I have to admit that we generally avoid chain restaurants only because we really like to support local. However, while in Portland OR we stopped into a Black Rock Coffee Bar. I knew that I would want to review Black Rock even before we ordered because of how extraordinarily friendly and inviting the staff was. None of the interactions felt fake. We felt welcomed and appreciated right out of the gates. We opted to try their coffee as well as some of their food. Fortunately for us they have a breakfast anytime menu. Let's start with the food. My wife had egg white, ham and gruyere egg bites while I simply could not turn away from the grilled cheese sandwich. It sounded really good and the barista said it was a fan favorite. Let me just say the egg bites were perfect. Not rubbery, but full of flavor and just the right size. I would put them up against egg bites at any restaurant. As for the grilled cheese, it was on sourdough and toasted perfectly. Every bite was crunchy, gooey, and delicious. It totally hit the spot. As far as the coffee is concerned I had a hot latte which is always my go to in trying a new coffee place. While my wife opted for an iced coffee. Both were delicious and satisfying. Really like their roast because it's not bitter or overly strong. It is just full bodied which is very pleasing to the palate. As I said off the top we don't generally gravitate toward chain stores but if my travels pick me near a Black Rock I will stop in again! read more

Decided to come with my family and everyone decided to order complicated drinks. The baristas made 7 different drinks very fast and they all tasted very delicious! My favorite drink to get is the Carmel blondie either hot or iced! I also got their sausage green chili breakfast burrito but was not a fan, it was very mushy. Haven't gone much inside but from what I remember it is bright and clean. read more

This is my home location and I'm a big fan of their cold brew as well as energy drink beverages. I hate the new rewards system and app they went to though. It's messy, gives you less than the old one did, and requires yet another app despite them still asking for my phone number. It has limited how often I go since Starbucks has a better rewards program and their coffee doesn't average out to be 9 bucks for an extra large like it does here. The coffee is good, but I'm not sure what they were thinking with the rewards system change. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Interior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Travel worker must... Coffee in its simplest terms... nothing fancy for me! Regular brew is outstanding flavor grind. Price is right ... I keep going because of guys like you... thanks read more

Ordered an Oreo chiller, clearly has no Oreo in it which is fine, mistakes happen.. decide to take it in to swap and the girl with the eye makeup looks at me like I'm an idiot setting she used the last of the Oreos on it and it is correct- coworker looking at her like "this is wrong" but she stays firm. It's whatever , I leave with the wrong drink but it would have been a very easy fix: p.s. - if it is true that the crumbs or the last bit of Oreo was in this shake, that is lazy work not going to grab more to use an adequate amount of an ingredient in a product that costs $8. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Literally no Oreo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I typically do not review chain shops but I've been coming to this Black Rock for the last couple years with coworkers and every time we use their drive through our experience has been exceptional. The coffee in my opinion is nothing super exceptional, but it's never been bad. What makes or breaks places like this for me is always the service and accuracy of the order. The individuals I've encountered here are always friendly and the folks making the drinks always create the drinks accurately. The service is prompt, accurate, and done with a smile. Couple that with consistent drinks and I have a lot of confidence if you are coming here with proper expectations you will not be disappointed. read more

This is my first time at this location , and first time at a Black Rock that has indoor service. It was great. Same fast and friendly service as the drive through . The staff here is really good , they had so much going on, but got it done . Bathroom (real reason I went in) was sparkling clean . I felt bad for the people at the Starbucks across the street. They had no idea what they were missing. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - The teenage barista drew on a heart on my son's drink. He definitely appreciated it! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

So nice and friendly!! I love this place! Everytime I come by they are sweet and very quick

Great coffee, great service! While visiting with relatives in Vancouver WA/Portland OR I was taken to Black Rock coffee. It was amazing and I ended up going there several times. Their service is excellent and their coffee is amazing! I wish there was one near me in So Cal, I'd go there several times a week for sure! read more

I love this location. I stop by here at least 3 times a week - the staff is always friendly, fast, and consistent. My wife and I usually order an oat milk cappuccino dry w/ an add shot, and an oat milk mocha w/ an add shot. For whatever reason, some places have a lot of difficulty with this order, Black Rock never has. It's nice to have a quick coffee spot I can rely on. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - small oat milk mocha w/ an add shot - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Great coffee and great service! Stopped in here as an option that wasn't Starbucks (which is across the street). This was our first time trying it and we liked the look of the shop from the outside. Inside has a cool vibe and friendly people. I ordered black coffee (I know I'm boring) and my wife had the black and white mocha. Both drinks were great and came out fast. They have a few tables to sit at and the drive thru was pretty steady, but moving. I'd come back here if I am in the area. Thanks Black Rock! read more

Music was playing so loud we had to yell to try to place our order. (It was a decent jam playing, but I'd have rather not had to yell.) But it didn't matter, this is another one of those coffee shops that wants to be taken seriously, but can't give you a coffee in a real cup. Paper only. We left without ordering. They were nice enough about it but didn't really seem to care much, so I'll go with "not the staff's fault, this is a management problem." read more

Okay, this was my first time ever at BR Coffee. It's been on my list for a while and after a visit to Kaiser, I treated myself (before heading back to work, so I know you understand). I went through the drive thru and when I told the gal I had never been here before, she was so helpful! She jumped into letting me know what some of the more popular options are as well as some off menu coffee variations that people really love. I chose the snickers coffee. I don't even remember all of what she said was in it, but it was so good! I also added on a breakfast burrito which was massive - I was *not* expecting that. I ended up splitting it with a coworker. It was a little too spicy for my plain jane pallet (i like spice, but spice doesn't like me). I still enjoyed it even if it wasn't my favorite flavorings (it wasn't the burrito's fault, it was mine). I don't know if all the BR locations are this wonderful, but I'll definitely have to visit this one again next time I'm in the area! read more

