11/29/2023- Coffee connoisseur and home barista.. (lol).. I've had Blind Dog when we first moved here at a local breakfast shop.. and back then was not an expert at coffee to say the least- but do remember how smooth the coffee was.. Having you cake and eating it too- to be able to enjoy and support a local business and a cup of smooth blending coffee.. It's great to see it at the regular retail shops I frequent..! read more

Blind Dog Coffee Roastery - Can you tell.. I'm a coffee addict.. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Gardnerville, Nevada

I've been a customer for years. The products are always great and the variety of blends available peak my interest on every order. Would not think of drinking another brand of beans. I serve my friends and family Blind Dog and they are always satisfied with the taste. read more

The owner, Julia, welcomed us in and served right away their two selections of cold brew, we Loved it. I personally love cold brew and nitro brews. The coffee comes in 12oz/2lb/5lb bags. We bought their winter, Sumatra, and Nevada black blends. Their cold brew new releases come in 12oz cans and will be avaliable late January, she said. The property is pretty big, but the sales floor is small. So I would recommend making an appointment so you don't have to wait so long, and also to get the personal service needed in making good decisions. Like I always suggest and advocate for to support your local owned businesses. Enjoy... read more

Great place to visit! We stopped in today and we're treated by a nice young gal! She gave us all kinds of coffee recommendations and we purchased a couple different bags. The smell is absolutely amazing when you walk in! Thank you for the extra treats! Can't wait to try the new coffee! read more

Wow, what a surprise. They've been in my neighborhood for years and I haven't stop by, shame on me. Should you be in the neighborhood I would highly encourage a visit here. Why, you ask? Very friendly people roasting beans in Nevada and they are doing the job properly. I will definitely be back. read more

I love this small, locally owned coffee place. Great place to meet up with some friends we hadn't seen for ages. Coffee is excellent, they roast it all themselves! They do offer some breakfast items but we didn't get a chance to try any, they looked amazing! If you can't get here you can find their coffee at some retailers (Costco for one) or it's served at Squeeze-in! Five plus stars can't wait to go back again!! read more

We are coffee lovers. We settle for one a day or more when the mood hits! When we first moved here, I looked for a good local coffee. We tried Nevada Black! Wow!! An amazing dark roast with a wonderful flavor! The beans were fresh, and organic. We try a lot of coffees, but we never stray from having some fresh Nevada Black on hand. Next we tried Tanners Breakfast blend. A nice light cup of coffee. Organic as well. (We are still partial to Nevada Black) The winter blend is very very nice. I really feel they chose this blend perfectly! It is a beautiful blend and I do love a cup on a cold or snowy day! We bought some whole bean (always love to grind our own) French Roast. While I think I ordered Death Valley blend...maybe I didn't. Have not tried that yet. But we can't wait! Blind dog has a coffee subscription... I think we so need to try this! A subscription is a great way to be able try all the great coffees that Blind dog has to offer! I'll still always have Nevada Black on hand We appreciate that the coffees are Organic! And we like that the roasters are local. I have called them to ask a couple questions and they have been amazingly kind and helpful! Can't wait to try more and will do our best to get to the next event! Thank you for roasting and blending amazing coffee! I sent some to my brother-in-law for his birthday, he also appreciates a good cup of coffee. Looking forward to tasting what's next! read more

I got a bag of Blind Dog Yirgacheffe, and it was perfectly lightly roasted, super fresh, and an absolute fruit bomb! Blueberry, Blackberry, cherry, milk chocolate flavors abound. Oh my gawd this coffee is so good! read more

Who would have known: 1. A local coffee roaster 2. Kick butt coffee 3. A nice family that is busting their buns selling coffee, GOOD coffee. My K-cup dispenser (not sure if I can say Keurig without paying royalties) is getting tired of brewing Blind Dog's Nevada Black. Since I tried this coffee about 3 months back, I have had the throw out lesser coffees awaiting their turn for brewing. Nevada Black is a strong, bold, Italian (Nevadan) Roast. I love coffee with a big flavor and this is my kind of coffee. Tanner's blend is pretty darn good too if you are a smooth, full flavor, breakfast blend drinker. There is a coffee for every taste here. Sourced from all of the major regions around the globe and roasted locally. Awesome job! There are great local restaurants, vendors, and stores that carry their coffee but take a minute if you are in Gardnerville and see where it all starts. read more

Very very good coffee I first tried it at Carson lanes bowling alley when they sold it at the coffee shop there.. then they had it at the store. And my neice and her husband did some photography and advertising for them and mentioned how great the coffee was and the owners we so nice. I love this coffee. I hope they stay around for a long time. read more

I don't drink coffee but my husband and son do! They love it! Smells great to me! Haha! I purchase this product for them!

