Black Rock Coffee

Happened to be driving through this area and spotted the coffee. The line was about 5 cars deep so I was able to pull up their Unilocal listing and read the menu while we waited-​super convenient!
I ordered an iced caramel truffle drink and it was so smooth and tasty! Not too sweet either. The two people working the shop were listening to red hot chili peppers and hooked me up with a stamp card. My kind of coffee joint!

My favorite place to get coffee!!!
I go there probably 2 – 3 times a week, I would go everyday if I could.
The people there are always so nice, I never feel rushed and its nice when they know your order because you go there enough. Lol

This little drive-​thru only has such friendly staff. I loved how well they prepared my café au lait. The milk was frothed so nicely that the drink was so smooth and finished nicely. If I could, I would probably make this drive-​thru a regular stop for me.
It’s located in a plaza on the opposite side of all the stores closer to the big street. It does have a line, but on a weekend (Sunday morning), it moved fairly quick and didn’t feel like I was waiting long at all.

Decent coffee, goofy drive thru layout. Only one side for cars so it’s backed up like 6 deep. We opted to park in the lot, walk over to the window. Got our pick me ups in no time at all.
Caramel blondies with no wait… Walk up window… Suckas!

I love this Black Rock! The best BR I’ve been to. FYI if you haven’t seen on the pics already this is a drive-​thru or walk-​up only coffee place, no sit down.
For the first timer to Black Rock, they serve all kinds of drinks, blended coffee drinks, red bull mixes, fruit smoothies, teas iced and hot, to your reg flavor enhanced lattes and mochas. They have it all! My personal fav if an iced Mexican mocha. Seriously try it, you won’t be sorry!!! Think mocha with a Mexican kick… I can’t explain it much more then that. Lol. But you be the next addict.
The guys and girls working here are always way nice and soooo fast. Which is awesome cuz their line goes on forever in the mornings and random during the day and night coffee junkie kicks, so their fast service is so so appealing. :D they are always on it, and never, I mean never make mistakes on your beloved drink.
I actually had a dream the other night my duvet cover was covered in the black and red decals of black rock. Is that called an obsession? Idk but what I do know is that BR kicks all the other coffee places butts to the curb! As for the BR decals… i just may sneak a little tiny Black Rock bumper sticker somewhere obscure to show my loyalty. That’s a BIG deal… as I am SO a bumper sticker nono girl. But come to think of it… my car is black and red (and silver)…so I’m representing just by being within my car. :D (idk why that’s s big deal to me)
O btw guys… please please build some Black Rocks in Seattle… my new home. I go thru withdrawals when I leave Oregon. You will find me shaking, hot and cold, on the point of a seizure next to a Starbx… which one would know is on every corner in Seattle area. Which may I say, I am a starbx junkie too, but absence makes the heart grow fonder for sure!!! Seriously… it’s weird! Go to Seattle and suddenly the urge for starbx is gone!
Anyways, kudos Black Rock, you guys… rock! :)

One Sunday morning, I was in desperate need of caffeine and didn’t feel like visiting one of the three Starbucks near my place. Black Rock Coffee was close and I decided to give it a try.
Black Rock is a small little shack-​like building. They offer drive-​up and walk-​up windows. There is plenty of drink options (both cold and hot) and I think they even make smoothies or some type of fruity drink. The staff makes excellent espresso (none of the burnt espresso that Starbucks sometimes serves up) and they take their time to get your order right (despite the pressure of the long lines). They also have soy and almond milk options and can make drinks dairy free if you ask nicely.
Plenty of parking nearby (car lines can get long, so you may want to park and use the walk up window instead)
They accept paper and plastic (cash&cards).

Best coffee around! WAY better quality, price, AND customer service than Starbucks. Their Chai is to DIE for!

Best coffee HANDS DOWN, I’m a bit of a snob and when it come down to fast coffee Steel bridge is the best. Plus awesome customer service, these people get to know you on a friend basis. My baristas have my coffee waiting and ready for me as soon as I pull up. Which leaves me the time I want to catch up.

This was the first black rock coffee bar we ever frequented. All of the Baristas are super friendly and have gotten to know us well. More often than not our drink is ready and waiting for us by the time we pull up to the window. You just can’t beat that kind of service. Occasionally our preferred drinks are a little less than perfect when they have a new trainee working. It tends to take a little while to work out the kinks. We definitely have particular baristas that we prefer and who tend to make our drinks the best. It’s good to know that they have a customer loyalty program. You get your card punched each time you buy a drink and after 10 punches you receive the 11^th drink free. Remember to bring your own reusable cup and they are always happy to make your drink in that.

This is the second time I have given Black Rock a try and once again I received an awful coffee. Asked for a latte and I got pretty much a 16oz cup of milk, no froth, no texture and certainly no taste of coffee.

I absolutely love my Black Rock! I would go here every day if I could get away with it! The people are always so nice! Keep up the great work!

Place is great love the mango drinks! Go here every now and then to get a drink just can’t get enough of this place and great staff too!

Coffee is awesome the people that work in the little shop always are nice and very friendly and the coffee is amazing a lot of times I just ask what I might like and give an idea of what I normally drink and I’ll make something even more tasty always surprised and happy with my results.

Delicious.

I enjoy this specific location. They are efficient and serves my drink well. caramel Blondie of course!
Wish they had a Wednesday 5 stamp day or something sort of how Dutch bros are.
Be back soon!

I love Black Rock! I usually order a medium Americano ($ 2), which is my go to drink at all places. I always thought their version was the best and super strong and recently found out their secret… they use 3 shots for a medium instead of the 2 that most places uses. I see that as even more reason to come here for my caffeine fix. On those rare occasions when I’m in the mood for a sweet coffee drink, their Blackout or hazelnut mocha is perfect. Don’t forget to get a stamp card too so you can get your 11^th drink for free.

This was my first and favorite Black Rock. I still run through here from time to time for a latte, mocha, or pomegranate iced tea. The kids are friendly, the prices are right, there’s a punch card, and the espresso is addictive. No nasty burnt taste like happens with Starbucks, its not prepulled or overly sweet like some places, and it really is about the yummy drinks. There are some muffin tops, cookies, and granola bars (get that if you have to eat something) but theyre an afterthought. Caffeine is whats REALLY for breakfast.

I do love Black rock Coffee, and I’ve never had a bad experience at other locations. They’ve always been extremely friendly and perky, exactly what you’d expect from a coffee stand. But somehow every time I go to this 185^th location, I get nothing but attitude from the baristas. I know exactly what I want so I don’t waste their time making a decision, and my drink is super easy to make! They have no reason to act the way they do. My advice: take the few extra minutes to drive to the Walker location, where the people are actually friendly.

I don’t go here for the coffee so much as the service. The two blond girls that run the morning shift are always nice and they invite conversation. I love that they do this as it feels nice to just be talked to like a human in the morning. Very professional. The guy that works with them is also really nice. There are 2 other girls in out of there that are nice, I just haven’t gotten to know them yet. I was not a huge black rock fan until I met the girl who had pink highlights, she was so courteous and polite, that I come in every morning just to say hi to her. Great customer service skills!

One of my favorite coffee places. Love their regular coffee or americano. Has a nice aroma and deeply roasted. The baristas always very friendly and Cheerful college kids. I don’t recommend the pastries they are quite dry and artificial tasting.
