Organization and Nature of Operations	12 Months Ended
Organization and Nature of Operations	Dec. 31, 2025
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Operations	Organization and Nature of Operations Nature of Operations Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 2, 2025, and in June 2025 re-domiciled to be incorporated in Texas for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the "IPO") and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of Black Rock Coffee Holdings, LLC ("Black Rock OpCo") and its consolidated subsidiaries (together with Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc., the "Company") as a publicly-traded entity. The Company is a high-growth operator of guest-centric, drive-thru and lobby coffee bars offering premium caffeinated beverages and an elevated in-store experience. As of December 31, 2025, there were 181 stores operating in seven U.S. states. Initial Public Offering and Reorganization Transactions Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. successfully closed an IPO of 16,911,764 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $20.00 per share on September 15, 2025, which included 2,205,882 shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock. The net proceeds from the IPO aggregated to approximately $306.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses payable in connection with the offering. Shares of Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "BRCB" on September 12, 2025. In connection with the IPO, Black Rock OpCo amended and restated its existing limited liability company agreement, to among other things, (i) recapitalize all existing ownership interests in Black Rock OpCo into 43,079,227 membership units of Black Rock OpCo (" LLC Units") (before giving effect to the use of proceeds from the IPO, as described below ), (ii) appoint Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. as the sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo, and (iii) provide certain redemption rights to the owners of the LLC Units in Black Rock OpCo, exclusive of the Company (the "Continuing Equity Owners"). Simultaneously, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. amended and restated its certificate of formation to, among other things, provide (i) for Class A common stock, with each share of Class A common stock entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the shareholders generally; (ii) for Class B common stock, with each share of Class B common stock entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the shareholders generally; (iii) for Class C common stock, with each share of Class C common stock entitling its holder to ten votes per share on all matters presented to the shareholders generally, until the earlier of (a) September 15, 2035, and (b) with respect to each Co-Founder ("Co-Founder" refers to each of Daniel Brand, Jeff Hernandez, Jake Spellmeyer or Bryan Pereboom), the date on which the aggregate number of shares of Class C common stock held by such Co-Founder or certain of their affiliates is less than thirty-three percent (33%) of the shares of Class C common stock held by such Co-Founder and certain of their affiliates as of the closing of the IPO, each such holders' Class C common stock will convert to fully paid non-assessable shares of Class B common stock; (iv) that shares of Class B and Class C common stock may only be held by the Continuing Equity Owners and their respective permitted transferees; and (v) for preferred stock, which can be issued by the board of directors in one or more series without shareholder approval. As a result, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. became a holding company and the sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo and controls the business affairs of Black Rock OpCo. Concurrently with the consummation of the IPO, an affiliate of the Company's Co-Founders purchased 3,118,938 newly issued LLC Units (and corresponding shares of the Company's Class C common stock) from Black Rock OpCo for approximately $62.4 million at a price per unit equal to $20.00 per share (the "IPO price"). Further, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. used the net proceeds from the IPO to: (i) purchase 3,857,642 newly issued LLC Units for approximately $71.8 million directly from Black Rock OpCo at a price per unit equal to the IPO price of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount; and (ii) purchase 13,054,122 LLC Units from certain Continuing Equity Owners for approximately $242.8 million at a price per unit equal to the IPO price per share of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount.

Equity-Based Compensation

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2025

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Equity-Based Compensation

Pre-IPO Incentive Plan

Prior to the IPO, certain employees and directors were granted profits interests units ("PI Units") in Black Rock OpCo which generally vested immediately upon a sale of the Company or an IPO. In connection with the Transactions, all outstanding PI Units were converted into LLC Units of Black Rock OpCo. The Company evaluated the conversion and exchange of PI Units as part of the Transactions and concluded the conversion and exchange was not a modification of the original PI Unit. Accordingly, the Company recognized equity-based compensation using the grant date fair value as measured on the original grant date of the PI Units which was determined to be immaterial. The unrecognized equity-based compensation for the restricted LLC Units still subject to time-based vesting requirements is immaterial.

2025 Incentive Award Plan

In September 2025, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the 2025 Incentive Award Plan (the "2025 Plan"), and the shareholders approved the 2025 Plan, effective in connection with the Company's IPO. The 2025 Plan provides for potential grants of the following awards with respect to shares of the Company's Class A common stock: (i) incentive stock options ("ISOs") qualified as such under U.S. federal income tax laws; (ii) non-qualified stock options ("NSOs"); (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock awards; (v) dividend equivalents; (vi) RSUs; and (vii) other stock or cash-based awards as determined by the Board, the compensation committee of the Board or any properly delegated subcommittee.

The initial maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2025 Plan shall not exceed 4,354,880 shares. In addition, the number of shares of our Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2025 Plan will be subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning on and including January 1, 2026 and ending on and including January 1, 2035, equal to (i) 3% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such smaller number of shares of our Class A common stock as is determined by the Board. The maximum number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs granted under the 2025 Plan is 10 million.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had equity-based compensation awards outstanding consisting of RSUs and stock options.