We love supporting local businesses, and Blind Dog knocks it out if the park every time! It's the only coffee we buy now, for about 5 or 6 years. I never thought I'd ever be a black coffee drinker, but I am now because their coffee is so amazing you almost don't want to "ruin" it by adding anything else. On top of their super yummy coffee, their employees are just so wonderful! I'm so glad we have this amazing business in our community! (And online!) :) read more

This is the only coffee I buy now! And it's brewed right here where I live. I totally support their mission and think that your coffee is amazing! read more

Went to the Coffee tasting. They love coffee just as much as we do. They offered a wide selection of coffee and were knowledgeable about each as well as how the beans are processed. They even gave us a tour of their facility. read more

We were in Gardnerville and wanted to get a quick cup of coffee, as it's the hip thing to do. Coffee on Main and a few others were closed for the day, but we found Blind Dog on our mobile googly searches, and decided to check it out. We're glad we did, but like other reviewers have said - it's not a coffee shop; it's their roasting warehouse. Didn't stop us. There are a few reasons why we totally fell in love with Blind Dog coffee despite not getting our instant in-our-hands coffee-to-sip fix that day. First, it's a family thing. We were greeted by the owner's daughter-in-law (I totally forgot your name, so if you're reading this review, I apologize!), who works with the business. She was super friendly, and gave us the rundown of the history behind the owner's inspirational story, and how they also give to children's cancer charity (say what?!?). I know the locals were sad to see them move from Reno, but they seemed to find a sweet deal where they set up there in little ol' Gardnerville surrounded by the beauty that is Carson Valley. Second, the friendliness that was mentioned above. You can get a feeling for when people just want to sell you something and shuffle you out the door, or not sell you anything and just tell you they're closed. This was NOT one of those places. We didn't get to meet the owner, but we'll have to stop by to say hi to him next time we're in town. Third, the flavor. We live in the heart of Texas, where there are TONS of artisan roasters popping out of the woodwork every week, it seems. So, we have a pretty good choice of places from where to get our coffee when we're home, and we're pretty picky with the bags we buy to brew at home. We bought the Tanner's House blend, and it has such a unique flavor and a smoothness that we now order bags from Blind Dog. I know, that whole "Go Local" thing is important, but being a native of Nevada, it's a legit support of local small business. Finally, eye-catching souvenir. I got one of their gray shirts with the green dog head logo on the front and back. They said the green shirt is the popular one, but I don't look as good in green. I don't mention souvenir shirts much, because a t-shirt's just a t-shirt. But this one has gotten people talking. "Hey, cool shirt!", they say. I say, "Yeah, but you need to try the COFFEE!" How many coffee t-shirts do you have in your collection that get people talking to you? "Nice Starbu..." Um... not. So, in summary: friendly people, great company, top quality product, in a beautiful valley, catchy branding logo on a t-shirt. But above all, pawsome coffee! read more

The only coffee I drink. I love this company so much. Thank you for making the best coffee!!

