About Blind Dog Coffee

Be Bold. Be Brave.

Where It Began

Our Story

In 2007, Blind Dog Coffee Roasters was founded in Reno, Nevada, by the resilient Mark Berry. After overcoming childhood cancer and later becoming legally blind, Mark refused to accept limitations and mastered coffee roasting with the support of his family.

Mark and his family worked tirelessly, turning Blind Dog Coffee into a dedication-filled venture. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee came to represent triumph and the strength of family. As Mark retires, he leaves a legacy that reaches far beyond coffee beans—a story built on determination, love and the pursuit of something extraordinary.
