Had the lobster rolls and lobster bisque after being recommended. Bisque was delicious. Lobster roll was very disappointing; mostly fake crab and fish. Would not recommend it. Service was great. read more

Spectacular quality drip coffee. Better than many pour overs I have had elsewhere. Only roaster in this county.

I'm hooked! The breakfast is delish. The menu has something for everyone's taste. If not there are wonderful baked goods and delicious biscotti! They have a tremendous selection of coffee and wonderful teas. The barista's are top notch and so are the chefs in the kitchen. This is a very casual and laid-back atmosphere. read more

Great coffee and atmosphere. Really hopeful for this relatively new small business! Someday maybe giving Starbucks a run for its money. read more

This adorable cafe is a must go to for coffee in the area! The truth of the matter it doesn't even seem like it fits in in the Citrus Hills area! I'm a New Yorker and wish Cattle Dog was in my home town :) my aunt has been frequenting this coffee shop for as long as I can remember ...she would fly to Florida every 6 months to visit my grandparents and each and every time she walked in to get her coffee they remembered her exact order! Unbelievable! Reasonably priced coffee and tea with lots of variety, tasty bites to eat, and even wall art by local artists! Definitely stop here if you are in the area and looking for a neighborhood gem read more

Always enjoy stopping in for a cup of Java the atmosphere is relaxing. Not to mention great coffee.

LOVE CATTLE DOG! I grew up in Citrus County and there was often no place to go to just get a good cup of coffee. I believe this place opened up some time when I was in college and it became a good study spot when I was back at home over breaks. I spent this past summer studying for my boards at Cattle Dog and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. They'd remember my order and bring snacks to my table when I was busy studying. Adore this place and glad CC has a good coffee shop! read more

My mother in law is in the nursing home close by so we've been passing by this place a few times. As a coffee shop lover I knew I needed to stop and was ecstatic. Because I love coffee shops so much this review may seem coffee snobbish but I feel like if you're going to be in the coffee biz you should be a snob, especially about your product. First thing wrong! A wall lined with coffee beans that anyone can open up and smell. Beans, once roasted should be in a sealed container. They're a roasting facility so this means they don't have that knowledge or they do and choose to bring their product down because of it. That wouldn't even bother me that much if my drink was even remotely good. Read their menu and saw they had rice milk. How interesting! I love rice milk! Ordered a mocha with rice milk and iced. Cashier kept asking me to repeat myself a guy behind her says soy or almond. I say your menu says rice. So I change it to soy. My husband orders. Then I hear the barista and cashier calling out our orders and I had to correct my order outloud to them multiple times. Finally got my drink and ewwww my tongue was coated in sugar. I posted a photo you can see the huge amount of syrup at the bottom not even mixed in. Tried to stir it but there was no hope. I had to order another drink. Just an iced latte please. Watched the guy make it not once using an espresso machine. Perhaps it was a concentrate? I will say that was better than my syrup cup. Watched multiple orders get "whip cream" from a bag. I would have given this place a 1 star but added a star back because the guy behind the counter knew a lot of the peoples names. Which means they have the community aspect down and reoccurring customers. But for a person out of town and expecting quality from a place who labels themselves a roaster something should probably be addressed. read more

Cattle Dog Coffee Roasters - So incredibly sweet. My tongue was coated in sugar. They didn't even stir it. I had to order another drink. - Sandwiches Near Me - Hernando, Florida

See all

I enjoyed the coffee I tried when I stopped by here. Place was packed and the food that was being sever up looked tasty.

I love their variety of coffee and teas! The girls are always super helpful on some of their personal favorites as well as most popular with the customers! Can't wait for their Crystal River location to open! read more

Enjoyed my breakfast here great choices of coffee and tea drinks. Cute cafe type atmosphere. My breakfast was eggs veggies in a pastry like a turnover my husbands was cooked mine was not luckily I knew the eggs were under cooked and sent it back. They made me a new one and refunded our money . I have not been back but I would eat here again great atmosphere and since Citrus Co doesn't have a Starbucks this is the next best thing read more

Haystacker, my favorite drink! Caramel, coconut, and chocolate latte, either hot, cold, or frozen. Everyone should try it out! What a lovely place. With a display of freshly roasted coffee beans, we get to see all the different places Cattle Dog imports them from. The menu changes every month, but it is always good! There's so many different different drink choices, and I have never tried one that I didn't like. The staff is very friendly, and I always feel welcomed. The free wifi is very convenient, and I find myself spending hours there drinking coffee while doing homework. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing place to drink some fresh coffee and enjoy a quality lunch read more

The wraps are outrageously good and so healthy. I just discovered this place - recommended by my personal trainer - a health conscious person for sure. My wife loved the coffees and the variety is great too. These people have it right. I look for more of these to pop up. read more

This has been my quiet humble getaway for years now; since I have been old enough to drive I've made this my after-school/work escape from reality. Anyone who knows me knows I enjoy peace and quiet, but with word spreading of my personal safe haven, I feel obliged to do what I can to help it expand. After all, Cattle Dog deserves every bit of the explosion in popularity that it's gotten recently in the past year or so. James, the owner, and his wife do a marvelous job of creating an exciting euphoric atmosphere while still holding on to the hometown vibe that I love. They accomplish this by having subtle yet impacting music, unique and mouthwatering meals and coffee, and via their habitually fantastic and always-friendly staff. Cattle Dog is not just a coffee shop. It's MY coffee shop, and I'll forever love it. Thank you guys. read more

Coffee is great but be really careful about the food. Had a lettuce wrap with rice in it and the rice was completely hard. Also the bag of chips had a hole in it before even receiving it. Not the first instance, but the croissants should be fine. read more

Whoa dog! The best latte I've ever had! I had the Mocha with Kahlua, I can't remember the exact name of it but wow oh wow, it was good.