I'd never tried this place so my cousin decided we'd try it. Drive through service is pretty quick, our orders were correct, and friendly folks. I ordered a warm caramel coffee concoction (sorry I can't remember the name). What I can remember is that it was too hot to drink and it was so sweet I thought it would be a great challenge to any one's A1C rating. I'm sorry to give this such a low rating but I couldn't drink my drink, throwing it in the sink. If I return, I'll ask for a not so sugary drink. read more

Came here Fpr the first time ever and was actually really impressed with how delicious the coffee was. I got a blondie and it was so good! My husband doesn't like coffee drinks but he actually really loved this. Totally going back! read more

I have tried it a few times. The customer service is overly enthusiastic which shows the lack of confidence that their products wont sell. I don't like the coffee flavors either. read more

What kind of coffee shop can't serve a simple cup of coffee? Apparently I've found it. Went in at 2pm on a weekday. Told the lady it was my first visit and asked for a dark roast coffee. That got me a confused look and "I'll go check." She comes back and says "We have it but we're out." Ooookkkkkk. I then asked for whatever drip coffee they were offering. "Oh, we don't have any of that right now." Unfricking-believable! So I settled for an Americano with one sugar. She must have thought that I meant a POUND of sugar because it was undrinkable. Or maybe she misheard me because the music was blasting at an ear splitting volume. Maybe I got a bad location with a bad employee on a bad day, but I won't be hurrying back. read more

We love going to this Black Rock location--great drinks and food, WONDERFUL baristas, close to home--but when the weather is hot, the temperature inside the store is UNBEARABLE. They apparently have no air conditioning, and no ceiling fans, no shady seating outside, only a garage door that can be opened to let the hot air in. We feel so sorry for the baristas who have to work in there! Driving through to pick up coffee is fine, but sometimes you want to sit for a while with your computer in a place where "everybody knows your name." This Black Rock is just like that, but we'll have to wait for fall till we can go back. read more

My office and I have ordered from this location for years and within the last few months the quality has gone from good to absolutely awful!!!! The order ALWAYS has at least one thing wrong with it and we have to go back to get it fixed, but the second time around it somehow gets worse. The coffee tastes burnt and the espresso shots taste stale. I would recommend going to any other location than this. I hope they can change their ways and improve because they are losing out and we are now having to go further out of our way to a different Black Rock. Don't waste your money time. read more

This is my all time favorite blackrock Best people ever and its just a great spot to get work done or chill. Don't think I've ever gotten a wrong drink, if anything I've gotten some good suggestions and new favorites actually. Great atmosphere and convenient location right off 205. Makes work days a ton better, and they know what I get every time and that's pretty cool. Great staff great place, no complaints. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - a candle on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I love Black Rock coffee, drinks, and treats. After ordering at the drive thru, 2 of the 3 employees I could see in the store were not wearing masks during a pandemic, including the gentleman who handed me my drink out the window. Maybe you've heard of it: COVID19. 160,000 people have DIED in the U.S. so far. The state has mandated food businesses to wear masks. Thanks for not worrying about your customers' safety, BR. read more

One of the baristas cussed me out for no reason , I pulled up to the window and tried ordering and she yelled at me saying it's closed . They close at 7 it was 7:03 .. I said ok and was about to drive away and she yelled saying ' don't f*ing look at me like that' and slammed the window .. she was a blondie with a couple piercings. Their should be some precautions made before hiring , nobody needs anyones anger issues put on them , don't go here unless you want ur day ruined read more

Clean, good parking, friendly staff. I thought I could sit there and read a magazine so I bought a lemon cake and sat to read when the music suddenly started blasting a slow rap song. I thought I could ignore it but when the bass kicked in I just had to get up and leave. I mean damn it's a Sunday morning at 0930 why does the music need to be THAT loud? I regretted buying the lemon cake cause I only got it to enjoy while I was reading. Really the music was that loud! read more

The manager informed me they have been open 2 years now and I did their first review. My second review is just as good if not better. Friendly staff fast and very personable. Best black rock I have ever been through! Go by there to get great coffee and great service!! read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - two cups of iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I used to work for a different Black Rock location for years. Now that I am a customer, this is by far one of my fave locations! All the girls are super sweet, chill, authentic, and hustle their butts off to deliver speedy service. I have never been "a regular" anywhere before but now I am . Cheers! read more

Fast service, friendly employees and great coffee. I appreciate the convenient location and I stop here often.

I would select 0 if it was an option! This location has twice before given me a wrong coffee drink but I figured it happens. But this time, I asked for sweet cream foam on my hot latte and she said she can't do that because it's only for iced drinks. I said, but you guys have done that before. She said she can't because it will melt! I said it hadn't before. Then she said she can give me a flavor but not sweet cream foam! I pulled up to the window and asked her nicely again and told her I would pay for it. She said it's against company policy!! And that she had no way to charge me for it!!! That is ridiculous!!!! I then said just forget my order and one of the 4 teenagers looking at me said loudly..."OK" with a smirk on her face! I can't believe they treat customers like this!!!! I drove across the street to Starbucks and they prepared a latte for me with sweet cream foam and it's delicious!!! I will never go back to Black Rock again and I will tell everyone not to go there!!! Terrible business! read more
