i personally liked it first time I tried then I didn’t like later maybe the ratio is not consistent Salt mocha - different unique salt taste if you like to try something different Nitro cold brew - was best best if you like black coffee!!! Affogato - amazing quality and taste of chocolate. Rest all I had once only so all were good! You can try any of your fav and won’t get disappointed Food - I haven’t took any there sorry Environment is amazing, need more space to talk then visit Roger’s Nancy!

Man oh man! What a lovely coffee shop in Bentonville, AR! I greatly enjoyed an Onyx Delight- one of their signature popular drinks. There is also food available. It all looked delicious but I did not buy anything. The employees were super nice! The decor is beautiful. Lounges on the inside for individuals or groups. Small amount of seating outside. I understand Onyx coffee is world-renowned. Something like #2 in the world! If ever in Bentonville, check them out!

first timers here! my husband and i genuinely enjoyed the coffee here and can agree it's one of the best we've had in NWA. the hail fellow well met latte was very yummy. the browned butter flavor is strong and we thought it was the perfect sweetness. the blueberry basil matcha was also very good, creamy and a good balance of all the flavors! inside the building was very clean, and thankfully wasn't too busy when we stopped by. the staff were quick with our orders but weren't super welcoming :( overall would recommend this place if you're looking for good quality coffee and a cute place to wind down!

Stunning store front masks sub-par coffee. The coffee lack-luster to put it mildly. The espresso doesn't have enough flavor to stand up to the milk. The baristas are fine, not exceptional. I keep coming back and trying it year after year, because the location is beyond gorgeous. Sadly, I am continually disappointed. It you truly love espresso, this place is not for you.

The space was nice, almost overly nice, felt kind of sterile in the space though and I left because the energy was off...The coffee tastes funky and leaves a strange aftertaste in my mouth, almost like the coffee is stale or something. It almost tastes like they roast it with hops, which gave the coffee a nasty taste in general. I was going to purchase 2 lbs of Espresso beans, but once I saw that the price was ~$59+tax I put it back. After tasting the espresso latte I purchased, I'm glad I did too..... I can purchase LaVazza Gold Espresso beans for $35 for 2.2 lbs and it tastes much better in my opinion. No strange, stale aftertaste like the Onyx espresso beans The service was pretty good as the cashier was nice, but they forgot to put a stopper in the top of my coffee drink and the drink is cold now. Also, they didn't let me sweeten or add things (cinnamon, cocoa, cayenne, etc.) to the drink myself. They also don't have soy milk. This resulted in a drink that was entirely too sweet and not made the way I would have made it myself. Also, the cups have plastic lids and are lined with plastic. Yumm, micro-plastics....just what I want in my coffee!! This place was just a let-down in general. By comparison, I purchased my first breville espresso machine for $699 new (you can get them used for $200-$300), and it makes a better drink the way I prefer. If I paid $5+ tip for every drink I bought at Onyx, let's say $6.50, then first (new) espresso machine + 10 lbs of Lavazza is paid for after 134 days ...If I purchased our 600 coffee drinks/year for my girlfriend and myself at Onyx, that would cost ~$3900!!! Do the math. Do yourself a favor, purchase the nice Breville Oracle espresso machine with the dual boiler ($1500 when I bought it on Black Friday last year), change out the plastic shower plate with a metal one and buy 10 lbs of Lavazza Gold Selection beans and make your own coffee concoction.... and never come back to Onyx again. Photos for reference of what I would recommend for flavorful beans and a reasonable espresso machine that will pay for itself after less than a year of not drinking coffee at Onyx.

Was visiting the area from CA on vacation and was ASTONISHED at the architecture and design of this building place! It seriously deserves to be in architectural digest. Overall I liked the selection of coffees and pastries but unfortunately did find the espresso a little weak....I got a flat white and even then it had a milky taste - not the strongest pull. Service was professional, there was a long line (15 min?) wrapping all around the bar but it gave me time to admire all the little interior design wonders. As a certified coffee snob this was a haven from big chain drive drive throughs and in such a cute little area of town!

This place was super busy and all that seemed justified. Everything on the menu looked and sounded really good. I saw other people with breakfast sandwiches that looked amazing, but I didn't see those until after I ordered. I can only speak to the coffee. Since it was still kind of warm outside I asked for an iced black coffee. The guy taking my order recommended a nitro iced black coffee, so I went with that. It was a great rec because I really enjoyed that coffee. We sat outside in front. It was a great spot to enjoy the early fall weather. I definitely plan to come back on my next visit to Bentonville.

