Easily my go to for a consistent delightful beverage in sizes ranging from small to extra large. Sometimes you just need that extra large drink! I've tried several different coffee drinks and they've all been good but my favorite is the Iced Irish. It is the perfect treat and I never have to ask for any customizations with this drink. The lil rockers hot cocoa for kids comes in a cute cup that can be reused. I've never had a bad experience at any of the locations and employees are friendly but not in an overly friendly fake way that makes you regret pulling up to the window. I will say the prices are a bit high compared to others so I don't go here as often as I'd like to but when I get a craving I'm willing to spend the $ for it. read more

I ordered 2 smoothies and the order was not what I ordered at all! I paid for a banana/ Mocha with whip cream and Carmel drizzle...I got a melted banana drink! I tried to call, no number, so I wrote them! They wrote back and said thx for letting them know! Wow! Never going back ...it was expensive! read more

This review is for the shop on Gilbert and Warner. Please keep your intercom open. It's mostly shut off and you have to stop there only to be told not at this time. The intercom is there for a reason. Please turn it on. It helps us get through the line faster. I was told there aren't enough of you inside to take orders and make the drinks. This is a management issue. read more

A friend/co-worker suggested we stop by here on our way back from lunch one day, and I'm glad he did. This is his go-to place apparently, but I really liked it too. The vibe was awesome! Not all snobbed out like those guys who shall remain nameless! Bright, roomy, kind of a stainless steel motif, if you will. I imagine turning wrenches in between rounds of expresso shots! The coffee? Awesome! A good selection and not overly priced like those who shall remain nameless! I'll return if given the opportunity, and so should you. read more

Visited the Black Rock location on South Power Road in Mesa with a good friend yesterday. The staff was most friendly & the hot medium Cafe Americanos we ordered yesterday were perfect. We'll return soon!! Love the comfortable club chairs! & the casual atmosphere!! read more

Finally got a chance to visit Black Rock Coffee Bar in Mesa! The turn off is pretty quick once you're on Power Road, so be on the look out! Black Rock Coffee Bar is a cool, hipster-vibe cafe. They offer classic coffee items, such as the americano, drip, latte, and mocha. They then have the "premium" coffee menu where you can get some interesting special combos and flavors, like the "blackout," which is a hazelnut mocha. They also offer drinks without espresso and have a children's menu for drinks like hot coco, smoothies, juice and milkshakes. They come in these small cute cups and they add a dollop of whip cream at the end of the straw as a special treat for the little ones. If you're not interested in getting out of your car, they have a drive-thru window for you to order your coffee on the go. If you opt to drink and sit for awhile, they have a moderate amount of seating consisting of some small and large tables, a couch section with low coffee tables, and a couple single seats. There aren't many outlets, so if you're looking to do a lot of computer work, you only really have 2 options, one small table and one long table with about 4 outlets. Internet is free, but you will have to ask for the password from the barista. Since it's close to a couple campuses, the barista did mention that it's usually filled with students studying from time-to-time. In addition to their drink menu, they offer some bottled drinks in their cooler, as well as some food items to fill your stomach, such as muffins and bagels. If you're looking to represent the establishment, they sell some cute apparel, including snapback hats, shirts, zip-up hoodies, HydroFlasks with their logo, and various mugs and cups. Overall, it's a great coffee shop with really good coffee that isn't burnt, friendly staff, and a cool, modern-hipster vibe. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Delicious blackout! (Hazelnut mocha) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Had the chai latte. It's my go to at coffee shops. It was decent, not great. Unfortunately most coffee shops are inconsistent, even at Starbucks. Overall, great atmosphere and drink options. read more

Great coffee, great staff, great merchandise, great furniture, great aesthetic, great bathroom lights... You get the picture! I'm glad this location is only 13 min away from me because I definitely want to come back!!! There were so many flavors and options I wanted to try, but I'd jumped straight to the Fuel for a long long day of studying--and LONG day it was. 6 shots across ALL SIZES! This is a graduate student's dream come true I tell ya. Next time I think I want to try something with lavender! Perhaps an Italian ice or a lemonade!!! Only thing I'd make note of that wasn't great (although not bad at all)- the music seemed to be really loud at times?? I don't usually notice since I work with headphones on, but I heard it really clearly at times, particularly when it got CROWDED (Friday around 3-4ish). If you're trying to study and you can't in a loud environment, this might not be your place. But def check out the beverages! I can't wait to come back! read more

See all

Staff was super helpful and polite. Made a great suggestion and my Mocha was awesome! Will be back.

terrible service slow and very rude. Waited 10 minutes in drive through and only 4 cars. Guy taking order said what do you want! Great customer service idiot read more

