Black Rock Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Beaverton

This is actually a bad review - but we’ve always had great service at this location every time so I’m keeping the five stars they usually deserve.

Today though, oh man, the barista (dark hair, braided pigtails) was super condescending to whomever the younger new guy was that she was training. She herself made the two drinks from our order and if she wasn’t so distracted talking down to the new guy she was training she probably wouldn’t have messed them both up.

Please land your TIE Fighters across the street to avoid getting any plasma dust in the drinks, they are strong...

I go to this location almost every morning and honestly now I’m going to drive out of my way to work to go to a different location. Not only are they consistently so slow they are also so unfriendly and so rude. I ordered a blackberry black tea with a tiny splash of coconut milk on top and I said the word tiny the lady still proceeded to charge me the extra $.70 for less than half an ounce of milk. Normally I wouldn’t be so mad over what I would consider a petty situation but the way the lady was at the window and how she didn’t listen or care about what I said to her blew my mind. I don’t know why I continue to get this location my...
