This is a very cute and cozy coffee shop with more seating than I expected. There's a fireplace that was lit on a cold morning when I visited, which was a very nice touch. I got a latte and a bagel which were both good.

A truly lovely little cafe. I wish I lived closer because it would be a regular stop, but as it is I'm buying these coffee beans for home because they were that good!

Cafe with amazing atmosphere and delicious drinks. Lots of fun seating options with an outdoor section that's very scenic.

There are plenty of great small coffee shops along Carson St., but this one easily stands out as the best! The staff is always friendly, including the owner, who’s there every single day. The food menu has a wide variety, and everything I’ve tried absolutely slaps. The coffee is always on point and gets my day off to the right start. My coworker and I come here daily now, and I can’t recommend it enough!

Cozy coffee experience. Plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy your hand-crafted beverage. There are pasties too!
It was so enjoyable, that I ended up sitting in here for an hour without realizing

I’ve been coming here often for their apple cake, which I had once and liked but it’s rarely available.

Today, they finally had it, and I asked specifically for one particular slice on display since some others looked smaller or a bit mushed up. The person taking my order (I believe he’s the owner) gave me a completely different one, the exact one I didn’t want. When I politely asked again for the one I had pointed to, he refused and said, “They’re all the same.”

Even if they are the same, I don’t understand the problem with giving a paying customer the one they asked for. The attitude was unnecessarily dismissive,

Between the long waits, inconsistent pastry availability, and unwelcoming service, this visit was disappointing enough to leave this review.

Comfy, cozy neighborhood coffee lounge with a cool vibe inside and on the patio.

The featured artist screamed in my face after treating me disrespectfully on multiple occasions, including in front of colleagues, causing real harm. This individual is known for having a temper and a poor reputation around town, so this wasn’t really about me — it was about his lack of self-control. I absolutely loath male aggression and don’t think there should be any tolerance for it. I suggested that the owners create an opportunity to showcase a female artist for one afternoon, but unfortunately, the owner’s wife said it was “too much trouble” They choose to support only one aggressive and inappropriate artist rather than fostering a true community for all. So please don’t mistake the amateur art on the walls as support for local artists. They absolutely do not support local artists or women. The opposite is true, and after being a very loyal customer for two years, I feel incredibly disrespected.

I stopped at Big Dog Coffee and liked the cozy, welcoming feel—the coffee was tasty, and it felt like a comfortable spot to sit and relax for a while.

This place has a really nice ambiance and is a great spot for studying or taking pictures. However, it does get very busy and crowded. Unfortunately, the drinks my husband and I ordered were disappointing—I tried the frozen mochaccino and the pumpkin spice latte, and neither had much flavor. For the price, I expected better quality. There are definitely more affordable spots nearby where you can get tastier coffee.

I love the space! I had the most delicious pumpkin spice latte there. I highly recommend Big Dog Coffee.
