Black Diamond Espresso

The service was friendly but the latte was bitter and the milk wasn't frothed well to blend with the espresso. There aren't any other options up in the village so either go with regular coffee or something that has a bunch of flavor added to it to cover up the espresso. This isn't really a place that coffee enthusiasts are going to enjoy but a basic cup of coffee or something flavored and sweet will probably get the job done.

Located right in the heart of Taos Ski Valley at the base of Lift 1, you can't miss Black Diamond Espresso! The barista was so friendly and she was a master at making coffee. They offer everything from espresso to ice cold refreshing lemonade along with a bunch of locally baked goodies. It was a little blessing in disguise, knowing we were in a tourist area - I was expecting something more like a starbucks but very pleasantly surprised to find this shop. I ordered a soy milk latte, cocoa, and some lemonades for the fam and it was so good. They have different types of hot cocoa (if you can believe that) that is out of this world good. Really great service and top-quality ingredients make this shop a huge hit in my book. I definitely recommend you give them a try when you are in town.

If you are in the market for some truly incredible hot drinks to start the day right or for boost after a long day of skiing, Black Diamond is the place to go. They make a wide variety of drinks out of quality products and expertly roasted grounds. BlackDiamond also caters well to dietary needs and drink customizations. Hot chocolate, mochas, lattes, and macchiatos - all are delicious and infused with Taos flare. My personal favorite are their macchiatos. A TRUE macchiato with rich espresso and a float of foam on top, this drink has a deep espresso flavor with notes of chocolate. The prices are comparable to most high-end coffee shops but for the incredible drinks that you get, it's so worth it (move over, Starbucks). Be sure to ask for a rewards card when you go to get those stamps and begin working towards free drinks! Sitting slope side by one of the fire pits is only made better by having a Black Diamond drink in your hand.

Great coffee at a great price!Located at the bottom of the base. Super easy and convenient location. Grab a cup before heading up to the top or after you're done.They have a couple of specialty mocha's. I tried the Borgia, it was a dark chocolate with orange zest. The orange zest made it really refreshing.Staff is super friendly.I'd come back!

Good coffee and I would like to return in the winter to try the hot chocolate. We had to wait about 20-30 minutes before we ordered but the coffee was good.

Being from south Texas I grew up on Mexican hot chocolate, this place makes it better then my grandma ever did, holy smokes so good, perfect before and after skiing, there is a fire pit right in front of this coffee shop, grab a cup of whatever you like and grab a seat, perfect hang out spot,

Undoubtedly the best place to meet friends at Taos Ski Valley and the coffee is phenomenal!

This is a great business. Really nice folks and great coffee in the best ski area on earth!

Coffee was good. Breakfast burrito was unexpectedly vegetarian. Eggs, green chili and potatoes. Guess I should have asked about the contents first. It was overcooked in the microwave. The tortilla and the eggs were hard and crunchy which is not a favorite for me. Nice lady at the window.

Great coffee is a perfect place. Looking up Al's run is awesome The service always been nice and helpful. You can't get a better view!