Stock Options

In connection with the IPO, the Company granted employees stock options under the 2025 Plan to purchase shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price equal to the IPO price. The stock options will vest on September 15, 2028, subject to continued service through such date, which is the third anniversary of the date of the closing of the IPO. In addition, 381,097 stock options awarded to our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") provide for accelerated vesting upon a qualified retirement event.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2025:


	Stock Options Outstanding	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding as of December 31, 2024	—
Granted	647,862	$	20.00
Forfeited or cancelled	—
Outstanding as of December 31, 2025	647,862	$	20.00	9.7	$	1,458

As of December 31, 2025, no options were vested or exercisable. The total unrecognized equity-based compensation related to the stock options was approximately $5.7 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

The grant date fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:



Dividend yield(1)			None
Volatility(2)			48.3%
Risk-free interest rate(3)			4.03%
Expected term (years)(4)			5.5
Weighted-average grant date fair value per share			$9.84

(1) The Company utilized a dividend yield of zero, as it had no history or plan of declaring dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

(2) Volatility was based on a group of industry peers with sufficient history.

(3) The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with terms approximately equal to the expected life of the options.

(4) Because the Company does not yet have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for estimating future exercise patterns, the expected term was based on an analysis of exercise behavior of peer companies and management's judgment.

RSUs

The Company has granted RSUs to employees and directors under the 2025 Plan. RSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company's Class A common stock at a specified future date. RSUs under the 2025 Plan are generally subject to a service condition. The service condition for employees is generally satisfied over 4 years, whereby 25% of the RSUs vest on each annual anniversary of the closing the Company's IPO, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. The service condition for directors is generally satisfied on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2026, or, if earlier, the first anniversary of the closing of the IPO, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. In addition, 187,500 RSUs awarded to our CEO provide for accelerated vesting upon a qualified retirement event. The unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to the RSUs will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period, using the straight-line attribution method.

The activity for RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:


	Number of RSUs	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2024	—
Granted	341,246	$	20.00
Forfeited or cancelled	—
Nonvested at December 31, 2025	341,246	$	20.00

As of December 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs, was approximately $6.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Roasters Settlement	Roasters Settlement In September 2020, a prospective third-party buyer (“Prospect”) entered into a binding term sheet to acquire Roasters, the owner of 14 retail coffee stores throughout the state of Washington. On January 6, 2021, Roasters gave notice to the Prospect of its intent to terminate the binding term sheet. On January 20, 2021, Prospect filed an action against Roasters in Spokane County Superior Court to contest the termination, allege breach of contract, and seek specific performance. On January 21, 2021, the Company and Roasters signed and simultaneously closed an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired the Roasters assets (the “Assets”) for $9 million, of which $6 million was paid upon the consummation of acquisition date and $3 million was deposited into a third-party escrow account (the “Holdback Amount”). The Holdback Amount was subject to reduction in certain situations and payable to Roasters upon the satisfaction of certain post-closing obligations. No portion of the Holdback Amount was paid to Roasters and was returned to the Company. The Assets consisted primarily of property and equipment and goodwill associated with the reporting unit along with an immaterial amount of inventories and other assets. Prospect, Roasters and the Company, mutually agreed to arbitration, and in September 2022, the arbitration panel issued an interim award in favor of Prospect requiring specific performance. Pursuant to the terms of the award, Roasters would terminate the Purchase Agreement and return to the Company the initial $6 million paid, net of fees, for the Assets, in exchange for which the Company would return the Assets to Roasters. No portion of the Holdback was paid to Roasters and was returned to the Company. The award also required Roasters to sell the Assets to Prospect. In May 2023, the Company completed the transfer of the Assets and removed the net carrying value of the Assets from the financial statements. In addition to specific performance, the arbitration panel further awarded Prospect damages of approximately $1.2 million, payable by the Company. The damages were paid as of December 31, 2023. In August 2024, the Company reached full and final settlement with its insurers for its claims related to the Roasters settlement and all related insurance proceeds and gains in connection with the Company’s claims have been received and recognized, as of December 31, 2024. The amount of insurance recovery gains and proceeds recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations was approximately $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Under the Series A Redemption Agreement 16,169,962 Series A Units were purchased for approximately $14.6 million in 2024. In April 2025, the Company purchased the remaining outstanding Series A Units for $3.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company recognized approximately $1.1 million and $1.4 million in fees associated with the purchase. Both amounts are reported within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Equity [Abstract]

Shareholders' Equity

Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Formation

On September 11, 2025, the Company amended and restated its certificate of formation to, among other things, provide for the authorization to issue four classes of stock, designated as follows:



Class of Stock	Authorized Shares	Par Value Per Share
Class A common stock	500,000,000	$0.00001
Class B common stock	200,000,000	$0.00001
Class C common stock	50,000,000	$0.00001
Preferred stock	20,000,000	$0.00001

Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Class C common stock are entitled to 10 votes per share. All holders of outstanding shares of common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters on which shareholders are generally entitled to vote, except as otherwise required.

The Company has no current plans to pay dividends on Class A common stock. Holders of Class B and Class C common stock do not have any right to receive dividends (except for certain in-kind dividends), or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company with respect to their Class B and Class C common stock. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of Class A common stock will be at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.

The Company must, at all times, maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of Black Rock OpCo LLC Units owned by the Company (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities).

