It's like 5 minutes per vehicle. Unacceptable it's 649 in the morning and there's a slow car jam.

I GOT FOOD POISONING!! Ordered a vanilla latte and egg bites, all I had eaten that day, and then got violently sick for two days. DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

Paid $7 for a "matcha" that's literally a cup of milk lmfao. Was so dumbfounded I just blinked and drove away. Had to add my own matcha powder when I got home. Never again haha read more

So many things to choose from but they can help you make a choice if you want help. Coffee is always good! Carmel vanilla latte!!

Waited in line for about 10 years it felt like. Not only that but I ordered a simple hot vanilla latte, it tasted SUPER burnt like extremely burnt, no vanilla flavor, had a nutty taste to it but was mainly extremely burnt. Almost had a chemically aftertaste. Absolutely will not be going back. read more

It seems like it would be much more efficient to display a menu BEFORE you get to the drive-thru ordering window. The wait was painfully long. The window gal was super cool and gave me a free drink as this was my first visit. I took the advice from a fellow Yelper and ordered the Caramel Blondie with half the sweetener. Awesome, I can't think of a better like-drink. The taste at Black Rock is a definite cut-above Starbucks and Dutch Bros. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

First time trying this place out today. I'm happy that they have good, strong coffee. No sour taste so I think they make it pretty frequently. I was surprised to find that the mediums are quite large! The baristas were very friendly and helpful too. I got an iced coffee with cream and my partner got the black out with an extra shot. His was pretty sweet, but still really yummy. I'll definitely try this place again! read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Quick service, coffee can be hit or miss. They will try to make special/unique orders, so if you have a recipe, it's worth asking.

They're over priced watered down cold brew is definitely not recommended. The location is good though for your convenience. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - To light and too watery. No good. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I am a recent Black Rock convert. I work nearby and this location has replaced my routine morning coffee but not so sure after today's visit when I found a HUGE MOTHER EFFER FLYYYY in my iced Americano. I mean, no big deal, things happen. Yes it's disgusting and unfortunate but what is not acceptable is how I was treated when I went back during my lunch break to ask for them to make it right. They were apologetic but they were grilling me on what time I was there, my name, the last 4 of my credit card, so they could see if they could refund me. They initially offered me to remake my drink and give me a free one for next time. Great. But I didn't want a coffee at that time so I asked if I could just get it refunded and a free one next time. Doesn't seem like a big deal but as soon as I asked this, the woman had to ask someone else, "now he wants a refund AND a free one next time" Totally made me feel like I was inconveniencing them..I mean, I'm the paying customer that had a monster fly iny drink! Anyway, they couldn't find me in their transaction history, even though the green haired guy took my order 3 hours earlier. They begrudgingly gave me $3 cash back and avoided all eye contact. Just felt wrong. Definitely not the standard of great or even good customer service. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - HUGE fly in my iced Americano. Barely got an apology.. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The girl at the window taking orders... orange blonde hair was not helpful and acted like it was an issue to help pick out a flavor for an iced green tea. She shows me the screen and then when I asked to glance at it for the list of flavors she looked at me and says "we have a lot of flavors". Like thanks for stating the obvious dingaling. Very unhelpful and honestly helped contribute to my overall already crappy morning. No wonder Starbucks gets more service... better customer experiences. read more

It has the friendliest staff and the best coffee. The aditional snack food available is a nice variety.

Service is quick and everyone is always nice. Go there most mornings. Has bad homeless camps along the side street though.

