A great little coffee shop offering everything from quality coffee to good food and beer. If you’re a climber you’re bound to run into your friends at this spot before heading out to the boulders.
Stop by for their cappuccino. Welcoming staff and mountainy vibe. A portion of their coffee beans is directly sourced.
I loved this place, the burritos breakfast are super tasty and they have the best cappuccino I have ever tried in the region!
Best coffee in Bishop! They roast locally and know their beans. Their drip is impeccable. Really nice baristas and good food. They brew with Bishop water, which is known for its cleanliness and purity. You can really taste the difference!
The cuttiest place in the area. Come here for hit drinks on cold weather. Incredible design, delicious food and an excellent service. Dont miss this place!
The best espresso since I left Finland and ended up in Bishop, USA. I know. No flying. The best coffee on land and ocean.
Great coffee—especially the drip coffee, wow! Their beans are great and they have great art up on the walls. The back deck is sunny and peaceful, off the main drag.
We love love love this coffee! The staff couldnt have been more helpful in helping us choose our coffee beans. We cant wait to get back to Bishop to enjoy an excellent cup of coffee!
Lovely place but latte tasted a little bit light. I wish the espresso is stronger. But it has a great chill vibe and the barista was super friendly. I dont know other local coffee shop in the town so if you want to try something other than Starbucks Id recommend this place.
I absolutely love coffee shops. My coffee needs are very basic: a real mug, a fresh medium or dark roast (black please) and an occasional baked good or breakfast sandwich. Black Sheep gets perfect scores on all counts. Plus their sitting area is comfortable and quiet. What a great place to chill while visiting lovely Bishop, CA!
Drip coffee was great and appreciated that the staff mentioned the origin without me asking. Breakfast burrito was fine but a little funky. Would recommend stopping in.
This crew knows coffee! Best in town
Friendly staff, they are on a limited menu and at 10 they ran out of vegan breakfast burritos 🌯
Nice espresso as two Aussies sought real coffee!
Great coffee, fun vibes, the only detriment is the bathroom situation. It is located in an adjacent building and it is often crowded.
Everyone camping with me had to stop by every morning before we went climbing since this place was so good. Their coffee roasts change every day too which made the experience that much better even going back each day. Breakfest burritos were tasty too!
Weve reviewed Back Sheep before & our last visit was even better. While the food is great & worth a visit, what really stands out are the espresso products. Black Sheep Coffee has the best espresso drinks weve found in five states. Well easily drive 100 miles out of our way to breakfast here.
Their coffee is actually kinda bad, and their breakfast stuff is a bit pricey. That all being said, it’s probably the best place to get coffee and use the restroom in the morning. It’s locally owned, and not pretentious.I’d pick Black Sheep over looney bean 110% of the time.
Local hub with a lot to offer and a lot of potential. High quality coffee, wonderful team of staff, community events, and great menu. One problem I see is that the volume of customers frequently outmatches number of staff, resulting in unnecessarily long wait times and heightened stress levels for customers and staff. A few tweaks, including adding staff, could result in a smoother operation and take Black Sheep to the next level where it deserves to be. Thank you BCR for all you do!
Stopped in after reading some recent reviews, and they did not disappoint. Coffee was delicious.COVID protocols, they ask you to enter through back patio and only two customers at a time. Speedy service!
Amazing! Staff was friendly and hospitable. The breakfast burritos were delicious and FULL of flavor! First time visiting Bishop and Ill definitely be back!
Great coffee and awesome breakfast burritos make the Black Sheep our go-to place when were on the move and need a one-stop fill-up.Friendly staff, an intimate environment, as well as being THE climbers hang-out make the overall experience wonderful.
Good coffee, good vibes, perfect coffee break while youre driving to Yosemite valley
My favorite new coffee shop in Bishop. Seems to be the place where climbers and other outdoor enthusiasts come to hang out. Id highly recommend this place if you want good espresso and to connect with active locals
Love this place. So awesome for a random find on a road trip. So much awesome art. Big space to lounge. The host was very friendly and helpful. The coffee is great and the snacks are too.
There is absolutely no need for management toyell at customers who make honest mistakes and take a beverage that is not theirs. If it is a busy morning, begin calling out names instead of drink orders. Many people order the same drink and this will help sort through the confusion. Apologize to both customers for the mix up and dont accuse one for stealing mugs and drinks. The absolute worst customer service I have observed and experienced.
Good coffee, and feels like a second home for visiting climbers. I loved that staff were happy to make my partners large mocha in a mason jar to save the to-go cup.
Coffee and espresso is really good they know how to pull a shot! Pastries and food are awesome but you never know what they have to offer till you walk inside as selections change regularly. Service can be slow but this isnt the Quicky Mart. I make Black Sheep a must go to stop whenever I travel through Bishop on the 395!
The coffee and service are excellent - very cheerful server at the counter. Worth a visit, including to view the avant-garde art.There was a slight off-smell, which we learned later was caused by someone inadvertently turning on the un-serviced (and un-needed) evaporative cooler
Was visiting Bishop for a Geology field trip and Im extremely pleased I discovered this coffee at the place I was staying!I later ordered some online-they were extremely rapid in sending it and the product itself is amazing. I take it black but its sooo smooth and agrees with my body completely, while getting me wired as hell. It seems have much less of acidy taste that most mainstream coffee has. Thank you so much to these guys for EXISTING, I will definitely be ordering this stuff to my college dorm in Portland for the indefinite future. Bless you people.
We bought coffee beans from Ethiopa Yirga Cheffe, and were blown away by the blueberry flavors of this coffee. That was one of the most amazing coffee we had! Very nice staff and excellent lattes as well, nice ambiance in the cafe.
This is a place with an amazing atmosphere and chill staff. The coffee is tasty and this is definitely the place to go if you want something more personal than Starbucks... they actually ask you how your day is going and will respond like an actual human being.
I visited this place over a year ago when I was in bishop for my wedding and it is still the café that I use to judge all other cafés. Absolutely incredible. I don’t live here but it makes me wish that I did. Excellent customer service, coffee, and food. I wish that I would have bought a t-shirt when I was there!
Black sheep has amazing coffee. I often buy a bag of their roasted beans, and they never disappoint. It is also cool you can order a coffee drink or beer in their shop. Truly a gem!
