    Best iced coffee I've had in a long time! It was so delicious. Must try the Salted Honey butter. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was just as good as the coffee. The inside of the cafe has a really cute bee theme! It's so pretty. Loved everything.

    Right when you enter this bee-themed restaurant, you know you are in for a treat. The walls, ceiling, tables, light fixtures, and even the tiles in the bathroom are bee themed or honeycomb shaped. It really sets the mood. We were advised to seat ourselves and once we had a menu, we were to go to the counter to order and pay or order through their app. I do and don't like this approach. For brunch, it was totally fine. I ordered the Salted Honey Butter Latte, Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes, and the Honey Bacon. The latte is served with some crunchy bits on the top of the foam. I'm not a fan of chunks in my coffee so I didn't love that addition but I got past it and enjoyed the honey flavor of the latte. The pancakes were beautifully presented, with the swirl of cinnamon facing up. They were crispy on the exterior and soft on the inside. Exactly how I like my pancakes. You could taste the cinnamon without it being overbearing. The bacon was absolutely delicious - chef's kiss! We really enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere in the restaurant - we'll be back to try other options!

    Great service, good peoples!! Espresso is goooood!! Nice options on the menu, nice open comfortable seating. Booths are super comfy. I had the bacon wrapped filet. Filet was a bit tough even when ordered medium. I recommend the crispy potatoes over the melody. I ordered medium eggs but they came out well. I usually order medium cuz if not you got runny white stuff. I also had the texas toast, I would prefer a sourdough or wheat option. I'll def return to try out the other menu options and possibly try the lunch. After the meal, I felt good, like I just had a well made meal with high quality ingredients. Super good to feel that when eating out in today's world.

    Kind of a weird setup. You sit down, they tell you, you can order from the QR Code or come up to the counter to order. We ordered at the counter. What we ordered: 2 lattes - I can't remember which ones, but they were just ok Cinnamon Swirl pancakes - bf said they were good. He liked it Chicken & Waffles - I didn't like it. Chicken was a little dry. Waffles didn't seem freshly made. More like premade and put on the grill to warm up. We did have a couple of people ask us multiple times if we were doing ok. The honeycomb ceiling was cool.

    First time here. I likely saw this place but didn't really pay attention ti it until I saw the reviews I will be back soon. Food was amazing. Especially the beacon with honey

    Food was ok tasted like everything came from Costco. We had the chicken and waffles, pulled pork Benedict and waffle breakfast. Service was a little weird seems to be a trend where you order from your phone at the table and they just bring out your food and the. You pay from your phone so it lacks some sort of personal connection. Wife had a salted honey matcha latte which was actually pretty good. But what is on point is the decor and ambiance, this place is super cool and trendy we can see why it's all over socials.

    Ambiance is an A+. The music and the decor is tasteful and well done and its a relaxing environment. The QR code ordering simplifies the process, and in addition the owner and multiple servers checked in on us throughout the meal. Food was delicious and prepared quickly.

    Wife surprised me with this place and it was aestheticly pleasing so I was on the fence if it would be good. That changed when my coffee came i ordered the banana brulee iced it was the perfect sweetness and bitterness both me and my wife enjoyed it and our coffee pallets are on the opposite sides of the spectrum. I ordered the banana bread brulee French toast and my wife got the short rib Benedict both were amazing. The French toast was great they didn't need anything extra on them they were rich with banana flavor a great sweetness and the bananas had a crunch and crackle that texture difference was great I ordered an additional side of sausages and I don't know if the French toast made them taste better but they were nice and salty contrast. The short rib Benny was tender and flavorful the potatoes were crispy and fluffy and if that don't take the cake we were gifted a cinnamon roll I had two bites because I didn't want to explode I had the "itis" and was lucky to make it out of there I will be back and suggest you go.

    Ok, will start with the food we ordered and shared the Banana Bread French toast. It was delicious but very much like a dessert. The slices were thick and the brown sugar crumbled on top makes it extremely sweet. It will fill you up. Now on to service. It took a bit for waiter to come to our table as you can order a pay for your food through an app. Not made obvious to first timers I would suggest they have a sign on the tables. Oh and our side of sausage and bacon came out before the food. The restaurant is lovely, beautiful decor. The honeycomb ceiling is perfect . The bee Tv is an add charm. The prices are reasonable as well. Oh one other suggestion arrive early as the line and wait can get long on weekends. We arrived at 9 and were seated promptly.

