Logan is such a sweetheart. Helped me think through my order to consider different smoothie options. He was so patient and kind. Warmth like that is hard to beat. read more

I will start by saying this used to be my favorite coffee spot. I have been coming to this location forever. Every once in a while, there's a little burp and that's OK. It happens in every business. But today was absolutely unbelievable. I pulled up and decided to get a medium iced caramel Blondie with a couple extra pumps of caramel. I like it in a 32 ounce cup for the extra ice I like it cold. It went from $6.70 plus the extra $.80 for the caramel. Today it was $10.90 for what.? That's $3.60 more than I usually pay when the young man at the window couldn't explain to me why it was so much more he brought over somebody else and he just told me that's how what it is now. Explanation was because we have to add more for caramel $3.60. Are you serious? You're gonna charge me $3.60 the amount of a regular coffee extra. Will needless to say I did not take the coffee and I will absolutely never go back. There are too many coffee spots around town they don't try to rip you off. And honestly depending on who makes it half the time it's not right anyway so you're paying for something that you have to throw away but you'd rather not complain. But now today was just the icing on the cake. Black Rock, you need to train your employees a little differently as they're not the best I have seen I will miss a couple of the employees that are there that I do appreciate and that make my coffee correct. I will be sure to go to Dutch Bros/Starbucks/10 other coffee shops around. Also be sure that you give them your phone number because a lot of times they forget to ask and you lose out on those free drinks that take 15 coffees to get one. read more

Love their coffee but why are they slow? It seems to always take 10-15 minutes for a latte.

Amazing staff, yummy recommendations, overall excellent customer service and care, truly a great coffee shop to journal or enjoy the vibes read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Iced Americano w/ Chocolate cold foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Love Black Rock coffee. This is one of few places that make sugar free caramel macchiato! I always get it with oat milk and I get an extra shot too as I like my coffee strong and robust! Other coffee concoctions are offered too. The baristas are always happy to see you and friendly. Service is quick. I always use the drive thru!!! read more

A 3.6 stars - not quite a 4. Good coffee, good service and some great food options. Prices are ok. In the past couple of months, I tried Black Rock at least 5-6 times. It has become our go to place when we are in this area in Scottsdale. We've always been there on Sunday mornings, and only tried it once during a working day. I never went in so this review is only based my drive thru experience. Sunday line is not very long but on weekdays, expect to wait a little longer. Coffee here is good. I've tried all my drinks so far hot and with coconut milk. Overall good taste but could be better. I expect the flavor would be different if I was using regular milk. The food options are also good. I tried their veggie burrito. it's tasty and has potatoes in it and comes with a dipping sauce on the side which works very well with it. The wrap has no cheese which is excellent if you are avoiding dairy. They have a salt bagel on the menu. It doesn't say that they add cream cheese but they do unless you mention that you want it on the side (or don't want it at all like me). Although it's called a bagel, it is not a bagel at all however, it is one of the best pieces of bread you will have there! It is a crusty roll that is sooooo good, I enjoyed having it warm, plain without anything! It was so delicious, I ordered it the next time I was there, plain again! Their coffee cake and blueberry muffins are very good and definitely worth a try. I tried some of their gluten free vegan options. The gf vegan banana bread was ok but not my favorite. It was kinda dry and dense. I purchased their gluten free vegan donut last time but didn't try it. Honestly it was so dense, it literally weighed heavy! Also it was very greasy, the grease was coming out of the bag while it sat on the table. As seen in the picture, it looks just ok, like something that a kid might be interested in especially with the sprinkles on top. Give them a try when you are in the area (or if you live close!) if you haven't already. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Vegan donut - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This coffee shop picked the perfect location. 85259 has felt pretty barren when it comes to local hangouts, and this spot finally fills that need. Good coffee, friendly vibe, and a much-needed addition to the neighborhood. read more

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

I come to this Black Rock a lot, and every barista I have talked to has been absolutely lovely! However, the scheduling manager of this location needs to schedule more team members at once. I went through the drive through today and it took 20 minutes (no exaggeration) to get my one fuel (then it cost $9). When I pulled up to the window, I see two baristas scheduled. At 10am? There's a line of 8 cars and I saw the lobby packed with standing customers waiting too. This is absolutely ridiculous and I feel horrible for these baristas. This place does business like Starbucks which often schedules 8-10 baristas for peak like this. And with the prices Black Rock charges for coffee / energy drinks they should easily be staffing 2-3x more employees. One day I came by around 3 (after school rush with Basis and Desert Mountain so close) and there was ONE (1) barista scheduled? Insane! Giving customers and baristas a bad experience for corporate greed is a terrible look / business plan. Disappointed. read more

