My visit to the Castle Rock Black Rock was enjoyable. The young man at the counter was very friendly and the correct choice to greet customers coming in, and for me, for the first time. Good cup of Joe. Would repeat when between Colorado Springs and Denver. read more

Went to the Black Rock coffee in Castle Rock colorado. Line was about twenty cars long at the drive through but i got into it anyways. Studied the online menu during my 20 minute wait. And when I finally got up to the gal taking orders, the three things our group had wanted on the menu "aren't available at this location". Asked what else was available to eat and there's no menu board for 5 more cars in front of me so the poor gal has to rattle off the entire menu to me. When i finally do get up to the window to pay they haven't even started making my order yet . So eight more minutes there , $21 later and two of the most mediocre lates and a very meh butter croissant later we're on the road . Definitely room for a real coffee shop in Castle Rock. read more

We have been to Black Rocks all over the Denver area and in 5 states. Castle Rock is the worst. Today we went in for lattes. What we got were more like Cafe au laits. No froth. Very strong. Not the first issue we've had here (and never have issues addressed), but decided to give them another chance. Should have gone to DTC. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Not a latte (which is what we ordered) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

I used to really enjoy going to Black Rock Coffee -- the baristas were friendly, the service was efficient, and it felt like a great local spot. Unfortunately, the experience has gone downhill lately. Now, with the push toward app ordering, the personal touch is gone. I regularly place my order, drive 10 minutes to the store, and then end up waiting an additional 20-30 minutes for my drink -- even when the place isn't busy. I have arrived at BR and waited for someone to acknowledge me and just went ahead and placed an app order all while waiting for the staff. Worse, I often stand at the counter for 5+ minutes before anyone even acknowledges me. It's frustrating, especially when staff are right there but don't say a word. On top of that, they still charge for alternative milk (even Starbucks and Dutch Bros have dropped those charges), and today my XL drink was only about 2/3 full. (I measured when I got home and was literally shorted 1 full cup.... And I don't expect it to be full spilling from the top just pretty close to the top of the cup) To top it off, the espresso is frequently burnt, which makes the drinks bitter and unpleasant. I've been a loyal customer for a while, but once I use up the rewards from their newly revamped loyalty system, I don't see myself coming back. read more

Visited for the first time. It was pretty good! I got an iced vanilla latte - it was pretty milk forward. It happens. Would try again! read more

I love Starbucks! But today we decided to try Black Rock. It was 6:10pm so I checked the hours and they closed at 7pm. We were good so off we went. We enter the drive through only to find a truck blocking the way. The people didn't move or bother to inform us they were doing some kind of work. After a few minutes of sitting there, we reversed back through the narrow drive through. We pulled around to the front and found a sign on the door "closed early for construction." Maybe add a sign at the entrance of drive through and maybe update your hours. We'll just stick with Starbucks from now on. Never experienced this nonsense anywhere else AND we should have read the reviews before going because we would have saved ourselves some time. read more

I pre ordered my food and drink earlier, and 20 mins later, still not ready. There wasn't many people in there so I doubt there was that many drinks ahead of mine. The food was good, but the drink wasn't so good. I had no idea that it didn't come with any sweetener what so ever and just plain vanilla sweeter costs 80 extra cents. Also the milk for lactose intolerant people like me is extra. one dollars extra. So the only way my stomach will be happy is if my wallet isn't. read more

I remember when this location was first announced, and I was excited to try it out. Many years later, I'm finally getting a chance to. My overall experience was not good. While the espresso drink, and egg bites that I got were both really good - it was the service and layout that was not impressive. The menu is quite far from the counter and quite difficult to read in order to help someone see what is offered. For my visit, it took an uncomfortably long time for someone to even acknowledge me let alone take my order. It seems the best way to get services to go through the drive-through. Sadly disappointing. read more

This place has never let me down. I always come here to get their lattes and blender drinks. I've read other reviews and I've personally never had a wait. Even with the busy days. We've visited other Black Rock Coffee Bars and has loved each one. But this one in Castle Rock has the comfy leather chairs. Hunker down and sit in one of the big chairs and read for a little bit during the snowy winter months. read more

