We love BlackRock! Not too many coffee spots in Lakeway/BeeCave are worth targeting as "favorites," so the drive down SW Pkwy is well worth it! Extra nod to barista Gabrielle! For a while it seemed this cool spot lost its *happy quotient* as we would describe the usual friendly and personable staff, which was always a highlight whether being greeted at the drive thru or inside at counter. The hires didn't seem engaged or purposeful workers. The attitudes took a noticeable turn, which was such a shame. Now it seems theres been a great shift back to the pleasantries! Kudos to mgmt for finding/hiring the right fit... Gabrielle knows her stuff and has an ear/eye for amazing customer service. Staff like her are infectious~~they make the place!! It's fun to continue to return frequently when people once again reflect some joy in service//amazing work ethic! PS. The seasonal Easy Tiger baked goods are delicious + the Christmastime coffee cups have a sense of humor//not locked in to the same old holiday colors! read more

I like their coffee and pastries but man, it's pricey. I stopped by today and got a Tacodeli taco. I understand they don't make them, but $4.79 for a tasteless, 3 bite taco. Come on. Y'all can do better. read more

I went here to get some work done last Thursday. It was busy around 9am ish but was still able to find a table next to the wall outlet. I ordered pretty quickly and my drink/food came out soon after that. The Tacodeli was just ~okay~, same with the Nitro cold brew. The vibes/music were good and the bathrooms were clean. It's a decent neighborhood coffee shop but I prefer other coffee shops in Austin. read more

Unfortunately this was a total miss. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and got a cup of flavored milk. No coffee taste at all. This is one of those fast food energy type coffee shops so I wouldn't add this to your coffee list. read more

This was my first time going to Black Rock Coffee Bar. I wanted to spend a chill morning/afternoon here and get some work done. It was very overcrowded, so I just placed an ordered to go. I got a Matcha latte and Blueberry muffin. The matcha was great, just too much ice. The muffin was not fresh, but I'd come back to try more of the drink menu. If you're hungry they sell tacos from Taco Deli. It would be nice if they partnered with a local business for food. Both people in front of me received the wrong order which was a bit concerning. Instead of calling out names they should definitely give out numbers or just pay more attention to detail as it was definitely the fault of the baristas. read more

I love this Black Rock location! The staff is always super friendly! One of my favorite study places for sure. Drinks are always amazing!

They make coffee. All kinds of coffee. You can get lattes and cappuccino and cold brew and whatever else they make. The best part...they don't look at me funny when I order coffee. Black. Just coffee. Thanks. Pastries are pretty good as well. I haven't tried the drive thru but it seems to move along efficiently. read more

This is the 2nd time we have come for a coffee and the place closes too early! 7pm on a weekend?

Black Rock Coffee is a gem! Cool vibe, super friendly service, and an awesome menu -- they even serve breakfast tacos from Tacodeli. I was staying at a nearby hotel with my family and we tried a little bit of everything: a frozen mocha, sugar-free s'mores latte, mango raspberry shaken tea, and two salted caramel shakes. Everyone raved about their drinks, but I have to say, my s'mores latte was next level. The toasted marshmallow on top was perfection, and the fact that they offered a sugar-free version totally blew me away. I loved it so much, I came back the next morning for another one -- and grabbed a breakfast taco while I was at it. Also amazing. If they had a Black Rock in Hawaii where I live, I'd be broke. It's that good! read more

favorite thing to get on a hot summer day, they have a bunch of different flavors as well. service is great and drive through moves pretty quick. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Frozen Sunrise Fuel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Was stopping in to pick up a drink for my hairstylist before my appointment and found out they do $4 medium coffee based drinks on Tuesdays (today is Tuesday) and I was so excited! I got the pumpkin blondie and it has to be one of the best coffee based drinks I've had. I definitely see myself coming in for more drinks in the future. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Iced Pumpkin Blondie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

You know, I was wrong about Black Rock -- this is an amazing chain, the best in Austin by a mile, and one of the best you're likely to encounter besides, this place is truly a gem. I initially had complaints about not being able to see certain nutritional information, and not being able to contact anyone directly, but they have won me over. The staff here have ALWAYS been very polite, friendly, and helpful. They have taken time when there have been issues, and have gone out of their way to ensure I leave with a smile -- the type of service that most places don't put on anymore. And you know what? Not only did they follow up on my earlier poor review multiple times (always via Yelp, never in person, they were very respectful), but I've noticed new stickers showing some of the nutritional information I was asking after at the location I visit now. Black Rock, you are wonderful! read more

Delicious coffee with great service. The inside is spacious and they have an outside area. The parking is good, they have a nice size parking lot. read more

Coffee good. Service ok. Atmosphere bad. The music is played way way too loud. The place is not kept well and is not as clean as it should be. Just not a comfortable coffee shop. This location should be drive through only. Grab and go is the way to go w this coffee shop. read more

Black Rock is my partner's go to coffee shop on Friday mornings for a treat. We were in the area and decided to drop by when we saw the sign. Coffee shop is super appealing when you walk in. So beautifully designed. Very modern and clean. Service was good and all around had a good experience. I can see why he keeps coming back. We would pay more visits if we lived in the area. For now he'll be the one dropping by regularly. read more