LLC Recapitalization

As described in Note 1, on September 11, 2025, the Company entered into the Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Black Rock Coffee Holdings, LLC (the "Black Rock OpCo Agreement") to, among other things, effect a recapitalization (i) in which Black Rock OpCo recapitalized its capital structure to provide for a single new class of equity, LLC Units, (ii) in which Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. was appointed as the sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo and (iii) to provide certain redemption rights to the Continuing Equity Owners. Subsequent to the Transactions, 50,055,807 LLC Units were outstanding, of which 17,478,452 were held by the Company and the remaining 32,577,355 were held by the Continuing Equity Owners.

Pursuant to the Black Rock OpCo Agreement, the Continuing Equity Owners have the right, from time to time and subject to terms of the Black Rock OpCo Agreement, to exchange their LLC Units, along with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable, for shares of Class A common stock or cash, at the option of the Company, on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and similar transactions. The Company may not effectuate a cash settlement unless the disinterested directors of its Board of Directors have authorized and consummated a qualifying offering by no later than the redemption date for the purpose of satisfying such cash settlement. In connection with any exchange of LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock by a Continuing Equity Owner, the number of LLC Units held by the Company correspondingly increases as it acquires the exchanged LLC Units, and a corresponding number of shares of Class B or Class C common stock are canceled.

Initial Public Offering

As described in Note 1, on September 15, 2025, the Company completed its IPO in which it issued and sold 16,911,764 shares of Class A common stock (including 2,205,882 shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares) at an offering price of $20.00 per share, resulting in proceeds of approximately $314.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The proceeds were used to purchase approximately 3,857,642 newly-issued LLC Units from Black Rock OpCo for approximately $71.8 million, as well as 13,054,122 LLC Units from certain Continuing Equity Owners for $242.8 million. Total offering expenses (other than the underwriting discount and commissions) were approximately $8.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of $306.5 million. All of such offering expenses were paid for or otherwise borne by Black Rock OpCo.

NCF Charitable Assets Trust Donation

On December 28, 2025, certain Continuing Equity Owners gifted a total of 539,019 LLC Units and Class C common stock, which automatically converted to shares of Class B common stock, to NCF Charitable Assets Trust, a donor advised fund.

As a result of the above transactions, as of December 31, 2025:

•Holders of the Company's Class A common stock owned 17,478,452 shares, representing a combined 7.1% of the voting power in the Company and, through the Company's corresponding ownership of LLC Units, 17,478,452 LLC Units representing a 34.9% interest in Black Rock OpCo; and

•the Continuing Equity Owners collectively owned 32,577,355 LLC Units, inclusive of 80.5 thousand restricted LLC Units, representing a 65.1% interest in Black Rock OpCo, 10,916,155 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, and 21,661,200 shares of the Company's Class C common stock, representing a combined 92.9% of the voting power in the Company.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes and Tax Receivable Agreement

Overview of Income Taxes

Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. is a Subchapter C corporation and is subject to federal and state income taxes. Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc.'s sole material asset is its ownership interest in Black Rock OpCo, which is a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and certain state and local income tax purposes. Black Rock OpCo's net taxable income and related tax credits, if any, are passed through to its members and included in the members' tax returns. The income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the noncontrolling interest holders is not reported by the Company in its consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP.

Provision for Income Taxes

Components of income tax expense are as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2025		2024		2023
Current tax provision
Federal	$	(12)	$	—	$	—
State	293		270		357
Total current tax provision	281		270		357

Deferred tax expense (benefit)
Federal	$	(77)	$	—	$	—
State	271		—		—
Total deferred tax provision	194		—		—

Income tax expense	$	475	$	270	$	357

Our effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate as itemized below:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2025		2024		2023
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate	21.0	%	21.0	%	21.0	%
Effect of flow-through entity	(20.3)		(21.0)		(21.0)
Income allocable to noncontrolling interests not subject to tax	(0.8)		—		—
State and local income taxes, net of federal benefit	(2.3)		—		—
Tax credits	0.7		—		—
TRA Adjustments	0.4		—		—
Other	(1.7)		(3.9)		(4.3)
Effective income tax rate	(3.0)	%	(3.9)	%	(4.3)	%

Our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the effect of the flow-through entity which the taxable income or loss is allocated to the members.

The components of our deferred tax assets are as follows:


(in thousands)	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Deferred tax assets
Investment in Black Rock OpCo	$	51,204	$	—
Net operating loss carryforwards	1,455		—
Credit carryforwards	103		—
Charitable contribution carryforward	2		—
Total deferred tax assets	52,764		—
Less: valuation allowance	—		—
Net deferred tax assets	$	52,764	$	—

The deferred tax assets are due to the tax effects of temporary differences in the book basis as compared to the tax basis of Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc.'s investment in Black Rock OpCo as a result of Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc.'s investment in Black Rock OpCo. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company concluded, based on the evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence, that all of its deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

As each of the Continuing Equity Owners elects to convert their LLC Units into Class A common stock, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. will assume their aggregate historical tax basis, which will create a net tax benefit for the Company. The Company will only recognize a deferred tax asset for financial reporting purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the tax benefit will be realized.