I have a lactose allergy and they consistently do not use the correct milk. I messaged corporate and they said they would confirm with the employees to use the correct milk and asked me to try them again. I Went again today and guess what, cow milk and I'm SICK AGAIN because of them. If you have a lactose allergy please DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION. read more

The service is bare minimum at best, coffee is never full and I've been here multiple times because I enjoy Black Rock coffee. Seems like a lack of effort at this location & I'm never one to write bad reviews but after the consistent bad service I have received here I needed to share so others don't get the same treatment. read more

I am a tea snob- the decor of the place was mixed table heights, and shapes. They had a cozy corner with comfy chairs. I ordered a black tea with raspberry, asking for it to be sweetened. It was just OK- the sweetness was not noticeable a d although my drink was red in color, the raspberry flavor just wasn't there. The staff was very nice. read more

We have been going to the Castle Rock location for 6 years. The service was always good but unfortunately it has especially declined in the last year. We go every day and spend good money and this coffee shop is our choice because they close at 7. For some strange reason, on recent visits, they have told us that they closed early for the day. Today we got there at 6:50, and got the same message. Additionally, several times we've received a coffee drink that is 2/3 of the way filled up. So sad to see one of our local choices go down hill. Terrible, unfortunate, and unacceptable service. Too many choices to be treated so poorly. read more

Love love love Black Rock! It's so nice to have a local spot to get some quality coffee. After living in San Francisco for so long, my standards for a good coffee are up there.. (snobby maybe, but I can't help it). Not only is there great coffee, but the vibe inside is always bustling (which brings me back to city life for a minute!), the breakfast burritos are 5-stars, and the staff is always so friendly. If you go through the drive-thru, be prepared for a chatty staff member.. they usually bring ALL the energy ;-P If you happen to need a solid hat too... I bought one here and it's one of our favorite hats (my husband stole it... so I'll be getting another one). The biggest takeaway: Your money will be well spent here... enjoy!! read more

We got a blueberry muffin that was subpar and so sweet we ended up tossing it. The coffee was not bad. We had coffee and hazelnut latte but wasn't really great. Medium strength. I don't like super strong or anything but this was forgettable. We had a sausage egg breakfast burrito that was tasty but the potatoes were not fully cooked. Slightly raw taste. The location was nice and inside had lots of seating. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome but it just wasn't a great food experience. read more

Simply put.... The food is disgusting! The toasted bagel was as so stale and crunchy that It sounded like my husband was going to break his tooth on it. The butter croissant was still frozen assuming that they pull it from the freezer? Not sure, but I do know it is not made fresh nor led to believe it's made there at all. Lemon bar was ice cold... not even my 4 year old would eat it. read more

Good location, plenty of parking. There's a large round table, good for group meetings. What I ordered: Dry cappuccino. Was delicious! There's a Starbucks on the other side of the street, but why go there when you can go here?! read more

I am such a sucker for unique coffee shops (sorry Starbucks, still love you!) so I was patiently waiting for the Black Rock Coffee Bar to open for business. Its a brand new building and it's on the same parking lot as my office so I couldn't be more excited once it finally opened up. It's super spacious inside and I love the modern decor! Plenty of space between the tables so it's perfect for quick business meetings/networking or awkward blind dates as you are not rubbing elbows with the people next to you (plus with all the covid restrictions they will always have plenty of room for all the customers). The menu is perfect (interesting and not overwhelming), and coffee is delicious! The service is always super friendly as well! I can't recommend it enough!! read more

I know this is a coffee place but seriously the matcha is so subpar, it doesn't even taste like matcha. My matcha was BROWN.?! I asked for extra matcha and there are clumps on the bottom as well. What the hell?? Blueberry bagel with cream cheese was pretty good though. Repeat after me. Do Not Sell Matcha Drinks Unless You Want An Actual Matcha Taste. This watered down garbage i thought i had just received a chai tea because of the color. Spoiler: starbucks is better, which is saying a lot. read more

