The coffee shop that's named dog related and isn't dog friendly is total BS . I entered and they said "service dogs" only without asking or bother seeing verification or anything first. Don't name your coffee shop a dog related if you r ain't a dog friendly spot read more

We had ice cream here and it was wonderful. The service was outstanding. The two girls behind the counter were very friendly and helped a gentleman who had left his cell phone outside. They had a lot of baked goods for sale and they all looked amazing. The ambience was really nice and tables inside and outside. read more

The location and cozy seating is great here, but I wouldn't come back if I was looking for a good latte and breakfast. Today, I had a hot 12oz latte that was mostly milk and milk that tasted past its prime. Also had a chorizo breakfast burrito that was all heat, little flavor and heated in the paper it's wrapped in - resulting in a soggy mess. I've been here in the past and had an excellent iced vanilla latte, so maybe it's a bad day. If you're looking for baked goods, they appear to have plenty! So maybe come for an afternoon pick me up instead of breakfast. For the inconsistency between great and awful, I'll land on 3 stars. read more

We enjoyed Brown Dog Coffee Company! I tried their Raspberry muffin, it was warm and tasty with a lot of raspberries inside! I also had a 16oz hot dirty chai with gingerbread. I think it was a bit strong for my personal taste, so maybe next time I'll get it with one shot (but I don't think that poorly reflects on the establishment at all! Just a personal preference for you dirty chai lovers!). Service was amazing and the lady who served us was incredibly friendly! read more

What a welcome surprise when visiting such a small town. The shop had a vibe and contained a variety of items, such as souvenir cups and t-shirts. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with our orders. The drinks came out quickly and tasted great. Our son ordered a breakfast burrito which smelled very good and was verified to be delicious. Would definitely return if we are ever back in town. read more

We just had a chance to stop by and try a cup of coffee for our hike this morning. It was the two worst coffee's I've ever bought. The kid was super nice! So I do give him props for that! We ordered two simple drinks, a flat white and a pumpkin spice latte. The pumpkin spice latte didn't even have any coffee taste in it at all! I ordered a small flat white, the cup was a quarter full, seriously! I asked what's this and he said that's how they make them. He asked if I wanted a little more milk, sure why not. We walked out of the store trying the drinks. This is the first time I ever threw both drinks in the trash out the door! 2 cookies and 2 drinks $18 bucks. That's a waste of a good earned dollar first thing in the morning! read more

Popped in here (twice) during a weekend trip to salida. Cool little shop, was disappointed to see that they didn't have a lot of business, hopefully they get a good early morning crowd. I loved the Mexican mocha, which is why i stopped in the next day. read more

One of my first days in this town and stopped I'm here for a root beer float! More root. Less beer. I'm not sure if I'm bias because I'm from a town known for their soda making but if you like root beer that taste like grass go for it! Next time I got a milkshake in the same circumstance basically a few weeks ago, and it was pretty good! If you like milkshakes I'd say you could go here but there are better options in downtown a short walk away. Service was good nothing wrong with it and they were very kind! And the vibes were just your usual coffee shop vibes with people working and sipping coffee! read more

We went twice on our vacation because it was so good. Excellent Service - there was a line both days but if you are patient it's worth the wait! I highly recommend the smothered breakfast burrito - very delicious and the green chili as a little kick but not too spicy. read more

Cutest little spot for coffee drinks, beans, tumblers or other swag. Salida location even has some ice cream! Cutest staff with the best attitude! read more

Stopped here to check out the coffee and was drawn in by the pumpkin bread also. Nice quaint location with a delicious array of coffees. I recommend a stop here if your in town. The staff was also helpful and kind. read more

Great place to stop in for a good cup of jo'. Well stocked on different bagged coffees, mugs and cups. They have some tasty bakery items including gluten free. Plenty of places to sit and pull out the laptop and connect to wifi and do some work. Bathrooms are clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

This was the cutest coffee shop and staff was kind and welcoming - and very helpful! We got a burrito, turkey and cheese croissant, and I got an English toffee coffee and all were delightful. It was neat atmosphere, but got a little crammed when busy. Would definitely come back! read more

