    A supposed " bagel "

    This place is really bad. The "bagel" they gave me is literally a hamburger bun! paid $5 for a burger bun.... this place has really gone downhill. very disappointed! pS they use to have real bagels and now are pulling this sneak attack of their customers.... black rock wtf? really awful business model. be transparent with your customers and STOP RIPPING PEOPLE OFF SELLING BURGE BUNS AS BAGLES - THEY ARE NOT BAGLES!!!!

    We traveled with our best friends and we are all coffee lovers. We all consider Black Rock to be our favorite. My husband and I first frequented them when we lived in Oregon (their home state), and were excited to see one on our Tucson trip. Whether you like lattes, chillers, or teas, this is the best. My friend loves her London Fog! Says it is so much better here than competition. My husband and other friend are fans of the latte (no foam), and I love the mocha chiller (decaf) or their hot chocolate (beats chief competitor hands down). As like other Black Rocks, the service is always pleasant and quick.

    Decent coffee. A little overpriced for me, but is a occasional good treat. Black Rock is catered toward coffee drinkers with a sweet tooth. I got a small hot Blackout (hazelnut mocha) on a Tuesday morning. Coffee is $3 with a Teachers or Student ID! The place was empty and with little to no wait time. The interior is very pleasant, and could be a good place to study to hang out. It was worth trying! Not sure if it'd be my first pick for coffee.

    This is officially one of my favorite coffee shops in Tucson! I prefer the service at the Valencia location but the quality of the drinks are the same at either and this one is closer to my house. I tried working inside once but it's a little too chaotic with all of the college students. The Valencia location is walk up and drive through only. I get their vanilla iced latte and it's so smooth and creamy!

    Make sure to turn before the light

    It was OK. I tried the Mai Tai Fuel energy drink (iced) and it had a weird after taste. I wasn't a fan. I was surprised that they had a couple options pertaining to the fuel such as original, sugar free and organic. I'll have to try the coffee drinks and see if those are better. This coffee chain took the place of the previous Starbucks that was in that corner. I read reviews prior to coming and they weren't very good. There was a lot of hype about opening day because they had free drinks all day. It's about a 7 min drive from the freeway once you get off on Congress. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to come here for a drink again. They did have a lot of seating outside which is nice but zero shade. We are in AZ and shade is a must. Make sure you wear sunscreen or sit inside -.- Their point system on their app hasn't been working according to the barista. I downloaded the app beforehand and created an account but she couldn't scan my QR code so I had to provide my phone number at the window to get my points for the purchase.

    Interesting place - lots of coffee & non-coffee choices - not much in the way of food or snacks to go along with.

The location has a beautiful southwestern chic vibe. I love the duality of having a coffee shop/bakery and bar/full dinner -- you can visit any time of day depending on what you're craving. Plus they have a cold fridge, small grocery section, and local artist goodies -- all perfect for getting a desert-themed gift or unique treat for someone. They have so many great alcoholic drink options and said they would be adding mocktails soon. I went with a 'tried but true' dirty gin martini and tried the truffle fries and chips (both gluten free). I'm super excited to come back and try their girl dinner. I also want to thank the servers, chef, and owners for being so kind to my group. We had a coloring night where we brought our coloring books and supplies and they didn't bat an eye and made us feel very welcomed especially with all our questions about their menu!

    We so rarely encounter attitude in Tucson, that our experience at your coffee shop on Saturday…read morereally took us aback. All 4 of us have extensive experience in the hospitality industry and appreciate the stresses. Since we are unfailingly friendly customers, as so many servers are, & because there were only 6 other customers at your coffee shop at the time, sharing our experience is warranted. We visited the Main Gate shop just after noon on Saturday, 4/18. The barista was wearing a cap & O'Neill-branded t-shirt; he has a salt & pepper beard. Requesting my cappuccino in a ceramic cup, he stated, with obvious exasperation, "You can just say 'for here'." He was also visibly irritated when we requested 3 Dirty Chais of various sizes & shot strength, as if this request was overly complicated. We would have ordered food, but he was so unwelcoming we did not. Nor did we linger. We have visited this location other times and have only been treated warmly. Clearly this barista does not represent the customer service your employees normally provide. You can train people to make a good coffee. Training them to be pleasant is more complicated & best documented. Hence, this review. An unpleasant experience like this has no place in Tucson. It's not who we are & it's not who you are either, I know. We hope this gentleman finds another line of work soon
