Black Velvet Coffee | Espresso Bar

I love their coffee. It’s wondering because better than I expected. In addition, staff is very nice.

Stopped by while touring through Mammoth, and was delighted by the warm, inviting environment, especially as it was an early morning for me. They provide a broad menu of coffees and teas, the latter which was a delightful surprise. I ordered the cactus nectar tisane and picked up a bag to bring home as well. They also advertised wine servings and wine nights. I didn’t have a chance to sample their baked items but they did look appetizing.

Jake made my waffle IN 10 SECONDS! it was wild and the waffle was perfect

Great coffee varietals for avid coffee goers and also those just interested in good, simple options. Also, highly recommend the churro waffle if looking for a quick bite. Cute decor and good laid back mountain vibes. Definitely check it out!

BV is a great place to enjoy high quality coffee drinks and teas. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the 3 - level space is relaxing and unique.

Bradley was so friendly even when he was clearly very busy. Latte is fantastic as well! Will definitely be back next time I'm in Mammoth.

If you want great coffee that is roasted properly and prepared with care, then Black Velvet is your place!... reviewed 1st time back in 2014...
.... April, 2021... updated my review from 5 stars to 2 stars... employee skills have dropped... prices have gone up even more! And they were high 7 years ago!
I was hoping new owners would take it to new level... it's worse!!
I used to come here 4 or 5 afternoons a week... tried it 5 times since March 1st... not coming back.

Fantastic espresso! Friendly and knowledgeable staff in a pretty cool building.

Bonus information: I went on the recommendation of a stranger at the bar the night before. I really couldn't have imagined a better way to start my cold morning, and I really hope you take the time to get suggestions from the locals while you're here. The whole experience, from the recommendation, to the final sip of espresso, secured a very special place in my heart for the entirety of Mammoth Lakes.

Great third wave coffee shop. Pour over was tasty and they have some cool cold brew methods I’d love to check out when it’s not snowing! The shop is three floors with lots of nice seating options. I wish they had organic milk, they have raw milk which is awesome but it doesn’t make any sense to heat raw milk for a latte as you’d end up neutralizing a lot of the raw benefits. I’ll definetely be back.

Sooo delicious! They use real spices and purees! I had the pumpkin spice version and had to go back for another the next day. My hubby loved the ginger latte. The four kids also loved their pumpkin versions- and it's fairly low sugar! Great treat after playing in the snow.