Stopped here because of the name and logo... it reminded me of a distant mystical land in Nevada called Black Rock City ;) Had a bit of a sweet tooth so I ordered a Carmel Blondie Chiller and a Blueberry Muffin. Both were great - the muffin was tiny for the price but I can't complain because it was one hell of a muffin! Overall great experience. Friendly staff and tasty drinks. They also have various alternate milk options and gluten free snacks if you're looking for that kind of thing. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Carmel Blondie Chiller - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

This is one of my favorite coffee spots in Castle Rock. Coffee tastes great! I usually order a drip brew or a decaf Americano. I like how they have half and half placed away from the barista station; you don't need to ask a barista for it. The half and half is placed where patrons add sweetener to their beverages. I'm impressed that they offer Stevia as a sweetener alternative. Staff is usually friendly here. I also like that the coffee is served "hot" here rather than "lukewarm" like so many places tend to serve it. This is a great place to stop on your way to work in the morning. It's great that this location is so close to the interstate. There are also shops and eateries in a nearby mini strip mall. The interior of BR Coffee Bar is also clean and there are plenty of places to sit. I'll definitely make this one of my regular go to places for great coffee! read more

Grabbed a to go drink from Black Rock and really enjoyed it. They have a special $4 weekly menu where they have one coffee and one non coffee drink as a $4 special each day. This is such an awesome concept! I ordered the coffee special which was the Carmel blondie. The drink was delicious and was the perfect balance of sweetness and expresso. This location had plenty of open seating and tables and would serve as w great place to work or just hang out. read more

This is an update review from several years ago. This location is perfect when shopping in the outlet stores. I can grab my cappuccino (made hot - not lukewarm - and the foam was fresh and delicious! And the extra shot of caffeine I requested was perfect! The staff were friendly and helpful. The tables were clean and the floor swept! Yay! My pet peeve in another local coffee place is dirty tables while the teen staff gather and visit behind the counter! This place is obviously well managed. Thanks for a great experience! read more

Always a treat to stop here when traveling to CR! Sad to see its now only drive thru..but thats not "their" fault...its your politicians and Covid? Enough said... It does not however negate their great cup of coffee and fresh roasted beans to go...ground or whole. The employees at the window are upbeat and positive...making us feel truly welcomed and happy to spend our $$$... Wishing them a "speedy" recovery and their business and livelihood back to normal soon. Support your local businesses!!!! read more

Not all coffee chains are made alike but Black Rock has quickly become one of my favorites! (kind of wishing we had one of these instead of a dutch bros in parker..) anyways, if you like your coffee sweet-but-not-too-sweet, i'd recommend the irish coffee :) also i'll note: it's drive thru only right now but the service was super quick! read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Iced Irish Coffee (Medium) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

I raise my delicious cup of coffee to you, Black Rock Coffee Bar! I've been meaning to try this place, and my visit was hastened when I learned that they were giving ALL profits earned this past Friday to a family in Castle Rock who was recently affected by a tragic car accident. I will ABSOLUTELY support a business that supports its community. I walk in and the community love continues- I see a poster about a blanket drive BR is participating in. So awesome. I step up to place my order and inquire about healthy options. The very friendly person at the counter informed me that not only can drinks be made with skim milk, but they also have almond and soy milks, and most drinks can be made with sugar free syrups. I really appreciate that so many dietary needs and tastes can be met! Also, while I didn't order a pastry today, I did take note that some tasty looking options from local bakeries were available- more community involvement and positive collaboration! I selected the Mexican mocha with skim milk, and it was served up quickly at the perfect temperature. I was in love at first sip- not overly sweet like some fancy coffee drinks, obviously made with quality ingredients, and just a hint of spice to make it unique. I cannot wait to try their other drinks! The only thing I didn't love about this place was the space itself. While modern and super cool, it's not cozy like I personally prefer for coffee shops. It has an industrial feel, seating does not look comfortable, and I can see it getting loud. That being said, I usually grab my drink and go, so this doesn't affect me. Fantastic coffee, wonderful service, and a business that supports the community definitely means that Black Rock has earned my business, and I think they deserve yours, too. read more

i ordered a blended fuel and the lady that took my order told me that the machine was broken. so i am already unhappy, then as i approach the window the lady at the window started catching a bee instead of helping us. so on top of this, as the lady hands me my other drinks that i had to order, i see BLENDED FUELS on the counter. i was more than upset to say the least and i don't know if i will be going back. read more

