Black Dog Coffee House x 10th Ave

Everything is awesome with one little tidbit. I’d like to see changed. Drip coffee comes very hot because it comes out of those containers. But I usually order a mocha and they never come out. Very hot warm yes but not hot hot

I’m a coffee enthusiast. I’ve spent years perfecting my morning V60 at home, fussing over paper types, brewing temp and filter placement, so I rarely expect a coffee shop to surprise me. But earlier today, my wife and I were on our way to Washington when we pulled off the highway and discovered this little coffee shop tucked into a quiet corner of town.

When I took that first sip, I felt genuine warmth in the cup. The roast was balanced just right, the milk was silky smooth and every flavor note stood out—nothing was masked and nothing felt rushed. It wasn’t flashy or over-engineered, it was just coffee made with care.

I couldn’t leave without thanking the barista and all employees. Their bright smile felt like running into old friends. If I lived nearby, I know they’d ask “The usual?” before I even spoke, and I’d feel right at home saying yes. This place isn’t chasing trends, it’s pouring care into every cup. If you’re passing through, treat yourself to a real, heartwarming coffee. You won’t regret it.

Very good food and coffee served by friendly staff!

Super cute, dog friendly coffee shop with amazing lattes that are served with the perfect ratio of milk to espresso! The decor inside is hip and welcoming, with walls filled with dog pics and lots of seating. They also have outdoor seating which we enjoyed.

I had their summer special, and iced “Marigold Latte” with oatmilk and it was great!

Food options are mostly pastries with a breakfast sandwich, and no GF or DF options that I could see.

Very cool neighborhood coffee shop and cafe. Serene patio to enjoy a coffee and have a pastry or something more substantial for breakfast.

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff. Popular coffee house if you’re a animal lover.

I love coming here for relaxation, good food, great coffee and the staff is just amazing. Highly recommend. Also their chocolate croissant is my favorite but sells out fast.

I went to the location on 24th and the first girl didn't even greet me just said rudely, "she'll help you over there". oh,ok so I moved over and the 2nd girl did say hi but didn't ask what size I wanted. After the coffee was done all I heard was "here's that Americano for you". No thank you or have a nice day or see you again. Absolutely were not friendly at all. The coffee itself was horrible and weak. I can get better coffee at the gas station. Thank you for serving me today but I will not be back.

High tops have plenty of outlets to plug in at. Coffee is great, pumpkin bread was phenomenal (I only just remembered to take a photo before finishing it)

I got an iced latte. Coffee was great. The mango hibiscus iced tea was good. There is not food like it says on google. They do have quiche, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. Just fast grab & go!

While passing through Billings, I googled coffee shops. A couple came up with 4.8 stars, even a 4.9, but when we saw the number of reviews, Black Dog Coffee House won.

Upon entering, you see everything you expect to see in a coffee shop. The woman taking our order was professional and friendly.

Now I’m not going to say that paying almost $30 for two drinks and two chocolate croissants wasn’t a bit of sticker shock? But the moment we took the first sip? In the top three coffee shops in the 17 states that we’ve been in since mid-May, without a doubt. The coffee to breve ratio was outstanding, the coffee flavor impeccable.

And then we tasted the chocolate croissant. They would have been worth it had our final bill been $50.

I have to stop and give context. I’ve lived in France and traveled in Europe extensively (as a student, on a student’s budget, lest I sound too “doo-wah”). As a vegetarian, the cuisine wasn’t my thing. The bread, on the other hand? Absolutely my thing. And in Europe, bread is amazing. It’s like without even trying, they made it perfect. And doesn’t matter what it is, croissants, baguettes, pretzels. You name it they outdo us.

The chocolate croissants (and I assume all the pastries) are made in-house. When I spoke with the baker who creates these masterpieces, I expected an accent…French, undoubtedly. Nope! American as they come! But gifted beyond all but a few!

If you’re within 100 miles, you should go out of your way to visit Black Dog Coffee. But seriously. There should be some way to give them more than 5 stars, much like students who achieve a 4.37 GPA? That’s Black Dog Coffee House.

The coffee was so bad, I felt like they used hot sauce instead of water to make their coffee. I had an espresso and a filter coffee and both were the most bitter and horrible coffees I’ve ever tasted. I threw both of the drinks in the garbage immediately after tasting it. Never coming back.
