I would much rather come here again than visit one of the two Starbucks locations in town. Everything about this place works for me. The atmosphere of this spot, the friendly customer service and the quality of the drinks. I went last week when I met up with a friend and I went with the peanut butter mocha drink. It really did have a good peanut butter flavor to it as well as still tasting like a coffee drink too. Black Oak Coffee is the place to go to in Ukiah when you are wanting to meet up with somebody and grab a coffee. I will definitely be back the next time I visit my hometown. read more

I make it a goal to try many coffee roasteries as I travel. Having never been to Ukiah before, I found myself pleasantly surprised! This place is spacious inside, decorated in a modern and slightly antiquated manner (i.e. hipster AF). It's really perfect for studying, especially with the free and fast wifi. Although I usually prefer a black coffee, but I always order an unsweetened latte my first time at a specific coffee shop. -Milk: Steamed to perfection. The temperature was perfect - didn't even have to wait for it to cool. Furthermore, it was steamed to have microfoam, so I got a little bit of airy, sweet, milky delight with each mouthful. -Espresso/Coffee: Delicious. The coffee was fragrant, ever so slightly tart but not sour. It was also bold enough so as to not be overcome by milk. Exactly how I like my lattes. -Presentation: This is just the shallow, but the latte was beautiful with little leaves made in the foam. -Price: Probably the most affordable yet highest quality latte I've had anywhere. Even cheaper than Starbucks. I wish I had gone back for seconds prior to leaving Ukiah! read more

This place is pretty good, their drinks and food are pretty good. My personal go to is the lavender latte. The hot or iced lavender latte is so good and it's apparently the fan favorite there. Pre-covid, the atmosphere was super cute and welcoming. My last experience was a bit disappointing as the iced lavender latte had a weird flavor to it. So that's the only reason why this place didn't receive 5 stars on my part though it probably does deserve it. Now, it's a take out only with outdoor seating. Everyone is adhering to the social distance protocols and masks are enforced. read more

Literally the best coffee I ever had in my entire life. I was blessed by the chai latte which was so creamy and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I crave this every day and Starbucks nor Philz coffee can compare read more

My favorite local place to sneak away and hang out. Why don't all coffee shops have big comfy sofas? The coffee is always amazing, the staff are awesome and the vibe is good. read more

OMG THE COFFEE HERE IS INCREDIBLE! I was in Ukiah on vacation and came back to Black Oak every day just so I could try everything I wanted on their menu. Since coming home I have ordered their Redd Summer beans (3 bags!) and they are delicious! I will be ordering more beans AND be visiting the next time we're camping up here! read more

This is an upscale coffee shop. If you want to get away from the Starbucks and go for a finer cup of Joe, this is the place for you. The staff there are super nice and friendly making the experience a great one every time I go there. read more

I absolutely love Black Oak and am so grateful to have them here in inland Mendocino county. Somewhere I can always come and count on great coffee, delicious baked goods and breakfast items, as well as friendly service and reliable wifi. My personal favorites are their mushroom and spinach breakfast sandwich on an english muffin and their sweet scones, especially the raspberry. I think that they have been tweaking their recipes and truly, this scone is one of the best I've ever had. If you're looking for a real treat try their lavender latte or the 'lover's lane' latte using local honey topped with a bit of bee pollen- I love them iced. I have always loved the atmosphere here- a place where people come to gather or to get work done.. Looking forward to their interior space opening up again once it is safe to do so, but for now I have been grateful for all they've done to keep their cafe open to guests outside- they have propane heating lamps and have added some additional tables with pop ups over them for rain and shade. If you're used to big city style coffee and cafe atmospheres, this is the place. They do a great job and again, I'm so glad for their existence! Thanks y'all read more

My sisters and I came to sit outside with our dog who was on a leash. We asked for a cup for water for the dog and we were rudely treated. The MGR states dogs aren't allowed. There is no sign regarding dogs outside. Not only did the manager responded rudely, she and the barista continued to roll their eyes. Rude rude rude! read more

Nothing worse than walking in to a coffee shop and having the barista and then the manager respond to you rudely when we asked for something to put water in for our dog as we were sitting outside. There is no signage saying no dogs outside. Only one sign at the main door saying 'no dogs allowed'. Pretty vague when there is outside seating. As a retail business owner, there is no excuse for this behavior. Bad vibes! read more

Exceptional coffee, lovely staff, modern/chill cafe vibes, lots of seating both indoors and outdoors. Phenomenal coffee takes time, and there can be a bit of a wait for pour-over coffee or espresso drinks, but it's so worth it! If you're in a rush, they keep a pot of fresh-brewed drip coffee on hand that'll dazzle your tastebuds and satisfy a need for caffeine. They also serve a small selection of pastries and you can their coffee beans to brew your own at home! read more

Best coffee in town! We love a friendly environment and Black Oak definitely provides that. Plus, the avo toast is

