This place was recommended by a coworker and it did not disappoint. The overall look was very modern and a nice change from what you see around Clovis. The staff were very friendly and the service was fast. The coffee itself was awesome I got a sweet cream cold brew and it was one of the best I've ever had. A little pricey but worth it for a good, fresh cup of coffee! Will absolutely return and recommend to coffee lovers! read more

Had a couple of hours before work so decided to stop by to get some school work done. The people were very welcoming and the place its self was comfortable and inviting. There is lots of room and for a Wednesday, it wasn't busy at all. Lots of seating options. I got some beans which were decently priced and tasted SO good on my home espresso machine after! My latte was really good I would definitely get it again and I'm glad they could do "for here" cups! My breakfast sandwich was ok... they use fake eggs, didn't taste bad, I just don't personally like them. Overall, great little gem in Clovis! read more

Normally the service here is excellent. This time around a cold bagel later not even a friendly smile made me rate this place a 3. Still a good place for coffee and a nice sitting area. However, I'll keep my options open the next time I look for coffee and a bagel. read more

Wonderful coffee and fantastic atmosphere. I will come back here when I'm in the area. The baristas were super friendly.

Vanilla Bean Latte is phenomenal! Service and ambiance is amazing. Def one of my fav coffee shops !!

The Avocado Spread on the Everything Bagel with Blackwater's Everything Seasoning was so delicious that I am already craving another one. I got the Piñon Roast Coffee in a Red Eye with a splash of Oat Milk and it was extremely smooth. Their coffee is not acidic tasting like other coffee shops in town. They also sell Rishi brand Loose Leaf Tea, Whole Coffee Beans from their roasters in Albuquerque and everything that you need to brew both tea and coffee. The seating area is very open and airy with many seating options to choose from. They also have some outdoor seating in front of the store. You get a very down to earth feeling while sitting and drinking coffee. The fact that they make every effort to source as much of their ingredients locally as possible makes me feel good about eating and drinking coffee there. They even use receipt paper from a company that puts proceeds toward planting trees around the world.The Baristas are very friendly and full of energy. You can tell that they really enjoy working there. This is going to be the only Cafe that I go to in Clovis from now on. read more

The only place in Clovis to get desert coffee and thankfully, Blackwater makes very good drip coffee and lattés. The staff are always friendly. Good place to swing in for good coffee on the way to Santa Fe from Texas. read more

Great place! Wanted to find a great coffee place with some breakfast. They had some bagels, croissants, & a potato soup! We ended up ordering a hot vanilla latte, a mocha, & potato soups, & shared a croissant. The potato soup was a large and it was definitely filling. It was delicious! Just what we needed on a cold winter day, when it snowed that morning! The coffee was delicious, the potato soup was delicious. There was also a drive-thru for those who wanted to know. We actually stopped in for coffee & it looked super nice & hipster-dish which is my type of place! Modern chic style! Check this place out! Plenty of parking. It is a shared space with a pharmacy I believe? read more

