Black Elm Coffee

The employees so far have been super chill, the coffee is tasty, lattes well made, and food is levels above Starbucks across the street. This place will continue to be my weekly morning drive-thru even if there has been the occasional mistake (mix up with drink and ran out of toast for avocado toast before 830am once). "Pobodies Nerfect."

Also a nice vibe inside to meet with friends, chill on couches and read, use WIFI, etc.

Best coffee shop I’ve ever been to! I’m a daily customer. The Cuban is my favorite but they have a lot of other drinks that are just yummy. I only buy their coffee to brew at home it’s that good!!!! Also, the people that work there are very friendly and I enjoy having conversations with them!

I always love stopping by this shop when I’m in the area. Their baristas are always so kind, the coffee is always on point, and I CRAVE their baked goods! Sumner county’s best espresso hands down!

Coffee was top notch, breakfast sandwich was low-key one of the best I've had.. Eggs were fluffy, cheese was rich and creamy, bacon was thick cut, totally worth the trip if you are considering a high end option for a reasonable price. Even the staff was happy and kind.

I've been a Black Press regular going on 4 years now, and not by accident. The staff is always fun to interact with and skilled at what they do, and that has been the case even as baristas come and go. There's a sense of community here, and I've made genuine friends simply from being in the space often enough. Good for a quick stop as you pass through, and good for a new coffee shop home if you need one.

We always check out local coffee places and went to the Black Press becauseof their great reviews. The first thing we noticed was how good it smells in there, because they roast their own coffee ☕☕😁
The facility is very clean, the staff is very friendly and wearing a mask 😷 which we appreciate during times like this, and our order was done within minutes.
We ordered a Cuban to go which was so good!
Highly recommended.

This place is an absolute fave of mine! The coffee and really any of the lattes are always on point and I love how they make their overnight oats. Highly recommended if you want great, consistent service and solid iced/hot beverages(you really can’t go wrong) ☕. Shoutout to Aris for always getting the latte just right and being so kind whenever we have a quick chat in the drive thru!

True test of a coffee shop is to get their drip or their Americano in my case because I had a half caff ( maybe given the demand there's not many roasters making decaf through a Swiss water process which is why I buy mine out of state from Roasters I know) it would be nice just to get a decaf drip versus having to do the Americana route however there Americana came out amazing great rich flavor smooth and velvety. The two servers at the front had great personalities to welcome you in at 6:30 in the morning.

Black Press holds a special place in my heart, and it’s not just because I’m a regular customer. The experience I’ve had at Black Press has been nothing short of exceptional, and it’s all thanks to the remarkable team behind the scenes. In particular, I’d like to give a shoutout to Aris Tyler and Kavy, who have not only made every visit a memorable one but have also become like friends over time.
Every time I step through the door, I’m greeted with a genuine warmth and enthusiasm that’s truly remarkable. It’s not just about the excellent coffee they produce; it’s about the sense of community they’ve cultivated.Aris, Tyler,and Kavy have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure that my experience is top-notch. Their dedication to customer service and their passion for what they do shine through with each interaction. It’s not just transactional; it’s personal, and that’s what sets Black Press apart. But it’s not just these three outstanding individuals; the entire team at Black Press contributes to this warm welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend coming here!!

Amazing coffee. As some one who has helped launch specialty coffees, I'll confess that while I was in the shop I texted former partners to say I finally found something on par with our work! And the food is great---for example, the blueberry muffin is just better than anywhere else, the avocado toast is just better than anywhere else, etc.

If you love good quality coffee, this is the best place around! It’s got the quality of a really snoody coffee place but without any of the snoody-ness. I’ve been a regular here for a few years and I spend more time here than just about anywhere else.

The people who work here are great and they are all skilled at what they do.

Super fun and friendly staff. I get my coffee here every morning and I’m always greeted with a smile. The coffee is fantastic and the service is top notch. Would definitely recommend.

Good coffee! Lots of options if you want some foo foo coffee. The Black Press roasted their own beans and I found the coffee smooth and no burnt flavor. I had the Mexica which is the coffee they had on drip today. They also offer sweet eats from Five Daughters Bakery. I did not partake of the eats but will next visit. I would highly recommend The Black Press for a quick stop coffee or a sit and sip.

Ordered an iced bourbon maple latte with oatmilk, and a decaf latte with oatmilk. Both were so tasty! We just got ours to go but the vibe was spectacular and if I lived in town this would be my go to shop!

Great coffee, fun atmosphere and the barista was very well versed in the different coffees, espresso and pour overs. My bf and I had a blast playing connect 4, wish that it was a bigger store but there's not much they can do to control that! Would highly recommend and I would love to go back!

This is by far the best local coffee shop! To be honest, it’s better than some very large chains we all know, and the prices are better. My favorite coffee drink is the Cuban with lavender. I love that it actually tastes like coffee and not flavored milk. Kudos to everyone that works there. They are all very friendly.

Such a cozy and friendly shop. It’s very chill, not crowded at all. My barista was very pleasant with everyone prior to me. They remember their regulars and their coffee is STROOONGGG! Best coffee in town. Shout out to Movement Church for their recommendation to this place. A blessing indeed.

Love the Cuban! The standard was delicious as well. Great atmosphere and staff, Tyler was a fantastic host! I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area, but the female staff member with short hair spoke to Tyler in such a demeaning tone that was NOT appreciated. All around, fantastic place!

Best coffee I ever had! Absolutely gorgeous place with a quality coffee and bakery goods. The staffs are very nice as well.
&& you must try the Cuban coffee!

I went almost every day for about a month and can’t recommend enough. Big wins for me: all employees are properly wearing face masks, they use Oatly oatmilk, coffee/espresso is high quality, all their staff is really kind. My one suggestion for Black Press would be to create a parklet out front in the parking lot (equivalent to about 1 or 2 parking spaces). Having nice outdoor seating would be icing on the cake!
