Sometimes there can be an error in processing cards online. This is likely a pending pre-authorization you see on your statement and it should disappear from your credit card transactions within a couple days.

Sometimes, our emails end up in people’s junk folders. Other times, the confirmation is sent as a text and is blocked by the phone carrier.

Why does this happen?
 When checking out using PayPal/Amazon or ShopPay they will save your phone number and the notifications are sent to you as a text message. This can be a little non-traditional and confusing with so much spam texting these days.

Once you do receive your confirmation you can check the status of your order and subscribe for email updates if this is an easier way to stay in the loop! If you have any questions about this, please feel free to please email info@onyxcoffelab.com providing us with the name on your order. We can then look up your order and provide you with that confirmation.

Please try checking with your neighbors and your postal delivery person. Also check around your normal delivery place to see if it’s been put somewhere different. Sometimes carriers will mark packages as being delivered but not actually deliver them until the next day.

Unfortunately, we do not have any additional information than what you have received. Once we hand off the package to USPS, it’s in their hands to ensure delivery.

All that being said, if you are unable to track down your package, please let us know by sending your name and order number to info@onyxcoffeelab.com with a description of the issue you’re experiencing. We want to make sure that you are happy with your purchase from us, and we’ll look into sending a replacement order.

At Onyx, we have two different types of gift cards. We offer both in store gift cards, which you can purchase HERE, and online store gift cards HERE. The gift cards that are purchased through our Cafes can only be used in the Cafe. They run independently of our online store. Please email us at info@onyxcoffeelab.com with your name and a description of the issue you’re experiencing and we can swap out your cafe gift card for an online gift card!

All of our coffee for the cafes and for online orders are roasted to order, and we roast and ship our coffees Monday through Friday. At most, they are shipped out or delivered to our cafes within 24hrs of being roasted.

Curious about how to brew your coffee or use that new brew method? You can visit each coffee’s product page for videos of how we brewed that specific coffee on filter and espresso. These videos are found on underneath the Story section of each coffee page.

The Traditional to Modern Scale on our bags refers to the expected flavors in coffee. If the scale is marked more towards Traditional, you can expect flavors like nuts, dry wine, bakers chocolate, etc. With coffees marked more towards Modern, you can expect flavors like citrus, floral, fruit, etc. Typically, but not always, the more modern the coffee, the lighter we usually roast it.

The short answer is yes and no. Essentially, we meet Fair Trade requirements but we don’t have the actual certifications.
 We tend to pay 3-4x more than the Fair Trade for our coffees, meaning we go above and beyond what Fair Trade pricing is.

Once one of our bags of coffee is opened, it is good for about 30 days. Our 10 oz boxes are created to be tight and act as coffee containers. Once you open your new coffee for the first time, just roll the bag up and place it back in the box with the lid shut. This will keep your coffee tasting good.

Once you have opened the 2lb and 5lb bags, simply folding it over and clamping it shut will keep your coffee fresh. However, for optimal freshness, we recommend an airtight container for these sizes of bags.

We find that with how we roast, lighter than most places, it doesn’t take as long for a coffee to go stale. An older coffee will usually not taste as vibrant. Oxygen is what causes coffee to degrade, so keeping your bag sealed or in an air-tight container will help to extend its shelf life!

We roast each of our coffees to bring out its best qualities, so all of our coffees are roasted a bit different from each other. But that also means, for us, our coffees are a medium-ish roast to a lighter roast.

There are times when, technically, you do not have an account with us. Let us explain.
Our old subscription app was supposed to require an Onyx account to be made when first signing up. But there was a glitch where if you had ever been on our site before, it didn’t prompt you. The subscription service remembered all of your info and scheduled and processed the orders, which is why you have been getting notifications. If you create an account with the same email, you will be able to see all of your past transactions. You will also be able to make changes like, skip a delivery, swap plans, and update your shipping address.

If you still have trouble logging into your account, please email info@onyxcoffeelab.com.

We process subscriptions on each Tuesday of the week. Your subscription will ship out within 24 hours of your order being processed.

The Roasters Choice subscriptions ship out a different single origin coffee with every shipment. We change the coffee for it every Monday. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer substitutions or to choose which coffee gets shipped.

Our gift subscriptions ship out every month on the day of the month that the order was placed. So, if you order on the 15th of May, they will go out on the 15th of June, the 15th of July, etc. The dates can be rescheduled if needed.