Everytime I come to Black Rock, location doesn't matter, the customer service is atrocious. No one ever greets, there's usually a group of employees standing around, or maybe they are working, but can't be bothered to acknowledge someone new walking in. At least a look up and a "hi, give me minute" would suffice. The ambience is so upbeat, but your employees definitely don't reflect that. For this, I'll never miss a chance I get to deter someone from going to Black Rock. read more

This location has a drive-thru. Very good coffee. Nice customer service. I just asked for decaf, iced, breve, small caramel. Just what I wanted as a treat after work. read more

We went to the stand I. Queen creek across form Costco this morning for the 5 day in a row order the same thing. Get to the window and drink is half full I asked if it was right he just added more ice. No flavor guy was rude I will never go back. I understand the mix up but not being rude and not fixing it. read more

Great friendly service and delicious drinks! Great stop in AZ near the Mesa airport.

Update from their opening: The outlet situation has improved! They have a huge extension cord which multiple outlets in the middle area. It doesn't add to the aesthetics of the area, but I'll take it. Additionally, the place isn't too crowded so I had no trouble grabbing the prime table with the outlet. The chairs have small backrests which are pretty low. The coffee is still just as good as the first time. The wifi is secured, they have a password with no time limit. read more

Happened upon this place while I was waiting for my fiancé to get his haircut at the Sports Clips next door. What a pleasant find! Very modern and sleek interior with plenty of seating. They have large and small tables as well as a few couches and plush chairs to hang out in. I got one of their drip coffees and it was delicious! I will definitely be coming back to relax and do school work or to meet a friend for a coffee. They even have a drive thru. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I've heard tons of great things about this place; they, like many smaller chains, seem to have a bit of a cult following. The flavors on their menu look innovative and delicious. So what's the issue? Well... I'd call it coffee drinks for people who don't really appreciate coffee. I'd be interested in trying the different blends they roast and sell in my own coffee setup, but the drinks they sell are way too sweet and creamy, with the espresso not being too great. The cold brew also leaves something to be desired. How do you make cold brew that isn't inherently robust? No idea. I like drinking cold brew black, I don't want to hide the flavor in a syrup to make it enjoyable. The service is great, this is nothing personal. I just wish I could have genuinely great coffee and not syrup and half & half with a couple of mediocre shots. If you like sweet milky drinks, great! I like them once in a while myself! I know I sound like a tool, and I probably am one. I just really, really love coffee. The actual coffee. This isn't for me. read more

We love black rock coffee. It's a place where the coffee is actually good. I also like another popular coffee chain but let's be honest, I really just like their overly sugary drinks and chocolate milk. Where as at Black rock the coffee is actually decent. The one thing I wish they would do is get a flipping thermometer for their hot drinks. I've literally never seen one ever be used so I can only assume they don't have one. Any hot coffee drink I've had made is so insanely hot. Like I can't even grab my cup with a hot sleeve on it, The drink is that hot. People are great. Coffee is great. read more

I had the greatest service at Black Rock this morning! The barista was very friendly and professional! However, not his fault, but I believe the milk was starting to go bad, as I have a bad stomach now, snd that's all I've had since getting up at 4:00 a.m. read more

Anastasia Garcia is the bestest Barista ever! She will make you the best drink ever!!

Last couple of times I've come through the drive through, the employees have been incredibly awkward and uncomfortable. Very unfriendly. Yesterday when I rolled through, the girl asked me if I wanted to leave an optional tip and I said no and she practically flung the drinks at me. What do you need a tip for? You've done nothing to earn one. Here's a tip: Be polite, friendly and personable and maybe you would get one! Won't be coming back to this location. Serious company culture issues. read more

That last review was so bougie of me. This is now my go to spot. I like several things on their menu, and they have the smoothest nitro cold brew. I have never had a bad experience here. Love this place, and the staff is always super friendly. read more

Best Coffee in Town! The staff is friendly and they have a wide variety of coffee and flavoring which is hard to find. There nitro cold brew is off the charts. I go to Black Rock quite a bit and always get the nitro cold brew with chocolate macadamia nut flavoring. Oh Man! So Good. So next time when you are driving down the street and need a coffee pass up that Starbucks on the corner and make your way to Black Rock! BrandonFitFoodie read more

HAZEL at the Ellsworth BlackRock is the BEST. twice we had our coffee made awful by another location. we went to her today, and she helped us out and made them to perfection.Have Hazel make your coffee , she is the best! read more

Before Callie served me my cappuccino this morning I was a college dropout sleeping on my mom's futon, working as a janitor for the school district I graduated from. Now I'm firmly ensconced in the upper middle class, with my a B.S. Mathematics and 4 homes. Draw your own conclusions. Oh, and the cappuccino was heavenly. I love this place. See whether you do, too. Friendly and comfortable. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Went to the new BR on south power, been opened for about 3-4 weeks. Wanted to get a couple small sandwiches and two coffees. They were out of everything to make any type of sandwich which they should of put up a sign so i didn't have to stand in line for 20 minutes. Reluctantly just got two coffees. The good part was we walked across the parking lot to Cain's chicken fingers and had a good lunch with coffee. BR get your shit together, new location should be well stocked, don't think i will return. read more