8a.m. on a Thursday. The BEST cup of coffee I EVER remember: lingering full rich flavor, no bitterness. The quiche was warm and moist, a blend of creative culinary inspirations. The atmosphere was festive with locals and globals eating, chatting, viewing art work, journaling, reading...some of us even broke into song and laughter was prevalent. The patio, where there was joyful canine admiration, was cool with colorful shade umbrellas. Ample parking in the shade, and cycle parking. Recycling. Black Sheep is a gathering place for introspection, innovation, creativity, critical thought, and communication. We have so much to be grateful for with this business in our community. Happy hour with brew on tap or bottle, non alcoholic hydration, yummy menu stuff like burritos, bagels, pastries, and soup, plus... open mike!! Go out of your way to experience the extraordinary!!
Very nice! Great espresso!
BEST darned coffee Ive had in a LONG time. Friendly staff, delicious baked goods, top level fair-trade coffee? What more could you ask for? Shame I only get to pass through 1 or 2 xs a year!
Great atmosphere. Excellent outside seating. Good inside seating with great ambiance. The 2x cappuccinos are really good as is the chocolate banana spresso. A lot of good things here.
Five star for the quick and convent breakfast burritos! Ate one on the way into mammoth and stopped again on the way out. They’re ready to grab burritos which I’m not usually game for but when Road tripping it was best.Are lattes were frothed to profection. well deffinitly be making this a routine pit stop every time we are trekking up to the mountain. Also the have a large parking lot...bonus points
This was delicious and perfect for a good dinner with my parents. I definitely recommend it for a date, celebration, or just to have a morning coffee.
Best Espresso in the Inyo valley
My favorite coffee shop! Delicious coffee, yummy smoothies, filling food, and happy hour with beers on tap! Enjoy it all on the patio with your pup. Easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
The Chai Latte with Soy mill was great! Can offer all milk options (dairy, oat, soy, almond…):)
Good coffee and lovely fresh baked goods from local small batch producers. Clean design with a cozy feel. Wifi. Friendly exchange without being too dominated by chit chatty nare do wells. In otherwords, good place to focus, while still harboring the soul and serendipity of a community junction for folks to meet and share info.
My group loved the coffee and the barista was friendly, would definitely come back next time were in town.
The coffee is superb at Black Sheep especially because they roast the beans themselves and their speciality drinks are worth the visit alone like the Dirty Hippy which is a Chai Tea latte made soy milk and a shot. Additionally, the shop has a nice feel to it and attracts Eastern Sierra Adventurers. However, two stars deducted for the service not being warm nor inclusive. The establishment is very clickish and even being from Bishop, there is a tendency to feel like an outsider. While I have been a big fan of their coffee since 2006 when they were behind Spellbinders, I cant support the culture.
Walked in to barrista complaining about work load. Got the youre a slight inconvenience vibe which is a bad response to someone trying to relate to your struggle. Good coffee not great - probably the brewing at fault which was a pour over dump of full quantity then walked away - no stir, no pulse etc. Coffee good enough to warrant a return but service bad enough to warrant never returning and this review. Sorry guys coffee is competitive you have to have more than a good roast.
Friends in Los Angeles said dont miss this stop along the way into town! Certainly glad to spend some time at Black Sheep coffee! Even bought a bag of beans titled the family bonds, as a gift!
No frills, not overly nice or helpful staff. Coffee is ok sadly. I saw the high rating and was excited to try it as we always try the top rated coffee places on our trips. Did not live up to the reviews.
Man this place is a little oasis. Cool, with a bunch of specialty drinks (I got the New Yorker... Awesome for a hot day!), Alamazing specialty local beans and a full menu of sandiwichy things and salads. Awesome spot to chill for a while.
Great little coffee shop for getting some work done :)
Wonderful staff, best coffee in town, unique food, and warm welcoming vibes.
Best coffee on earth! Well it is really good anyway. Their cold brew is world class! Great place to meet local adventurers.
Creepy people that dont introduce themselves,been to coffee plantations in Central America,they usually introduce themselves and service is much better! I will never go there again! It is funny the day before I was talking to a couple from Netherlands about people from San Francisco being here, the guy seemed to be San Fran and had his parade going downtown San Fran,I do not like behavior in my Face keep it in the closet! Thank You!
Love this place Looney bean to me is gossipy. Black Sheep is comfy, great good. Coffee, atmosphere. Just a really good vibe,Meaning positive vibe.
Even in covid rules long line for delicious coffee (well worth it-- also everyone keeps their distance and are as safe as practicable which is appreciated greatly. As well the staff is hyper kind)
Good Coffee and great view
Amazing coffee. I enjoyed the time here and staff. I was able to have a comfortable, fun meal with my family.
Great coffee & next to book store & close to Gear Exchange at Line & Main/395. Get the really nice extra thick coffee mug.
What do you expect from a place called black sheep? Outcasts are avoided for reasons. Not pleasant at all. Talk about entitled attitudes!
AVOID. Service was lackluster, latte was mediocre at best. Loony Bean is much better if you want your coffe hot and flavorful, and served cheerfully.
If you like coffee its a must visit place this side of sierras. Cappuccinos are great and the staff is friendly. Populated with climbers.
The best coffee on the east side. Never a bad cup of joe here.
Amazing coffee and wonderful service. A very wide variety of espresso drinks available including con panna and affogato. Climber friendly.
Top notch coffee, coming from a geeky seattlite. best cup ive had in a while! and super cool staff, what a pleasant surprise
Absolutely the best place to stop for coffee near Bishop. Grab a breakfast burrito too. You wont be disappointed.
Great place, great coffee. Highly recommend to stop here for a coffee break on your way to Mono Lake or Death Valley
Its black sheep coffee, need I say more?Well, yes, if you havent been here I highly recommend it, youll find plenty of climbers there and a delicious cup of coffee too
The best thing about Orange County is the coffee I brought home from Bishop.
Amazing coffee, love their tap selection, and just an all-around great local, and locally owned place.
Good to go breakfast option. Friendly service. Limited hours.
It takes more to make a good espresso. A 10 second making time means underextraction, and so it was. Way too sour... Would not recommend.
By far the best coffee in town. And fast and friendly service!
I only had normal coffee, not espresso but it wasnt great. I heard the coffee was great, but maybe it was an off day.
Nice people and strong coffee!! Good back patio.
Best coffee in town! Yummy and healthy quick bite food. Gf, paleo and vegan options.
The vegan breakfast burritos are tasty and inexpensive and the batch brew gets the job done.
The regular coffee and espresso is real good here. Sometimes people complain about prices but items are of a general high quality.
Good coffee, but not great. The dude making the coffee wasnt in a happy placeand didnt seem to care about the customers. Not very professional
Super nice people, great coffee and healthy edibles for breakfast or lunch. Nice community of outdoorsy folk and good wi-fi.
Excellent cold brew. Low acid and a sweet nutty flavor

