Onyx designed this one from the ground up, its first shop built that way, and the whole plan is a 360-degree white-tiled bar: you order, then circle it, baristas shaking iced drinks and pouring latte art on every side. The people behind the counter come up through the training program that has turned out U.S. Barista Champions, so the cup holds up to the room it's served in. Off the downtown square by the farmers market, with a reservable meeting room for when you need to actually get work done and seating that runs from couches to barstools.
A Rogers roaster whose training lab sits behind three U.S. coffee titles and whose Coffee Academy sells beginner classes from the same building on a standing calendar. SprOnyx throwdown nights at the Springdale cafe draw the region's baristas to compete.
