Veteran-owned Black Rifle Coffee Company is set to make its Queen Creek debut at 19980 S Ellsworth Rd, following a site plan review recently filed with the city, which calls for a 2,770-square-foot restaurant with drive-thru and outdoor seating.
A representative of Black Rifle Coffee Company did not immediately return a request for comment.
Whereas all Black Rifle retail shops offer a litany of different amenities, its standard operations include a full espresso bar with Americano, Caramel, Honey, and Horchata Lattes, an Espresso Mule, various Cold Brew options, and teas such as Green, Black, White Coconut, Chai, or Matcha.
Meanwhile, a menu of grab-and-go breakfast and lunch fare features an Egg and Cheddar Bun with optional sausage or bacon, Cinnamon Roll, Turkey Havarti sandwich, Chicken Salad sandwich, and Sweet Danish with raspberry and cream cheese.
The Salt Lake City-based brand currently operates two locations in the Phoenix area near the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and Arcadia Lite. It was founded by former U.S. Army Green Beret Evan Hafer nearly a decade ago, with the humble mission of “[serving] coffee and culture to people who love America.”
More than just a coffee roaster and cafe, however, Black Rifle Coffee Company is a fully-fledged media empire, responsible for the Black Rifle Coffee podcast, a YouTube channel, a vlog dubbed The Caffeinated Life and an eponymous blog, a news and lifestyle magazine, Coffee or Die, another lifestyle brand and multimedia platform Free Range American, and a non-profit arm, The BRCC Fund, all of which helps the company realize its goal of hiring 10,000 veterans to “provide opportunities to the military community that helped build us.”
Simply put, “Black Rifle stands for more than high-quality coffee. We are a Veteran-founded business operated by principled men and women who honor those who protect, defend, and support our country.”
