(8/27/25) I worked on my laptop while waiting for traffic across the bridge to die down. The whole staff was genuinely hard at work nonstop while it was boiling hot in there. It was a very hot day so it's fine, I'm sure it's not always like that. It didn't bother me too much because I was just sitting the whole time and there were fans to try and keep it decent in there but they were genuinely WORKINGGG like hustlin and bustlin, with a smile on their face, the whole 2.5 hours I was there even with the heat. Had to give credit where it was due. I got an iced mocha it was def yummy! read more

Don't even deserve one star! These girls are horrible!! I walked in because the car line was wrapped around to 82nd. I ordered my coffee and my bosses coffee. To get my order placed I stood there for five minutes. They were just looking at me. Then I placed my order. When I finally got it my bosses coffee lid was broke and spilled all over my pants and hands. I asked for help. None given accept there's napkins over at the station. Went there no napkins. Then I was patiently waiting. One girl said you need an attitude check. I didn't say a word just waiting for help. Like wow! She was around 5'2 maybe 120 pounds long brown hair. But you never know who I know and I'll never forget that face because sometimes it's all about who you know to get that job you want. read more

Ive been many times, worst Blackrock Ive ever been to. Every single worker here is insufferably slow and dont know how to make a coffee. Ask for half sweet? Double the syrup. Awkward, weird, and have an attitude every time you come up to the window. This place sucks. read more

They need to understand how to make a cappuccino. My cappuccino was made like a latte. Way too much milk. read more

My boyfriend and I came to order drinks at 7:40 PM and before we even could talk to the lady, she already acted rude and walked away from us as soon as we got to the window then just stayed in the back. Came out 5 minutes later then proceeded to yell at us telling us they closed and that "maybe we should look at the sign before you just pull up". They close at 8. The way she spoke to us way extremely unprofessional and I will not come back here. read more

I usually love blackrock, the ones next to my home are amazing. Unfortunately this one inparticular was horrible. WORST customer service. "Baristas" were very rude and immature even making fun of a customer. I wouldn't go here unless you feel like getting bullied. read more

Be careful I went here yesterday and the girl took my payment and did not even ask me to put my tip in. I had to ask her do I get to put a tip in and she said oh yes here. If I wouldn't of asked her she would've automatically taken a tip out herself probably for 20% read more

Maybe the barista is new or maybe they don't care. Blond hair working on bar making drinks Someone else took my order - short brownish hair & they repeated the order but got the order completely wrong Season coffee drink - drink special with almond milk sub but unfortunately very obviously made with regular milk and was so watered down ( I'm lactose & now I feel like crap ) And Caramel Blondie with sub, coconut milk, and whip cream to top ... Then I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich ask for hot and it was cold and when I asked for it warm it was very apparent that it was an inconvenience for the barista. What's the point of working as one if you hate it so much ... stay clear of this spot. Hate to say it but it was a shity experience read more

First time here and the coffee was great. Mexican mocha was like having Abuelitas hot chocolate and coffee! The service was sub par, but I expected nothing less. read more

Went through the drive through and the girl working the window was so kind!! Also - pretty good matcha :)

If you're in a pinch and need a coffee, it's an ok spot to grab one to go. The employees were very nice and the place was cute, but it wasn't amazing or anything. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Super cute place - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

Staff is always so kind and attentive. Drinks are pricey but well made to order just the way I like them.

