Black Gold Coffee Roasters

We were passing through on our way to Naples and so glad we stopped by! Super friendly and amazing coffee. If you don’t know what to get, the vanilla latte is a must. This place was so welcoming it makes me wish it was closer to home. If you’re looking for good coffee and friendly employees, look no further!!

This place is great! I’m pretty specific on my coffee and this place never disappoints! My kids love coming in and picking out some amazing pastries being served by the super nice staff! Definitely recommend!

Always worth a stop whenever I'm in the Venice area. Today's cafe mocha and raspberry white chocolate scone were so delicious. Thank you Gary and crew for bringing such a nice coffee shop to Venice!

We only stopped to buy coffee to take home. They roast their coffee right there. But they have a cafe too.

If you live within 50 miles of Venice, FL, love coffee, and have not visited Black Gold before, you are doing yourself a disservice. If you don't live near Venice, order and have them ship.
I am a part time resident 4+ months/year. I first discovered them probably 3-4 years ago.
Several things stand out. They source the finest micro lots, the beans are perfectly roasted to bring out the best qualities of each lot, and last, but hardly least, the knowledge and love of the owner and all of the staff when it comes to their coffees.
For what it is worth, their current crop from Kenya is equal to or better than anything I have had before, and I have had great coffees from around the world!
Thanks for your suggestions, Gary!

Great coffee. They roast their own beans. I buy the beans for my coffee from them. No comparison to any other coffee shop around. They are only open until 2pm. Be sure you get there before then.

Truly artesian coffee. An incredible amount of knowledge and skill goes into the roasting process from the owner, Gary. The coffee selection is extensive and it’s wonderful to have the opportunity to learn about the farms, families, and countries growing the beans. Every staff member I’ve encountered is friendly, helpful, and they all seem to enjoy their job and each other. The teamwork is outstanding. This is by far the best coffee and they’ve clearly worked diligently to create an enjoyable space and experience for all. Highly recommend.

The owners are extremely rude and feel extremely entitled just because they have mediocre coffee. Every time my fiancé and I have came to Black and Gold, the lady owner always has something to say and has belittled us every time. She is very unprofessional with the way she speaks to customers , and how she responds to negative feedback. If you don’t believe me just read the negative comments and look at her responses. She clearly has to defend herself because she knows the customers are right about her narcissistic ways. I think the community would enjoy this coffee shop a lot more if she just wasn’t there. I am looking forward to her response!

Best tasting coffee, great atmosphere and friendly staff. We just moved here and have been trying out different places around town for coffee. Black Gold coffee is so smooth! I have tried both the muffins and scones which are delicious. We have found our place!!

Gary, owner, recognized us on day two! Great conversation and told him he has converted my husband to great coffee!! Super guy. Excellent service. Amazing coffee, deserts, and food! If I lived here I would be a regular!! Annnnnd...Annandale... Iowa Hawkeye fans we love the name!!!
