Cute place, inside a hot tub /spa place. Great service, didn't have to wait to long. Friendly staff. I got the pink Starburst lotus drink and it's delicious!

I was up at the Lakes this past week and reached out on an Okoboji Facebook page about coffee shops in the area. I received lots of great suggestions, so I tried a different place every morning. I ordered the same drink at each location (iced turtle latte with skim milk), and while they were all good, there was one that rose to the top - Black Earth Java. It was so delicious that I had to go back a second time. I’m giving it an A+ for its perfect blend of syrups, the only place that offered whip on top, plenty of drizzle, and topped with a chocolate covered coffee bean. It was quite heavenly. ❤️
It will be my go-to coffee stop whenever I’m back in the lakes area. Thank you for a great experience!

Awesome drinks and even better service!

Coffee was fine, just takes a long time standing in line to order. Probably 15 min to order and 10-15min for your order. The spot they are in is pretty cool, so we sat around while our 5yr Old played with the kids coffee set

Black Earth does a great job! Best coffee in the lakes area, hands down. Owners are engaged heavily in their business and that attention to detail and quality definitely shows.

Always a good experience at Black Earth Java in Spirit Lake. Expansive drink menu with lots of room for specialization of your favorite drink. Staff always greet with a smile.

Absolutely fantastic service, fun location, fun drinks, and also the bearded guy is extremely nice. Unlike others who try to imitate them, BEJ stays winning. Overall, had a blast at this drive through location!
$2 for oat milk is outrageous! A dollar is understandable and common at most coffee shops, but that is a wild price to charge for non-dairy milk.

This is the best staff, coffee, and environment combo! Every staff member is extremely sweet and attentive to needs of customers. I don’t typically tip baristas at large chains, but here it’s at least 20% every time. Their kindness has brightened my day more than I can count. I’m not sure of her name, she has a nose ring and dark red/brown hair, but she helped me today and apologized for the wait in such a genuine matter. I have seen her before and hope to see her each time after. She’s my Java queen ❤️

Edit: I waited behind some customers who had already ordered and were waiting at the counter. I can assure the company that it happened as I was actually there. I tried to kill some wait time looking at the items for sale and chatting with the couple of customers who were waiting for their drinks. I noted that one of the customers' drinks had to be remade at least once because the barista spilled it. Overall it was an unpleasant experience. Especially being passed over multiple times in favor of drive through customers who arrived after me. Good luck with your small business. My advice to those wanting to try the coffee would be to go through the drive through.
I waited for 30 minutes inside and was ignored for the drive through customers who got there after me. Very frustrating and poor service. Left without ordering.

The drinks are good but they overcharged way to much and they gave me the wrong food multiple times