Love the Spicy Chai latte here and the smoothies are pretty good too! A local and visitors favorite

Moving is tough. Maybe you're moving from California or Texas. Or maybe you're just a big fat dork from Golden and decide that Salida is the town for you. But I think we can agree that everyone needs refreshments. And that's why Brown Dog is a great option. And they have lots of coffee varieties and a multitude of baked goods to help you carb load when you're shooting down the mountain or just planning on ruining an otherwise good town on your own. "Let's make it like Breckenridge" is the new town motto, I'm told. So stop in, enjoy the town, and make sure to change the culture. And then move back to Golden. read more

My daughter and I stopped in here before a long day of sightseeing and activities in/around Salida last week. The barista was really nice and you can tell she knew who the regulars were. She was really chatty with them, which was fun to see. I ordered an iced chai tea latte and a breakfast burrito and my daughter ordered a piece of pumpkin bread. Everything was really good. A great coffee shop that I would go back to again. read more

Large menu, good location, rude service. I ran in for a quick iced latte, with extra ice. I get the feeling that if your not a regular and ask for anything extra or different from the menu your going to get some extreme passive aggressive attitudes. And if you ask for anything after you get your order like extra ice it's going to be a thing with them. I tipped but afterward I wished I hadn't because the coffee was mediocre and the two women were beyond rude. read more

Very rude barista. No wonder this business is up for sale. AND no wonder Starbucks puts places like this out of business. Other coffee places in town are MUCH nicer. read more

VERY RUDE male barista 5/11/24 @ 1:30pm. No customer service etiquette Watch out if you ask a question --- he will snap! I arrived in a good mood but left pissed off. Wish I read prior Yelp reviews before I decided to try it. Multiple complaints of rude service. Coffee drinks were average Starbucks rules!!!! They don't tolerate rude employees read more

4 stars for the extensive and less common specialty coffee drinks, such as Mexican Mocha, Raspberry white mocha, Salty dog (like a salted caramel), milky way, and almond joy--a menu built for sugar addicts! You CAN request less sweet though, which I did. They also have pastries and a few breakfast items, and even ice cream (not the best looking ice cream, but it's available for those who want ice cream with their coffee!). Coffee was good. Restroom was available. Nice place to stop at. read more

Tasty coffee and a decent vibe overall, but I think it could be better organized and the baristas were quite sub-par (slow, unfriendly) which for me really brought down the overall rating. read more

Great coffee shop. Local art decorates the walls. Outstanding white mocha and eatery, while I didn't partake, looks yummy. Outside seating for those with pups in tow. read more

I think the service here was not very good.. I ordered 4 chai lattes and either they didn't listen to me when I ordered or they scammed me, I only received three and they made me look stupid whenever I said nicely I think we had one more. Good coffee bad service. read more

@BrownDog_Coffee Signs of 'dream' and 'hope' in the bathroom made me chortle out loud. Oh I dreamt. I tried the iced Americano at the Buena Vista location and here. The large seemed medium. The chorizo breakfast burrito was pricy and small. It did not satisfy my morning breakfast appetite. One of the cooks/baristas was very abrupt and loud, almost seemingly talking down to customers who asked her the most simple of questions. I could hear irritants in her voice. I will not return to this location unless I am desperate for coffee. I was not impressed. Still, I recommend at least giving it a try to support local businesses. You'll be glad you did. Hopefully. This location was vastly different than the Buena Vista location. read more

Go! If you're looking for a great-tasting cup of coffee, a cute brown dog, and some delicious pastries, this is your spot. We did not try any of the food so I can't speak to that. The people were friendly, the coffee was delicious, I have a chocolate lab so I'm biased, but who doesn't want a dog on their coffee cup. They had gluten-free, dairy-free breakfast pastries and desserts, homemade. Anyone that serves our community like that is a must! And the outdoor seating is perf! Enjoy it. read more

Great coffee! The place is cozy, warm and everything we had was well made and delicious! read more

