Reviews For Brown Dog Coffee Company

Stopped through here on our way to Lander - When we walked in, it smelled like chili cheese fries and I thought I was back at home for a hot minute. But I digress, we’re big coffee people and we also love to visit Colorado. This was the best coffee I’ve had to date in all our years of stops! Our cashier (Janene) was literally the sweetest and clearly loved her job. So much so that my daughter even mentioned how nice she was. We customized our drinks and she made my daughter something she loved. We would definitely stop here again!! Don’t pass this place up. If we had more time, we would have eaten here as well but still got a little sweet treat to go that was also delicious. We love supporting local places no matter where we go over big chains!!

A unique coffee shop. The decor is eclectic and beautiful. The staff were very nice and the smell of breakfast burritos being made were outstanding. A great way to start the day walking around beautiful downtown Salida.

Always a destination stop in either Salida or Buena Vista Colorado. Lots of unique and classic flavor choices, plus the coffee shop ambience.

Love the interior and lighting of Brown Dog Coffee. I recommend the Espresso Shake. The couches are comfy if you are just want it sit and relax. Ice cream is a nice treat on a hot day also.

Very good coffee. I had the caramel macchiato, which was just sweet enough and at perfect temperature. Greg had a latte and said it was perfect, and his slice of pie (berries of the woods?) was one of the best pies we've ever had... and that says a lot! I had an almond twist, and although it was very stale, it was still tasty. Very friendly service. Clean establishment with self-serve water and a good number of places to sit.

Awesome coffee! Great location in downtown on main drag. Small town customer service with a smile. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Really good coffee, very stiff but not bitter. Very tasty chocolate marble cake as well. The location, setting and wait staff is great.