Still Love BlindDog!!! And they're in lots more local stores and restaurants. Yay... ;-) They are wonderful about supporting the community as well... That's a bonus in my book . Check them out online, at your local restaurant or grocery store. They're in Costco too! ;-) read more

Had wonderful occasion to try a cup of their pour-over coffee when in Reno recently. The nice lady was pouring at Whole Foods. Coffee flavor was exceptionally smooth and with decent flavor. Not the best depth on the swallow, but mighty nice. read more

I have been looking for a local coffee roaster. First I was looking for flavor taste quality and service. I have found one Blind dog coffee local roaster. They have their coffee in a number 1 coffee shop and sells package coffee at Raleys ,Whole Foods and others. The product tastes great service is great. Mark the owner gives to Angel kiss a great company. Check out his coffee at raleys or whole foods. You will be hooked on the great coffee and it is local. I am goin to use his coffee in my shop and at home. Thanks Mark at Blind Dog Coffee read more

We were sorry to see the retail location in Gardnerville close down, but we still enjoy their coffee. Now we get it at their roasting facility on Short Lane. Smells great, tastes better. I'm not much of a black coffee drinker because I like all of the sweet creamers and such. But their coffee is so smooth I like it without all the "fixins'". Very nice people! read more

My family and I learned about Blind Dog Coffee during a family vacation to Lake Tahoe over 2 years ago. Blind Dog Coffee has become a household staple ever since. The quality that goes into there Coffee's is always there. I live in North Carolina and every time I need something it gets resolve quickly with either an email or a phone call. You can tell the people that work at Blind Dog love what they do. I am a customer for life and fueled by Blind Dog Coffee.... read more

I've been purchasing coffee from Blind Dog for a couple of years and found that they all treat me like part of their family! I buy unroasted beans a lot because I like to roast my own, but I have tasted various roasts that Blind Dog has and they are all spectacular! They also have some chocolates that are quite good... read more

Everyone was very friendly and we had stopped just to buy some coffee beans. They had just started making coffee for customer so I had some coffee and it was so damn good. I can't wait to see them expand their place! I will definitely be road tripping back read more

Visited Blind Dog Coffee and they have an open espresso bar now with syrups from New Zeland, Shott. Syrup is not to sweet and has a great flavor. Excellent flavor of coffees and lattes! Great customer service and always welcoming. You need to stop by!! Best coffee place! read more

In case any other out of towners want to try this place, it's not a retail location. It's only a roasting shop, so there is no coffee or sitting to be had read more

We love the coffee, fresh and delicious. Thank them for being local and keeping is caffeinated.

We ordered a bag of the Death Valley Roast off their website. it arrived within 5 days. Fantastic coffee. Can't wait to try the other blends. read more

Great coffee, great people, great story! And thanks to their gift packs got my Christmas shopping for that hard to buy for person done!

The Nevada Black is AMAZING! On vacation here and were so sad to not have our delicious dark roast from home. We were very pleasantly surprised when we found this at the Red Hut Creamery. I drank 3 large cups it was so delicious! Even went back to get more before going to breakfast at a different place the next morning. Way to go Blind Dog. read more

Some friends gifted me a bag of Nevada Black a few years ago. BEST coffee I have ever had! Rich,flavorful,yet smooth. the perfect way to start the morning. Hope to try some of the other flavors as well:) read more

The Blind Dog Coffee Cafe has closed.... There is a new coffee place there....Coffee on Main....which has another location in Minden...that location is drive through. This is a larger place with some seating... read more

I am a serious coffee drinker! The first time I tried Nevada Black I was visiting my daughter.......first cup in the morning and WOW! I was hooked. Wonderful rich smooth full flavor. It's bar none....the best! read more

This is the best coffee you will find anywhere. There is nothing added to these varieties (oils, spices) so the wonder flavor that come across are the result of expert bean selection and roasting. Compare it to similar varieties that cost sometimes twice as much in blind taste and you'll pick Blind Dog Coffee every time! read more

I first tried their coffee when I bought a bag of whole bean French Roast from a grocery store in Lake Tahoe. It was so delicious that I now order their coffee and have it delivered to San Diego! Also, I love the inspirational and thankful story of the owner! Thankfulness is the key to happiness a d kindness! read more

We tasted Blind Dog Coffee about 5 years ago on a visit to Reno. We have been drinking it ever since that day. Since we live in Northern Ca. we order our coffee and have it sent to our door. Blind Dog coffee exceeds any of the major coffee companies. Keep up the great work and quality of your coffee and business. read more

We love this coffee!!!! so glad you can get it at Costco. It is rich and smooth

I love love this coffee. Expertly roasted. Unfortunately not found in every store. Nevada Black is one of my favorites.