I visited Onyx in downtown on a Saturday during the farmers market. It was very busy. The service was fast and the baristas were very kind. I ordered the Onyx Delight iced. It was sweet but I could still taste the espresso shine through. Pro tip: request that they use Monarch espresso instead of their normal Geometry espresso for any latte!

Very cute coffee shop! Had one the best lattes I've had in a while Chocolate Cream Croissant (3.5/5) - ehh Hail Fellow Well Met Latte (4.5/5) - if you're into a brown butter flavor this is the one! It was very creamy from the oat milk :) and a little too sweet for my liking but it was probably because I got it with light ice.

The best coffee. Get the well met. Great female ownership. Love the vibe here. Family friendly and nice location to hang out or grab a quick bite.

This place is awesome. I had the Old Fello Salt Coffee and was so deliciousI had two. Great choice for morning or afternoon brunch.

Came here on a Thurs morning to fuel up for a day of mountain biking. their avocado toast was delicious as were their chocolate croissants. the house coffee was great too. i really enjoyed sitting outside and seeing all the people on a Thursday enjoying this coffee shop. we had a great experience from ordering to getting our food. highly recommend.

I have been to Onyx a few times now and have always enjoyed what I've drank there. Their coffee is obviously very good but I am always more impressed by the speciality drinks. The Yuzu Match Cream drink I had last was absolutely amazing. I do think the drinks are on the sweet side but I expect that. Overall the drinks are very good but they are pretty expensive. Furthermore, the place has a lot of space for sitting around but because of how busy it is, I wouldn't really recommend it for co-working.

Great coffee and experience. Love the menu choices for both food and coffee. The Well Met is still my go-to

We came for coffee bright and early on Friday morning around 7am. There was no line but there were already several people and groups posted up in the seating area. I had the Costa Rican single origin pour over coffee and my husband got the terroir hat trick. Service was friendly and our order came out quickly. We didn't get any food but they had a decent selection of pastries and sweets available. Good coffee, good vibes.

Service was outstanding. Everyone was super helpful! Coffee selection was a decent spread, but food options are pretty limited. It's not really brunch but they do have pastries. Very vibey- if I was in college I would definitely spend a decent amount of time hanging out here. I will be back!

Onyx is a different experience so don't go in expecting Starbucks. I chose a seasonal blueberry and jasmine iced latte and I've never had anything like it. It was delicious! Friendly staff and modern atmosphere. Service was excellent!

A super trendy coffee shop with long lines. We went on a Saturday and it was packed! There were a lot of options on the menu that I was really drawn to, and in the end I opted to get the Hail Fellow Well Met, because it had browned butter as an ingredient and I had never seen that in a latte before. It ended up being one of the best lattes I've ever had, with such a unique flavor. Their seasonal flavors sounded inventive and delicious as well. I wish I had Onyx Coffee Lab back home, because the Hail Fellow was that good. There's enough seating here that even with the large crowd, we found a place to sit pretty easily. And despite the long lines, the drinks were ready pretty shortly after ordering.

First time trying Onyx. Best friend took me here and service was great! We ordered pastries along with the food and drinks we ordered. Everything tasted so good and the blue botanical shake was the perfect blend of all their ingredients. We went out to try the coffee from the robot outside and it was pretty good! The ambiance is mixed - you have big groups meeting along with individuals that sit at their bar doing work. A little pricey but worth it!

I heard about this place before even coming to Bentonville so I made it a point to stop in while we were in town. The coffee was good and lattes were perfect. I had the onyx delight and my friend had the salt mocha. I liked both. The inside is very posh and upscale decor but it still had the cozy coffee house vibes. The staff were friendly and efficient. The line wrapped around the bar but everyone got their coffee shortly after ordering. Plenty of seating inside and outside on the sidewalk. We enjoyed watching all the dogs on the patio. I recommend stopping in to Onyx when you're in Arkansas.

Pretty sure it's the best coffee shop in town, since I've tried a few by now. Always a line, and it's for a good reason. Service is fast - they have it down to a science. They use high quality beans and machines to produce exceptional lattes. They also have unique ones that taste delicious. It has an upscale and hip ambience. You definitely feel like you're 'at the spot.'

