Four stars because I stopped in for national coffee day. Sure, it's a made up day, but I thought more coffee shops would be celebrating. Indeed, I was told that they were giving away free stickers. No discounts or specialty drinks for the day. I ordered my usual hot Mexican mocha, but added some raspberry flavoring this time. It was absolutely delicious, of course! I was bummed though because they forgot to give me my sticker! Hopefully I can get it next time I stop in. Kudos to the cashier for upsell me on some food. I had a ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was amazing. Absolutely flaky with some kind of seeds on top and very buttery. There was an ample amount of ham and cheese inside. I will definitely eat this again. It wasn't too busy for a mid Monday morning. I was actually the only person in line, and that never happens. Service was friendly and quick, as usual. read more

Apple shaken espresso genuinely tasted like grape cough medicine; I couldn't finish it. So, after trading my drink with my mom's matcha, I also got to try their matcha instead, which was equally as terrible. Their matcha is a powder "latte" mix -- grainy, overly sweet, but bland matcha taste. Not an actual matcha powder. The color was between a brown and a green. We figured maybe the matcha just needed extra mix, so we asked for more, the girl says she's gonna have to up-charge us for that. Okay...most coffee places don't do that, but we understood and didn't fight her on it. Got it back expecting it to be better but nope lol just tasted equally as bad with an extra dollar spent on a scoop of grainy latte sugar mix at the bottom. Didn't finish either drink. Won't be back.. read more

Extremely rude barista's... went on wed july 22nd at 1pm and there was two blonde girls working and they were both so rude and talking to customers like they were dumb, their tone was very condescending and like their poop didn't stink... I couldn't believe it. Definitely won't be going back to this location again The crew needs to be re trained in customer service and JUST BE KIND it's not hard.... read more

I love the black rock coffee chain in general but I really enjoy the service at this location specifically. Every barista is very kind and makes any order quickly and with quality in mind. All of my drinks have tasted correct/same standard throughout the years. The drive thru line isn't ideal at this specific location just because the parking lot is so small, but the line does move quickly! read more

Blackrock is my go to coffee spot! I've been coming here for years and I have seen them grow from there having just their small spot in Oceanside. The progress has deffinitly been great to see. The only downside of this location is the parking lot is compact/cluttered and it makes the flow of the drive thru difficult. read more

Love this place. So happy they've opened another location because they're always slammed. But the workers kill it with smiles on their faces

Love love love black rock!!! It's the perfect amount to keep me up all night lol!! I love the fact that they carry XL most small coffee shops around town only have 12 OZ hot coffee, but BlackROCK - rocks so much they know better than to only cater to the small crowd of 12 OZ drinkers lol! Give me COFFEE in the largest size you have please!! read more

I love the folks at this location! I have tried every location, but Escondido, and this one is by far my favorite! The parking lot kinda sucks, but everything else about this location is amazing! The folks working are always super kind and go above and beyond with their customer service. I absolutely adore them and have loved adding this to my work routine! Not to mention the coffee is SO delicious. I am very picky, and every single time I get coffee here, my coffee is perfect and so delicious. I always get the hot Mexican Mocha with protein-boosted milk. But I have tried their hot chocolate, and it is soooo good. I personally didn't like the Iced Sunrise Fuel, but the coffee is to die for. Thank you, Townsite Black Rock! read more

Today was the grand opening of the Black rock Coffee bar on S. Santa Fe in Vista and they are giving free coffee until 7pm! I went early to check it out and the cafe is very big it's nice to be able to sit and enjoy your coffee inside with many tables and it was very spacious! The drive through was extremely long but I just parked across the street and went inside it was about a 10min wait not bad at all, I got a Mexican mocha and it came out very hot and tasty! The only other drink I've had is the Irish coffee iced which is also very good so I'll definitely come back to try other items on the menu! read more

I've been going to Black rock since 2019 and I've never had an issue like this. So I order a extra large hot Irish coffee from the Black rock in Vista for my wife. I take it home and give it to her and she immediately makes a face because there's no sweetener inside of it so I go back to the other black rock because it's closer to my house on Santa Fe Way, Road in Vista. I explained to the barista the issue at the previous black rock. I went to and she says no problem will remake it for you. She asked me what was it and I tell her the drink when the drink is made I informed her that it's the right drink, but it's the wrong size. I ordered an extra large and she gave me a large. She tells me well you told me it was a large and smiles and laughs. That might've been the case but regardless having a waste 45 minutes on my day on the weekend when I'm on my way to SeaWorld to get a drink corrected that this business got wrong isn't a laughing matter. Someone should train the barista that it isn't cool to make fun of a customer who's already in a bad situation because of another barista at your organization. The lack of customer service really is an issue. You guys have a great business and product especially in the Oceanside location. Please do better so that this doesn't affect your bottom line and the good name of the company. BTW - Your baristas are usually very nice and attentive...this was a very unusual and strange experience. read more

