Crema's Take

Early Dog Coffee nails the salted caramel cold brew—a signature drink that regulars genuinely rave about alongside their nitro cold brew lineup with multiple sugar-free flavoring options. The adorable drive-thru and walk-up setup make grabbing coffee feel less transactional and more like visiting friends, though reviews suggest consistency can be hit-or-miss, with some customers praising the owners' sweetness while others report dismissive interactions. If you're in Golden and want a cozy, reasonably-priced spot with excellent cold brew execution, it's worth a stop.

This place has a adorable drive-thru & walk-up setup. The salty dog latte (salted caramel) is perfect for the cold weather and their muffins are moist and so yummy. Owners are very sweet as well!

HORRIBLE - The coffee was bitter, but even worse is the owner (guy) wanted to ARGUE WITH ME on why I should like it. Terrible service...don't go!! There are plenty of coffee shops in town who will give you want you want and not ARGUE that they know it all

Great prices, delicious coffee (I always get the nitro cold brew with sugar-free flavoring, they have several options like vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, and pumpkin in the autumn!). Nice that they have a "walk up" side so you can park and get out of your car if you like, most…

I love Early Dog Coffee! Not only is it the best salted caramel cold brew I’ve had, but the service is amazing too. I even went once when their generator happened to give out but they were more than happy to find a way to still make a drink. Great local spot to support.
