The staff is great, enjoy talking with them every morning and building relationships but their owner doesn’t seem to care about having proper working equipment for their staff. I come to this location five days a week, easily spend $200 a month here, and at least 2x a month the expresso machine goes out. I only get one drink from this place so if the espresso machine is out I’m not getting anything which means if I get a car behind me in line I can’t back out and just go, I’m stuck sitting in a line that I’mno getting anything. Get a new espresso machine for your staff (and customers) and I’ll happily change this to a five star review.

Coffee is awesome! The staff very laid back. My first pick for coffee. They have a easy punch system that actually pays off! Check em out and my fav drink is the caramel blondie.

The coffee and service here never disappoint. I enjoy everything from their BLONDIES to their MEXICAN MOCHA. To be fair, I havent ordered any teas because Im usually in a coffee mode. Any pastries I have had from here are also fresh and tasty.

Black Rock is my favorite coffee hut in the valley. Their Chai is THE BEST as well as their Italian Sodas! Both are seriously so good! Their beverages just taste of higher quality. The ham and cheese breakfast croissant (although I dont think they make them) is also really good so kudos to wherever you get it from. I drive out of my way to find a Black Rock.

We got iced tea with flavor. All the syrup just settled at the bottom. Had to mix, many times to enjoy the drink.

Tried to hold a meeting here, and they said they were open. At 7:45 AM, they were closed. Well the drive-through was open, but you can’t meet in the drive-through.

I was on a walk with my furbabe; it’s 49 degrees outside and I really wanted a coffee, the lobby was empty, the young male working didn’t even greet me-just refused me service because I didn’t have a mask on. I pulled my mask out of my bag and then apologized and went to order, to which he then refused me service again, because I had my dog with me on a leash. The lobby was empty and closed to dine in, it was an extremely unprofessional interaction and could have been handled a lot better. You lost my business and your employee left a bad taste in my mouth for the evening.

This is a great place to get your coffee. I have been to a bunch of different coffee places in this area over the last 5 years and this one stands out in my opinion. The coffee and drinks are as good as, and occasionally better, than you can get from any of the other coffee places locally. Lets be honest, getting good coffee from a place that specializes in good coffee shouldnt amaze anybody these days. What IS amazing however, is the staff at this location. The Baristas here are knowledgeable and always seem to lift my spirits a little bit. They are the type of friendly that you cant train into an employee. Just real, down to earth, cool people. Highly recommended!

Nice place with some great specialty drinks. Their regular coffee is very weak (they said t was a drip dark roast). They provide skin milk to add to coffee, but no half-and-half. Basically my coffee enabled me to taste the paper cup and not much else.I gave two stars because the staff was super helpful, and the others in my party enjoyed the mocha drinks they got.I wont go back though.

Good selection of Pastries. When asked girls to see what they recommend, there was no response or depends what you like. Other than that place has a good vibe, a little too small as there were many people holding little meetings, too crowded.

Cool looking place, clean and well kept with happy staff. Didnt like the coffee. I ordered an Iced Americano, the flavor had to much character for me. My fiance seemed to enjoy her ham and cheese thing and her coffee.

New favorite quick spot. My husband brings his Yeti to be filled with green tea (they have a bunch of custom flavors of tea). I order yummy Italian Sodas. Dont forget to ask for a punch card, youll be back!

Rarely a line and if there is it moves fast. Everyone is always friendly. Also I dont have to shout my order over the party music in the background, like other drive-up coffee places. Great place to meet up or sit and work, away from the home office.

Coffee was good Ill give them that... but the ambiance was not what I would recommend for anyone thats not a super athletic and hip.The flies in the establishment drove me crazy. They have a pull up wall that is rather cool, but there is no fan to keep the flies out.It was random give away day. I was there 30 minutes and we didnt get anything, which is fine, but every (literlly) person in there got something except me and this other larger person. When asked it was completely random. Then the next skinny person got a branded item and not the other fella or I... right in front of us. Almost as if they dont want us to represent the brand. I decided to stay a few and contine watching and 12 additional skinny people got stuff and not the other heavy person that came in. In fact, there was no hi... how are you... nothing. Wasnt event invited back.Ill stick to Dutch bros who helps the community and provides excellent service to everyone.

We always go on Starbucks but since we want to try a new coffee shop. We decided to give a try the Black Rock Coffee Bar. I like the ham and cheese croissant. It’s a clean place and cozy to have drink. I want to give 5star but I’m not satisfied with my Salted Caramel Frappuccino. It’s very plain and I did’t see any salt and caramel syrup garnished on top like in Starbucks. I just don’t know if that’s how they made their Salted Caramel Frap.

Extremely slow!! Waited in drive thru for over 20 minutes and there were only 4 cars. Get to the window and they’re rushing around trying to figure out which order is most pressing. Super disorganized and asked me to repeat my order 3 different times. After all of that they still got all 3 of my drinks wrong. I don’t usually write reviews but this has happened virtually every time I’ve been, which is a lot! Don’t waste your time.