I asked for very very light ice and these two teenage girls decided to just fill my cup up with ice keep in mind. This is like a seven dollar drink. I'm literally paying seven dollars for ice at this point and the girls looked really at me really rudely. Didn't say much to me. Seemed annoyed that I was even there. It was just too basic blonde girls with acrylics one girl had French tip. They were both wearing blue jeans and black crop tops. I'm so irritated because I wanted to drink that could actually last me but no, they wanted to fill up my entire cup with ice. Places that use ice to fill up cups just to save money on drinks our places that I do not want to go back to they should care about the customer experience and this is not a good experience. This drink is gonna be gone in literally three sips. read more

Favorite coffee! Everyone is so kind! The line is always faster than I expected! They always remember me and my order.

So I would start off with the atmosphere is always positive every time I come by. The crew is polite and patient which is hard to be sometimes with hour busy mornings and evening can be. I haven't tried any of their other options yet except a couple of the Ice coffee's and the Fuel energy drink mixes are pretty damn good which is my top tier thing for this place. Thanks for `Fueling ' my evening. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Sour Gummy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

First time I went got an iced Mexican mocha to play it safe and it was okay. Lacked the Mexican chocolate flavor but it wasn't the worst one I've tried. Second time I went I asked for an Iced Matcha, and omg it was just how like it!! Sadly I guess it was only because of a specific barista that made it because as I came back another time it was really milked down. The place is super inconsistent which I dislike. One thing I can say is that their blue lagoon no matter if you choose original, organic, or sugar free option; it tastes amazing! This drink itself makes this place worth it in my opinion. read more

I got stung by a bee in my mouth when I drank it..... They have bee's everywhere when you order. Not really their fault. Been coming here for years now. The coffee is absolutely delicious, so I will still come here, but I will now be taking the lid off to check for bees IN my drink. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Spit this back out. Pricked my tongue on the stinger. Dont think I got much venom. Just a little bit stingy and then numb. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

this location is just a few minutes away from my house and I always try and give it a shot but everytime I do, I get let down. Their MATCHA , the worst, taste just like pure milk, no color, not pleasant at all. Second, their basic simple HOT AMERICANO, plain, no flavor... honestly taste like water down coffee, same with the LATTE. read more

I don't know why I keep going back, maybe because the coffee is good? The service is atrocious every time I go, but this last time was the last straw. First of all the parking was a disaster, there was no spots. I ordered ahead and was given a five minute window for pick up. I went and waited in line and there were five people ordering ahead of me, but I didn't mind waiting. I can be patient. However, when it was my turn to pick up my order, all of the baristas disappeared or ignored me, and I ended up waiting 25 minutes for my drink. When I voiced my concerns, the barista snapped at me and said there was an entire line of people as if I hadn't just waited 20 minutes in line for my turn to pick up my drink. The attitude and wait time just makes me choose Starbucks or better buzz, less hassle and headache. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Iced "Matcha" oat latte with raspberry syrup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vista, California

I went into this location earlier today. It was the very first time I've ever been, and I had noticed that there was a storm of bees in the inside of the coffee restaurant. I did mention something to the worker and she said there's really nothing they can do about it . there was so many they were like flying out of the window Kind of felt unsafe to drink the drink due to that so I ended up just throwing the drink . I also felt that it was unsafe as a customer who's walking out to the environment would be coming out like that. I know that they probably have a lot better reputation. I don't know if today was just a bad day, but I feel unsafe with this the amount of bees. The staff member was OK. She wasn't rude, but I did feel that they just was like a level of normalcy for her or maybe she had to appear that way when it was mentioned I know that there was a while where it was standing far behind because the bees were so so close read more

They used to be a solid spot, but lately the quality has dropped. It feels like the newer staff aren't being trained well--coffee isn't consistent and items are sometimes missing. I hope management addresses this so the place can get back to its old standards read more

I was so excited to use Black Rock's new mobile app to order my drink ahead of time. The line at this location is always very long (at least 20 mins) Upon arriving, the line at the walk up window was 5 people deep. As I waited, I noticed that no staff were acknowledging the customers waiting. There were customers that had pre-ordered standing in the same line as customers ordering. none of the staff asked if anyone was there to pick up. I waited 15 mins to reach the front (after being cut off by two teens that butted their way to the front and demanded their order, and were helped before me!) Upon asking for my order, the staff couldn't find it, then finally did after another few mins. Unorganized, unhelpful, mismanaged. This location needs training! read more
