| - Had always wanted to try the other Black Rock location but never got to it, but now it's right down the street from me!
Tldr; good coffee, friendly people, nice environment.
I went for the grand opening today where all 16 oz. drinks are free so we got three chillers (blended): Oreo, Irish Coffee, and Blackout. The Irish Coffee and Blackout were their premium drinks but they graciously offered to blend it. The 20 minute wait in line for our drinks were so worth it! It was amazing to not have crushed ice in or blended drinks, something Starbucks needs to work on. Also, the flavor wasn't overwhelming and the coffee is delicious. There wasn't any food to try but I saw the display cases for them so they might have some soon? The drinks are not super cheap nor very expensive, about the same as all the other coffee shops.
Better than the drinks were the staff and the environment. When we were in line, one of the employees explained to us how the drinks are categorized and how they can be ordered. Up at the cash register, Jasmine was super sweet when I asked her about blending my drinks which weren't listed as chillers of the menu. She let me know that they will have punch cards and soon, loyalty cards. Everyone was upbeat and cheerful and friendly, definitely brought a smile to my face.
Lastly, I know that this will be a new study spot for me because of the seating, the decor, and the music! They have a wall that boldly says "Fuel your story" and the furniture is beautiful. Nothing is crowded or cramped and the lighting makes it the perfect place for flawless selfies when procrastinating on things that need to be done