As of December 31, 2025, we had U.S. federal net operating losses of approximately $6.4 million which do not expire.

We file returns with the Internal Revenue Service and multiple state jurisdictions, which are subject to examination by the taxing authorities for years 2022 and later.

On July 4, 2025, the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes several significant changes in the U.S. tax law, including the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for specific business provisions. Other than the permanent extension of bonus depreciation provisions in the OBBBA, which will lower near term taxable income and cash distributions to the members of Black Rock OpCo (including Black Rock Coffee Bar Inc.), we do not expect the effects of this legislation to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with Transactions, the Company entered into a TRA with Black Rock OpCo and Continuing Equity Owners that provides for the payment by Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) related to the tax basis adjustments.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a liability of approximately $38.9 million related to its projected obligations under the TRA and is classified as non-current on the consolidated balance sheets based on the expected date of payment.

In determining loss contingencies, the Company considers the likelihood of loss as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss or liability. An estimated loss is recognized when it is considered probable that the liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. While any claim, proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes the outcome of any of these matters that are pending or threatened will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results or operations, or cash flows as of December 31, 2025.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), since the Continuing Equity Owners control the Company after the Transactions (i.e., there was no change in control of Black Rock OpCo), the financial statements of the combined entity represent a continuation of the financial position and results of operations of Black Rock OpCo. Accordingly, the historical cost basis of assets, liabilities, and equity of Black Rock OpCo are carried over to the consolidated financial statements of the combined company as a common control transaction. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Transactions have been presented to combine the previously separate entities. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. and Black Rock OpCo. Black Rock OpCo is a variable interest entity and Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo and has decision making authority that significantly affects the performance of the entity. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Black Rock OpCo and reports noncontrolling interest representing the economic interest in Black Rock OpCo held by the Continuing Equity Owners. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 represents the portion of earnings attributable to the economic interest in Black Rock OpCo held by the Continuing Equity Owners. The noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 represents the portion of the net assets of the Company attributable to the Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Units owned by such unit holders. As of December 31, 2025, the noncontrolling interest holders' economic ownership percentage was 65.0%.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, primarily related to leases, temporary equity, equity-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets including right-of-use assets, goodwill impairment, tax receivable agreement liability, income taxes, and gift card and loyalty program liability that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. For assets and liabilities recorded or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determined fair value based on the following: •Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. •Level 3: Inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements reflecting an entity’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, for which the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s variable-rate credit facilities approximates the carrying amounts as the cost of borrowing is variable and approximates current market prices, which is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues from stores are presented net of discounts and recognized when beverage and food products are sold to the customer. Other revenue includes online retail coffee sales as well as sales of products through the Company’s website which are recognized at the point in time of shipment to customers. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue and the obligation is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities. The Company has a loyalty program that allows customers to earn point rewards that may be redeemed for a free product. The Company defers revenue as rewards are earned under the loyalty program. The Company also operates a gift card program and maintains a gift card liability for gift cards sold, recognizing revenue from gift cards when the gift card is redeemed. Gift cards do not have an expiration date or a service fee that would cause a decrement to the customer balance. Based on historical redemption rates, a portion of loyalty program points and gift cards are not expected to be redeemed and will be recognized as breakage over time in proportion to loyalty program and gift card redemptions. Breakage is recognized in store revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase, as well as credit card receivables for sales to customers in company-operated stores that generally settle within two to five business days. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts at multiple financial institutions as well as the individual store locations. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to a limit of $250 thousand per depositor. While amounts at financial institutions may exceed FDIC limits, the Company has not experienced any losses in its bank deposit accounts.
Receivables, net	Receivables, net Receivables, net of allowances for credit losses, consists primarily of receivables for tenant improvement allowances granted from lessors under various operating lease agreements and amounts due from certain vendors. Receivables for tenant improvement allowances are recorded when the underlying leasehold improvement work has been completed and approved by the landlord at the conclusion of a project. The allowance for credit losses is calculated using a loss-rate method based on historical experience, current economic conditions and other factors. The Company had no allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company records product returns as they are received, and obsolete and slow-moving inventory when identified, as these types of transactions have generally been immaterial to the Company’s historical operations. No allowance for obsolete inventory was considered necessary at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Property and Equipment, net	Property and Equipment, net The Company records property and equipment at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is sold or retired, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and the resulting gain or loss is included in income from operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and presented within other store operating expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually, as of the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The annual impairment test includes an option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value; the qualitative test may be performed prior to, or as an alternative to, performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company is required to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, no further analysis is required. The quantitative impairment test involves the comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the financial statement carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performed the annual qualitative impairment assessments for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and no impairment charges were recognized, nor were there any accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of recoverability is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group, which is generally at the store level, and requires judgment and an estimate of future undiscounted store-generated cash flows. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value.
Debt Issuance Costs and Capitalized Modification Fees	Debt Issuance Costs and Capitalized Modification Fees The Company’s debt issuance costs and capitalized modification fees are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of the debt liability. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt liability using a method that approximates the effective interest rate method.
