Made a special stop to this cafe in Bastrop Texas on a drive from El paso to Louisiana specifically to have their signature cinnamon rolls again. They simply don’t have them today despite me coming in at opening. Maybe they never have them on Mondays? Maybe only one employee knows how to make them and they have been out? Would be one star, but the $7.12 medium chai latte was actually pretty good. Minimum suggested tip was 18% for service no better than I’d get from a vending machine though.

What an amazing alternative to the big brands of coffee houses.
Coffee dog is a local coffee shop that roasts their own beans. They’re in a nice central location in Bastrop. And it is a pleasant experience.
One of the big ironies of Coffee Dog is they put “dog” in the name. But the first thing that greeted me was a sign saying “No Dogs Allowed.” That was disappointing.
While my experience was generally positive, Coffee Dog was missing something that almost every other coffee shop in Bastrop is missing – a comfortable place to sit and lounge.
I feel like Coffee Dog would benefit greatly from a little interior remodel. Perhaps some comfy chairs in the corner and convert some parking spots into some outdoor seating.

coffee dog is a solid little coffee shop in bastrop that has a convenient drive through. i have always had nice experiences when i have come. staff is friendly, the food is good with generous portions. i think my only critique is the atmosphere can be a little frantic with a lot of noise.

Visited on a weekday after the lunch rush. It wasn’t that busy (maybe 2 people ahead of us). I was excited about trying out a local coffee roaster but the excitement went downhill pretty quickly. It took about 3-5 minutes to order while we waited for someone. And then after we ordered, there was a good 5 minutes of absolutely no one doing anything coffee-related . The employees were either in the back or at the register. There was a lady in front of us who ordered but didn’t even get her food until after we left! It was a poorly run coffee house with potential. The coffee was average. I won’t be coming back.

I did not have a good experience here. Cold food a turtle mocha that tasted dank and cold when ordered hot. My review rn is of their management and owner customer relations. A patron of this establishment wrote a review that did not put them in a good light. The owner then went onto our town fb page calling the individual a liar and ranting about how it had to be a fake post instead of just apologizing and asking to make it right, even if they “knew” it was fake. And then continues to slander the patrons accountability because the person left without saying anything to them and just wrote the review instead. So not only will I not go to this establishment because of their poor food and coffee but mainly now because of their owners inability to take criticism and taking it and making that situation better for the next customer. There are more rants about the patron in the comments on post from fb if you want to read more…

This is obviously a family business. You’ll find mone of the corporate trappings of other popular coffee places here. This place served _real_ coffee in an unpretentious setting. The food is pretty decent. It’s definitely better than the standard bagel or muffin choice offered by other places. Try the 3-Story Doghouse sandwich. They also have fast (300Mbps) free wifi.

I’ve supported this local coffee shop for a long time, back when it was owned by Christiana and run by truly fabulous employees like Nikki, Justice, and Mariah. During that time, Coffee Dog was reliable, welcoming, and worth recommending. Unfortunately, under new ownership, that is no longer the case.
This morning was the final straw. I placed my order and waited over 30 minutes, only to receive absolutely nothing. After my order was taken, I reasonably assumed it was being prepared. Instead, a different employee later came to the window and asked what I had ordered as if no record or communication existed at all. At that point, I asked for a refund.
What followed was a frustrating and unnecessary ordeal. The so-called manager came to the window and began explaining how long a sandwich takes to make despite the fact that I did not order a sandwich. The manager clearly did not understand the situation, continued wasting my time, and failed to listen after I had already made it clear that I just wanted a refund since my order was never made. Even processing the refund became a struggle.
This is not an isolated incident. On several prior visits, they’ve been under-supplied, out of basic items, or dealing with non-functioning machines issues that are frankly unacceptable for a business that calls itself a coffee shop. The lack of organization and accountability is astounding.
One of our clients regularly purchased gift cards from Coffee Dog for us, but after this experience, I will be telling him not to return. Mr. Hodges, save your money this place is no longer worth it. It’s incredibly sad to see how far this business has fallen. I supported Coffee Dog for the longest time, but I am officially done. I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending this place to anyone. Future customers should be aware: this business is not the same under new ownership.

The staff was very kind and patient, It was my first time here visiting and had no idea what to expect. The young lady at the counter was very informative of the menu and suggested the cilantro chicken sandwich. I ended up also ordering a coffee with my sandwich. The food came out in a timely mannered, and the sandwich was perfectly warmed up. The plate came with lays chips as a side and the coffee was delicious. I love the atmosphere and how comfortable it felt to dine in here. Will be back soon.I added the hours of business, and some photos to help you decide on your next food destination.
