We love this place! We are new to town and first had their coffee at the farmer's market. Then we visited the roastery and it's a pretty cool place (obviously with delicious coffee). Their chocolate is also good.
I was out at Shenandoah junction for baseball game and stopped by Black dog coffee to get some coffee for homemade cold brew. The coffee is excellent but the young lady at the front was not very nice or hospitable. I had questions about the coffee and buying a t-shirt and it was almost like I was annoying her by asking questions to spend $50 at their coffee shop.
Delicious iced coffee but alittle pricey.
This place used to be amazing but for the past year their turnover rate is terrible. I was an OG customer and still have a thousand "collect 9 to get a free coffee" sleeves. It now reminds me of Dunkin Donuts because the coffee is different every time due to new staff. Judging by the owner's responses on here I'm sure they fault it to "no one wants to work" and not their own management. It's a real shame!
This may be the best coffee I will ever have in my lifetime.
Always a good local brew coffee shop to visit, and next to the railroad tracks
They sell bags of coffee beans you need to grind. Coffee is ok, it's not strong enough for my taste.
Best coffee on the planet and it’s right here in Kearneysville everybody needs to come and experience what all of us locals prize and cherish
Really good coffee for both the beans and an in store coffee. I like a light coffee and really like the Ethiopian beans
The turnover rate is the worst I've ever seen which not only is an indication of poor management but it also takes away any hopes of getting consistency on repeated visits. It is also obvious that there is no positive communication at all between management. In regards to Miss Nerdy's review, it wasn't totally true as she left out the part of the co-owner sitting around the shop after hours passing around joints with her favorite customers and mixing moonshine drinks. The mice problem will always exist because of the location and out of sight cleaning is not a priority. The mold will continue to be an issue because once again, out of sight cleanliness is not a concern and focus is shifted to more important things like me riding an e-bike to the regional jail and back. If I get the childish and very dishonest response from management that Miss Nerdy received, I will not hesitate to post proof to multiple social media platforms because honesty and transparency with customers is what really matters most.
Down home atmosphere and friendly. Reasonable price.
Excellent coffee! Friendly pleasant skilled barista and real nice staff. Ordered a double expresso and hot chocolate with a dollop of whip cream.
If you're passing through and need a pick-me-up, stop here. Coffee and coffee drinks are top notch. Friendly staff, line moves pretty well, they have a point system so you get free drinks to fuel your addiction.
I live this place it is my go to every Friday morning the people there are nice the coffee is good and you can smell the beans as soon as you walk threw the door. It's wonderful!!!
New favorite coffee spot! I love how friendly the staff is. Highly recommend whatever special they have as they are always on point. The elderberry tea is also delicious!
One of my favorite places to get coffee, The barista‘s make up some really good specials!
Great local coffee. They have a large variety of flavors and milk options for everyone. I consistently get their iced lattes and they have all been fantastic! Maybe I'm not as much of a connoisseur as others but I have never noticed their coffee tasting burnt, always delicious!
My go-to for locally roasted coffee beans for the espresso machine. Always a crowd too; that's a tell-tale of the food and drinks they serve.
The beans sold for retail at this location taste ashen, like they were roasted improperly. You're still better off buying the beans though because Black Dog's beans require more rest than most roasteries' beans because they're very high in CO2, which is a little ironic given the place's obsession with freshly roasted beans. Usually for brewed coffee coffee beans require 3-5 days rest and espresso 10-14. I haven't had good experience making black dog coffee in my brewer with anything less than 16 days rest, and even then it's not much to write home about. The tasting notes aren't written on the bags and have to be found either on little placards or online, which can be frustrating if you're trying to pick something out, and the place charges $19 per bag. I'm not opposed to paying extra for good coffee (and do, frequently), but this isn't good and it doesn't earn that price. If you absolutely must buy from a local roaster, Weird Brothers and Cafe Amouri are just on the other side of the state border, reasonable for a weekend trip. If you're on the go and just want a cup of coffee immediately without having to make it yourself, Joan and Joe on the southern end of Charles Town makes a lot more sense
I really want to like this place but everytime I get coffee it’s really inconsistent. The majority of the time the coffee taste burnt. I think their baristas need more training. I went today and it had the strangest burnt aftertaste. I also think they should use another bean for their espresso ive bought their more expensive beans and they taste better than what they serve over counter. Lastly we always place a online order and for two coffees it takes a estimated wait time of 30 mins and it isn’t even busy half the time. Which leads me to believe the baristas need more training. I do hope they train the staff a bit more bc I would love to keep supporting a local business.