Very good coffee and fresh fruit smoothies. Lovely pictures on the walls.
Excellent beans that they roast in house. Try the Yirgacheffe or Amoro Gayo medium roasts. Super fruity and delicious!
Outstanding coffee, the smell alone from the parking will drive you crazy.
It was a coffeehouse with a sort of homey feeling to it. The coffee was okay, but when I wanted it cold, the lady gave it to me in a mug, which I thought was kind of strange.
Lia was fantastic and made sure I didnt burn myself. Not the most punctual, but very caring barista:)
Nice place to hang out. Good coffee, and the breakfast burritos are great.
Great coffee with a 20-30 something year old, college educated, rock climbing, hipster, kinda crowd. Entertaining conversation!
Great little spot with tasty drinks and pastries and a large, dog-friendly patio.
Ordered a dirty chai, and it had a really great taste. Good vibe/ atmosphere and friendly service!
Very nice customer service , the only thing I didnt like I asked to taste some chocolate syrups that they have and they gave him the same spoon to eat my ice cream coffee and the stead of giving me a clan one.
Epic spot for an affordable fair trade free range coffee product. Friendly staff.
Wasnt overly impressed with their dark roast, and the almond milk latte was passable.
Awesome coffee and people. great place to mingle with locals and climbers.
Any coffee joint that has Yerba Mate always get 5 stars in my book.
Friendly staff very welcoming, oh yeah great coffee.
Amazing coffee at a local coffee shop. The staff are friendly and quick.