Blackwater Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

Who would have known that you'd be able to find a hipster and very aesthetically pleasing coffee shop in Clovis? Blackwater Coffee is eerily reminiscent of the trendy coffee shops all around LA. From the scripted logo, modern landscape, and comfy interior - Blackwater is a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts and foodies alike. Blackwater shares the overall building space with Roden-Smith Pharmacy, with one of the walls opening into the pharmacy. There's a section that contains stationery, trinkets, etc. and a refrigerated section that holds various drinks, yogurts, etc. The menu is fairly simple - drinks for a relatively cheap price (coffee, non-coffee items) and breakfast/lunch items. I ended up spending several hours at Blackwater, so I was quite thankful that they had clean restrooms, Wi-Fi, comfortable study spaces, and outlets around the coffee shop. I ordered a simple hot latte while I worked on several things. Price for the 16 oz. was $3.50, which is super affordable and worth the money. I was kind of expecting there to be latte art on my cup (after seeing the photos), but was disappointed that my cup had no design. I did like the cup and coffee sleeve though. The latte was smooth and had good flavor. It was not too sweet, and I liked that it wasn't too frothy with foam. I ended up nursing that latte for several hours, and it helped keep me awake. I also was able to try some of their lunch items. The lunch melts are "sandwiches" served on half/whole bagels or croissants - all items are fairly simple, but the price is a little expensive for what you're getting. I ordered the micah's melt whole sandwich on the jalapeno cheddar bagel for $9 and paid an additional $1 or so for a bag of kettle chips. I opted out of the green chile mayo and had the mustard instead (at the recommendation of one of the workers), which I thought was a good idea. The sandwich is served open-faced, but you can combine the two halves to make a whole. I thought the item was pretty good - taste was on-point and flavorful (how can you go wrong with bacon, ham and pepper jack?) and the sandwich was pretty filling. I just thought the price point was a bit too high. I also got a half blackwater blt for $4.50 on an everything bagel. I think I got the bottom of the bagel, which is never as tasty as the top, but with the bacon, lettuce, tomato, provolone, and mustard (opted out of the green chile again), I liked the overall combination. I definitely liked the blt more than the melt, just because the lettuce gave it a healthier and fresher taste. The other sides were quite pricey, so I ended up going without. My friend agreed that prices for the food items were a bit too high, but he liked the sandwich enough. They also have organic teas and tea lattes, which sounded super interesting. I've seen pictures of waffles on their Yelp page as well, but I didn't see that on the menu. Workers are nice and quick to ring up orders. I sat there for several hours and saw a good number of people come in and out. A lot of customers come and sit for awhile, chatting with friends before leaving. The sofas and comfy seating area definitely allows for friendly gatherings. tl;dr - Great coffee shop addition to Clovis. If I lived in this area, I think I would frequent Blackwater often - much better than Starbucks, and it always feels nice to help out local businesses. I'd recommend stopping by for a bite to eat and some coffee! read more

LOVELY shop unique to Clovis-- delicious locally brewed coffee, super sweet staff. Yummy baked treats. Stopped in on a road trip from Texas to NM and will definitely return whenever we are in the area again! Thank you! read more

Cute little coffee shop with a great aesthetic. Customer service and coffee far superior to Starbucks!

Wow! If you want great coffee this is the place! We were visiting from the DFW area and stopped in what a hidden jewel for us. The latte was off the charts "GREAT." Can't wait to come back! read more

I adore the ambiance of this place! It offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes it the perfect spot for both work and relaxation. What sets it apart is not just the warm environment, but also the range of coffee choices and food options available. And when it comes to food, their menu never disappoints. From scrumptious pastries to hearty sandwiches, there's always a delightful treat to accompany my coffee. This local gem has truly become my go-to place whenever I want to find a peaceful corner to work or simply grab a quick bite and be on my way. My go to is the Matcha with Lavender( it is a sweet one). read more

Gotta say, I was thoroughly impressed by Blackwater Coffee! My coffee (picture attached) was an vanilla iced latte, and I'd go as far to say it was better than any other coffee joint in town! The environment was modern and cozy. We met up with some friends and had a dashing time! I'll definitely be going back! read more

Great service. I absolutely love their chai and the cups are so darn cute. The food was terrible the first time I came here ( bagel with some kind of egg but the jalapeño was just overpowering so I'm thinking that was a fluke) Second time around I got a croissant and Nutella ( hard to mess anything up with Nutella). read more

Terrible service from the word go. The fence was non-functional at installation given there were gaps so large that my Dutch Shepherd could effortlessly crawl under. If my dog can get out then it stands to reason other animals can get in. My request to have the fence lowered was met with much resistance but eventually they complied with my reques (at least partially). Two weeks later when tested by a short thunderstorm an entire section of the fence fell apart, and other sections hung on by a thread. The company won't tend to their terribly constructed fence because the "damage" was weather related. The fact that the fence is poorly constructed and unable to survive one small storm is just an opportunity for Big Sun to make money on repairs. I do not recommend them at all. Do better Big Sun Fencing. read more

