Excellent coffee and pastries. Very friendly service. Reasonable prices. Great place to relax with friends or work on your laptop.

I've been looking for a new coffee place. Starbucks is lackluster best. I was excited to try this place. The drinks were good, bagels good, service was quick. Then I went back during the week. I ordered well ahead of time. My stuff wasn't ready, they'd call it out when it was. Sucks, but I'll wait. The girls who ordered after I did got their drinks before I did. Mine had been sitting on the counter long enough for the ice to melt on what was supposed to be a hot drink. One more try, it's not Starbucks. It has to be better. This time my husband went. Bagels were still good. We both got drinks that tasted like cough syrup. It was incredibly strange. We ended up throwing them out. It's too bad because their Mexican mocha was damn good but I can't justify returning to a coffee place that has gotten my drink wrong on two out of three occasions. read more

Great ambiance. The staff was very patient and informative with my nieces who were really intrigued with the menu. I love that they have many signature drinks and traditional as well. The patio is nice and spacious. A win for nice weather days. Adding this to my list ! read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Caramel Blondie Iced Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

If you are on the west side of town and looking for coffee this spot will do the job. They have a drive through which is nice! I wish the people who worked here paid more attention to detail - they often hand the hot coffees out without a sleeve and never a plug for the top unless you ask for them and sometimes you only get the sleeve. But the location is nice and clean with patio seating and is dog friendly. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - As you see in this photo i ended up scaling the facility - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

It's one thing to have bad coffee, it's another thing to charge so much for it. The cold brew tastes like absolutely nothing. The workers were lovely, but I will not be coming back. Starbucks even has higher quality coffee for a much lower price. read more

Talk about some strong coffee. You're definitely only going to need one cup to give you that morning lift. Perfect location on Southwest parkway so I often stop in there on my way downtown for work. It's also a great spot to meet clients with the large covered patio and quite a beautiful design of the building. The drive-thru also works well if you're in a hurry. All types of flavors and the staff and services top notch. read more

This is a cute and del ious little drop spot for coffee but especially for matcha! This place is such a cute little friendly vibe! If you have never been definitely worth a stop, I loved trying their matcha but I hope to visit soon and try some new drinks from their awesome menu! Customer service was great! Overall loved it, will come to visit again for sure and will keep you updated when I do! read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Matcha! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm personally not a fan, which is quite unfortunate because I can see how many people love this place. My friends and I came after a long drive from San Antonio, and this was one of the few coffee shops that was open that early in the morning. I ordered a chai latte, and it was really bland and watery. I didn't finish it, and it was a pretty expensive drink too. I appreciate how large the sizes are, but I am not sure if my experience can justify another visit. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - chai latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was really surprised and excited by their reasonable prices! I ordered a caramel blondie, a delicious combo of white chocolate and caramel, and walked away paying just over $5 after tip. After going to many coffee shops in town I was really surprised that many of their specialty coffees start at less than $4. The customer service was great and the drive through line moved very quickly. I had a question about one of their drinks and instead of calling in they offer a direct text message line, I was able text a manager who got back to me promptly. *Their drinks do run very sweet. I ordered mine half sweet and could have cut back even more. read more

Finally got to go inside as last time here it was closed due the 'Rona. Coffee is really good but I was really interested in the Blackout, a hazelnut mocha. Damn! That drink was dope, yo!! great combo between the two flavors and truly satisfying on a cool December day. read more

Like for realz, who are these guys & when did they get here? It's too slick not to be a chain, and I know we're supposed to hate on chains, for not being local or dark & gloomy enough whatever. But if this is the new wave of coffeehouse franchises springing up, count me in. I'm not saying your life as you know it will change, but if you just need a pleasant respite in a bright & cheery place with a friendly staff, I'm not sure it gets much better than this. All I've had here is the straight black House, they charge me $1.89 and it's been good stuff. The only reason I know about this place at all is because my optometrist moved into the middle of this complex (Lantana something?), they recommended it (and Carve on the other end), and they've always been right. (Okay, I gotta finish that Carve review & update Lone Star Eye too. Hey, I have other things going on.) The bottom line is BR Coffee Bar is way out of my hood, and the couple of times I've been here it's not been uncrowded. But I'm not interested in camping out with a laptop in Southwest Parkway. I just get my straight black, smile a lot, and get out. No Bad Day at Black Rock for me. read more

