I was so glad to learn this coffee shop is under new management and open for business. I really like their unique, self-roasted, coffee beans. I usually get the latte. Today, my companion ordered the chai latte. Both were delicious.
The orange scone was okay (a bit bready) and the pecan scone was really good (more crusty and texture).
Super friendly staff. Owner is doing good things here. I am excited to return!

Decided to try this on a whim as I was in the area for work. Great experience. I very much enjoyed the atmosphere as I walked in, they do the dark wood interior look quite well!
The young gentleman at the register was very kind and recommended the Black Iron latte, a recommendation I was thankful for. It has a very nice flavor, and not too sweet. The blueberry and lavender scone I had was also delicious, and again not too sweet. I’d make a return trip here even though I don’t live in the area. Thank you!

I wish I would’ve gotten a picture of it. But their cinnamon roll is one of the best cinnamon rolls that I’ve ever had. Also, their black Iron syrup goes great with any cold brew.

Wow, the coffee here is outstanding! We tried a flat white latte, and a cappuccino with toasted marshmallow syrup, both delicious! The added syrup was just enough to give it flavor, not overly sweet, the rich taste of the coffee was the star. We also enjoyed both a savory scone (caramelized onion and cheddar) and a sweet one (maple pecan)…great texture and flavor for both! Very friendly service as well, we will definitely plan to come back!

Very cozy coffee shop! It’s inviting and a great spot to catch up with a friend, read a book, or do some studying.
I got a hot oatmilk latte with their housemade black iron syrup. Would highly recommend! Will definitely come back to try other flavors if I should find myself in the area again.
Also got a grilled cheese sandwich, and it passed the cheese pull test!
Hung out for an hour or two with my friend while we ate, yapped, and sipped away.

Best coffee shop I have ever been to- and I consider myself a bit of a coffee shop expert. Their chai is better than anything I have ever had. Perfect atmosphere, fantastic coffee, and amazing staff. The owner is friendly and the staff is amazing and seem to love what they do! They deserve every award they have received!

I stopped by Black Iron Coffee and treated myself to a peppermint mocha, and wow—what a treat! The balance of rich chocolate and refreshing peppermint was absolutely perfect, and the quality of the coffee was exceptional. I also had the pleasure of chatting with Jason, and I have to say, he and his staff are absolutely amazing—so friendly and welcoming. The cozy atmosphere and excellent customer service made the experience even better. If you’re looking for a great coffee spot with delicious seasonal flavors, Black Iron Coffee is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu!

I went to black iron coffee with a friend and I was so impressed by not only the delicious coffee, but the friendly staff. It seems harder and harder to go somewhere and actually have the workers be kind and talkative. I loved that! The atmosphere is also very nice and it’s just such a cute spot! Highly recommend!

I love this place. Such a cozy comforting vibe with amazing lattes (especially the lavender or chai lattes, phenomenal). I always look forward to whatever flavor scones they’ll have available for the week, as they’re always changing but in such a fun way. I’ve never been disappointed.