It's more like 3.5 stars, the coffee is what it is. My biggest complaint BY FAR is the amount of people who don't have their order locked in by the time they get to the front of the long ass line. Like bruh, do you live on earth? If you don't have a remote clue what you're ordering look at a menu BEFORE you get there. and then, the people that have a million questions... ITS A COFFEE SHOP what are you ordering that you need a breakdown? Great seating, AMAZING seating outside.

Onyx has incredible coffee, content, and great merch. Tons of variety that is seasonal and ever changing. The negative though is in their customer service, consistently consumed their coffee and will continue to follow and support their content but won't be making future purchases. I had spent nearly $200 on products that were lost in the mail. When i reached out, one of the items was no longer in stock. Talking with their customer service was a major pain point. First the communication was very inconsistent. Then they asked if i would like a $10 discount which didn't even cover the tax on my order and they were very specific that it was a one time only offer only as if i was trying to rip them off or something. Alternatively, they said they could issue a full refund. I replied that i would take a full refund and they responded that they had already went ahead and re-shipped the item with the $10 discount but not to worry, i could return it all. Again, putting the hassle on me rather than reading my response. Great products but piss poor customer service, they simply don't care about their customers, all they care about is making their sales and collecting their profits. Highly disappointed.

Went here this past weekend after seeing a review that said that this was the BEST coffee experience that the reviewer had ever had. We put the address into the GPS and we were on our way. The inside looks really cool and expensive. There's a neat neon sign. There are cool modern tables, a pretty, penny tiled bar and various types of seating for getting work done or chatting. There is also additional outdoor seating. I was part of a party of four and after looking over the menu, two of them declined to order anything. We purchased two drinks to go, one hot, one iced. My husband got a flat white. He's had flat whites everywhere, including New Zealand so he knows what they taste like. He said his drink was tasteless. Perhaps it was a watery shot? Prior to ordering I told the cashier that I have celiac and was wondering if they knew if their salt mocha was gluten-free. The cashier asked someone pulling shots, and then said, "ahh I'm pretty sure it is." It was already after 3 PM and all I'd had the entire day was a cookie and a scone from down the street. I shouldn't have trusted it, but I went ahead with my order. What came out was a drink that tasted like chocolate milk. I was about a third of the way through it when my stomach started to hurt, so I told my non-celiac family member to finish the drink. They also said it tasted like chocolate milk. Did it contain gluten? Not sure. Possible cross-contamination issues perhaps? Be warned, while it is disclosed on the lower corner of the menu, they have one of those junk fees tacked on for employee benefits. Labor costs are the cost of doing business and should be calculated into the menu price (which is exactly why Sacramento, California is outlawing these junk fees.) "Businesses use hidden fees or junk fees to pitch an artificially low headline price to attract a customer before revealing additional charges," - Eleanor Blume, California's assistant attorney general. Don't have an artificially lower price to entice customers and then have the real cost come out at the register. Have all your labor costs, rent, ingredients, profit margins all factored into your advertised menu price and then have separate line items for each type of tax being charged. Being transparent with customers about pricing is not rocket science. Would I agree with the poster that this was the best coffee experience I've ever had? No. Was it offensively bad where it warrants a 1 star? No. Visited April 2024

Took a little detour to swing by Onyx on a recent road trip and had some great drinks! We were a little nervous with how crowded it was, but the staff was great and the line moved fast enough that it wasn't an issue. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

Overall good coffee. Long lines so not worth coming if you have to head into work right after. Once you order you receive your coffee pretty quick. The tops of the coffee cups are weird, hard to drink the coffee with it.

This place has an amazing menu and the staff is awesome! Their seasonal menu was exactly what I needed! I ordered one of their seasonal lattes and was so happy with my choice! The flavor was spot on! Then I got the avocado toast and that was good too! I also really liked that they had private rooms that we could book to bring in a team to work together. The room was large and was really clean! Great space and good menu!

6/14/23 ONYX COFFEEE LAB - Where have you been all my life for trips to Bentonville?!? A coworker recommended Onyx as a great stop for coffee and he did not lie! I ordered the FOMO and could have had 2 more! It was a tad high at $6.50 cup but yummm. Almond croissants are $5.75/each and the lemon poppyseed hibiscus muffin was $4.25. I had 1/3 of the muffin and didn't care for the rest. Served warm, but taste was just not for me. Coworker enjoyed the almond croissant very much - he had 2! Coworker had a cappuccino - $4 and it came with a side of sparkling water. It's a unique and vibing coffee lab place to check out. Staff was friendly. Decor is very modern. I can't recall the last time grabbing coffee was $40 (after tip) but I'd definitely come back!

