Black Gold Coffee Roasters

The quality of black gold coffee is 5 star. The best coffee to be found in this area. The owner is the roaster, and the pride he takes in doing it just right and his commitment to personally traveling to find the best beans throughout the world is evident. I include bags of black gold coffee in gift baskets when giving people a selection of my favorite items in Venice …. Everyone always comments on the coffee and usually continues to order it online. It’s also fun for people to see the giant roasting machine in the cafe. The food selection is not plentiful …. It’s all about the coffee.

An excellent little coffee shop, well designed inside, great place to have a coffee with friends. The coffee itself is amazing, the staff are extremely approachable and knowledgeable. When they have the home cooked bakery goods definitely give them a try. They treat you like family because it is a family business.

My favorite coffee shop in Sarasota/Venice! Always a friendly and welcoming experience. I love going there on the days they are roasting the coffee beans because the smell in the shop is absolutely mesmerizing. This is my go-to for cold brew coffee. I bought a growler and get it refilled weekly. They have a small selection of cookies and pastries as well.

Only been here once. A bit pricey for a mediocre latte, but I can't speak to their whole menu, of course. However, a coffee shop is more than its coffee. The entire concept of a cafe is the warm, energetic and open atmosphere for socializing, working, etc. Unfortunately, I'm not willing to go back to this establishment due to the overwhelming amount of negative reviews I've read across multiple platforms. Maybe I would overlook the reviews and ignore the criticism, if not for the ridiculously unprofessional responses from the owner. Absolute worst way to respond to criticism that I have ever seen, and due to this, I simply cannot fund his business endeavors. These responses are absurd enough that I almost want to go to the shop again and then write a mild critique on something, just to see what kind of incredibly scathing response I can get. It would be entertaining. But I'm not going to do that. In a way, this is a mild critique of its own, so maybe I can get my scathing. Either way, I'm just going to scroll through all the reviews and responses and chuckle.

Really nice atmosphere and really great coffee. Only complaint I have is the employee gave me the wrong coffee and then insisted that I had ordered something that I didn't want. Other than that I would recommend this coffee shop. I will update my review next time if the service has improved.

I have been here a couple times and they have knocked it out of the park each time. Not only with the coffee they make but with the service they have! I don't give many 5 star ratings but this place is top notch!!

Great coffee spot!! I have been looking for a good coffee roaster to buy beans, and this place is great. I also tried their Lattes on my visit and they were amazing. I tried the recommended turtle and honey bee lattes which were both amazing. I'm definitely coming back to this place again. thanks!!

We get our fresh ground coffee here always! Excellent coffee. Pastries are really good too.

The latte was very good.
The buckeye was very good as well:)

Amazing coffee. Amazing people. Amazing customer service. This is by far the best coffee Florida has to offer. Don't let a couple of losers leaving negative reviews because they're salty that they couldn't camp out all day for $4 dissuade you... Go on in and get some real coffee that doesn't suck. Or you could hang out at Starbucks all day and just buy a bottle of water. It's your coffee, do you boo boo.
