Portland, Oregon based, Black Rock Coffee Bar, will be hosting a Cars & Coffee pre-opening event at its first ever Texas location on National Coffee Day. The new location will be based in the southwest area of Austin at Lantana Place, a new retail center on Southwest Parkway, and is projected to open its doors to the community in early November.

This special pre-opening Cars & Coffee event featuring professional race car driver, Cindi Lux, will take place on Sunday, September 29 from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. at 7415 Southwest Pkwy, Austin, TX 78735 with free coffee, energy drinks, and more.

“We are thrilled to have our good friend, Cindi Lux, out here to celebrate National Coffee Day with y’all and to give the community a taste of what Black Rock is all about before we get our doors open.”

Jeremy Brand, company Co-founder and Vice President of Operations

Lux and her team will be present at the Cars & Coffee event with her Trans Am Viper on display for the day to interact with. Lux is looking forward to talking about cars, racing, coffee, and everything in between with the local Austin community.

“Austin has one of the coolest, most compassionate coffee companies coming into their market — they are so lucky!” Lux said. “I have been blessed to watch this company grow from their first location back in 2008, and look at them now! People will soon realize Black Rock is more than just a coffee company… they have a special culture. They believe in helping the local community.”

Lux will be racing on Saturday morning (October 5) at COTA at 11:10am. All vehicle makes and models are welcome to join in on this Cars & Coffee event at Black Rock Coffee Bar. This public event is kid and pet friendly — all are welcome!
