Black Oak Coffee Roasters

I've never been to this place but I'm giving it a 5 star. Why? Because I was lucky enough to get a bag of Redd and it was an incredible coffee! The fruit forward coffee bean reminded me of this bag of coffee I got from Columbia (which was mind blowing, no surprise there right?) So yeah, I cannot wait to get up here and try out the cafe!

Served me a double shot espresso in an actual ceramic cup, very impressed. Most coffee shops serve all drinks in a to go cup. A very insignificant detail but it matters in my opinion as if you sip espresso like I do the espresso gets colder much faster. Impressed with cleanliness of Everything and the staff seem passionate about working there. Food was amazing had the pesto Turkey sandwich and the double shot espresso, the espresso it’s self was very good and pleased my pretentious little pallet. All jokes aside this place is great and relatively inexpensive considering the area and average price of food now a days. Black Oak Coffee Roasters exceeded my expectations and may be my new favorite coffee shop in the area!

I've been going here for about five years. They've done a lot of work on this place in the last year and I like the direction it's going in. The almond churro cookies are divine. I also really like the breakfast burritos with sour cream and salsa. Those were improved from the earlier model 😂 I usually just get a latte and the coffee quality is usually consistent. They also sell their own coffee and from what I've tried it's a little pricy, but good. I like that you can order ahead online. It would be cool if the online option let you use PayPal imo. They can get really busy since they're kind of the only option in town for fancy local coffee, which means you might be waiting a bit even if you order ahead. They have lots of seating inside and out, and the art is usually really amazing. I've bought a few art pieces from there as well. The parking lot can be a little bananas if it's busy. Also the new bags are really nice, but I do miss the look of the hand stamped cups.

I find that even their bold coffee is smooth and easy to drink. Often I need half and half to take the edge off but I drank it black and it was a delight to the last drop. They also have tasty pastries. Try the buttermilk jam pastry. It's a nice venue too. The counter staff is friendly, very helpful and patient. It would definitely be worth your while to get off 101 to State Street to pay them a visit. It's not that far and there is parking.