The staff here is always so friendly- we visit most every Sunday and have always been greeted kindly and with enthusiasm regardless of how long the line is. I live that I don't need any special vocabulary to order at Black Rock and I can ask for half or quarter sweet and get my coffee exactly as I like each tim. read more

Always friendly!!! I ordered on the app but the dining area isn't open yet. I text the store and they told me to walk up to the drive through window. So accommodating!!! read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Hands down the best coffee place. Ditch Starbucks and try this out. I've been to 2 different Gilbert locations and the staff was very friendly and helpful at both places. They make great recommendations if you're not sure what you want, the drive thru moves fast, and the music isn't too loud like lost coffee places. Their cold brew is fantastic and their flavors are strong without being too sweet. read more

This is my go to place if I'm in the mood for a sweet blended coffee. The Oreo Chiller is my favorite. The staff is always friendly. My drink is always tasty. My only issue is they turn the drive-thru speaker off at 4pm and I feel that it really slows down the line of cars. I love chatting with the staff but I'll go inside if I want to do that. I'm in a hurry that's why I'm going through the drive-thru. read more

The coffee was amazing! I had the caramel mocha, hot & it was so good! Went through the drive thru, the staff was very friendly and super fast! read more

There is never enough staff working in the morning. Two or three people when the line is 10 people deep inside, and I'm sure even more in the drive-through! read more

Go through the drive thru, it's obviously their priority and you won't have to wait 15 minutes for a simple black coffee and cold brew.

Dont be cheap people get good coffee at starbucks. I was kicked out for being a little strange. Most of my life i have been diffrent. I deal with it. I suffer from a medical defect that makes me be a little strange. They took no consideration to my condition and they took the cowerdly aproach by calling the police. They could have just asked me to leave and stay away. They can say whatever they want but it does not make it right. I had been going there for months and i think it was the combination of my tattoos and talking to myself. I have been treated for my condition at a local clinic and have been on medication for about 8 years. STAY AWAY! read more

So I guess I got a little spoiled. My regular black rock location on Crismon made it too hard for other locations to live up to their high standards. This location is way slower and they have gotten my order wrong a number of times. The product is still great it's just the service that is lacking. A lot of the workers need retraining. When the person repeats back your 1 drink order, and it's exactly what you and they still get it wrong at the window, something is really wrong. Ok, another thing they do is not use the speaker box. It seems a good portion of the day they have it so you go to the window to order. As anyone can tell you this slows thing up dramatically!! I was waited a good 15 minutes just to get to the window to then order and wait even longer. I don't know what is going on in this location but the manager needs to remedy this ASAP. read more

My wife and I discovered BR about 5 years ago when we visited the store on Power Road in Mesa, and it's been our go to ever sense. This specific store is still our favorite as it seems to be the most consistent and they still make my favorite drink, the Peach Cobbler (which BR needs to bring back along with the Strawberry Shortcake!) Today I parked my car and by the time I walked into the store they already had a Peach Cobbler waiting for me. I was blown away! The staff is AWESOME and the drinks are BEST! read more

Best coffee I've had in forever!... and I tour basically every coffee shop everywhere. The actual taste of the coffee is phenomenal AND they have a large number of flavors that are regular and also sugar free (more than Starbucks and other popular coffee houses.) The best part is these flavors actually taste really really good! The sugar free flavors don't taste weird and fake. All milk alternatives are also served. Extremely friendly and genuine customer service (good sign that employees are treated well, which I like to support) Definitely will be back again and would go every day if I could.... and I'm not that easy to please. read more

I'm a big customer service lover.. probably because I've been industry for over 20 years... but I love the quirky personalities, the light conversation, and the strong coffee. Mind you I frequent the drive thru. I have actually never been inside. Probably should go in just to see huh?! Anyway. I dig it.. more than SOME places that can not be named. read more

Stopped into Black Rock Coffee Bar a few times while on a weekend visit in Gilbert. Used the drive through twice and service was fast, friendly and the coffee was REALLY good! The inside seating area also looked adorable, we just were always on the run when we stopped. read more

Just went thru the drive thru. The girl handing the drinks out was fine. It was the bossy black / red (or maroon) highlighted haired girl who was VERY unprofessional and rude. Especially bossing the girl around at the window. We asked for cold chocolate milk, NO ICE when ordering. The rude girl said "please let them know they need to ask for "cold pour" cause no ice is $0.75 extra." Uh okay. We did ask for no ice when ordering. She was just totally rude in her approach. Black Rock usually has very nice staff. But that one girl should not be working there and made this location look bad. read more
