The Roasting House was a pleasant surprise on our way back up the "other side of the street" while doing some wild west sight seeing. The shops in Virginia City get a little redundant and my group of road weary travelers needed a pick me up. We'd already enjoyed excellent bbq up the street so I can't comment on the food. I had an iced coffee, black, brewed from their Panama Boquete city roast. Perfect simple delicious iced coffee. I bought 12 ounces of the beans and am enjoying it nice and hot this morning while I write this review. This is fantastic coffee. One of us had an iced mocha and proclaimed it the best she'd ever had. Even named the one that it had surpassed. I had a sip. Really good. The other members of our group were equally pleased.

Read moreGreat environment, friendly staff, good selection. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and made me feel very welcomed. Upon asking about their roasted beans, she offered me a sample of their coffee of the day. But what makes me feel bad to say that the cappuccino I got, wasn't as expected. The milk foam floating on the top, not so great tasting espresso shot, and the presentation was a let down for me. I'm pretty sure they have some really good drinks and coffee beans in their menu. Hopefully next time I'm in Virginia City, I'll try some of that and raise the rating to a 5 stars. Again, please read the first three sentences...