Disappointing. One of those coffee place where the flavoring and syrup overpowers the coffee. Which isn't smooth or quality to begin with. Ambiance is off as well due to it being directly connected to a pharmacy with an open doorway between the two. After trying and disliking three different types of overpriced coffee, decided to give up. read more

Edit - I really appreciate the owner reaching out to make it right! That's great business! Bumped up a star! Thanks, Maggie! The ambiance makes up for what it's lacking in service and quality. You might want to employ "morning people" to work a morning shift. When I came here on a Thursday morning, I felt like I was a minor inconvenience to the two ladies working, no warm welcoming morning greeting. Not a great first impression, Blackwater. After receiving my dirty chai latte, I roamed around scoping out the scene and was impressed by the cozy ambiance. However, I was quickly let down with the experience while sipping on my Dirty Chai Latte. The chai spices were lackluster, the foam was nearly non-existent - I've had better fast food lattes. On the upside, there is ample outdoor seating, cozy indoor seating, an app to place an order, and designated mobile app ordering. Hours 7am - 6 pm. read more

Blackwater Coffee - Avacado Toast. Latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

If you ever sailed the seven seas and saw a pipe labeled blackwater you would immediately stay away. But this blackwater is named after a stream known for carrying tons of prehistoric artifacts. Blackwater coffee is easily the newest, jivest, coolest, non prehistoric building in Clovis, serving up a cup of joe and all the fixings and is sure to bring you in. This place sticks out like a sore thumb, but in a good way. From the outside you know this place is gonna be different from the Clovis norm. This place breaks the mold for what will hopefully be a rejuvenation to the Clovis business scene. Ambience wise this place is modern, lots of cold steel and industrial furniture. This isn't a Starbucks but you can definitely get the study vibes going on. Take one step inside and you'll feel like your in one of the major city coffee shops... just a 2 hour drive away ;) This place serves up pastries, coffee and tea. I got the latte with no added fixings. Getting it to go, it had a decent head of milk foam and the coffee was smooth. This isn't the strongest coffee, so if your expecting something robust you might need to grab some extra shots. I like coffee that grabs you and screams coffee. This can be a pro or a con really. Some like a more subtle approach and some will think this cup of joe needs some punch. As far as pastries they look like they are made in house. They have that artisan​al look to them with the chic brown parchment paper. Overall this place was a pleasant surprise. This place uplifts Clovis and brings it to the 21st century. There are definitely some stronger cups in town but they don't have the style and design like this place. Ambience is it's strongest trait and the Java ain't bad. Come swing by and you can take all the Instagram pictures you want with succulents of all kinds. This place has big city looks, with some small town vibe. You can trick all your IG followers with this IG worthy, snap happy decor it'll turn your day into a brew- tiful day. read more

Very nice place. Great atmosphere, cool furniture. Staff was friendly, and an error on one of the drinks we ordered was promptly fixed with no issues. Coffee was good. I had a white chocolate mocha and it had great flavor. A bit on the sweeter side, but you could still taste the espresso. Others in our party had a chai latte, dark chocolate mocha, and hot chocolate. Everyone was pleased with their selections. Only thing some might not like is that it is attached to a pharmacy. Hard to tell what it would be like if the pharmacy was busy. May not be an issue at all. Might get noisy, as the floors are all hard surfaces. Prices were a little high, but not crazy high. They have a good location, so they should do well. Worth checking out, for sure! read more

Prices are a little high, but the coffee is delicious. They also are regularly adding new items to the menu and hosting events.

Needed a coffee and some WiFi while on the road for work. Found this spot on Yelp. Nice atmosphere great WiFi that seem to fly. Had the dirty chi it was great and a bagel with green chili spread. Everything was very good and the staff were all friendly. I will call this my Clovis Office when I am in town. read more

Excellent white chocolate mocha, and an excellent chai tea. Glad we stopped in for something to drink.

