New owners Dan and Sarah Ogden are on a mission to bring the iconic Campus Coffee Bean back to its roots as a community creative hub.
For three decades, Campus Coffee Bean has been a part of Flagstaff’s art and coffee culture, playing host to students studying at all hours, live music, casual meetups, creative conversations and those simply looking for a place to relax. Now under new ownership, Sarah and Dan Ogden are working to bring the cafe back to its roots.
The Ogdens are no strangers to running a local business. From 2009-2022, they owned and operated Ogden’s Cleaners. Closing the doors on the dry cleaning business was a difficult decision for them to make, so when the opportunity arose to purchase the cafe, they jumped at the idea.
Old friends and new faces find a place to relax as the Ogdens work to re-establish the cafe as a Flagstaff staple.