Let's be real, Texas is fantastic. But lack luster in their coffee game ... thank you Oregon for sending your craft coffee to Austin. We appreciate you being here to fulfill our caffeine needs. Buttery hand crafted coffee is enjoyable sip after sip as you sit on their spacious outside patio with ample seating inside as well. In a rush? Having a bad hair day? Don't want to be seen in public? Rest easy knowing they have a drive through with the same quality as coming in and communicating with society. read more

Came back last Sunday to try their pastries, and all three were so yummy. One daughter usually does not eat pastries, and she ate all of the Apple cinnamon pillow, had to beg for a bit, and half of the lemon poppyseed cake. So yeah, the pastries are delicious. read more

I went on free coffee day and boy was this place busy. I think everyone was super excited to have decent coffee on the way in to Austin. Despite it being crazy busy everyone was super nice and answered questions I had. I had a caramel mocha which tasted great. I look forward to trying this place again when not so crazy busy. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

So happy there is now a decent coffee bar in this part of town. Black Rock is a chain, but it is a ccol one. The place is modern, and spacious with a large patio. Their menu is just what you expect from a coffee shop. OK, but what about the coffee? It's good coffee. Very smooth, not bitter. The opposite of what you get at a Starbucks. I got a drip and a breve. The drip was easy to drink, yet had flavor. The breve had a bit too much milk for me. I thought about giving it four stars because it is not the best coffee in Austin, and because I like coffee with a bolder flavor. Yet, it is my personal preference and this is still the best coffee you can find in a 3-5 mile radius. I had a blueberry muffin which was delicious and also a reasonable size. Black Rock has a drive through for those in a hurry. A welcome addition to the area. Go try it. read more

My boyfriend has been frequenting Black Rock on Southwest Parkway for a few years now; however now he prefers to grab a coffee and sit outside in his truck. I can't stay and sit there due to the heavy rock music vibe starting at probably 5:00 am. I mean who wants to hear loud obnoxious music that early in the morning. I don't spend my money there or stay longer than 5 min due to the non-relaxing music this place puts out. I mean, possibly you can start that hard rock loud noisy vibe closer to 10:00? I asked the barista about it and I just get deer in the headlights. I suspect more people have this complaint in mind but nobody speaks up. There was a barista here a while back that would throw some country tunes on and that at least was calmer. I get that a lot of customers are just popping in and popping out, but there are also tons of chairs and tables encouraging one to sit and stay a while. Please please consider changing the morning music to something less banging and less in-your-face music. At any rate, it keeps THIS customer out of your establishment and I live very close by and I never recommend Black Rock bc of this reason. A seemingly small, but important reason. Don't choose such a loud rocking out genre of music if you're looking to attract a wide customer base. read more

I love Black Rock so much. This is the third location that I've visited (the other two in Houston) and it is so consistent. The staff is always so friendly and helpful, and the drinks are so yummy! I brought my mom here because I wouldn't stop talking about it. We both ordered large non fat iced caramel blondies, and it was so good! The inside of the store is nice and spacious! It also has a drive thru. I love this place more than Starbucks and Summer Moon. I've tried a couple of drinks on the menu, but nothing beats the iced Caramel Blondie! read more

They're a bit overpriced and obviously more of a Dunkin/Starbucks type of place, but I do think it's worth it!

Full disclosure: I love coffee. It's hard to find any coffee place that disappoints me so I always rate them high, but that being said Black Rock is actually this good. I got the Mexican chocolate iced coffee and my fiancée got an iced caramel with soy milk. I gotta say I got the better drink in this case because chocolate. Heck yes! Pros: the coffee was sweet but not so sweet it makes you want to throw up and ruins the whole experience. It had flavor that was not covered or overpowering to the coffee itself; a hard thing to do imo. Perfect drinks for sipping. And the best part the staff were so patient and friendly as we tried to figure out what to order. Cons: I wish there were more locations in The greater Austin area! However I will go to them no matter where they are. read more

The coffee is ok but the speed of service is really bad. The team members need better training or more staffing to meet theit needs.