Leases	Leases The Company currently leases all stores, warehouse facilities and office space for corporate administrative purposes, of which all are operating leases. The Company’s real estate leases consist of build-to-suit and commercial ground leases which generally have initial terms from 10 to 15 years and typically include multiple renewal options for additional periods of up to five years. Renewal options are generally not recognized as a part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain at the commencement date that the Company would exercise the renewal options. For operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are reported in specific line items on the consolidated statement of operations. Lease expense incurred before a store opens is recorded in pre-opening costs. Once a store opens, the straight-line lease expense is recorded in occupancy and related expenses. Many of these leases have variable lease costs which require the Company to pay real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and amounts based on a percentage of gross sales in excess of specified levels. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred and are included in occupancy and related expenses if associated with a store and are otherwise recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company calculates operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as the present value of fixed lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term beginning at the commencement date. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments and is applied on a portfolio basis. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and are reduced by lease incentives. The Company invests in leasehold improvements. Generally, a portion of the leasehold improvements and building costs are reimbursed by landlords through landlord incentives pursuant to agreed-upon terms in the lease agreements. Landlord incentives usually take the form of cash payments. In most cases, landlord incentives are received after the Company takes possession of the property and as milestones are met during the construction of the property. For operating leases, the Company includes these amounts in the measurement of the initial operating lease liability and right-of-use asset. The Company has certain lease arrangements which resulted in sale and leaseback transactions that do not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting because of our deemed control of the underlying assets for accounting purposes, which results in the transaction being recorded under the financing method. These financial obligations are included in long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.
Redeemable Preferred Units	Redeemable Preferred Units The Company applies the guidance enumerated in ASC 480, when determining the classification and measurement of preferred units. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred units, which includes preferred units that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. The Company subsequently measures temporary equity to redemption value when the instrument is currently redeemable or when it is probable the instrument will become redeemable.
Pre-opening Costs	Pre-opening Costs The Company’s pre-opening costs consist of start-up and promotion costs such as labor, rents, and advertising associated with new store openings as well costs related to the store’s grand opening such as labor and travel expenses, promotion campaigns and advertising. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Equity-Based Compensation	Equity-Based Compensation In connection with the IPO, the Company granted Class A common stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees and directors. Equity-based compensation expense for Class A common stock options granted to employees is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted, determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model. The fair value of RSUs is based on the fair value of Class A common stock at the time of grant. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur, and any compensation expense previously recognized on unvested equity-based awards will be reversed when forfeited.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes After the consummation of the IPO, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. became subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of taxable income of Black Rock OpCo assessed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Black Rock OpCo operates as a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, it incurs no significant liability for federal, or state income taxes since the taxable income or loss is passed through to its members. Black Rock OpCo incurs liabilities for certain state taxes payable directly by it. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected as deferred income tax assets on the consolidated balance sheets. A deferred tax asset is recognized if it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized and, when necessary, a valuation allowance is established. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions and therefore has no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, that if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate.
Tax Receivable Agreement	Tax Receivable Agreement In connection with Transactions, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with Black Rock OpCo and certain Continuing Equity Owners that provides for the payment by Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) related to the tax basis adjustments described in Note 12 as such savings are realized. In addition to tax expenses, the Company will also make payments under the TRA, which could be material. The Company will account for the income tax effects and corresponding TRA's effect resulting from future taxable purchases or redemptions of LLC Units of the Continuing Equity Owners by recognizing an increase in deferred tax assets, based on enacted tax rates at the date of the purchase or redemptions. Further, the Company will evaluate the likelihood that it will realize the benefit represented by the deferred tax assets and, to the extent that management estimates that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not realize the benefit, the Company will reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance. The amounts to be recorded for both the deferred tax assets and the liability for obligations under the TRA will be estimated at the time of any purchase or redemption as a change to shareholders' equity, and effects of changes in any estimates after this date will be included in net income (loss). Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be included in net income (loss). Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements.
Advertising Expense	Advertising Expense The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Noncontrolling Interest	Noncontrolling Interest The noncontrolling interest balance represents the economic interests of LLC Units of Black Rock OpCo held by Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of LLC Units owned by the Continuing Equity Owners. Income or loss is attributed to the noncontrolling interest based on the weighted-average LLC Units outstanding during the period.
Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. for the period following the IPO by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive shares for the period following the Transactions including LLC Units held by Continuing Equity Owners that are convertible into Class A common stock, stock options and RSUs for the period after the Transactions. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards, if any, is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the Company is no longer an emerging growth company or until the Company affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period. As a result, the Company's financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in the update are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily through improvements to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information, specifically requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. These amendments are effective for public business entities’ annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Furthermore, these amendments are effective for private business entities' annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The application of these amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of this standard on its income taxes disclosures and expects to provide additional detail and disclosures under the new guidance. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The intent of this ASU is to improve public entity financial footnote disclosures around types of expenses in commonly presented expense categories (i.e. cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development). The amendments in this ASU do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements, but rather 1) impact where this information appears in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and 2) add additional disclosure requirements for certain expense line items appearing on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. ASU 2024-03, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will assess potential impacts of this standard on its disclosures in future periods.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Loss Per Share

Prior to the IPO, the Black Rock OpCo membership structure included common units, redeemable Series A Preferred Units, Series A-1 Preferred Units, Series A-2 Preferred Units, and PI Units. The Company analyzed the calculation of net income (loss) per unit for the periods prior to the IPO and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, net income (loss) per unit information has not been presented for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The basic and diluted loss per share period for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflects only the period from September 12, 2025, to December 31, 2025, which represents the period from the IPO date during which the Company had outstanding Class A common stock. The following tables set forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Long-Term Debt


(in thousands)	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Note payable to RCS SBIC Fund II, L.P and TCW Asset Management Company, LLC	$	—	$	92,614

(1)Represents failed sale-leaseback arrangements.

Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, Black Rock OpCo entered into a new credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent, and other loan parties and lenders party thereto to provide for (i) a $50.0 million term loan (the “New Term Loan”) and (ii) a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the New Term Loan, the “New Credit Facilities”). As of the closing of the IPO, the aggregate principal amount borrowed under the New Credit Facilities was $50.0 million from the New Term Loan which was used, together with proceeds from the Co-Founder Contribution and net proceeds from the IPO, to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company's amended Senior Credit Facility with RCS SBIC Fund II, L.P. and TCW Asset Management Company, LLC (the "Prior Credit Facility"). The Company expensed the remaining $1.6 million of debt issuance costs and capitalized modification fees within other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. Subsequent to the IPO the Company made principal payments in the amount of $30.1 million. The outstanding balance of the New Term Loan as of December 31, 2025 was $19.9 million.

Pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, certain subsidiaries of Black Rock OpCo are guarantors of the obligations under the New Credit Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of the New Credit Agreement, Black Rock OpCo and its subsidiaries entered into a pledge and security agreement. Pursuant to the pledge and security agreement, the New Credit Facilities are secured by liens on substantially all of the Company's assets, including the intellectual property of Black Rock OpCo and its subsidiaries and the equity interests of Black Rock OpCo's various subsidiaries.

The New Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens on assets, fundamental changes and asset sales, investments, negative pledges, repurchase of stock, dividends and other distributions, and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the New Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Loan Parties (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to not exceed a maximum net rent adjusted leverage ratio for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025, of 4.75 to 1.00 and to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025, of no less than 1.20 to 1.00.

Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are available as alternate base rate (“ABR”) or term benchmark loans. ABR loans under the New Credit Agreement accrue interest at an alternate base rate plus an applicable rate, and term benchmark loans accrue interest at an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable rate. The ABR rate represents the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Reserve’s Bank of New York overnight rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR rate plus 1.0%. The applicable rate for the ABR and term benchmark loans is tied to a pricing grid tied to our net rent adjusted leverage ratio. The adjusted SOFR rate represents the term SOFR rate plus 0.10%. The applicable rate spread for ABR and term benchmark loans ranges from 0.50% to 1.75% and 1.50% to 2.75%, respectively. Interest on the New Credit Agreement is payable at least quarterly and upon maturity. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facilities was 6.61%.

Borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility bore interest at either (a) the SOFR, plus 6.00%, plus a 0.50% spread or (b) the greatest of (i) 2.50% per annum, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (iii) the Prime Rate, and (iv) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month tenor in effect on such date plus 1.0%, in each case, plus 5.00% and a 0.5% spread, with the amount of spread in both scenarios based on a pricing grid tied to the Company’s total net leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2024, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings was approximately 11.82%.

The New Revolving Credit Facility also has a variable commitment fee, which is payable quarterly based on Black Rock OpCo's net rent adjusted leverage ratio and ranges from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum. The Company is obligated to pay a fixed fronting fee for letters of credit of 0.125% per annum.

Amounts borrowed under the New Revolving Credit Facility may be repaid and re-borrowed through maturity of the New Credit Facilities in September 2030. The New Term Loan matures in September 2030. The New Term Loan may be repaid or prepaid but may not be re-borrowed. Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are payable in quarterly principal installments and upon maturity. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2025.

Volatility(2)			48.3%
Risk-free interest rate(3)			4.03%
Expected term (years)(4)			5.5
Weighted-average grant date fair value per share			$9.84

(1) The Company utilized a dividend yield of zero, as it had no history or plan of declaring dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

(2) Volatility was based on a group of industry peers with sufficient history.

(3) The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with terms approximately equal to the expected life of the options.

Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items]
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	Risk Management and Strategy We rely on information technology systems and networks to manage critical business processes, including payment processing, supply chain operations, and marketing activities. To protect these systems and associated data, we maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity risk management program designed to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. This program addresses risks to our computer networks, third-party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and sensitive data, including intellectual property, confidential business information, and customer data. Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management framework and includes policies such as our Incident Response Policy and Cybersecurity Incident Reporting Policy. We identify and assess cybersecurity threats through internal monitoring, automated tools, threat intelligence subscriptions, vulnerability scans, penetration testing, and periodic risk assessments. Based on these assessments, we implement and maintain technical, physical, and organizational measures designed to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents. These measures include encryption of sensitive data, network security controls, access management, asset tracking, and employee security training. We utilize third-party service providers for critical functions such as cloud hosting, payment processing, and application support. Depending on the nature of the services provided and the sensitivity of the data involved, our vendor management process includes reviewing cybersecurity practices, imposing contractual obligations, conducting vulnerability assessments, requiring providers to complete security questionnaires, periodic reassessments during engagement, and ongoing monitoring through external security firms. We also collect compliance documentation and reports annually to ensure adherence to our standards. As part of our broader risk management efforts, we maintain a Business Continuity Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan that outline strategies to maintain critical operations during disruptions and restore IT systems and data in the event of a major incident. These plans include defined recovery time objectives, recovery point objectives, and tested protocols for swift restoration. We also maintain cyber insurance coverage intended to mitigate certain costs associated with cybersecurity incidents. While we have not identified any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, and we cannot guarantee that future incidents will not have a material impact. Potential impacts could include increased costs for remediation and security measures, operational disruptions, reputational harm, and limitations on insurance recovery.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