This review is not based on the quality of the drinks here, which are generally quite good by corporate coffee chain standards - no, this is based on my last few visits which are a culmination through many years of inconsistency, incompetency, and lack of care. The last straw that lead me to write this is a young blonde female that seems new to the store. My first encounter with her, after ordering a drink with light ice, I'm given one filled 75% full of it, to the point where you could finish the drink in two minutes. When your straw can't go through the middle without fighting through an ice wall, it's too full. And I specifically order it this way to be able to savor what I pay for and so the flavors don't get diluted when it melts. Granted, I order americanos which yes, are water and espresso, but they've always managed to accommodate this by adding more water and cream to compensate. I've had this exact drink enough times to know that there is a difference in flavor when filling with ice. Despite that, when I asked her to remake it, she felt the need to tell me an americano is water and espresso and argue about it. Wow, thank you, Mrs. Barista, I didn't know that after ordering this drink hundreds of times! So I said just add more water and cream to fill it up. Then to my shock, she hands me back a drink half-full. I was rightfully annoyed by this point, so I told her fill up the cup. I'm not paying $5+ for half of a drink. What kind of BS is that to pass off to a customer? Does anyone honestly think that's okay to do? The mind boggles. Which brings me to my last visit. I placed a mobile order this time after accumulating enough points needed for a free one, any size. This used to be after 10 drinks (now it's 20), so I always splurge because it's deserved after having to spend over $100 to even get the reward. So I got an XL blended with flavors, extra shots and whipped cream. I specifically placed the order myself to avoid what happened last time, but lo and behold, the same blonde girl ends up making and handing me my order. I pretty much knew as soon as I saw her that I'd get attitude and a problem, and I did, without fail. I point out that she forgot my whipped cream, and instead of apologizing or saying "no problem", she says, "it wasn't on the order, but I'll add it". Okay, now I'm really pissed off. If you make a mistake, just own it! Don't accuse your customer without cause. Or better yet, don't say anything at all and just fix the problem. Why the need for the attitude? Why the need to shame someone for simply wanting what they paid for, the way they asked it? I honestly think this chick has a grudge against me and I don't know why, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. If this is how she treats people asking her to correct her own mistakes, god only knows how she treats truly difficult customers. After the countless times I've had my drink made wrong, the countless times I've needed to have them correct it, and now the ridiculous attitude from this employee that I have no way of knowing when I'll encounter if coming here, I'm done with this location. And that's really inconvenient for me since I live right across the street. I will literally drive 5 miles out of my way to not have to deal with this BS ever again. Get a handle on your employees here Black Rock. I can only imagine how many more encounters like mine will continue for your customers. I'm just a guy who wants my drink made right, consistently. After all the money I've spent with you, I believe I deserve that. And by the way, that last drink wasn't made right either. read more

Shea & 114th st struggled today. I was the only person ordering inside and...no cars at drive thru. It took 3 people almost 5 minutes to pour a coffee and grab a scone. I asked to have the scone cold and it came heated. Three teenagers. A chunky one seemed like he did not care about being at work. Tough to find competent people these days. read more

I wanted to buy gift cards for Christmas. I didn't think I should do it through the drive in so I walked inside. There was a young man taking care of the drive in window and a young lady moving around prepping something. Not a look in my direction. No acknowledgment. Waited. Because of the holidays I did not want to walk away without the gift card, so I stayed put. No mouth out of me... it's the holidays..... But it would have been wonderful to hear, "we'll be right with you: instead of being ignored. The smell of the coffee was amazing btw. Freshly ground coffee smell. mmmmmm. read more

Omg! The Mexican Mocha!!! Ok, I've been on a mocha kick lately. I'm sure it can't be all that healthy but I can't seem to stop myself. I LOVE LOVE the Mexican Mocha here. Hints of almond, vanilla and cinnamon... the taste is too, too good. No idea what their coffee actually tastes like but this mocha tastes incredible. Thankfully there isn't a Black Rock close to my house, or I'd have a problem. Outside patio area here isn't very inviting. Two tables with chairs in the blazing sun. I guess they expect everyone to stay inside to drink their coffee or to drive thru. read more

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

We just came off the Dog Wash Trail and needed coffee. This place was convenient so we stopped in. It felt new so I assume it hasn't been around for too long. The cashier took our order and after a couple of orders were delivered, ours came up. Unfortunately the order was wrong so we had to get the attention of someone behind the bar. This took some doing but eventually the original cashier got involved and immediately decided to remake our drinks. Soon after we were enjoying exactly what we ordered--a Mexican latte and a soy milk latte. Both were excellent. The barista even threw in a free drink for our inconvenience. Parking was easy and the drive-thru seemed constantly busy at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Definitely worth checking out one of these coffee shops closer to our place. read more

The coffee here is pretty good, though it doesn't quite reach the level I'd expect. The overall vibe is nice and inviting, but some of the employees can come off as a bit bratty, which detracts from the experience. read more

