Tried for the first time based on a recommendation. Asked for coffee with steamed half and half. Drip coffee was supposedly dark roast, but it tasted weak and watered down with little to no flavor. Tasted about like McDonald's coffee, only lighter. They gladly re-made it and it still tasted about the same. The use of generic brand sweeteners is also a sign of low-quality and cutting corners. Bagel was decent. Overall, was not impressed. Back to Starbucks. read more

I like BR coffee and have visited several across the Houston area. This one the coffee was just as good as the others. The staff were friendly and helpful. The reason for my low review rating is due to the below. I felt like I was in a club from the moment I walked in. The music was so loud you could hear it at the door. Due to the music volume, folks in the shop were talking so loud you could barely hear yourself think. Much less when they called your order out. The chairs and tables were horrible. Nothing says we do not want you to stay long, like hard metal cold chairs and high top tables. read more

Service is good and so is the ambiance. Drinks are good as well can't complain today. Will be coming by this way more often as it is closer to us- read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Caramel Blondie chiller - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Katy, Texas

Caramel blonde and the Irish Coffee were our coffee selections today! Pretty good size for a medium. Flavors are great on both of them, but they are very very very sweet, so beware! Both are very creamy and you can still taste the coffee in them. Wish the coffee taste was stronger! Pro tip: scan their QR code at the register to get a free medium drink when you get their app. Worth a try if you haven't been here yet!! read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Iced Caramel Blondie and Iced Irish Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Katy, Texas

If you're looking for a coffee shop that has something else other than coffee, then this is the place for you! I got a hibiscus tea with peach flavor and it was so refreshing!! They also have energy drinks too. The service was quick and the workers were really nice and answered all my questions about the drinks. The store is really clean and there's lots of tables to sit at to meet with friends or work. They had majority high top tables, a bar seating area, and a big communal table. I also saw a couch sitting area in the back too.If you come definitely bring a jacket, it gets a little chilly inside!! Overall, great coffee shop. I will be back for my tea :) read more

This was my first time trying Black Rock Coffee, and I was thoroughly impressed! I ordered the Caramel Blondie, and it was absolutely delicious--easily one of the best drinks I've had across all the coffee spots I've visited. The shop itself was clean, modern, and inviting, with plenty of parking available, which made the visit even better. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I love black rock and honestly stop by at least 3-4 times a week mid afternoon . I loved the caramel blondie at first but switched over to the Mai Tai recently, at first it was great!!! Aesthetically pleasing to the eye and tasted great, not too much syrup like most places. Now within the past 2-3 weeks I notice they have stopped blending the drink and all of the syrup sits on the top in a pool. I think this was pretty recent so I'm not sure if new staff has come in and been lazy with blending the drinks or a recipe change but it has made me think of switching back to Starbucks which is conveniently right next door. Yes it's a little annoying to receive an unblended drink once or twice and have to mix it with the straw but it's every time I order a 'blended drink'. I stop at black rock when I'm on the go or in a rush and don't want to have to make a mess mixing my own drink when I pay 6$ and tip for it to come that way in the first place. I want to end this by saying I love black rock and the staff used to be so great!!! I'm not sure what caused the change but it's been about 2 weeks waiting for it to get better with nothing changing. read more

First time visiting this location. I ordered the Nitro cold brew with vanilla and a bagel. Jaden was the cashier and he was so helpful and friendly. Loved my coffee and the ambience. I worked from here remotely for the day I'll definitely be back. read more

As far as nitro cold brews go, this place does some magic with oat milk and their syrup. An XL nitro cold brew with ; pumps syrup will put you back under $8 but your mouth and energy level will take you to the moon. You're welcome and meet you at the drive through. And can someone remind me to pick up one of their locally made pastries next time? K thanks bye read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - nitro caramel iced with oak milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Katy, Texas

