Black Rifle Coffee Company — Restaurant in Texas

During my birthday week, my husband and I came in to this side of town to try some different barbecue places, and what else do I love as much as barbecue? Fun drinks, that's what. He found a place to go to which is different from the norm, which happened to be this coffee place.

Did I feel weird walking in here wearing a hijab in all my non-whiteness? Kind of! Did I also walk in with a giant rainbow umbrella and a toddler to a coffee shop? Definitely! Was it raining outside? Yep, but no one asked so I didn't tell. (See what I did there?)

I loved the military theme because I grew up watching reruns of MAS*H. It wasn't Hawkeye who took our order, but a man who, by all other descriptions, could be intimidating to a normal person with his large tattoos and even larger muscles. I don't like to comment on people's physical appearance, but this is a compliment and more than that--he was totally on theme with this establishment. And if there's one thing I love, it's dedication to a theme.

They have a little gift shop inside with clothes and coffee cups, and I had not seen prior to coming in that this place was not a single small local coffee place, but multiple locations. I think with they could be the buccees of coffee shops.

I did not look up this place much before we went in, which is not the norm for me, but I didn't see that they had something with blackberry and I wanted to come in and get something with that. I told someone at the register that I saw something with blackberry online and want whatever it is. They said that they have a blackberry syrup and the woman said that she would be able to put black berry syrup in lemonade for me, which was fantastic. She used Simply Lemonade, which, is great, and something I buy often, but I was hoping they would have their own fresh made Lemonade. If they don't have fresh lemons, and don't want to start making fresh lemonade, I would suggest to also have the option of diet simply lemonade just to have that sugar free option. Just a bit of constructive criticism.

Muscle man brought us out a warmed chocolate chip cookie that we ordered for our toddler, and gave it on the house which was very kind of them. I tried my girls cookie and it was literally the most perfect cookie. Beautiful, picturesque, warm, with crunchy edges and a chewy middle.

I wanted to buy a dozen cookies on the spot, but controlled myself, and vowed to come back in the future-- for the cookies, and to try their coffees when I'm not already caffeinated up. I love that they have their own coffee bags available to purchase. I will be back, BRCC, I...

This is my favorite coffee shop.

Founded by and for military veterans, this shop bears a very right-wing vibe. The radio plays a mix of country and classic rock constantly. The decor consists of images of guns, tanks, patriotic iconography, and more.

That said, I am everything but a right-winger: I am a left-leaning, long-haired, Satanic schoolteacher. But I still love it here. I feel welcome here

Speaking of the military, this place offers military discounts. What is more, they participate in all kinds of veteran charities. This organization would qualify as what the owner of While Foods referes to as "conscious Capitalism."

My drink of choice is a decaf oat milk latte with an extra shot. Here, unlike the same order at Starbucks, I can actually taste the espresso. So, the quality of the drinks and baristas is high!

My second drink of choice is Americano. Most places, their Americano just tastes like waiting room coffee. But the Americano at Black Rifle actually has its own unique flavor, and it's good.

They have good snacks too. My favorite is the Combat Kolache, and my son's favorite is the Sausage-Egg-and-Cheese Waffle sandwich.

Speaking of kids, I bring mine here every chance I get. We hang out, have drinks, eat snacks, and play Candy Land. So if you're looking for a family-friendly place, this place is it.

I said I am a school teacher earlier. On my days off, I come here and work.i grade papers, I plan lessons, and I write curricula. Sometimes I stay for four hours. I feel comfortable doing so with their free wifi and comfy couches.

Speaking of being a teacher, I have been given an educator discount every time I have come here.

In short, COME TO BLACK...