2022-08-01Superb Cafe with great coffee, fresh baked goods, and unique breakfast options like the sweet potato and sausage burrito which was the perfect departure meal before hitting the trail for a week. The store is filled with awesome local art and the patio is cozy. Staff was rad, welcoming, and entire atmosphere on point.

2021-10-01When the barista mesures the portafilter weight on a scale you know youre going to get a great coffee. And we got one of the best. The climbing history on the walls is a nice touch and connects you with the community in Bishop.

2018-01-15Absolutely love this place. I have spent a couple weeks in Bishop and have come here almost every morning. The staff here is excellent - calling out Caitlin, Danny, Raen, and Dallas for being incredibly cordial, professional, and informative. The coffee here is excellent. I highly recommend the panda soup with soy or almond - especially if you are vegan or vegetarian. Make sure to stop by here on your next trip to Bishop and to tip well. Very impressed! Facilities are clean and cozy.

2019-01-11I love this place. The coffee is excellent. The best coffee on US-395, forget Starbucks. I always visit when I travel in this part of California. They have some good food options too. And some amazing art hanging on the walls.

2022-04-03Single source and direct trade coffee, with some emphasis on sustainable farming practices plus they offer ceramic cups instead of single use throw-away cups. Good spot!

2022-05-28Coffee both medium and dark roast good. Bacon egg burrito needed more onions and spinach and herbs.

2019-07-16Black sheep coffee is an amazing establishment. The staff are compassionate and skilled. My family and I just went through a terrible ordeal where my mom went missing. The staff let us make base camp there, use the WiFi, arrange meetings with the media, and all the while were extremely gracious. Do yourself a favor and visit this establishment. I plan on stopping by every time we drive through town.

2022-01-08This place definitely has the best coffee in town! The selection of food is not as wide as at the competition across the street, but if what youre looking for is an excellent espresso drink, look no further than the Black Sheep.