I am updating my earlier review to say that they now have breakfast sandwiches that are AMAZING! There is a local company that makes them as well as other food items like burritos and pastries. Do try an egg sandwich, though. You will not be disappointed. read more

The service was sad to say the least. At first I was completely understanding to the situation until the barista (brown colored hair) making the drinks threw a fit; slammed around items, threw my drink on the counter to the barista (blonde colored hair) at the window and turned and glared at me. I totally understand everyone has a bad day, training someone can be extremely frustrating, but to the extent of this woman's behavior was sad to see from an adult. Backstory, the young man taking the order was struggling, couldn't hear me through the speaker box, so I was basically yelling at it trying to take my order, he kept saying the wrong drink, I ordered a blended Blondie with oatmilk and no whip. The drink went from a blondie, to a cocoa, to a blondie with coconut milk, to just adding cocoa to the blondie. Which was all fine, patience was had as he said he was struggling, but there was a line, so I just couldn't order at the actual window. Finally, after several attempts, I thought we finally nailed the order and was told to pull forward, see you at the window. Upon my turn, they handed me the drink, blondie with coconut milk, to which, I was like, oh no, that's supposed to be a blondie with oatmilk. The gal at the window, was slightly rude, but I tried to explain the situation to lighten the frustrations, even though they weren't my doing and was cut off with a shortness. Again, okay that's fine, won't take it personally but then comes the barista making the drink and the above happened. Very unpleasant, and unprofessional. Honestly shocked by it. read more

I only go to black rock I don't want to drive to far. Black rock is right the street from me. I will not go back to the Happy Valley location on SE Sunnyside. The girl taking my order I asked for specific add on to my fuel. I ordered extra thick in the clouds with whipped parfait. She doesn't know what extra thick means. The drink comes out of a slushy machine. There is no coconut flavor, no sweet cream and she stirred the whipped cream parfait into the drink! I wasted my free drink. read more

I'm a regular at this black rock.. probably the best service I've had at a coffee place. They are always efficient as possible and have great customer service. I often go through the drive thru, but I've been inside a couple times and the vibe they have is super chill and it's very welcoming and cozy. All of the workers I've met here have been awesome ! My drinks are always made perfect and they are consistent on taste. Definitely recommend ! read more

Employees are always wonderful. Very kind. They make the coffees with speed and you're in and out of there which I really like and they pay attention to what you ask for. I just want to tell them all Awesome Job ! Thank you ! Tina Awesome Job Everyone read more

This place is like any other Coffee chain. Nothing special about service or coffee. But to each their own. read more

Coffee is awesome, not bitter, and the right balance of sweeteness for most drinks. My only issue is that I've gone multiple times after ordering in the app, but something on my order wasn't in stock when I arrived. This last time, I saw her processing my refund for the item, but for some reason, it didn't go through. This location has seating inside that has been tidy every time I've gone. The staff is always sweet despite being so busy. read more

Great drive through , Great staff and coffee is hella good. Great place to stop in the afternoon for a pick me up for the commute. read more

Having been to Black Rock on several occasions (not a coffee drinker here) and having been underwhelmed with my Iced Tea each time, I have to say that this establishment is not high on my rotation. I would say that it falls into the "no other options" category. Iced tea is super cheap to make and essentially all profit for the business, I would like to think they can offer a bigger size and more Tea to go with the ice. Again, not a coffee drinker here so please do not judge them and the coffee they serve based on my review. This is strictly related to the Iced Tea. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - His is a large Iced Tea - which is not big and so full of ice you only get about 10 swallows of drink. Not worth the money. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

Very unprofessional. Manager is very rude. Gave me a sticky ass cup. Make my drink wrong. Not the first time. Don't come here. Disappointed

I waited 15-20 minutes in a long line, got to window and the barista ignored me. This was the worst experience I've ever had at a coffee shop. I left the window after 5 minutes of being ignored. She could have at least greeted me, while she was working on coffees. This must be the worst store they have. I won't ever go back. read more

no they never refunded me. apparently they cant find my order even though i can still see the charge on my card

This Black Rock has inside seating including some comfy chairs! ( on the west side so far they're all drive ups). I love Black Rock. Because: delicious espresso drinks punch cards fast friendly baristas My out of town family liked their mochas a lot. My Omaha cousin had TWO mochas. I'm guessing his wife had to peel him off the ceiling later. Think I shouldha told him how many shots were in those? Naah. ;) read more

