Black and Brass Coffee Roasting Company

I wanted to love this place. My wife and I drove an hour away to get freshly roasted coffee and were pleasantly surprised when we saw they had hand-crafted espresso drinks. There were two major problems: The coffee is NOT freshly roasted. The bags available on the shelf are also not marked as being pre-ground or not, nor are they dated for freshness. Combine this with the fact that they are placed in direct sunlight without sunshades and you get... Stale coffee. I purchased quite a bit to my dismay upon my arrival home. Second, shots are not pulled correctly here. There was clear channeling happening in the basket, as the espresso left the machine looking closer to cream/water. Also, why do they manually stop shots at 19 seconds? Proper shot extraction time is 28-32 seconds. What resulted for my wife and I was "warm milk" drinks, not espresso beverages (don't get me started on their steaming "technique"). Get a mature staff with certified baristas on hand, not ex-starbucks kids, and this could have been an okay experience. Oh, and waterfall go "wsssshhhhhhh" (Keeping in line with the other reviews)

The beverages are very good; hot or cold. But the real draw is the phenomenal waterfall directly behind the shop. They set out tables and chairs so you can have your favorite drink while watching and listening to this beautiful fall. Very striking, very relaxing..

Super authentic with a dank local vibe inside along with outside seating with a dank view of a waterfall!

I love my Black & Brass coffee. Be sure to ask for extra syrup with flavored drinks though.

Great coffee and sweet spot to sit outside near the waterfall. Happened on it by accident. Glad we stopped!

Delicious ice latte. Very friendly staff! Only thing I didn't like was that my paper straw split before I finished my drink but I'm super glad they're eco-conscious

Great spot for quality coffee and baked goods with a relaxing atmosphere

Great coffee with a natural attraction out back. Scenic waterfall with seating available to admire the view as you sip your coffee.

Good coffee and great service! Plus the awesome backdrop of a waterfall if you're sitting outside.

Love the coffee! Different flavor brewed daily. Just happened to stop on my favorite flavor (Highland Rise). Always love sipping coffee beside the waterfall
