Black Gold Coffee Roasters

My new favorite spot. While I waited for my coffee the owner shared stories about the communities he imports coffee from and the people who make it all happen. Such a warm experience every time I visit. Try the Honey Latte.

Great service and cool decor, however their roasts are all burnt. Some people I know love dark roasts, but all the roasts they have are way too dark for me. If you like your coffee bitter and burnt or you order lattes and the like with lots of sugar and syrup this is a 5 star for you. If you enjoy tasting coffee skip it.

Favorite local coffee shop! My boyfriend and I travel for work and are always trying local coffee shops and this is by far the best we’ve had. The staff there are always so friendly and welcoming as well. We were stopping so often that we decided to start getting the cold brew growler and it is so worth it! Once you buy the growler you can get it refilled for only $20 (plus a little extra if you want flavor added). Such a good deal and the coffee tastes amazing. The honey bee iced coffee is my favorite and my boyfriend loves the turtle iced coffee. Definitely a must try if you’re in the Venice area!

The owner/managers here are an absolute delight to meet each time we come in. The service they provide is consistently impeccable.

Let's talk about the coffee. My first latte here was served with beautiful art from the founder of the business a few years ago. The first sip was a full-flavor experience that redefined what I thought to be real coffee. This is how coffee is meant to be experienced.

I now make my lattes at home and exclusively buy my beans from Black Gold. This way, I can enjoy the coffee and the experience whenever I choose. I am grateful to support this local business that takes pride in the quality of its brews and the care they provide for environmentally conscientious farmers.

Treat yourself to the taste of authenticity with a fresh brewed full-flavor coffee from Black Gold. Afterwards, you'll never settle for less.

My go to local roastery, bakery, and café! Black gold is convenient to my place of work.
They serve fine specialty coffee. My favorite drink, medium mocha blanco w/extra shot of expresso!
This place has a relaxing atmosphere. Clean environment. Owner is nice, great staff, and they all deliver exceptional customer service! Thank you!

I absolutely love this coffee shop. They’re freshly baked goods are amazing. The coffee and espresso are so enjoyable. Friendly service. Locally owned. It’s also so neat to see the coffee beans being roasted!

Highly recommend - give this place a try! A great place to lay back, chill or work. The food, coffee and tea is amazing. Very clean inside and the staff is friendly. The owner is very friendly as well and knowledgeable about his craft, it was a pleasure speaking with him. This is what I expect from a coffee shop and Black Gold Coffee Roasters exceeded expectations.

excellent coffee in a cool space. friendly staff. Get the orange cranberry muffin! Honey bee is tasty, as is cold brew and whole bean or ground coffee to take home. There's a reason they've won so many awards!

Talked to the owner Gary yesterday, very nice guy. Coffee is the best I've had anywhere in a long time. One of the few original places in town, would love for them to expand!

As someone with severe ADHD and social anxiety, asking me to wait in line with 20+ people in tightly confined spaces filled with even more people is a big ask. So as I often do in situations like that, I put on a video and held it to my ear to listen to it. A woman behind the counter called out very loudly to me, saying I needed to turn off my phone (much louder than anything else in the store). She asked me to stop watching a video on my phone because they don't allow that. They are well within their rights to make whatever rules they want in their business. I'd argue that I have a disability, and they should have been accommodating. But there are plenty of places that do, so I won't be coming back.

EDIT: After writing this review I was contacted by the owner of this business and he threatened to get the authorities involved for expressing my opinion about their business.
