iwant your opinions about this name ...

Only a couple viable end users for it, and I think selling it is unlikely. If you could quick flip it for a couple hundred, you'd be doing well. This type of name, with this few end users is usually a bad percentage play - look for similar names with at least a dozen or more named businesses.

What he said.

Coffee shops are the wrong market to be chasing. They rely on walk-in traffic, and having a website is hardly a good investment; never mind spending unnecessary $ on a domain name.

If you can get $100 for it, take it and run.

Doesn't make sense to me, but it made me laugh, so that has to be worth something. I didn't Google it, but it seems like a tough sell. I assume there are a handful of businesses with that name, but they still don't need the name, I wouldn't think. They could use BulldogCoffee.com, BulldogCoffeeHouse.com or something similar. The odds of you getting lucky without putting in a good bit of effort are very low. Even with hard work, there is little chance for a nice sale. This is the type of name that can cost you a lot of your time if you are not careful.

I had a name called VarietyMotors.com a while back. Not only was there a site at VarietyMotors.net, but there was also one at VarietyMotors.us. I wasted a lot of time emailing these people every 6 months or so. Now, I almost sold it a few times, but in the end I really couldn't even give it away. It baffled me then, and still does in a way. The Bulldog Coffee name has far worse prospects, I would think. Of course, sometimes you strike with these types of names, but the key is to have a bunch of them in various categories, since there is no guarantee for any of them to sell. You never are quite sure which ones you will connect with.