A hidden gem in Clovis! Blackwater has the perfect coffee shop ambiance - I love to bring my laptop and work and it's also my go to spot for catching up with friends or networking. I have sampled all the options on their seasonal fall menu, as well as most of their traditional menu, and have never had a drink I didn't like. As a bonus, their salads are great and the s'mores cookie is to die for! read more

I'm updating my review of Blackwater to 5-stars! So they don't have single-origin coffees to order and have brewed on an AeroPress. So what! Maybe that's too much to ask for in Clovis, NM. I'll make those at home for myself. What's remained awesome is Blackwater's consistency and awesome staff. This is the most comfortable cafe in town to sit down and get some work done while sipping on a unique drink. Try the matcha latte, hot or cold. Ask the baristas about drinks that are not on the menu, I've heard there are some secret gems! Simple food menu that offers some healthy and tasty bites for breakfast or lunch. My kid swears they have the best mac and cheese in town. read more

Best coffee shop in Clovis. We love supporting locally owned coffee and this place knocks it out of the park. Great homemade syrups, friendly customer service, and modern decor. Can't wait till COVID restrictions lift and they can do some of the events that have done in the past. read more

On my first visit to Clovis Blackwater Coffee was on the top of my list of places to visit. Trying out a new coffee shop can be a little scary. You never know if their coffee will be good enough to make you feel alive enough to get through your day, or frankly at this point in the world, even try to get through your day. Blackwater was solid. Their iced latte gave me enough passion and zest for life to demolition part of a kitchen. Folks, it gets better though, their pastries are ridiculously good. Their coffee cake has this like wonderful moist cinnamony ribbon in it and their pistachio muffin made me want to cry. 10/10 worth trying. read more

The Micah Melt came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Nice combo of jalapeño bagel and Green chili. Chai seemed to be a house blend and has a nice bit of masala to it. Baristas were distracted but pleasant enough. I liked the variety of seating... Tables, stools, benches, couches, and different chairs. read more

Little slice of heaven for anyone who gravitates to coffee shops wherever they go.

What a nice little detour! Excellent coffee, well run, and extremely clean. Perfectly managed for the pandy don't have a mask, don't try to go inside, but the have curbside delivery, and we observed quick as a flash service. Enjoy! read more

Let me start by saying, I haven't had their coffee brewed by Blackwater themselves but I did purchase both of their whole bean options. I've had a coffee subscription for years now, in which I get high end coffee beans that have been roasted all around the world. When I made an espresso from Blackwater Coffee Co.'s "Black Magic" blend, I was thoroughly impressed. I would be highly satisfied with this coffee if it came out of Seattle or Portland, but the fact that I found it here in Clovis is mind blowing. Keep up the great work! read more

Visiting from out of town. Stopped in for lunch with family. Delicious turkey avocado melt! Nice atmosphere. Would visit again.

Great coffee and service. Delicious and unique recipes. Stopped on the way through to Utah and it was a great way to start the day!

Marginally better than Starbucks. They only appeared to have 2 coffees - Red Rock Roasters' Black Magic blendand a piñón coffee. I'm not sure where the piñón is from since I haven't seen it at Red Rock or on their website. They sell the Black Magic for $10.50 for a 1/2 lb bag; on Red Rock's website, 1 lb is $12.25 - so the price is inflated almost double. The bag did not display a roasting date; instead it had a "packing" date about a month ago. For the price, I'd expect a roasting date within about two weeks and a single origin - as you could get from any number of online retailers or subscription services. I got a pour over of the Black Magic. It was good, nothing to write home about. I make Black Magic at home all the time, with generally better results. But that's also because I've dialed it in to my preferences. For merch, they had some knock-off Bodum Chemexes. The board called it a Chemex but it wasn't. read more
