Fortunately, Black Gold falls right in the middle of my territory and I'm able to stop by a few times a week. Great ownership and awesome people working here. I truly love how they support Veteran's and First Responders. Very well done! Coffee is delicious and roasted on site. I belonged to a coffee club and had a monthly subscription. Upon tasting the coffee at Black Gold, I immediately cancelled my subscription and will only purchase coffee here. The folks working here will never steer you wrong with their recommendations.

Freshly Roasted Perfection in Venice…read more I stopped into Black Gold Coffee Roasters and was blown away. I ordered an iced mocha that was absolutely delicious - you can really taste the coffee through the chocolate instead of it being overly sweet, which I loved. The coconut macaroon I got on the side was phenomenal and paired perfectly with the drink. They're roasting beans less than 20 feet from where I was sitting, and even before we walked in, you could smell the coffee from the parking lot. It adds so much to the atmosphere knowing everything is that fresh. Service was top notch: super friendly, accurate with the order, and genuinely down to earth and inviting. This place feels like a true local gem, and I will definitely be returning.

We also paid extra for blended and they all came out just over ice. Would not recommend or go back.

It's also located in the oldest building along US 41 between Venice and Tampa, built in 1923 and once home to the first bank and post office in Sarasota County. Definitely a fun bit of history you don't expect with your meal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with shaded outdoor seating and a cozy, bright indoor dining room. While they offer plenty of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, I went for the classic corned beef Reuben on marble rye with a side of organic, gluten-free mac and cheese. Both were excellent, and the clear dietary labels on the menu were a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're looking for great food with healthy options.

While we all found the scones to be exceptional, the trio salad plate left a lot to be desired with the chicken being extremely dry and not fresh. The tuna salad wasn't bad but was a bit overly sweet probably from pickles, while the egg salad was pretty good. The bread offered, which I didn't really understand the point of, never arrived. Sadly, with the plethora of competitors along the avenue, living on the quality of the scones seems like a weak play.

There are some great looking desserts in the front case however I was full from lunch so I didn't try anything. Always leave something for next time they say... I'll be back to give it a try again.
