Black Velvet Coffee | Espresso Bar

The work space in here is great. But the iced lattes I’ve gotten are super weak, and need stronger espresso because they taste like just milk. Lastly they make you wait at the counter for your order to be ready which is sort of a strange system and more annoying then just ordering and finding a seat and waiting for your name to be called.

Great coffee for home, probably best beans in Mammoth. Good coffee in house as well with great atmosphere, study spot, rest rooms, merch. Also great community partner as they have the drop off and pick up for Torrey veggie boxes. Awesome branding!

Great place, but part of how you pay for your drink is by waiting in a crazy-slow line.

Visit date April 23, 2022 about 3pm. The coffee may very well be great, but I wouldn't know because I walked out after waiting in a line that had no movement for 20 minutes. Several others in line followed me out and we actually ran into each other at another coffee shop. Two people working there, but a line flowing out the door (afternoon so not even peak time). One girl making espresso and the guy (with earrings) just cleaning wine glasses as 10+ people stood in line. I guess that wine glass was more important than paying customers.

Muffin was dry and thoroughly mediocre. The Cortado on the other hand was top notch. The espresso at this place is the real deal

Lovely place, good coffee and very nice staff. Will go again !

I've tried several places in the Mammoth area and honestly this is the best coffee there in my opinion. The baristas make your order right in front of you and you can tell they are all trained and skilled. Its a small detail but I really appreciate that they mix the espresso and milk when you order a latte! I got the Horchata latte in the morning and it was so good I went back for a second cup in the early evening. Great service, great coffee, great pastries. Definitely can't wait to come here in winter to enjoy a hot beverage.

The coffee was good but waffles were undercooked. We ate them anyway cuz were super-hungry but wouldn’t order again.

Very professional, warm, and courteous service with a smile!! Product is good too. :)

We got the Horchata Latte and the Ginger snap Chai for $6 each and we loved both. Great spot for quality coffee and good service. Looks like the downstairs seating is for coffee and upstairs is for wine but the whole vibe of the place is cool.