We walked from our hotel to get breakfast and coffee and are so glad we did. It was busy when we arrived, but the line moved fast and the service was friendly and helpful. The avocado toast was tasty and the bread nicely crunchy and not soggy. My husband had the sticky bun which was flavorful but not exactly sticky. It had a dry texture with moderate sweetness. We both had the house coffee, and I always love it when they use glass mugs for "here" orders. Good vibe and great coffee.

Great coffee, good vibes. Gets really crowded on event weekends. Like can wrap around and take 30+ minutes to order. Lattes are yummy and not too sweet.

If you can get over the line, everything is worth the wait. Pastries, coffee, matcha. Couldn't ask for better food. And the design

Great atmosphere, great food and great coffee. A perfect hang out area. Nice service.

i ain't even gonna lie i didn't eat or drink here but i was sitting outside in their outdoor seating area and cockroaches surrounded me. coffee is good though usually

I was recommended Onyx from a friend and it is LITERALLY my favorite coffee place I've ever been to! Their coffee is so smooth and it's the perfect taste for me. Ambiance was great and service fast. I went and studied for a few hours and was surprised at the amount of people visiting for a Tuesday at 10 am. Staff were professional and seemed like they genuinely enjoyed their jobs! I'm from Kansas City and was THRILLED to learn that Vested Coffee in KC serves Onyx Coffee!!

A little sweet taste of heaven! I love their unique menu for drinks. So much that I would love to try each of it but since we only have a little time here in Bentonville I tried their matcha latte. It was perfect for a cold rainy day. We were strolling around downtown and it kept me warm and really just happy. It was creamy, smooth, sweet and the matcha tea tasted like I never ever tasted before. It was soo good that I got angry at my husband that he didn't order me a large but a small cup! The interior is very modern, clean with many seating option for people to work with their laptop or just to hang out for a quick coffee with friends. It's bright and they also have very cute outdoor seatings. I wish they would have this exact coffee place somewhere in Dallas Texas. This is just pure joy for your eyes from interior to drinks and your tastebuds. Absolutely stunning! 5 stars! Bentonville I'm jealous that you have this amazing coffee shop!

Best coffee in the country!!! You will not be disappointed by anything here. I really appreciate that on their bags of coffee, they highlight the growers of the coffee. They also have cards inside of the box that show you ways to prepare the coffee

Definitely worth the trip to this coffee shop. There may be a long line but staff are super efficient and quick. The environment is very welcoming and there's lots of open seating. Their coffee is super smooth and delicious. Check out their merch when you're here.

Vibe was cool and service was really good. All the food was really good too! My favorite thing was the onigiri. We got a bacon and egg, but they also have lunch options with other meats in them. It was just a really unique thing for a coffee shop to have. Coffee good and they have a lot of options for non coffee drinkers too.

This is a beautiful space, they serve fantastic coffee, however their ventilation system when they are cooking breakfast needs some help. The whole place smells like paninis. Not such a bad thing until you leave and your clothes, hair, etc all smell like food all day. The service is always good, employees are friendly. I would always recommend someone to go here. Great place to chill, work, visit with a friend, whatever; just be warned that it gets VERY busy. Like line wrapped around the bar, lucky to find a seat busy.

I've ordered coffee online from Onyx for a few weeks now. I've greatly enjoyed the coffee every day. The presentation, including the tasting card, is incredible and makes the experience different from other roasters. The fresh coffee tastes exquisite and even beats out roasters in my area. Even when there's a problem with the order, they jump on it quickly and make sure I've felt taken care of. I definitely recommend Onyx.

Overall score 4.7 out of 5 I've been here a few times now the coffee and Matcha is very good. Usually Matcha is very hard to get right, so I was very pleased. This place was able to do it. Even the breakfast sandwich was pretty great. Staff and location is great. I would go again

I was so pleased to learn that the Onyx coffee I have been enjoying in LA for years originates here in Arkansas. The variety of drinks is great, and this place checks all the oaky boxes for a work-friendly but creative ambience. I also appreciate how clean it is--this whole town is pretty clean. I only dock a star because there are some pretty serious air vents above a lot of the seating, it gets very cold. There are also standing tables that lack seating. This could be a good thing for them, as it keeps people moving, but as I tend to rate coffeeshops based on how hospitable they are for long, writerly sits, it's a con for me personally.