I've been waiting for a coffee for more than 15 minutes. I want to leave but it's already paid for. Hopefully the 8 employees behind the counter can get it out in the next 10 minutes. read more

First time stopping here. We tried the sublime frozen fuel and the kids got the berry smoothies. They were all really good. I really liked their outdoor patio area for the kids. We will definitely come back. read more

Their cappuccinos have become ranked in my top 5 in ATX, I love that they open up at 5am, and their service is always so kind! Thankful to live less than a mile away read more

The Hutto location is across from my house and I drive thru often. Fairly good matcha. Pretty good coffee and fantastic cookies (from Easy Tiger in Austin) I joined the rewards program and it sucks. The app never works right and I can never get the rewards. That said, I will simply delete the app. This past weekend, I went inside for the 1st (and last) time. The music is loud but that's ok for me. The seating is not comfortable at all. The 2 upholstered sofas were so filthy that I could not bring myself to sit there. Will I return? I will probably drive thru occasionally, but really-- only because there is no place close. read more

Nicest staff ever! Shaken espresso was yum. super cute inside and reasonably priced. Will be back, sign up for free drink if it's your first time being there read more

Best cappuccino!! Love the atmosphere and up beat service! I always stop for my coffee and service is super fast and friendly!

We only tried out the coffee this time from the drive thru. We ordered the iced caramel blondie and the hot caramel truffle. We enjoyed both of them, but definitely preferred the blondie. We mentioned to the barista that it was our first time and she took time to explain different drinks and ask us about our preferences. We did see a lot of people with their dogs outside which is good to know for the future! read more

This Black Rock location is conveniently located in South Austin off of Southwest parkway. Expect there to usually be a longer line in the drive-thru during peak coffee-consuming hours. But, the staff here are on top of it & typically get through the drive-thru lines fairly quickly, so be patient with & nice to the staff - they're mostly younger kids/adults, but super sweet & willing to help! I've been a drive-thru customer of this Black Rocks for two years now, as it's a few minutes away from home for me. They provide consistently quick & kind service. The food & drinks are consistently high quality as well. For their coffee, i've tried the Iced Mexican Mocha, the cold brew, and the Iced Caramel Blondie. I recommend them all, but my favorite is the iced caramel blondie. For food, i've only tried their Taco Deli sourced breakfast tacos, & they always satisfy & hit the bfast taco craving. Their prices are right in line with Starbucks', but i prefer to come here instead bc it's closer, and supporting not as much of or as bad of a big corporatey chain like 'bux Anddddd according to my personal pupcup connoisseur, Black Rock also makes the finest, most robust pupcup in allllll of the land! Not only much bigger in size, they also come with not one, but TWO dog treatos on top!! read more

So this was my first time stopping at this coffee shop because I was visiting a friend who lives nearby, and she stops here frequently, so I decided to check it out. First impression, trendy look, clean on the inside, and greeted by friendly faces. I ordered a cold brew, along with a toasted bagel, and sat outside and enjoyed the 70 degree texas December temperature. Very relaxing vibe. The coffee is very good as well! read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been a fan of Black Rock for a few years and it seems like recently the Black Rock on Southwest Parkway has gone down SIGNIFICANTLY. It seems like 1 out of 7 days your coffee will be made correctly, and if you try to tell the staff the drink was made wrong they will begin to give you rude attitude and make side comments to other employees right in front of you. The original staff that I first interacted with were much more diligent and made all of the orders correctly EVERYTIME. read more

This is a cute coffee bar located in South Austin which offers a variety of options. Let's not forget, this place is generous with their pup cups - a definite hit for my big boy. Also a favorite spot for those who want to sit outside and do a little remote work. Cozy and quiet (on some days) - a hidden gem worth exploring. read more

I was really annoyed when came here. How do you not have a menu inside? Latte was very mid.

This coffee bar is legit. Smiling and friendly baristas! If I still worked from home, I'd definitely make this place my go-to work spot - it was such a chill vibe that my friend immediately started scoping out areas with outlets so he could go work from there! Really adorable place with great drinks. I ordered the Mexican mocha latte and it did not disappoint. read more

We got some nitro brew with cream and they were lackluster. The cream was separated from the coffee and it was quite hard to get it to mix. Not flavorful. If anything, quite bitter. Starbucks, unfortunately, makes them way better. On a good note, they serve Tacodeli! read more

We have been coming to this location for years. It used to be consistent and great coffee, we would drive out of our way to get. However, recently the quality has gone way down. Drinks are not consistent, often tasting burnt. Most recently my medium hot caramel blondie was only filled 2/3 of the way full with a thick foam layer and 1/4 of the cup not filled at all. It felt very light when i was handed the cup, but didn't open it until i got back to work. New ownership? Unsure, but quality is definitely lacking. Not sure we will continue to come here. read more

Love the Black Rock coffee shop. It's got everything! Great coffee, happy people, drive through,and at one point, my favorite cap ever. I couldn't be happier to have this shop in my neighborhood, and apparently I'm not alone, because the lines can be long and all the seats taken. No bother, there's outside seating for everyone and their dog. read more