Don't be fooled by the outside; it may look small and plain but once you open that door, you're stepping into a modern large barista shop with a dope interior. Plenty of seating and some lounge sofas to hang at when you're here so it's a great place to relax or catch up on work/adult things. As for the coffee, the latte I ordered tasted fine with a good amount of milk foam. Staff is helpful and helped me navigate the menu as a first timer. Seems like a fairly new place in the south Katy area. It'll be jumping when the area is fully developed so might as well enjoy it before the crowds start swarming. read more

Love Black Rock!!! Never disappoints! My favs are Caramel blondie hot or frozen and hot White out with half and half

Incredibly slow drive through. Wasted 30 min stuck in the drive through. I was so upset I wasted 30 min of my morning waiting for below average coffee flavored milk. read more

Great coffee on Sunday while out driving around with my wife. Friendly service and quick drive through.

I love the place. Best deals, and price and staff is soooooo nice and always helpful.

No. Flavor. The espresso just didn't kick like it should. It felt so..... Bland. Sigh. Maybe next time it will be different. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Katy, Texas

Black Rock Coffee Bar looks small from the outside. It has a decently sized seating area, with a couch, tables with stools, and a bigger table for larger groups. This is a great place to study, meet with friends, or just sit and take a break from your busy schedule. I ordered a Mexican hot chocolate with almond milk and received a mocha. Black Rock was swift in remedying the issue when I explained the situation. I appreciated the unisex bathroom with a lock that displayed the availability status (vacant or occupied) on the outer handle. My one suggestion is that they lower the volume for the music and choose songs that suit the coffee shop ambiance. read more

Delicious coffee! We came by for Black Rock Coffee Bar's opening week BOGO deal today, and the wait at the drive-thru was so worth it. I tried the latte, which I ordered "blended" (like a Frappuccino) and added coconut syrup. It was so so good and perfect for a hot day! The coconut flavor really stood out without overpowering the coffee. My boyfriend tried the blackout (hazelnut mocha) and really enjoyed it as well. I was really impressed by how friendly the employees were who ran the drive-thru today and how fast everything went. I was also so surprised at how many different syrup flavors they have! We will definitely be back soon to try more drinks. read more

I always order the same thing, and service is usually good, but this time there was a a young dirty-blonde haired girl who served me and she was quite rude. read more

It was my first time here and I will definitely be coming back! The speaker wasn't working so everyone had to order at the window which caused the wait to be a bit long but the service made up for it. I informed the cashier that it was my first time and she was kind enough to give me several suggestions! I chose the sausage, cheese and jalapeño kolache and the Irish coffee. Both were super tasty and I plan on visiting again soon! read more

I was very disappointed with my iced latte with soy milk. The espresso was bland with little aromas. If you care a lot about the actual quality of the coffee, I don't recommend this place. On the other hand, you might love Black Rock if you like flavored coffee drinks. They have a wide range of selections. The staff is friendly and would welcome you with a smile. Although there aren't many outlets, the bright lighting is perfect for studying or working. Black Rock is certainly a solid place for most people. I just don't see myself coming back since I don't ever drink flavored coffees. read more

Really good coffee and tea, fast and very friendly drive thru service too. Wish I would have gotten the young lady's name that helped us. Genuine and friendly. Only wish I would have been offered a receipt. read more

I loved the vibes of this place and the staff were quite friendly. I tried a secret menu item called the Whiteout and it's so good! Tried many of the items on the menu as well as the tacos there and I'd totally recommend this place. The only thing is the music is a bit loud, so just an fyi if you're trying to get work done there. read more

My wife and I stopped in for the first time this morning. Just wanted to try some place new that wasn't sb. Ordered my usual, iced coffee and it was really good. Had the black bean and avocado taco, very good. Pricing seams to be similar. The service was really fast - not like sb. But, BEST of all, we could sit and have our coffee and eat our taco. Inside. Like pre COVID days. Again, not like sb. Definitely will be back in here. read more

It is not Starbucks, it's better! I loved the service they helped this old women decide what I would like and they were on the button! I was not a number or name to be shouted out I was a customer who was treated with respect. read more

