I also tried the peach mango smoothie, which was perfectly refreshing. The carrot cake was decent, though it seemed like it might be outsourced. That said, the quality of the main food items more than makes up for it. The ambiance of the coffee shop is warm and inviting, and the customer service was excellent from start to finish. Overall, this spot still earns a solid five stars for its consistently great food and welcoming atmosphere!

Although I wouldn't say that they are my absolute favorite place, they are pretty good and are newer to the area. The ice isn't in chunks, which is good, and they do blend pretty well, athough sometimes there is too much on the bottom of the cup and not mixed in. Not a huge deal. The black sugar one is my favorite, and at this point we've tried almost every one. The interior looks modern, and kept clean. My kiddos likes this place, and overall it's a solid place, so we will continue to visit here!

I stopped by this cafe to get some work done since there was a power outage in Spring, and I think…read moreI found my new favorite study spot when I'm in the area! This seemingly small cafe is actually quite spacious; the ambiance was quiet, and the service was friendly. They had a seasonal menu for the fall, so I chose to order the iced Tiramisu latte with oat milk, and the cup was coated in tiramisu (?) syrup. The coffee taste was a bit masked, but overall it was creamy, not too sweet, and had a mocha flavor! The Core Cafe had several unique flavors that I'd love to try, so I look forward to returning. :D

I did not want to go to Starbucks on my way home from H-E-B so I stopped here…read more I ordered a cold brew, which was probably the best cold brew I've ever tasted in my life. It was amazing. The space is huge and had a great cafe vibe. The bookshelf had a couple books and I realized I read almost half of them, very cool. I ordered one blueberry scone, and that, unfortunately, was not great. It took about 15 minutes to get the one scone, while my groceries sat in my hot car. I'd finished my coffee before I got the scone and since a scone is typically very dry it's kinda meant to go with a drink (I mean, why did it take that long to put the scone in the microwave for a minute). I ended up taking it home to have with a home coffee. I bit into the scone and it tasted like straight-up refrigerator. Just nasty. It went straight to the trash. I wish I would have known, I could have saved time and just flushed a $5 bill into toilet instead. But, I can't stop thinking about that cold brew!

I'm surprised that I don't already have our view of this place…read more I used to come here all the time about 8 years ago, but have slowly stopped going out for coffee as much, but mostly because I'm not usually in this area. And so it was a treat for me to make sounds go back to one of my favorite places. The customer service is as great as I remember it, they still do decaf and sugar free, which is what my order usually is, and they have to order out quickly--and most importantly, it is right. I've had almost all of the drinks on the menu at this point, but my favorite is still the cookie and the caramel. I don't know the name of the girl who it served me today, but she was so great and put a smile on my face-- and reminded me that they do have decaf and sugar free options. I'm going to have to come back more often! Especially since I have a new stamp card now!

I stumbled upon this spot while searching for a good boba place close to home--and wow, I'm so glad…read moreI did. I rarely leave reviews, but I'm making an exception (selfishly!) because this place deserves all the attention so it never closes. The Vietnamese iced coffee with ube foam--or honestly, any of their foams--is incredible. It's authentic, strong, and packed with flavor. My personal favorite is the banana Biscoff foam... it's next level. They also make their taro paste in-house, and you can absolutely taste the difference. It's rich, fresh, and doesn't have that artificial flavor you get at a lot of other places. If you're thinking about trying it--do it. Support this small business. You won't regret it.

Staff were nice, place was clean and they had some seating. The cinnamia caught my attention - it was a latte with honey cinnamon and nutmeg. It was not bad. This is a great option if you are doing your morning grocery shopping. They also served pastries. It's not so convenient if you were looking to grab and go as the parking lot can be challenging finding a space. Hence the 4 stars.

What a customer service win!…read more I'm one of those types that craves strong coffee, fruity tea, and water to wash it all down...in that order. My search populated two options, Black Rock being the higher rated, so along with my pup, we made our way to Black Rock. From the exterior alone, I could tell that this was a newer location. Everything felt new, crisp and bright. While I can only speak to the drive thru experience, I was surprisingly impressed. Instead of numbers, we were treated as caffeine deprived friends. The barista smiled and joked and asked us about our day. I was offered napkins with our pup cup, and by the end of the interaction, I truly felt I'd just visited a small mom n pop shop. As for the product, my pup called the Pup cup a win. My toffee delight coffee was sweet but satisfying, and although the strawberry green tea with freeze dried strawberries tasted artificial, I drank the entire thing, and would likely order it again. Kudos to you Black Rock! I foresee this specific location being around for a long time!

When I placed my ordered the nice lady at the counter told me that they weren't fully ready and that she needed to step to the back to decorate them. Wowee! Fresh Kind Cake. After a 10 minute or so wait, they both came out. I took them home and busted open the boxes. After a few sinful bites of each one, I felt sick from the sugar -- but I knew what I was in for. I at some more, haha. In the end, I preferred the traditional cake over the cream cheese. As I look back, I remember seeing advertisement for Mardi Gras drinks. One of those lattes sounds amazing. Will have to go back for one. Oh, and sorry for not posting pics of the King Cakes. I meant to. By time I regained control after getting my munch on, I wasn't proud of the way the cakes looked. I will have to go back and order a fresh cake and share a picture on my next visit. Go check this place out if you haven't. Also, if you're a Mardi Gras fan, you have your little corner of Louisiana on Cypresswood and Stuebner Airline. Bon appetite.

We did go 30 minutes before closing time and I think their system was down, hence why I had to use a third-party app to pay rather than with cash or my card. The establishment was clean, no mess at sight and looked like they were ready to leave for the day, however a lot of people were still stopping by on a Wednesday which perhaps business isn't as busy perhaps? Peach Oolong tea was the choosing of mine and my daughter's was a Brown sugar milk tea. Both were delicious and the staff was kind, just hoped that the service was a little quicker but that is fine. Looking forward to coming back just hope their system is working and maybe not prematurely close.