My boyfriend orders a coffee that sounds like it would be on one of those funny yet annoying videos on YouTube. Ya know the kinda. Anyway they get it perfect everyone even when we have it delivered. ( yep they deliver too) Service is always great here as well. A++ read more

This was my first visit to a Black Rock Coffee Bar chain. I was on the 26 or SE Powell Blvd. when I visited the drive thru and ordered an Americano for the road. I did not see an Americano on the menu, but I ordered it anyways. I usually don't use the drive thru but this time here I was. I received pretty good results. The espresso was a little up front but then settled done to a smoother and easier drink. It was definitely what I needed for the drive up to Mt. Hood. Ordered was a breeze and the Americano came out quickly. The young lady at the window was nice. read more

I just want to preface this review by saying that I come to this black rock location every day before work, and I have never had a problem. I also want to say every other employee at this location has been nothing but nice and accommodating. The drink that I get every single time is a small white chocolate Irish breve in a medium cup, half sweet, and extra hot; the cost is always 4.85$, but this day, however, my drink cost 5.25$. I had a question about the price of my drink, but the barista who was serving me was extremely rude and condescending in regards to my concerns. I said "oh, my drink is normally $4.85 and rung up as an Irish breve.." and before I could finish my sentence I was cut off and told "well the price is correct and if I rung it up as a breve it would actually be $5.40" and then she proceeded to sit there in silence without handing me my drink. I wasn't sure what to say at this point; it's early, I have to be to work, this has never happened before... So I said to her "Thats okay. I don't care anymore, I need to get to work" which prompted the rude and nasty comment that lead me to make this review today; she proceeded to say "Well, if you didn't care, you wouldn't have asked", and handed me my coffee and water while squeezing it so hard the water partially splashed out. I was done by this point. I told her to have a good day and left. I did not have a chance to get the name of this particular barista, however, I can give a description; she is about 5'6", wears black square framed glasses, black hair in a ponytail and is most likely Asian or Hispanic. I hope this never happens again, but if anyone runs into this person, be on the look out; they are not safe or considerate. read more

I enjoy black rock, and have for quite some time. Unfortunately they aren't taking the Coronavirus seriously. I went today and 4 visible employees were working in tight quarters without any face coverings. They're working with food and drink, and I worry that if they and their employees can't take the situation seriously, have they made any other health safety changes?! I bought a large mocha as usual but threw it away before even drinking it as the though set it about the lack of safety protocol between employees. Wasted money, but my health takes precedent. It's not hard to require employees that are working closely AND talking out a window at you, to wear a simple covering... I'd be happy to change my review if this company can get on board with state requirements and recommendations. read more

To be fair, this has been an accumulated visit that I've had at this specific location for over 5 years or so. Every time I visit this location and ordered from them, I am never satisfied with my order. The other locations all over Portland metro and even Vancouver has NEVER disappointed. I always get the same thing and to be honest after a few times in the past of disappointment, I avoid this location. Recently after 4yrs, I decided to try again and maybe it's the staffing BUT NO, it's still the same. The coffee taste burnt like always. HOW?! Is this even possible? I really love black rock but this location just this location.. most people I know also agree the coffee is bitter and burnt tasting, not even enjoyable! Sorry not Sorry! read more

Tried Black Rock Coffee for the first time because it's like a block from the house... Bad attitude and disinterest from the workers was my first clue. First sip confirmed; only thing worse than their first impressions is their coffee. If I wanted dirty burnt bright roasts I would of just had Folgers at home. Never thrown out $15 worth of coffee before. Never again. read more

Was recommended by a former local of Portland and it definitely did not disappoint! We went there about 4 more times while visiting Portland and Vancouver, WA. I tried the Caramel Blondie and the Irish Coffee speciality drinks and WOW the Caramel Blondie has my heart! I can't wait until the Katy, TX location opens! read more

Ordered a Oatmilk Mocha got a normal cow milk mocha. The walk up person took my order then I confirmed the order was Oatmilk with the checkout person making sure it was indeed Oatmilk they sorta sounded unsure then said yes. This was my first and last time at blackrock. Coffee tasted burnt and they messed up a single order with the only alteration being milk type. read more

