Black Gold Coffee Roasters

It was a beautiful, sunny day in Florida when I suddenly lost control. I was on my way to the Venice Golf store when the aroma of freshly roasted coffee filled the air, captivating my senses. I couldn't resist the temptation and was compelled to turn around and follow the scent to Black Gold Roasters. As I approached, I saw people sitting at sidewalk tables, smiling, chatting, and savoring their coffee. They seemed to understand what I was feeling, having gone through the same experience when they first discovered the coffee shop.
When I stepped into the store, I couldn't help but notice the massive burlap bags filled with coffee beans and the enormous coffee roaster where they roast their coffee beans in-house. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable. I decided to order a double espresso and some chocolate-covered coffee beans, which would make a great gift. The coffee tasted absolutely delicious, and it brought back fond memories of my trip to Italy.
Since then, I've visited Gold Coffee Roasters multiple times and no longer buy stale coffee from grocery stores. Give them a try!

Awesome staff and delicious coffee. Fresh bakery and breakfast sandwiches. Fun, creative drink specials. A nice, welcoming vibe. A community coffeeshop where people meet and actually talk with one another. Love spending my time here!

If you want an absolute PERFECT Lox bagel then there’s no place else that can craft one like this place! Salmon, capers, fresh dill, red onion & cream cheese on a Asiago Bagel!!! The only place that cab make a cappuccino properly too! 10/10

I couldn’t have more positive remarks about this place. While I have only been a handful of times, their iced lattes and cold brews are two of our favorite drinks here. The food is table service but drinks are counter service. There is ample parking and seating. Beautiful art that decorated the walls. Two bathrooms for customer use, outdoor seating options, and a viewing area into their roasting properties.

The barista staff is kind and helpful. They have many options of beans, ground or whole, merchandise, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, hot and iced drinks, on the go beverages as well such as water, bottled options. They even have GF options.

We will be a return customer forever!

Always a great experience. Lots of unique tasty beverage’s and a nice selection of baked goods.

Best Coffee Shop I've ever experienced! I take my family every time they're in town and ship them bags of coffee for gifts! If you're in Venice or Passing through I highly recommend!

Coffee shop owner Gary Lauters has established a lovely coffee house with an in-house roasting service in the heart of Venice, FL.

The products are unique and of surpassing quality: smoothies, iced and hot coffees of varieties you'll likely find nowhere else, pastries, mixed coffee treats, French press made to order, truly fresh-roasted beans from around the world, sandwiches, bagels, croissants, paninis, shakes, Rishi teas, house truffles, apparel, and works from local artists. They offer gluten-free and vegan

All of the goods are made on site, so one can certainly be assured of freshness. Everybody is quite fastidious about the quality of the product and the service was particularly friendly and swift. Our serveuse, Savannah, was particularly bright, quick, and friendly.

The products all seemed amazing. I certainly enjoyed my "Bullfrog" (chocolate/mint/espresso served iced or hot). My friends raved about the cold brew. However, I found that above even the superb quality of the products they craft, the knowledge and passion brought by the proprietor was remarkable.

He was kind enough to take my whole party back to the roasting area and gave us an interesting tour and discussion about coffee production from seed to cup. When one learns of his professional credentials, it's not a big surprise that his considerable knowledge is heavily bent toward coffee. He could easily be among any number of executives in corporate coffee, but from discussion, it is plain that he has a bone or two to pick with some of the titans of the industry, primarily for what they are doing to biodiversity. In chatting with him, you'll find that personal relationships have a great deal to do with the varieties of coffee he offers. Many of these varieties are of sorts from small harvesters that don't receive much exposure from larger businesses.

You owe it to yourself to make a stop, have a chat, and maybe learn a little something in the bargain.

Stopped in here after seeing it on the map. This is one of the best looking coffee shops I have seen in my travels. Talked the the owner for a while and learned more if the coffee trade industry.
Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and good selection of food fare and coffee (of course)
If you want a small town coffee shop feel, this is a perfect stop!

I’m sure I’m not the first person to say this. But the people, the coffee and the energy around this place is incredible. I came right at closing, and even though the registers were closed, Alyssa brought me out a cup of Colombian coffee the first time I came through. Best cortado in Venice. Gary has an incredible vision for community and coffee. ☕🔥❤🙏🏽

My boyfriend gifted me a bag of coffee beans from here when I was having a bad week. He remembered my love for coffee, and that I had said I wanted to try this place out. Someone at the store helped him pick out the perfect beans for him to gift to me. I LOVED THEM! I was barista all the way through college, and more than a decade later, I never gave up my love for a good cup of coffee. I truly appreciate complex flavor profiles, and the magical way good coffee can give you a unique experience from bean to bean, roast to roast, cup to cup. This place was exactly the place I needed to find!! They have so many unique, beautiful flavor profiles and roasts to choose from to match what you are looking for.

I'm a litigation attorney who is frequently stressed/operating off of high volumes of coffee, and low quantities of sleep. Having a great cup of coffee incorporated into my daily morning routine, or as a treat/splurge in the afternoon, makes all the difference. I called back into the store today to pick out some new beans, and Alyssa was super kind and helpful in helping me pick out what to try next. We will be back again and again!! Thank you, so glad to have you in Venice.

My client John and I came here for lunch and I met the owner and some nice ladies. The entire staff and management was amazing 😻
Very friendly clean atmosphere and the price is very reasonable.. Thanks for making my first visit a great experience.

After a year in Venice we have decided to part ways and move back home. Over the last year, we’ve become good friends with the owner and the staff at Black Gold. These people are some of the most genuine and down to earth people you could meet. Not only is their coffee amazing, but their level of care and attention to detail when it comes to their customers is just a beautiful thing. We will be visiting often, even if it’s just to enjoy a cup of their famous coffee❤

Best coffee you will find hands down!!!! Highly recommend. My husband and I have been coming here for years and always have great food and service. I recommend the “snowflake” (peppermint white mocha)

Highly recommend - give this place a try! A great place to lay back, chill or work. The food, coffee and tea is amazing. Very clean inside and the staff is friendly. The owner is very friendly as well and knowledgeable about his craft, it was a pleasure speaking with him. This is what I expect from a coffee shop and Black Gold Coffee Roasters exceeded expectations.

Such a lovely place. The taste of the coffee here is exquisite. So much better than starbucks. Owners are super nice and create such a comfortable atmosphere 😊.

I absolutely LOVE Black Gold!! So much so that I have been grabbing coffee there for 13 years. I moved to sarasota and still find a way to get down to Venice to get my coffee fix. I love the owner and his staff. They are always friendly and kind!!

This place is more than just a coffee shop, it’s an experience. The staff is very attentive. I witnessed several customers being called by their name just like they were part of the family. The product is outstanding! Roasted on site, you will be hard pressed to find something better. Simply a local treasure!!

Arguably the best cup of coffee in south Florida. The selection of beans and careful roasting are unmatched. Their scones are baked on the premises daily - a delight. Plus the service is top notch.

Excellent local coffee spot in Venice,FL. Relaxing and cozy cafe. Tried the Double con panna (espresso with whipped cream) the espresso used is smooth and nutty. They have their own roastery in house which is very nice. Great selection of beverages. Definitely worthy.☕