How this place has anything less than a 5 star rating is beyond me. The coffee and food has been spot-on every time I've gone. But more importantly, every single staff member finds a way to start my day off in the best way. They all ask you about your day, what you have planned, they even got suuuuper excited when I told them I was getting a dog of my own. Any place that can spark joy in such a short interaction deserves lots of business. I appreciate y'all! read more

This is literally my favorite of all coffee stands and of all of black rock's coffee stands. I love the almond poppy seed, seriously problematic it's so good. I love the caramel blondie, just amazing. The best part of black rock in general, but specifically this location, are the people who work there. I know all coffee baristas are supposed to be friendly, but seriously, my interactions with them have been so authentic and heartwarming. They seem to genuinely enjoy their job, which is pretty admirable. read more

This is not how you make a latte. Wow. Terrible. Nice people though. Someone needs some training.

Only leaving 2 stars cause the wait is never less then 20 minutes. Always 3-4 people inside but for some reason they service is so slow !

The staff and coffee are excellent! I come here often as it's my daughter's favorite place for coffee, so I pick one up for her and I, as she's a new mom and harder to get away. I'll keep coming back for more though! read more

The 2 stars are for the upbeat and friendly staff. But if you want to feel like you're in a concert with music blasting so loud that you need ear plugs and only have a small selection of beverages than what is posted then this is not the place for you. I was looking for a place to do some class work and sip on a coffee, but it was impossible to concentrate with the yelling and impromptu karaoke with the blasting music. I also had asked for their chai...they were out at 11 in the morning. So I asked for cold brew....also out. So settled for a regular iced coffee. Also no soap in the bathroom which my husband told one of the staff and in the hour that we stayed and I tried to focus it was not refilled. Love the location and energy, just not welcoming for patrons to stay and enjoy. read more

So we have never been to a Black Rock and wasn't sure what to expect. The menu was right next to where you order...with the length of the line, it would have been nice to have a menu posted where we could review it before ordering. But what gave this review less than a five star was the person working there. Is there no dress code of any kind? She was wearing low riding yoga pants and a crop top and her belly button piercing was just right at car level, so it was kind of hard to miss. I never thought of myself as a prude, but maybe I am? I just thought that was a lot of skin to show at a drive up window. So I won't be going back. read more

If I could give this zero stars I would. My barista was a younger girl with thin black hair and braces. Her customer service was incredibly disappointing. She shoved the payment iPad in my face when I asked what flavors she had, then she shoved the drinks out the window in my face instead of handing it to me. During this interaction she was talking to her coworker about "why they got fired from Dutch bros". Both drinks were super watered down and virtually transparent. Not coming to this location again. I know people have bad days but it's still expected to have a mild sense of professionalism. read more

Really enjoy these kids there great only 2 improvements I can add is management needs to put more lighting on building very dark especially in drive through I almost got hit twice because I'm a walk up would love to see more light on window side. The drive through can use a clean up very dirty with trash. Thank you.... read more

Haven't had a bad experience yet. They are always friendly and efficient. I've gone inside where there is a fire place on during winter months and done the drive through. Which ever I choose it is always good service and smiles all around. read more

Be cautious of how much they charge you for your drinks when paying with a card!! I checked my bank today after visiting here yesterday, and saw that the barista gave themselves a tip that I did not enter. It's not enough to go back and argue with them over, but it makes me wonder how many other people they have done this to. read more

This little coffee place is a new find for our family and we love it. The servers are so kind and social. My favorite is the Carmel Blondie. I stopped going Starbucks for political reasons and never patronized Dutch Brothers ( not giving them the opportunity to judge me with a straw), so what a relief to find this great coffee place. read more

Very slow service in the drive through. I had 2 cars in front of me and sat for 15 minutes in line. Inside of the store was not busy at all, it was after the busy time. If you are in a hurry I'd avoid this location read more

Not consistent and most of the barista are not the nicest. If you go during the evening, it's a big problem for them to make drinks apparently read more
