I used to go to Black Rock on a regular basis. Winter of 2024 I went to Alaska to work for a couple of months came home to find Black Rock had removed my 13 free drink points this is a fair amount of points. It was a fight that took about 6 weeks however I did get them replaced. Winter of 2025 I went back to Alaska for work. When I came home I found that my 10 free drinks worth of points had again been removed. However this time nobody seems to want to do anything about it. I wonder if they understand that even 10 free drinks worth of points is somewhere between $600 and $900 spent at their location. For this reason I will no longer be using Black Rock. Therefore I give it one star or I would not have been able to leave a review if I could I would have left a review of zero at this point. I know I have no other coffee vendors that treat their customers in this manner.

Love the caramel Blondie frozen drink.
I highly recommend! Not only do they make the best flavored energy drink I've had, their service is always impeccable! 9 times out of 10 my drink is already ready when I order ahead, and if it's not they acknowledge me and have it out in less than 3 minutes. So friendly! Great experience overall!

Repeatedly making an order the opposite of the way it is ordered is hilarious but in a pathetic way. It’s called having a job. Doing what you’re told. That’s what you’re agreeing to do when you become employed is to do what you’re told…. In customer service, that means following the instruction of the customer. Starbucks employees don’t have a problem with your triple pump mocha iced vanilla swirl caramel cupcake bullshit. Good lord. Maybe the hiring manager needs to be re evaluated. Clearly they aren’t bringing the right people in to represent this business… I really need to drive across town to get my drink, with all 3 ingredients, made correctly? Are you hiring dyslexic people??!
Fast and friendly
Rip off
Worst location ever been to - Kid with long hair at the drive through this morning was rude and the drink tasted so bad couldn’t even have a second sip. Please re-train your employees.
Amazing staff, and amazing coffee! Always appreciate my experience here
Great coffee

Waited for coffee for more than 15 minutes, when prompted at the counter, turns out they just simply forgot about my order.

I don’t know if this is just me getting older and tastebuds changing or what but I used to love black rock. However, last week I went because haven’t been in a really long time and I needed to get a coffee on the way to where I was headed. I got a medium iced pumpkin spice latte with oat milk which cost me $8!!!! I’m sorry, but not even Starbucks charges that much for a venti (large)!!! What made it worse is I couldn’t even taste any sort of coffee flavor just straight sugar! I’m leaving this review for anyone who is like me and doesn’t want to just drink straight sugar, go somewhere else!
Black Rock has a great white mocha, the staff at this location was incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was very quiet and cozy while I was there.

Generally, I don't leave reviews, but I feel that I had to make an exception for this place. I've been coming here for a while to get the student discount coffee every Tuesday and it's never disappointing! For a while it was $3 for a medium coffee or large fuel and now it is $4. I can understand this change, and wasn't too bothered by this. Something that does bother me however is the rewards changes.
I used to receive a free drink for every 10 drinks I purchased. Now with the new bolts system, I get 8 bolts every time I buy a student discount drink, meaning I need to buy 22 discounted drinks to be able to redeem just a free medium drink, 27 for an any size drink!! That's a large increase, especially considering I'm paying more for the discounted drink than I used to.
Spending $94 on coffee to redeem one free medium drink is not a reward. I know many students who love coming here to study and get a nice cup of coffee. Do better.