Finally found a coffee place that feeds my soul. You know - the feeling you get - when you find that place of yours- like your favorite ramen place or hangout place or whatever it is. Just the thought of that place, is exciting enough. Turns out, that is how amazing my first experience was at this place. I think I finally found my happy coffee place. Excellent and affordable coffee (and other drinks), amazing - humane customer service and jet speed prep. What more can one ask for. Also the servers telling you about their amazing happy hour. It's definitely nirvana. Too bad it's a bit out of the way for me. But definitely a good reason to come out here, to grab these amazing drinks. It's certainly getting up there in the non-Starbucks market. And yes, being nice is not out of fashion, for sure. read more

First time trying the coffee shop. I had the Mexican Mocha iced coffee since it was late afternoon and needed a caffeine boost to get through work. The flavors were robust but smooth and flavorful. I would give them another try because I was impressed as I'm a bonafide coffee snob....LOL and it was pretty good. I'm not that close to this place but if I'm ever over that way I would go for cup of hot coffee as well. I'm just so excited we have so many quaint original coffee houses new to the Katy area so that we have several option other than the nameless popular venue. Give it try try to see what you like. Nice option for the community. read more

ATTENTION COFFEE DRINKERS: I wish there were more locations, but coffee here is fantastic! The strength, presentation, variety, and customer service is great!

Omg I'm obsessed with this place! I've been trying to not drink so much coffee, but ever since this place I've been craving for it everyday. I get the caramel truffle blended w/ soy milk and it's delicious. If only it's not a drive for me, I will be there everyday. They have a drive thru and it's a lot quicker than Starbucks for sure. There's also pastries you can by w/ your drinks. I haven't gotten a chance to try their pastries yet, but one day I will. read more

My friend & I found this wonderful little gem on our lunch run today. The staff is so nice & equally as excited for us to try our items as we were. Coffee tasted on point for the descriptions given. We tried out the Mexican Mocha & the Iced Toffee Nut Latte. The pricing & taste makes this an automatic regular coffee shop An then decided to try their Infused Fuel (Teal). With all honesty we got it b/c it was pretty. But it has a great flavor (it's taste pretty much like a regular Red Bull). What I really liked is you can customize you fuel w/ their flavor. Can't wait to go back & try Green Apple Oh and don't forget to become a member!!!! read more

My daughter who lives in Portland Oregon recommended Black rock coffee bar. She is absolutely correct. They have the best coffee I've ever tasted. I had always patronize the other coffee shop Starbucks, but they lost their rating once I tasted the coffee here. I went through the drive-through and the young lady was very friendly informative and had a great personality and smile. I simply ordered a bold cup of coffee with some sugar-free vanilla and cream who could ask for anything more. I definitely will be back. read more

By FAR my favorite LOCATION! This location has the best customer service and always remembers who I am. They always make an effort to have a conversation with you. I come here instead of Starbucks because of the consistency. They are always fast and the coffee is delicious. Never had a bad experience here. I've been coming here since they opened! The team is top notch and pays attention to customer needs. The facility is always clean. I work in the spa industry so customer service and cleanliness is a key factor to me. LOVE THE KATY GRAND PARKWAY LOCATION read more

Early Saturday morning long line went pretty quick. About 15 cars ahead of me at 7:45am and took me about 15 ish minutes to the front and out with my order. They are pretty fast for being a brand new business! I'd say that they are super efficient as well. I ordered their blended white mocha and a blueberry muffin. Highly recommended!!!! Also, staff is super friendly and very professional! read more

I'm pretty sure people don't know the taste of coffee and just like going here if they love American version of coffee diabetes in a cup . It used to be good but my mom loved it so I kept coming here. (She loves overly sweet drinks ) . I have had 3 bad experience and service from Katy location. Last december the lid was defective and coffee spilled all over the car (I even put water in it and tried to drink because maybe it was my fault but nope water all over my face hha) , and then 2 days ago when we asked for half sweet it tasted like absolute diabetes in a cup I promise you. My mom is obsessed with making drinks sweeter with her own sweetener and she couldn't even drink it . Today I got 2 of the same order and one is WHITE . WHITE. It tastes like milk and I cannot drink it . read more
