THE COFFEE SIDE
Don’t settle for bitter coffee. Come taste coffee that’s done right!
Our house blend for espresso and drip are provided by Onyx Coffee Lab located in Rogers, Arkansas. The mantra at Onyx Coffee Lab is to “Never Settle for Good Enough.” This philosophy permeates throughout everything they do there. They travel to different countries, continents and elevations to fine the absolute best coffee.
Onyx Coffee Lab is one of the few roasters that give complete transparency to their coffee selection. This is rare in the coffee industry and is a key factor in becoming our go-to roaster. As with any top tier roaster, the fundamentals of “farm to cup” is meticulously controlled right from the beginning. Each coffee they have is accompanied by its pricing and trade data, meaning you can see what they paid for it, what it scored at, who they bought it from, and other details. This is all available on their website.
So much work and effort has gone into getting the coffee bean. It is important to continue that effort to ensure that the coffee is roasted and then brewed at the highest level. Here at The Yellow Cup, we take the same care and precision to complete the “farm to cup.”
In addition to our house blends, we also reserve a spot to feature a guest roaster. This enables you to try and taste the various beans and roast profiles from around the world. Right now, we are featuring Memli Coffee Lab from Houston, TX. They are also a roaster that have full transparency. Here is a list of our current coffee offerings to tantalize your taste buds:
- Onyx Coffee Lab – Monarch (house espresso blend)
- Onyx Coffee Lab – Southern Weather (drip blend)
- Memli – Latest Selection (single origin pour over)
All house blends from Onyx Coffee Lab and beans from our current guest roaster are available for sale in our retail section. If you like was you’ve had at our store, you can bring one home too.

Bellocq’s carefully selected, single-origin offerings originate from the finest estates in China, Japan, India, Nepal, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Malawi and are exclusively full leaf, almost entirely organic, and sourced from high elevation gardens. Their selections are the result of rigorous sourcing and lengthy tastings.

Bellocq has expanded its original line of tea blends to include over 50 varieties of pure teas, an assortment of herbal selections, and a growing number of in-house blends.
Tea has always been about ritual and the sense of well-being that accompanies it, and this luxury is what Bellocq strives to provide. At The Yellow Cup Coffee and Tea, we finish this process by brewing the teas with controlled water temperatures along with proper brewing times to insure the best experience the tea, and the farmers behind the tea, wanted you to taste.