Best coffee around. Excellent place to sit with a friend and the online ordering is fast and always accurate. Great customer service. Yet to try a drink I don't like. read more

Fast service and their online ordering is so easy. The dark chocolate cocoa is not as sweet as you would expect. Love their lattes and we visit every time we are in ukiah. read more

This was our lunch stop on our road trip to Fort Bragg. I ordered the salted peanut butter mocha and the favor was light but still delicious. I also got the chicken pesto sandwich and broccoli quiche. Both were just what I needed. Large selection of drinks and food. Tons of tables and good size parking lot . Would highly recommend read more

Nice coffeehouse with award winning coffees (Numerous awards proudly displayed). Cappuccinos were very good with a very berry forward flavor on the day we stopped in. Parking was a challenge due to the large number of people just hanging out enjoying the space. read more

Update. Parking is really bad. There is no parking on State Street that is safe due to construction. Also I am disabled so the owners suggestion that I park further away and walk is kind of a slap in the face. read more

Wow what a coffee shop! Lots of variety and great interior design and decor. Cute place in Ukiah!

Love love love their Mushroom coffees, just need to ask for them to be made hot :) Comfortable hang out area. read more

I live in Healdsburg andhave been excited about this new hip coffee shop. Unfortunately the pastries (from a good local bakery Quail and Condor), are STALE. Such a pity. PLEASE for the price of your goods, get fresh ones. I can not recommend your place to my local peeps. read more

I would never have expected to find great coffee in my food wasteland of a home town, but here it is. They roast their own coffee, and they do a wonderful job of it. I feel like too many places follow Starbucks' example of overcooking their coffee because it's all going into frappucinos that are essentially milkshakes and therefore need stronger coffee. Black Oak doesn't fall into this trap, which means you can order a simple black brew that tastes wonderful. read more

How have I not reviewed Black Oak Coffee? Perhaps it's because I've only been to the shop itself once or twice. It's a cozy little spot in Ukiah that's well worth a visit if you're traveling by on 101. But while the cafe is comfortable and the staff are friendly (and eternally patient with my emailed special requests), what makes Black Oak so special is the world class coffee. I've sent hundreds of dollars with Black Oak over the past few years and the coffees I've received in return have been delicious (or at least interesting if they don't align perfectly with my tastes) and expertly roasted. I order almost exclusively from their single origins, which are lighter roasts, but Black Oak offers a variety of blends and roast levels. Even medium roast is typically too dark for me but I've had several medium roasts from Black Oak and they're flavorful and smoky without having that astringent char you get from other roasters. I'm tempted to try Black Bart, their dark roast, but I'm always swayed by the delicious single origins (in particular the natural-processed Ethiopians) every time I'm filling my cart. Best coffee in California? Easily. Possibly the best coffee in the country. read more

I love the products at BOCR, I blend Wagon Wheel with equal parts Duomo and Hippi Coffee from Captain Cook Trading Co in Kealekekua... mmmmmmmm! The layout at BOCR hasn't changed, and it is slow, but the baristas are super, the coffees are great and the ambiance is Mendo all the way... Stop off for a nice shot, and some of the best whole bean coffee around! read more

Morning oats and breakfast burritos are tasty!!! The honey latte is good.. must try !!!

Some of the best coffee and pastries in town. It can be a little loud, with the music and coffee grinders and all that, so not the best place to study/work, but a pleasant place to visit. read more

Best coffee and pastry on the planet. My treat drink is the Decadent Mocha 10 oz with whole milk, Anything to eat on the menu is incredible. Love the scones!!! And the Overnight Oats! Just go there!!! How did they find the amazing staff? Everyone is genuinely friendly and helpful. read more

I love this spot. I'm sure that the majority of my review has already been said by others, but: There's really good, consistent service here and it's not too long of a wait. The food is always fresh and the drinks are great. I normally get tea but on the rare occasion I get coffee, it is really lovely and has a great flavor profile. It's the kind of place that makes me wish I were a coffee drinker instead. I also really love the fact that they have a seasonal drink menu with interesting flavors like their Maitake Mushroom Mocha. Eat your heart out, Starbucks. A few pro-tips: (1) You can order ahead if you're in a rush by ordering online. (2) Ask for an extra minute on their breakfast sandwiches and burritos for a well-heated meal. (3) Come earlier in the day for their housemade chocolate chip cookies; they run out relatively quickly! read more

Just a nice place to sit back and enjoy a ! I have enjoyed going there for several years now. Coffee is always fresh and delicious. Service is always with a smile and a friendly word. The food choices aren't many to choose from, but what they do offer are great tasting. The restrooms are clean and wifi service is to be had while sitting inside or outside. You can watch them roast their coffee beans , so you know it's a local roaster. So you can go to Starbucks if you want, there's 3 in the town of Ukiah. Or you can stop have a real cup of coffee at Black Oak Coffee. read more

Yummy peanut butter blended mocha - perfect for a hot afternoon. The interior was spacious, clean design - would have hung there if it weren't for COVID. read more