    Adorable honeycomb bee setting. The food was delicious. I was happy to know that they serve gluten free pancakes that are tasty and not crumbled. The coffee was strong just how I like it. The staff were sweet and attentive. Parking can be challenging, but worth stopping by.

    Was met at the door quickly and offered a seat. It's qt code ordering. Sierra was super sweet to me and my pup. Got the short rib Benedict. One of my favs. Lots of hollandaise sauce. Eggs poached perfectly. The croissant was grilled perfectly. Now let's talk about those potatoes.... I'm not big on potatoes but these are everything. Crisp, flavorful, extra decadent. Good sized portions Cute decor I wish they had more food or beverages that are honey inspired. No liquor. I had no wait at 1030 on a Wednesday. Street parking.

    Breakfast menu

    The restaurant itself was really cute. For like a date or maybe a girl's brunch. I didn't really like that you order through a QR code. I guess I'm more old school where I would've wanted the waiter/server to give me some guidance or recommendations. My friend and I ordered the breakfast sandwich and the chicken and waffles. The sandwich was yummy,I asked for everything on the side so I can apply as much avocado and honey bee sauce as I wanted to my sandwich. I wasn't a fan of the potatoes, as I felt they didn't go with a breakfast sandwich, since they were fried and seasoned, they would go better with a burger or non breakfast food (my opinion). The waffle was my favorite part of everything we ate, it's a thicker construct and they drizzle honey on top. The waffle itself is already sweet so you really don't need syrup and the berries that came with it paired perfectly! The chicken, was a bit chewy, didn't really care for the seasoning. I would go back for the ambiance and maybe to try other things from the menu.

    Inside the restaurant

    Talk about and instagram worthy spot for brunch! The ambiance is fabulous. Lots of detail went into this brunch spot. It is all about honey and bees just like the name. The ceiling is shaped like honeycomb, light fixtures are shaped like beehives and there is even a gnome garden with bee gnomes. Service was good, but you have to order with a QR code. I think that takes away from the personalization of a sit down meal. It is different if we order at a counter or are given a choice. There was no choice in how to order. We were on the patio which had a very relaxing vibe. Lots of fake trees and flowers surrounded us. So not much for bees to actually pollinate. The food was good. I feel like I need to go back and try more options. We ordered the waffles, banana bread slice, and a kids spaghetti. The red sauce on the pasta was a creamy red sauce. That was surprising. The lemon ginger tea was tasty with the stick of honey it came with. The gold bee on the lid of the cup was a nice finishing touch. I would come back to try more items. See if the place holds up on repeat visits.

Tip: you must enter on the side street Ok now that is out of the way let's get to it I have to say the best past was the staff. Thaddeus was AMAZING. I asked what I should get. He recommended a Red Bull drink. I do t do caffeine so then he recommended the blackout. I got it iced and decaf. It is hazelnut and mocha. And I have to say it is one of the best things that I've had in a long time. I also got a blueberry muffin on his recommendation, and it was light and moist. So let's go back to Thaddeus.

It's much easier to access while going eastbound on Garnet Ave. The drive thru setup remained intact with the vehicle pathway bisecting the middle of the building. Several on-site parking spaces were available if you wanted to walk up to the service window to order like I did. Four round tables with canopy cover were arranged next to the window. Coffee and espresso were not the only beverages on the menu. Chillers, fizzes, smoothies, shakes, smoothies, and teas were the other offerings. All-day savory and sweet breakfast items were the food categories. I selected a medium Sweet Tea with mango flavor and a Chorizo Breakfast Sandwich for my order. The tea was fairly sweet while the mango addition was mild. The sandwich was basically a Sausage Egg McMuffin but with a chorizo patty instead. It was heated up and then wrapped in foil. The product was fairly unremarkable. If you used the drive thru, then the U-shaped driveway made sense. However, if you parked in a space, then getting off the property was a challenge because of the marked arrows on the pavement. Merging with the oncoming traffic on Garnet Ave was tricky too. I gave a three star rating for my experience at Black Rock Coffee Bar.