Every time I visit this Black Rock, I am super impressed by their hospitality. They always make an effort to start up a conversation or to give a compliment and I love how they support students and teachers with cheaper drinks on Tuesdays!! read more

First time visiting Castle Rock to meet up with classmates for school who live in CO Springs. We decided this would be a great study place based on their photos in Yelp, we weren't disappointed. They had 2 massive tables that we could chose from to spread out on. We we went they also had deals for each day of the week which discount some if their premium drinks, since it was sunday, the drink of the day was Mexican Mocha! Definitely a MUST TRY. They can serve any flavor of drink, hot, iced or blended. For food choices they had some muffins and bagels which was perfect to hold me over until lunch. The interior of their coffee shop was amazing design wise, it seems that they captures the natural feel of CO as well as their brand. If you're in castle rock area, stop by for a drink or some of their "fuel" drinks! read more

I came here to get some work done on a Saturday morning. I had read some other reviews and was curious to try out the coffee, food and see how the WiFi is. I definitely liked the coffee which was really great. For the food I wasn't very impressed they only had pre made pastry's, I tried one of the Orange Scones and really didn't like it. It also came from a company in Seattle and im amazed they can't find a local bakery to do get pastries from. I also was really disappointed with the WiFi. It was super slow to the point that I ended up just using my phone hotspot. Overall I would come back here to do the drive thru Coffee but that's about it. Wasn't impressed with the food or WiFi. read more

Wish there was one closer to my house! read more

Trying another coffee shop we'd been eyeing by our new house this weekend! The drive through line was a little longer then the Dutch Bros. we visited yesterday but it moved very quickly so no complaints. The inside also had cool decor so we'll have to pop in sometime. We got a chai tea latte & a hot mexican mocha. I loved the cinnamony chocolate flavor and all their signature drinks look enticing. Though Dutch Bros. has a larger drink selection, Black Rock gets points for its larger selection of baked items. Our chocolate croissants were bigger then Starbucks and seemed more chocolate covered. I think we'll probably just rotate between this and Dutch Bros. trying all their items. The employees were also lovely here so we'll be coming back! read more

Went for first time Sat morning and I was extremely impressed. The coffee was excellent and they have GLUTEN-FREE breakfast items!!! This girl will drive here just for this read more

First time going to Black Rock was a success! Walked in and was instantly in love with the decor. It is just so cute! The staff was whipping around making orders for the customers and were doing it well and quick. Lastly, I got a chai latte and LOVED IT! May be an unpopular opinion... if enjoyed more than Starbucks! Will be going back :) read more

I can honestly say that black rock coffee in castle rock has a five star rating for best coffee, excellent customer service and excellent management,above any other coffee shop in the whole city of Castlerock Colorado and that is far above every Starbucks put together. The employees are respectful and genuinely care about customers. There coffee is excellent hot or cold.... read more

I've had Black Rock in Oregon and it was great, but this location was a bad experience for being my first time here since moving here. Nobody knew what a Red Eye was or Americano, which was mind blowing since your a coffee shop, that what you do. Benefit of the doubt and maybe everyone had a bad day, but the 2 folks I dealt with week all attitude and NO customer service Ive since found some really great coffee shops in Castle Rock for my daily coffee and won't be returning to Black Rock. First impressions! read more

Great spot by the outlets. Plenty of parking, great open space with big tables for studying/doing work or catching up with friends. Service was quick and atmosphere wasn't too busy. Breve looked good and I tried the salted caramel latte. Would recommend for a coffee pick me up while you're in castle rock! read more