Overall experience was truly "meh." Onyx Coffee Lab is such a beloved spot in Bentonville, but I just wasn't impressed. I visited Onyx on a Sunday afternoon with two friends. It was not my first time visiting the coffee shop, and I will say, I've had better experiences there but nothing out-of-this-world. In the past, the Onyx has been very busy, with a line wrapping around much of the center coffee bar. Fortunately upon my most recent visit, we didn't have to wait in line at all. I'm assuming this is because my former visits were during the summer and fall and my most recent visit was during the dead of winter. I ordered an iced chai latte and a chocolate tart. Both are forgettable and were pricey for the quality. As a chai latte fan, I enjoyed the spice level of the drink but it just tasted watered down to me. My cup was also full of so much ice. I felt like I didn't have that much to drink. The tart was fine. Nothing I will remember or talk about (unless it's telling people to not waste $3.50 on a chocolate tart that is about 1-inch in diameter). My total was about $10. The staff were very pleasant (and have been in the past). They genuinely seem to care about the customers, no matter how busy they are. I enjoy and appreciate that! The atmosphere of Onyx is very cool and I understand why so many people enjoy it as a spot to hangout. But if you're just looking to swing in a coffee shop (especially if you're not a coffee drinker like me) than I'd suggest going elsewhere.

Delicious local coffee with a variety of options. I got one of their seasonal drinks and my husband got a drip. The shop has a lot of seating. Customer service was friendly. Definitely recommend to visit for your next cup of coffee.

Great coffee and experience. Really cool vibe with plenty of seating and good amount of options on the menu. Looking forward to stopping here when I'm in the area.

Pros: Unique coffee options and a decent food selection. Willingness to accommodate dietary restrictions/preferences. The baristas are a well oiled machine and work incredibly fast. Cons: Right off the bat this was one of the most crowded coffee shops I've been to. There were not any prices clearly listed for the items sold up front.

We love Onyx in bentonville and Roger's when we are in town. In Bentonville this time- Saturday morning there was a farmers market downtown so the road in front was closed and booths set up for vendors. Inside the line was long but moved fairly fast. We snagged some outside seating in the shade - great people and dog watching! Really loved the ham and cheese croissant, breakfast sandwich, banana bread we shared. I am a huge fan of the iced Hail Fellow Well Met- kids loved the smoothie! Great vibe, clean bathrooms, enjoyed our visit and for sure will be back!

Ask a local where to get great coffee, and seemingly every single person will go out of their way to mention Onyx. To me, it lived up to the hype! We got the full Onyx experience: coffee + breakfast + sun drenched patio all while on vacation. Hard to beat that. The "Tropical" pour over I got was flavorful, although VERY light in flavor, almost like tea. You know what? I'm here for it. I probably would've chosen an Ethiopian if I got another one, but it was still a potent, tasty jolt to get going. The breakfast sandwich came out and at first I was like, "aw man." It looked a little small, and the croissant looked too dark. One bite in and I remembered looks can be deceiving; this was a ridiculously good breakfast sandwich. Pickled veggies, eggs, bacon and some kind of aioli like sauce all came together wonderfully. The atmosphere is good too; very trendy and I mean that in a good way. Lots of natural light, and beautiful black and white mini tiled counters in the middle. It's a huge space, especially when you count the outdoor patio where we enjoyed watching all the mountain bikers and business folks hustling and bustling in and out. One regret? Not taking some beans home as that's a staple of vacations for me, but I must just be a little rusty after a little time off of traveling. Overall we were impressed by the caffeine scene in Bentonville, and like the locals said, this was the top spot.

A cutesy hipster spot located downtown. Dog friendly! The chai latte was a flavor bomb!

After sampling their product at Vested Coffee in Kansas City and seeing Onyx on a few 'Best of' lists, I bookmarked them and finally got to visit in person at their downtown Bentonville location last week. Since it was my birthday, I went as decadent as possible and ordered a large hot Salt Mocha for myself, a cortado for my wife and two tarts to share. It was a cool but sunny morning so we sat outside and enjoyed the sunlight and people watched. The interior was packed, loud, bright and had an awesome yet compact layout with a sleek design centering around the barista station centered in the space. Beverage - maybe the best espresso based beverage ever! Tarts - fruit and caramel goodies that paired well with the drink. People - lovely to see an entire bustling downtown full of friendly folk all looking like they are on their way to a job interview. I'm very eager to visit the other Onyx locations on return trips to NWA. Just another perfect little caffeine experience that helped me momentarily forget about turning another decade older.
