Our History

Defining the space between your home and everywhere else.  Black Coffee Northwest is a meeting place rooted in current culture. Our coffee bar has its own personality reflective of those in our community. Black Coffee Northwest is a place where people meet, cultivate relationships, and develop ideas. It's a place for people to step back from the daily hustle and enjoy an exceptional beverage.
We are grounded in excellence.
​Black Coffee Northwest Café and Community Hub is a locally owned Black business. The location has been secured and the equipment is ready to make you the perfect espresso drink. 
This is an amazing opportunity and we thank you in advance for your contribution.
As an added treat, drinks on the menu will be named to celebrate Black culture. Our first drink will be called Melanin Mocha, which is a dark chocolate mocha with a twist. This is your chance to change history, name your very own espresso drink, and support the local Black business.