Good food, but it took a half hour for the lone young lady working there to have it ready. On top of that, she gave me an egg and cheese bagel sandwich when I asked for the veggie biscuit wrap. She even verified it after we ordered! Another 7 minutes were spent waiting for our iced coffees. The place was not busy, either. Because mine is the only negative review, I have to assume that the employee was new and didn't know what she was doing. If I'm back in the area I'll try it out again. read more

I come here every time I'm in Florida when I'm visiting my daughter. Being from California I'm not a big Dunking Donuts fan. I want real coffee! The people are friendly. The coffee is great and the treats are delish. read more

Best coffee in Citrus County and perhaps beyond! Fresh and delicious salads, sandwiches, and assorted pastries to go along with a delicious freshly brewed cup of coffee. The location has plenty of parking and has outdoor seating if desired. This is a relaxing place to enjoy having a treat there with a friend. Definitely 5 Stars! read more

It's everything you want -- good coffee, friendly service, and delicious baked goods.

Most roasted coffee options I have ever seen! Great coffee, great service, and great food!

Everything is fresh and delicious. Every single time I go the coffee has impressed me. Haven't been there in a while, but in the past they had a lobster rolls special - TO DIE FOR. read more

My wife and I stopped in one day last month for a couple decaffeinated coffees and although the establishment is pleasant looking, and had tasty looking pastries, the coffee was the worst we had ever had. I asked if it had been made much earlier in the day and they assured me that it was fresh. It tasted horribly bitter and neither of us could drink more than the 2nd sip. I returned the coffees for a refund and left. I was especially disappointed as many of our local Nature Coast Mustang Club members meet there once a month and have said it was good. Maybe the fancy coffees are good but we just like ours straight up and decaffeinated. read more

My husband and my most favorite place to have coffee. Super nice ppl. Best choices for coffee better then Starbucks or dunkin donuts.

so much better than starbucks and DD! If you are looking for a local cute, cozy coffee shop, this is the place! Customer service is fantastic and the employees always make sure to welcome you when you walk through the door. prices are fair for the quality and service. check out their Inverness Location too! read more

Best Lobster Rolls I've had in a long time. Only served on Friday's. you should order in advance they go quickly.

This place has the best coffee beans. The staff are great. The coffee is so good I am spoiled and won't drink coffee out anymore. They also have a very nice assortment of baked goods. The new location in Inverness is beautiful. read more

Excellent coffee - we take home the beans and that's all we drink. The place and people are charming, and everything we have eaten there is great - yummy sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, salads, not to mention the baked goods. We love the Morning Glory muffins. read more

Super sweet people and great food. They WILL make sure you're satisfied. Totally unexpected awesome hole in the wall. They totally made our day. read more

Went there saturday ...oct. 18. Love this place. Wish we had one in Ocala. SR200/484 area.

Had wanted to come to this place for the longest of times. CDCR was recommended to me by a friend from Virginia, who always makes it a point to buy coffee from here to take back with him. Now I know why! The cofffee is simply DIVINE! Chose the Jazzy Java--love the cinnamon and rum mixed together; Angel's Kiss--an Almond Joy in coffee; Almond Biscotti; the Eye Opener--low acid with a kick; and the Cattle Dog House Blend--a combination of their most popular coffees. Obviously, it was impossible to choose from just one coffee! Also bought the Pistachio biscotti (yum!), cranberry walnut bread and cranberry orange muffin for my husband. All super delicious! Staff is super friendly and helpful! The menu items that we saw coming by looked wonderful and delicious! CDCR also carries a great variety of gift items, as well as sample bags of coffee for $3.00. Will definitely be returning! So glad we came! read more

I love their cinnamon rolls! I want to try more of their offerings but rarely get the chance to go. I can't wait until they open up more locations! read more

I'm in town for for a few weeks for work. I was so happy to find this place 2 minutes from where I'm working. The coffee is good, the food is good and everyone is incredibly friendly. The owner James shook my hand to introduce himself and greets me by name when I come in. He also gives me samples of all sorts of cool brewing methods. I wish I was able to take this place with me to my next location. read more

This would be an impressive coffee shop anywhere, but a very pleasant surprise in the small town of Lecanto. I bought three different types of whole bean (the house blend, the Eye Opener and the Guatemalan) from a selection of probably at least 20 to brew at home, and I've enjoyed all three. read more

Love this place! Always a pleasure to be there. The Haystacker coffee is incredible!

Best specialty coffee. Cattle dog mocha my favorite. Gourmet freshly prepared one of a kind salads and sandwiches. Everything made from scratch. Best coffee shop ever!! read more

Loved this place! Great selection of coffee, food and pastries! Nice atmosphere in adorable community. Highly recommend!!!

The owner is the rudest man I've ever met in business. I used to get my regular specialty drink here, which I only did because it was the closest, was alright, the taste was always inconsistent . Maybe he doesn't know how to train the staff. Or treat them with respect like me. Heard that through the grapevine... read more

I always look forward to stopping in Cattle Dog whether it be for the flavored coffee of the day, an iced coffee or a specialty drink !!! When my grankids visit, it's their favorite place to go! They enjoy the hot chocolate, the mochas and the wonderful homemade bakery items. My husband and I like the salads and flatbreads. James is a wonderful Chef and makes the best lobster rolls! The menu changes and is quite innovative! Both James and Heather, the owners, are wonderful people who care about their customers and give back to the community. They have a well trained staff that greets you when you enter, knows your name and remembers your favorite drink! It is to their credit to have such a wonderful staff...the nicest people you will meet anywhere! read more

Absolutely wonderful coffee, delicious food, friendly people, and great service.
