Blind Dog Coffee Roasters was founded in 2007 in Reno, Nevada, by Mark Berry, whose inspiring journey of resilience defines the company's character. After overcoming childhood cancer that threatened his eyesight through radiation treatment, Mark became legally blind by his 49th birthday but refused to let this limitation define him. With the unwavering support of his family, he mastered the art of coffee roasting, transforming Blind Dog Coffee into a symbol of triumph over adversity. The company represents much more than coffee roasting—it embodies the strength of familial bonds and determination. Mark and his family worked tirelessly to build Blind Dog into a dedication-filled venture where the aroma of freshly roasted coffee represents triumph and perseverance. As Mark has now retired, he has passed the business to his family, ensuring that his legacy of enduring spirit continues. Blind Dog Coffee Roasters is committed to offering specialty high-quality coffee at fair prices while maintaining strong core values centered on community, excellence, and customer satisfaction. Their coffee fosters warmth and camaraderie, bringing people together from bean to cup. The company takes pride in meticulously selecting and roasting premium beans to ensure an unparalleled sensory experience in every cup. The roastery is certified organic and maintains multiple certifications including USDA Organic, HACCP, Oregon Tilth, and NSF certifications. They are recognized as Golden Bean Award Winners, having received Bronze championships in 2022 and 2024, with their Delicious Espresso being a Gold Bean Champion. The company is also BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, signifying their commitment to ethical business practices and customer satisfaction. Blind Dog Coffee Roasters operates with a strong commitment to giving back to the community, particularly supporting the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation and other charities close to their heart. Their mission extends beyond serving exceptional coffee—with each cup purchased, customers contribute to children's fights and dreams. The company's motto "Be Bold Be Brave" reflects their founding story and ongoing dedication to helping others overcome challenges. Their roasting facility and business headquarters is located in Gardnerville, Nevada, while they also operate the Blind Dog Coffee Lab café in nearby Minden. They distribute their products through wholesale channels, direct-to-consumer retail, community events, and are available in major retailers throughout Northern Nevada and Eastern California, including Amazon, Costco, Whole Foods, and many regional grocery chains.
