227 Hay Street is a two-story brick building circa 1914 in Fayetteville's historic downtown. It began it’s life as Johnson’s Café and was known for most of it’s later life as Brady’s Soda Shop. In December 1999 it reopened as the home of Rude Awakening coffee house. In 1998 Bruce and Molly Arnold and their daughter, Rhonda Yocum, purchased 227 Hay St. Our goal was to renovate the then-condemned bu

ilding in accordance with the standards of the Historic Preservation Office. The storefront is original including the leaded glass panel. Upstairs houses a one bedroom apartment and downstairs is the home of the best coffee in Fayetteville. We hope to see you there.

There's free parking downtown on Memorial Day. It's a short, easy walk from the Franklin Street parking deck to coffee- down the alley, into the courtyard, watch your step down into the shop, down the hall to the counter to order.

Happy Friday
