Scottsdale, AZ, May 16, 2026 – Just when you thought Phoenix couldn’t possibly accommodate another drive-thru coffee spot, Black Rock Coffee Bar is proving there’s always room for more.
The Oregon-born boutique coffee company, known for its strong brews and even stronger energy drinks, is expanding its footprint in the Valley with two brand-new locations opening this week. And yes, they’re bringing the deals.
The first new store, located at 16 W McKellips Rd in Mesa, is set to open its doors on Wednesday, May 20th, officially.
Hot on its heels, a Tempe location at 2030 E Elliot Rd will follow suit, opening on Thursday, May 21st.
To celebrate, both new spots are offering $3 medium drinks all day on their respective opening days, with exclusive sticker giveaways continuing into the following day. This isn’t just a couple of new cafes; these openings push Black Rock’s impressive Phoenix presence to a staggering 57 locations, cementing its status as a major player in the local caffeine scene.
“As we continue expanding across the Valley, we’re grateful for the enthusiasm and support we’ve received from the community,” said Mark Davis, CEO of Black Rock Coffee Bar.
It’s hard to argue with that enthusiasm when the growth is this rapid. What’s the secret sauce? Perhaps it’s the brand’s unique blend of handcrafted beverages and its distinct Fuel energy drinks, a customizable alternative to traditional coffee that resonates deeply with a certain demographic.
Black Rock isn’t just about the caffeine kick, though that’s certainly a draw. Their menu boasts signature coffee creations like the sweet and creamy Caramel Blondie, the spiced Mexican Mocha with hints of vanilla, almond, and cinnamon, and the potent Jackhammer—a vanilla mocha supercharged with an extra double shot.
Beyond coffee, their in-house developed Fuel® energy drink offers over 20 fruit flavors for a personalized boost. They’re also expanding their food options, recently launching savory Egg Bites, and for those looking for a protein punch, new Protein Cold Foam, Protein Boosted Milk, or a simple Protein Boost can be added to any drink.
And just in time for the warmer months, Black Rock is rolling out limited-time summer offerings. Expect nostalgic vibes and bold flavors from the Fudge Brownie Mocha, Blueberry Cobbler Latte, and a Juice Box Fuel Energy drink.
For the health-conscious soda fan, their new Mystery Dirty Pop combines OLIPOP Dr. Goodwin with a creamy berry twist. It’s clear they’re not afraid to experiment and cater to evolving tastes.
Founded as a family-owned and operated business in Oregon in 2008, Black Rock Coffee Bar has grown into a national boutique chain with over 190 retail locations across seven states.
The company prides itself on fostering a positive environment, not just for its customers but also for its team members, championing the “4G’s” of grit, growth, gratitude, and grace. Their consistent expansion in a competitive market like Phoenix, now reaching close to sixty locations, speaks volumes about their ability to connect with local communities and deliver a product that keeps people coming back.
So, for Mesa and Tempe residents, get ready to experience the Black Rock phenomenon. Whether you’re chasing the next caffeine high, a customizable energy drink, or simply a friendly face, these new locations are poised to become popular fixtures.
Just make sure to mark your calendars for those $3 medium drink days; they won’t last long.