Great coffee just opened on 5/1, came here to get a cup of latte with lavender. It's only available drive thru for now but it was really easy to order. The staff spoke clearly and repeated my order to make sure I am getting exactly what I wanted. Easy credit card at the pick up window, it was very quick. They give you an option to add tips to your credit card. Latte was very good, rick and creamy. I just love my latte with lavender. Since I signed up for their loyalty program, I will be coming here often. read more

Black Rock Coffee Bar - Loved their coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Popped in here with a 13 drink order over the weekend for a much needed coffee run and the folks here did such an amazing job! It definitely took a while to get through our entire order, but we were happy with the coffee. We ordered: Iced White Mocha Pumpkin Blondie Nitro Cold Brew Iced Latter with Oat Milks Shaken Iced Tea Iced Caramel Blondie Iced Caramel Truffle Mint Chip Chiller Iced Mexican Mocha Fuel Slushy Lots of good feedback on the Iced Mexican Mocha and the Nitro Cold Brew. I got the pumpkin blondie as well and thought it was yummy though not a ton of pumpkin flavor. Recommend adjusting the sweetness to "half sweet" if you aren't fan of super sugary coffee! :) read more

This BR is in a very beautiful location with a gorgeous view of the McDowell Sonoran Park. The premises is clean with nice work table and lounge chair seating. There is ample parking and also in the shopping center lot. I subtract a star for staff socializing too loudly amongst themselves in front of customers and the music gets really annoying-repetitive of the same genre. read more

Black Rock Coffee Second time at this location, first time was at Grand Opening and the drive thru line was so long we did not have time too wait, so today they had a promotion for $2 any medium drink so we decided to give it a try again. I am not a coffee drinker, so it would not be fair for me to rate the coffee type drinks, so I ordered a Strawberry Smoothie. The Strawberry Smoothie I thought was very good, I prefer a slushie, because sometimes if the smoothie contains dairy products it just does not set well with me. I enjoyed the icy portion of the smoothie and the blend and texture of the smoothie was very good, however later in the day, I discovered that there must have been some dairy products included. The coffee portion of the review was by my daughter and wife. My daughter could be pretty demanding and particular about her coffee, she ordered the Mexican Mocha iced and she loved it. She loved the taste and the flavor of the coffee, she generally prefers Dutch Bros and Bikini Bean as her favorite coffee drive thrust but would place Black Rock Coffee up with them. Caramel Truffle was ordered by my wife and she loved the taste and flavor. She would recommend this drink and the medium size was plenty for all of us. Coming from the west, not easy to find or see until you are right on 116th street, the building is just a bit North of Shea so not right on the corner. read more

An absolute win based on one visit! Open super early on a Sunday morning. Giant latte, giant coffee and some kind of tasty pop tart like bakery thing. Still thinking about how good it was weeks later. read more

Super friendly and welcoming staff but when three different people tell you : "  I'll be right with you "  within 30 seconds of your arrival it gets old and tiresome. The store is very clean and has got plenty of seating. The coffee is good and the pastries looked great and I even bought a pretty cool looking mug ! read more

I was visiting Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale and desperate for a latte early in the morning. This place was a great find!

Really great coffee, and to be fair I'm not much of a coffee drinker. But compared to stark bucks which is terrible in every sense of the word. Black Rock Coffee is awesome. Prices are right the staff is friendly and most importantly the coffee is really good. read more

Super nice staff and quality, consistent coffee! I always bring my dog in the drive thru and they're always so sweet! I love the cold brew and the rewards program is really good. read more

First time visiting inside this store on this beautiful windy Saturday morning. I ordered a large vanilla latte with oat milk and an extra shot of espresso, my man ordered an Americano and the server asked if I wanted a puppyccino which YES of course for my lil fur baby . Store was super modern and clean. We ended up sitting outside on the front patio where they were playing fun 80's music. I love black rock coffee over Starbucks lately. It seems to have a more smooth coffee taste rather than burnt taste like Starbucks has, in my opinion. I see these stores popping up all over the valley. SO yum, go get you a cup of satisfaction to start your day! read more

I had a great experience here. It seems to be a convenient location, and the store is branded in a really fun and attractive way. The baristas were friendly and the line was not too long. I appreciated they had an unsweetened matcha option, and a variety of sizes. The treats looked good but I didn't try anything as we were going out to breakfast. Next time! read more

Good coffee but long drive through line all the time. That's the reason I always think twice of going here .

Worst service at this location. Line is super long and not even using the speaker box in the Drive thru.

Oh my gosh, finally a Black Rock in our area. Wasn't able to go inside But was able to order some pretty spectacular drinks through the drive-through. Their beans must be made from gold because I've never had such a great cup of coffee before. Their staff was super friendly and black rock by far is the best coffee spot in town. If you haven't tried it before, go now! Take the opportunity to stop by black rock for your next cup of joe. read more

Vanilla Spice Latte is absolutely delicious. Pair it with one of their yummy rice krispy treats and be completely delighted. read more