I popped in for some breakfast and a cup of joe on the last day of our NYE trip in Salida. It was just what we needed - cozy and welcoming little shop offering everything you need to get your day started on the right note! They even serve Boulder Ice Cream and fresh fruit smoothies! We went ahead and ordered the chorizo and veggie burritos along with some coffee. The burritos were made in advanced and heated up after you order. They were very tasty and just the right amount of food leaving you satisfied without feeling stuffed. The coffee was pretty good as well! My boyfriend had the raspberry muffin which was delightful! Overall, this coffee shop is just like all the businesses in Salida that we visited - offering excellent service and hight quality goods! That's why it's been our favorite place to visit in Colorado! read more

The perfect coffee shop: inviting atmosphere, and attentive staff who care about serving a great coffee. Stopped in last wknd on a beautiful Saturday - the streets of Salida we're hopping, and Brown a Dog was right there, beckoning us in. The warm greeting by the staff made us instantly comfortable- as if we had walked in every day prior. Ordered an Americano and Latte, and could not have been better. In coffee heaven, I mistakenly walked out while leave my eyeglasses on the counter. But not to worry- called the next day and the owner kindly packaged them up and sent them to me. I'll always stop in for a fresh brew every time I'm in Salida. Great town - great coffee. read more

Stopped by to get something to eat on a drive from Buena Vista down to Canyon city following the Arkansas River. I got a vegetarian breakfast burrito here and it was amazing! So many times the burritos the flavors in the food is smashed together but that wasn't the case with this burrito. It was fresh each element was distinct and it was incredibly delicious. read more

Came here at opening and got the Caramel Macchiato. It was very delicious and tasted better than any Starbucks drink you can get. Please take some time and support this local business! read more

Great vibe, coffee was good, people were nice! Only downside were the pastries were a bit bland or old feeling.

Had some good breakfast burritos here. A good quick grab and go option in Salida. One of the few places open early in downtown Salida.

Glad they're open with covid and all. Good coffee and latte. Good hot chocolate. Tell them make it hot otgerwise itcwill be kid temp. Nice selection of pastries. Id like to see more gf options beyond fudge and chocolates but maybe not enough supply or demand in BV. Nice coffee! read more

the iced coffee and matcha were delicious. Ben helped us and truly was so great - kind, helpful, patient - he took pride in the service he provided and it showed and we appreciated it! read more

Four stars because the interior had plenty of comfortable seating and a nice interior. Because I feel coffee shops are 50%+ about atmosphere, this place rates high and I would probably return, especially if I were killing time/taking a break from walking around. That being said, the iced coffee was watery and very strange tasting. Overall very unpleasant and unsatisfying. read more

Came in for an iced chai on a hot day and was happy I did. Great little spot, very charming right along the main area in downtown Salida. This will be my go to spot to stop in for a tea when I'm in town. read more

I never leave reviews but this horrible experience was worth it. The barista was extremely rude from the very moment we walked in. She began by telling us the espresso machine was "broken" and when we asked for dark roast instead of light roast coffee instead she was annoyed that she had to make more coffee. Any questions we asked she was irritated and gave annoyed facial expressions. She was also this way with the elderly couple behind us. Store hours online and outside said closing was at 6, not 4:30 as she reminded us multiple times. read more

Decent coffee, limited seating options, staff take their time to make sure your order is correct. Great place to grab a drink when you have a few minutes. read more

Awesome environment, good ice cream, & easy access from F St. BUT i've been going here since they opened years ago & my coffee has not been good in a very long time. I love to support local businesses here but there are other coffee shops in town that definitely serve better coffee on a consistent basis! (Cafe Dawn- is even less than a block away from Brown Dog) :/ read more

What a charming and funky place. Outstanding service and atmosphere. Good selection of drinks and ice cream. Very personal service by the two delilghtful people working there this afternoon. See photos below. Amazing bargain on small portions of ice cream, and you can have two different flavors in the cup. Will try their all day breakfast items some day soon. Don't worry if you can't find a nearby parking spot. Take your time here in Salida, the best kept secret in Colorado. UPDATED two morning later. Four of us had free-form breakfasts here. Croissants were average, as was the veggie burrito. Coffee ratings ranged from good to not very good. Best things were excellent berry smoothie and dog-friendly antique tables/chairs in front. read more
