About Us
Fueling Stories Since 2008
Our story began in 2008 inside a 160 sq ft drive-thru in Beaverton, Oregon. Founded by family, rooted in hospitality, and driven by a desire to bring light to grey Pacific Northwest mornings, we set out to build something simple but meaningful — a place where coffee could fuel connection.
People First
Black Rock Coffee Bar is about more than just a good cup of coffee - it's about the people who make it happen.
Our baristas are the soul of every interaction. They’re the storytellers, the connectors, the quiet heroes of the everyday. With each pour and every warm smile, they create far more than beverages — they create moments. They become part of morning rituals, offer calm in the rush of the day, and often feel like the familiar friend who knows just how you like it. Through them, coffee becomes a bridge — to conversation, to comfort, to community.
Coffee With Purpose
Simply put, our baristas make things better.
Because in the end, it’s not just what’s in the cup — it’s who’s behind it.
Our Journey
Today, we’re more than a coffee company. We’re a community grounded in connection and built by incredible people who care deeply. As we look ahead, we’re committed to staying true to what started it all — real moments, shared stories, and the kind of connection that can only happen over a great cup of coffee.
From the very beginning, every guest, every barista, every team member has helped shape us. As we've grown from a single stand into a family of locations across multiple states, our mission has remained unchanged: to be a positive force in people’s daily lives, one cup at a time.
This journey has never been just about business. It’s been about people. The ones behind the bar, in the drive-thru, and across the counter. The ones who wake up early, stay late, and show up with intention and heart — every single day.
We fuel people forward — one connection, one moment, one cup at a time.