Went in at 540 PM to try their coffee for the first time. No one was in line, two people said that they'd" be right with you". ....No one ever did, and all 3 employees just kept working on the single order for the single car in the drive thru. We left without getting the opportunity to buy anything. Too bad I wanted to like this place read more

Coffee is great, the drive through lady today was horrible. She could be a little more positive. Definitely won't be coming to this location due to her rudeness. read more

I waited over an hour for an Uber eats drink!!' I ended up canceling it. I was beyond PISSED off. I had an order once at Starbucks on Brodie for (17) drinks and they had it out within 10 minutes. I guess their baristas are more capable and productive. I will never ever come back here. One star is way too generous!!!! read more

Love this place. Great portions, amazing taste. Fantastic Ruben.

My first time at black rock coffee, I had an amazing staff member that was very kind and friendly and recommended me a drink that I loved. However, this specific location was quite rude. As the only black woman in the shop, I found it very rude that my order had been ready for 10 minutes and they did not call for it. I went to the counter to ask about the order but they continue to ignore and walk past me. They continued to call other orders until finally a customer spoke up for me and let me get in front of him in line to ask the cashier. Again, I was at the front waiting on the order but they placed it away from everyone else's and did not call for the name. I don't typically experience racism in Austin, but this felt like it. read more

I ordered a hot chocolate that was very good. My friend and I got a lot of work done while appreciating the nice interior. Plenty of parking which is nice in ATX! read more

This place is awesome. Unfortunately, I discovered it right after COVID hit so I've only been inside once. They have a drive through which gets a pretty steady stream of cars in the morning. The coffee is great and they have a variety of things they can make. They move through lines pretty quickly. The employees are all super nice and genuine. It's very consistent and obvious a culture has been created. Their breakfast tacos are bomb. You can't really go wrong but bean/egg/cheese and papas/egg/cheese are my top ones with their mild green sauce. Give them a try! read more

I've been constantly impressed with how friendly the baristas are here. They're currently operating as drive thru only, but you can hear the joy in the baristas' voices when they take your order. The coffees are all quite flavorful - even the chillers, which are the blended ones and can get watered down at other coffee shops. They had a deal this week where you could get a different medium chiller every day for just $3! I was able to try some new flavors and am excited to go back to try their cold brew as well. read more

I come inside every morning. These people are VERY rude. I said "Goodmorning " , to not one but TWO CHATTING coworkers/employees. Neither one acknowledged me AND PROCEEDED to carry on the conversation. This isn't the first time either as Ive already had the same experience prior but tried to not make a deal about it. It is the last time I will be supporting this specific coffee shop location. If I were you id find a BETTER PLACE TO ENJOY YOUR MORNINGS!!! read more

Was excited to try this place out, but was let down. Arrived around 10:30am on a Saturday and there was no place to sit inside (was a cold day). The coffee smelled great, but I like to sit down and enjoy my coffee and relax, and with no place to sit inside I grew frustrated and left. I'm so sick and tired of people that bring in their computers and camp out for hours in coffee shops. There needs to be a time limit on table usage. They need to add more indoor seating or reconfigure and add better seating for more patrons. read more

I got a medium hot chocolate here because Starbucks wasn't open, as soon as I took a sip I felt like I was in heaven it was incredible and the service is really fast, they have a wide verity of food and drinks for every craving and I would suggest is to you. read more

Love their fuels but this review is really for Naomi! She is always so sweet and I always look forward to talking to her in the morning

Thank you Oregon. Strong, quality coffee brewed at this chain out of the Pacific Northwest. They know coffee there. And there prices are way more fair compared to local chains. Also the drive thru is one of the most efficient of all I've been too. I usually do drive thru, although they have a busy seating area with WiFi inside and out. The style isn't super cozy, but clean. A large iced americano, black but not boring, is my drink of choice. I've tried the gourmet pastry selections too, donuts and scones, which can be a nice occasional treat. Worth the cost alone for being fresh unlike the frozen reheated mediocre things Starbucks sells. Oh and Black Rock has a great rewards program. It's unfortunate our main local chain, with some of the highest prices (Summer Moon) stopped their rewards program. I drive out of my way for the value and delicious experience here. read more

Food is good, Coffee, Service and Ambiance are amazing. Nice place to chill or work with nice table