The Company uses the management approach for determining its reportable segments. The management approach is based upon the way that management reviews performance and allocates resources.

The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (the “CODM”) is its CEO. The Company has one operating and one reportable segment, as the CODM allocates resources and regularly reviews operations and financial performance at a consolidated level. The CODM uses consolidated net income to allocate resources for the single segment to make decisions regarding annual budget, new store openings, marketing decisions and driving the Company’s mission.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), since the Continuing Equity Owners control the Company after the Transactions (i.e., there was no change in control of Black Rock OpCo), the financial statements of the combined entity represent a continuation of the financial position and results of operations of Black Rock OpCo. Accordingly, the historical cost basis of assets, liabilities, and equity of Black Rock OpCo are carried over to the consolidated financial statements of the combined company as a common control transaction. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Transactions have been presented to combine the previously separate entities. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. and Black Rock OpCo. Black Rock OpCo is a variable interest entity and Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo and has decision making authority that significantly affects the performance of the entity. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Black Rock OpCo and reports noncontrolling interest representing the economic interest in Black Rock OpCo held by the Continuing Equity Owners. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 represents the portion of earnings attributable to the economic interest in Black Rock OpCo held by the Continuing Equity Owners. The noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 represents the portion of the net assets of the Company attributable to the Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Units owned by such unit holders. As of December 31, 2025, the noncontrolling interest holders' economic ownership percentage was 65.0%. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, primarily related to leases, temporary equity, equity-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets including right-of-use assets, goodwill impairment, tax receivable agreement liability, income taxes, and gift card and loyalty program liability that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. For assets and liabilities recorded or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determined fair value based on the following: •Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. •Level 3: Inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements reflecting an entity’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, for which the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s variable-rate credit facilities approximates the carrying amounts as the cost of borrowing is variable and approximates current market prices, which is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Revenue Recognition Revenues from stores are presented net of discounts and recognized when beverage and food products are sold to the customer. Other revenue includes online retail coffee sales as well as sales of products through the Company’s website which are recognized at the point in time of shipment to customers. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue and the obligation is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities. The Company has a loyalty program that allows customers to earn point rewards that may be redeemed for a free product. The Company defers revenue as rewards are earned under the loyalty program. The Company also operates a gift card program and maintains a gift card liability for gift cards sold, recognizing revenue from gift cards when the gift card is redeemed. Gift cards do not have an expiration date or a service fee that would cause a decrement to the customer balance. Based on historical redemption rates, a portion of loyalty program points and gift cards are not expected to be redeemed and will be recognized as breakage over time in proportion to loyalty program and gift card redemptions. Breakage is recognized in store revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized breakage revenue of $50 thousand, $341 thousand and $846 thousand, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase, as well as credit card receivables for sales to customers in company-operated stores that generally settle within two to five business days. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts at multiple financial institutions as well as the individual store locations. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to a limit of $250 thousand per depositor. While amounts at financial institutions may exceed FDIC limits, the Company has not experienced any losses in its bank deposit accounts. Receivables, net Receivables, net of allowances for credit losses, consists primarily of receivables for tenant improvement allowances granted from lessors under various operating lease agreements and amounts due from certain vendors. Receivables for tenant improvement allowances are recorded when the underlying leasehold improvement work has been completed and approved by the landlord at the conclusion of a project. The allowance for credit losses is calculated using a loss-rate method based on historical experience, current economic conditions and other factors. The Company had no allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Inventories Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company records product returns as they are received, and obsolete and slow-moving inventory when identified, as these types of transactions have generally been immaterial to the Company’s historical operations. No allowance for obsolete inventory was considered necessary at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Property and Equipment, net The Company records property and equipment at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is sold or retired, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and the resulting gain or loss is included in income from operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and presented within other store operating expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually, as of the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The annual impairment test includes an option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value; the qualitative test may be performed prior to, or as an alternative to, performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company is required to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, no further analysis is required. The quantitative impairment test involves the comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the financial statement carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performed the annual qualitative impairment assessments for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and no impairment charges were recognized, nor were there any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of recoverability is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group, which is generally at the store level, and requires judgment and an estimate of future undiscounted store-generated cash flows. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. Debt Issuance Costs and Capitalized Modification Fees The Company’s debt issuance costs and capitalized modification fees are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of the debt liability. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt liability using a method that approximates the effective interest rate method. Leases The Company currently leases all stores, warehouse facilities and office space for corporate administrative purposes, of which all are operating leases. The Company’s real estate leases consist of build-to-suit and commercial ground leases which generally have initial terms from 10 to 15 years and typically include multiple renewal options for additional periods of up to five years. Renewal options are generally not recognized as a part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain at the commencement date that the Company would exercise the renewal options. For operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are reported in specific line items on the consolidated statement of operations. Lease expense incurred before a store opens is recorded in pre-opening costs. Once a store opens, the straight-line lease expense is recorded in occupancy and related expenses. Many of these leases have variable lease costs which require the Company to pay real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and amounts based on a percentage of gross sales in excess of specified levels. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred and are included in occupancy and related expenses if associated with a store and are otherwise recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company calculates operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as the present value of fixed lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term beginning at the commencement date. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments and is applied on a portfolio basis. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and are reduced by lease incentives. The Company invests in leasehold improvements. Generally, a portion of the leasehold improvements and building costs are reimbursed by landlords through landlord incentives pursuant to agreed-upon terms in the lease agreements. Landlord incentives usually take the form of cash payments. In most cases, landlord incentives are received after the Company takes possession of the property and as milestones are met during the construction of the property. For operating leases, the Company includes these amounts in the measurement of the initial operating lease liability and right-of-use asset. The Company has certain lease arrangements which resulted in sale and leaseback transactions that do not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting because of our deemed control of the underlying assets for accounting purposes, which results in the transaction being recorded under the financing method. These financial obligations are included in long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Redeemable Preferred Units The Company applies the guidance enumerated in ASC 480, when determining the classification and measurement of preferred units. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred units, which includes preferred units that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. The Company subsequently measures temporary equity to redemption value when the instrument is currently redeemable or when it is probable the instrument will become redeemable. There are no redeemable preferred units outstanding as of December 31, 2025. Pre-opening Costs The Company’s pre-opening costs consist of start-up and promotion costs such as labor, rents, and advertising associated with new store openings as well costs related to the store’s grand opening such as labor and travel expenses, promotion campaigns and advertising. These costs are expensed as incurred. Equity-Based Compensation In connection with the IPO, the Company granted Class A common stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees and directors. Equity-based compensation expense for Class A common stock options granted to employees is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted, determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model. The fair value of RSUs is based on the fair value of Class A common stock at the time of grant. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur, and any compensation expense previously recognized on unvested equity-based awards will be reversed when forfeited. Income Taxes After the consummation of the IPO, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. became subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of taxable income of Black Rock OpCo assessed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Black Rock OpCo operates as a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, it incurs no significant liability for federal, or state income taxes since the taxable income or loss is passed through to its members. Black Rock OpCo incurs liabilities for certain state taxes payable directly by it. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected as deferred income tax assets on the consolidated balance sheets. A deferred tax asset is recognized if it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized and, when necessary, a valuation allowance is established. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions and therefore has no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, that if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. Tax Receivable Agreement In connection with Transactions, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with Black Rock OpCo and certain Continuing Equity Owners that provides for the payment by Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) related to the tax basis adjustments described in Note 12 as such savings are realized. In addition to tax expenses, the Company will also make payments under the TRA, which could be material. The Company will account for the income tax effects and corresponding TRA's effect resulting from future taxable purchases or redemptions of LLC Units of the Continuing Equity Owners by recognizing an increase in deferred tax assets, based on enacted tax rates at the date of the purchase or redemptions. Further, the Company will evaluate the likelihood that it will realize the benefit represented by the deferred tax assets and, to the extent that management estimates that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not realize the benefit, the Company will reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance. The amounts to be recorded for both the deferred tax assets and the liability for obligations under the TRA will be estimated at the time of any purchase or redemption as a change to shareholders' equity, and effects of changes in any estimates after this date will be included in net income (loss). Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be included in net income (loss). Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements. Advertising Expense The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Concentrations For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, three, two and two suppliers accounted for approximately 89%, 78% and 69% of purchases respectively. Noncontrolling Interest The noncontrolling interest balance represents the economic interests of LLC Units of Black Rock OpCo held by Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of LLC Units owned by the Continuing Equity Owners. Income or loss is attributed to the noncontrolling interest based on the weighted-average LLC Units outstanding during the period. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. for the period following the IPO by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive shares for the period following the Transactions including LLC Units held by Continuing Equity Owners that are convertible into Class A common stock, stock options and RSUs for the period after the Transactions. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards, if any, is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the Company is no longer an emerging growth company or until the Company affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period. As a result, the Company's financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in the update are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily through improvements to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information, specifically requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. These amendments are effective for public business entities’ annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Furthermore, these amendments are effective for private business entities' annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The application of these amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of this standard on its income taxes disclosures and expects to provide additional detail and disclosures under the new guidance. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The intent of this ASU is to improve public entity financial footnote disclosures around types of expenses in commonly presented expense categories (i.e. cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development). The amendments in this ASU do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements, but rather 1) impact where this information appears in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and 2) add additional disclosure requirements for certain expense line items appearing on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. ASU 2024-03, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will assess potential impacts of this standard on its disclosures in future periods.
