Rude Awakening Coffee House

We are Rude Awakening, a coffee house located in the heart of Downtown Fayetteville. Our story began in the mid-90's when Bruce and Molly Arnold stumbled upon a neglected building during a Sunday event. Molly expressed her desire to see the building restored, and Bruce encouraged her to take action. Years later, they seized the opportunity to buy the building and transform it into a thriving coffee house. Since our opening in 1999, we've been dedicated to producing high-quality coffee, providing good jobs, and being an integral part of our community.
