DST Coffee — Restaurant in Gardnerville

I had heard about a new coffee shop in gardnerville so I jumped on my motorcycle and rode up there from Reno. Excellent coffee shop!

Pros: *Great coffee, tea, and delicious hot chocolate *Hilarious signs in the bathrooms *Easy to find, I rode up to gardnerville without any directions of the place and if you just look it is super easy to find. *One of the owners was working and greeted me with an awesome smile and great recomendations. *It's a family owned business and the coffee is roasted locally.

Cons: *You haven't given it a try, you're too busy having that gross chain store coffee when you could have delicious coffee from a place like DST and help promote local business.

**Note, I saw on here that some mentioned the prices were expensive, well I don't think 3 dollars for a great coffee that is made properly by a true barista is too much to ask for,...

This is a fairly new establishment and I'm sorry I was not first in line on opening day. Third wave coffee has come to Carson Valley and my little town of Minden. They use a roaster out of Reno who is really trying to get the sweetest flavors possible from their beans. The vibe in this coffee shop is super hip and it's right on the main drag. They have a nice offering of baked goods. I did not see any gluten free items but my gluten eating husband really enjoyed his scone. There is plenty of parking as well. Go on down to DST Coffee.

My daughter's hot chocolate was very watery. It did not taste like hot chocolate. We took the order to go and therefore were not able to notify the staff. It seemed the price was a little more then Starbucks. We love to support local businesses and therefore will try this shop again. Hopefully next time we will be able to stay longer to enjoy our surroundings as well as our drinks. To be totally fair, I should also add this coffee shop is fairly new to the community and therefore they definitely deserves everyone to try them out...
