Coffee Buzz

If you love Arsaga’s coffee, you might be disappointed to hear the Crossover location closed recently.

The branch, along with the Gregg Street Arsaga’s, was sold in 2009 to former longtime employee Andrea Kendrick, who rebranded the Gregg Street location as Onyx Coffee Lab and recently sold the Crossover Arsaga’s to longtime customer Ben Upchurch. The new store, Red Kite Coffee Co., sells Onyx coffee.

But hard-line Arsaga’s fans need not fret. The Fayetteville brewer is not going anywhere. There are still four locations in town, and the owners are renovating a building on Martin Luther King Boulevard, just west of the South Street intersection, to open a fifth location sometime in summer 2015.