I love black rock. It's almost an every day purchase for me. But after stopping by this location a few times I think I'll have to stick to my usual location in SW. The employees here are almost all incredibly friendly and efficient at their jobs. But there's a few who refuse to wear masks correctly, and it's incredibly disrespectful. Covid is real and they're working with food. It's common sense that you need to wear your mask properly. I politely asked an employee to pull his mask up correctly, and he pulled it up to below his nose. No, that still isn't correct. It's unfortunate they care for their customers well being so little. read more

Yesterday I ordered Matcha Chill with a shot of espresso. The lady making it thought it will be funny to tell everyone how it looked like diarrhea. Sweetie, it a coffee shop, would't half the stuff look like that!?? but you think it is appropriate to joke about someone's drink loud enough for others, including myself, to hear it? I am mad at myself for not saying anything and asking for my money back because after that I didn't want to drink my "diarrhea" blend anymore. Going to Starbucks from now on because it is THE SAME PRICE AND SO MUCH BETTER SERVICE!! read more

We just came from the airport at about 6am. The girl was nice and worked really fast. I got a hot mocha. It was a little more chocolaty then I liked but it was good. Pretty cheap too which is always a plus. read more

Came here and ordered my normal oat milk matcha latte which is what I get everywhere. Barista asks if we want it how they normally make it: half water half milk ... or all milk. It was a confusing question and I was placed on the spot so I said all milk. Drink was gross, tasted like a dessert. Tip: don't ask customers if they want alternations to the drink that they're not requesting. It's very confusing and results in the wrong decision being made. read more

Even though this is my second favorite location (Millplain in Vancouver is my favorite) this location still gets 5 stars. Really friendly employees, fast service and consistently good coffee. I love the quirkiness and uniqueness of the staff. They make me laugh, even when I'm half asleep because (duh) I haven't had my coffee yet! My favorite drink is definitely the Jackhammer! 4 shots of espresso in a mocha with a pump of vanilla. YUM!!! read more

Great service with a smile as usual :-) These people never disappoint with their service. They will customize whatever order you want. Their drinks are really sweet for me but They'll take it down if you want them to. They usually have fun music going and a great environment. The people inside are lively and trendy. But not with the pretentious attitude like you find at some Portlandy type places. Most of the people at my work like caramel Blondies blended. I prefer the blended redbull smoothies in peach flavor. With a little bit of cream in it they're delicious. And they don't taste like an energy drink at all. It's definitely hidden in a way that's dangerous :-) Check it out. read more

Just another corporate coffee company making sugary drinks. Literally, rebranded starbucks or dutch bros. Gone at least 4 times and always get a black coffee and they always leave the cup 1/4 empty. I guess their in a rush. read more

I like Black rock coffee, but it's time to open inside service! I was trapped in the drive up line yesterday for 20 minutes. The service was very slow, obviously. When I got up to the window to order it appeared their were only 2 people working. They weren't taking orders ahead of reaching the window. It seems there is lots of business but not much service. read more

My boyfriend and I were just minding our business, driving back to the hotel when I spotted this place all by its lonesome. It had the magic word "coffee" on it and I knew we had to stop! The girl that helped us was super nice and patient as it was our first time and we had no idea what to get. She suggested the caramel blondie (which my boyfriend got) and a lavender latte (which I got). This place was STELLAR! My lavender latte was delicious: creamy, just enough lavender, and not overly sweet. My boyfriends caramel blondie was good but I only had one sip since it disappeared on the drive back to the hotel. Overall I say skip Starbucks and those types of things and get something you wouldn't other places or back home! read more

So maybe I have different tastes to everyone else but the coffee sucked and workers were kinda @$$holes. Like the coffee was bad enough that me and my wife just threw it away. read more

This black rock location is already on the bottom for usually long wait times but it's the only one on my way home. Today I got my usual, a large fuel with only the syrup in cup and with the can on the side so I can have it the next day. For the first time the male barista said they couldn't do it??? Like I've done this every week since I start 4:30am shifts at the hospital. He still had the audacity to ask for a tip?? I wish I got his name to file a proper complaint. read more
