Black Rock Coffee Bar

Sedelia Cordero

Went here for a quick coffee pick up and ordered five drinks. The vibe in the shop was awesome and the employees were super friendly and helpful. Also, the coffees came out fast and tasted really good. And the Mexican mocha is delicious!

First time here and we went through the drive thru so I was trying to ask a question and the young lady was rude I felt because she kept stating order at the window and I found it weird that the person did want to take the order at the drive thru post. So we pulled up to the window the line was a little long at the time. So getting got window we ordered. I asked for a mocha chiller with whip cream. When the gave it to me the young lady was like oh we added Carmel to the mocha is that ok! I’m like the line is long at this point I just took it even though that is not how I ordered it and didn’t want to hold the line up for it to be remade. Maybe I’ll try again another day. But definitely was happy about this. There was to thank you or anything upon leaving. Better customer needs to be made here.

I can't say enough about this place. They have delicious organic food options. I ordered 2 bean and cheese breakfast soft taco with medium salsa. It was really good, hot, and fast! ~$3.50 each and worth every penny. I tried the Mexican Coffee, hot, with whipped cream and oatmilk. The cinnamon in it makes it over the top. So delicious! A must try. ...And they have a drive-thru.

Another solid coffee shop. I wanted to give this business 5 stars. But there were a few things that detracted from a great experience being nearly flawless. I’ll begin with the positives. The dining room is well lit. There is a nice amount of natural light that comes in from the windows that nearly wrap around the entire front of the bar. To complement the suns rays there is ample lighting from a dozen or so pendant lights and a half a dozen larger suspended modern lights as well. IMO, the lighting is important in setting a mood. The mood these set is modern, minimalist, clean, and functional. When it comes to the seating, although there are several options, none of the seating comes across as something I would want to sit in for over 1 hour. I mention this for those that may want to bring a laptop and get some work or studying done while enjoying your drink. There is one corner toward the back that has two love seats, but that’s it. Everything else is bar stools, high chairs, and standard seating at 1 large center table that would be good for a group as large as 8. On a similar note for those considering bringing a laptop, I didn’t see many outlets. There are some, but it may be placed in an odd spot like at a high table where there is less surface space to work on. For the menu, I tried their “Chocolate Chip Chiller” which is a blended drink. They nailed it. The coffee flavor was there but not too overpowering. The chocolate chips could actually be tasted and really enhanced the drink beyond a regular mocha Frappé. And the whip cream did not disappoint. It was lite, sweet, and fresh. If you’ve ever had heavy, wet, and sour whip cream, then you may know how much bad whip cream can spoil a drink. So far so good right. But now I’d like to mention the aspects that took away from the experience. The music. Too loud and noticeable. I can’t imagine getting any reading done in here. Indeed. I observed that the seating was reminiscent to a bar, but I didn’t think the “bar” in this coffee shops name would hold up to it’s late night brethren. If I go for coffee I like for music to fill that empty space, not dominate the air. 2nd gripe. It may be just me, but I found it a little chilly. I could be sensitive, but I’d recommend you bring a lite jacket or some type of second layer to make sure you don’t get uncomfortable. Third and final criticism, which is the most serious and concerning. I killed two gnats while I was enjoying my drink inside. But saw at least three. There are miniature bonsai-esque plants on top of every table. Not sure if they were real, but maybe they had something to do with it. Regardless, I hope management or ownership reads this and addresses it. Aside from those things. Good experience overall. Customer service is warm and friendly. Drink was good. Atmosphere is modern and clean. And if you go, like your experience, and want to return, you’ll be happy to know they have a rewards program via a mobile app. As unusual, if you read to the end, thanks. I hope this genuine review from a Local Guide was helpful. Cheers 🙂 P.S. to management/ownership/the team in general, consider getting spoons. Some folks like to spoon the whip cream, blended drinks, hot chocolate, etc. Forks are not going to cut it.

The coffee shop was nice and clean with quick service. The coffee was good, I had a black coffee and the hot chocolate was ok. There is a limited selection of cakes and scones. We managed to get the comfy couch area to enjoy our coffee/hot chocolate.
