They were always artful persons whose skills included elaborate preparation of Italian style cafe drinks in the original Onyx Cafe to Vermont. Onyx Artisans skills were also include creating authentic egg creams made with 1950's thick glass siphons. The art of "cutting the cake" was a mere jig compared to the meaningful and informed conversations which Onyx artisans crafted. Below is an excerpt from John Leech's original sketch also for the wikipedia which was edited out by him.'' ---- '''GAULT MILLAU GUIDE[6] said, “The atmosphere is….. wonderfully bohemian, with denizens who actually have meaningful… conversations…or…read a book.” An opinion apparently shared by DETAILS [7]. This included the real people behind the bar, who were famed for their intelligent and knowledgeable interaction with patrons. They were not called ‘baristas’ in those days, and in fact several of them went on to become award winning teachers[8], published authors[9], painters[10], poets[11] and musicians[12], film editors[13], and managers.'''
