This cozy spot specializes in responsibly sourced coffee and serves up an array of breakfast pastries alongside light lunch options. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in to work away from home, Cafe 13 provides the ideal backdrop with its fast-casual vibe.
Great food and quiet atmosphere. Staff was friendly. Breakfast burrito was excellent. I should have tried the burrito sauce on top! There is no serving of the tables as you order from the front counter which isn’t a big deal. The sidewalk patio area was a nice touch although it was windy so we sat inside. Definitely would be back again and highly recommend.

This was our last stop before heading back to Flat Florida. And I guess we did in fact save the best for last. My husband and I both got the breakfast burrito and wow it was so delicious so many flavors that complimented each other so well. The service was great everyone was so kind. We got there around 9 and it was very busy but the line moved a long quickly. It’s been 3 months since I’ve been here and I still think about this place and wish I could go back. I will be back again someday! We both got a caramel iced latte and they were also delicious. Great place. Clean. Fast. Courteous. And quality. You can’t really ask for more.

Food was absolutely delicious. The place is very cozy. It does get a little packed but well worth the wait! I highly recommend the Cuban latte. The golden platter and the Italian scallion sandwich was very very good!

I was walking around downtown Golden looking for a healthy option for lunch. Cafe 13 was recommended for their menu which includes a few breakfast items, salads, and vegetarian options. I opted for the Thai Chicken Salad and a bowl of Green Chili. Both were good. The salad had fresh ingredients and was filling. The chili had great flavor and a good kick of spiciness to it. I definitely ordered too much food for myself! I didn't realize how large the salad was going to be but I was happy about the portion size for the cost. The staff is very friendly. I would say this place is a bit loud- there were a lot of conversations going on around me. If you plan to come here for a quiet lunch or to get some work done, I recommend bringing headphones.

The view is great here and the outdoor seating is so cozy! We got a dirty chai latte and a pistachio latter, they were both really good but we liked the pistachio best. We also got a cinnamon pull-apart and a rhubarb hazelnut Danish that were delicious. We didn't wait long in line buy by the time we left the line was out the door.

Outstanding service and food. We brought our dog and sat on the rather large patio. The patio is shaded and plenty of tables. We ate the Aussie bowl. Very good!. Be sure to try the lavender or blackberry lattes.

Great atmosphere!! I had the cold brew as it was a warm afternoon. Highly recommend the cold brew and the location! The baristas are super friendly. There’s also a great selection of pastries, salads and more. They looked good but I was just in for coffee. Great coffee shop. Highly recommended!!!

Lovely place. Great (and pretty) coffee. And my breakfast sandwich was delicious. You can sip and eat while playing board games. And some local shopping too. Highly recommended visiting after watching the sunrise at Red Rocks Amphitheater

Got the breakfast burrito here and it was just ok. Aside from the bacon (which it almost had too much of) everything else was lacking in flavor. They did a nice job of toasting it though, so the tortilla had a nice crunch when you bite into it.

Chris — Google review
The service was amazing. They are very friendly, and the atmosphere was nice and chill. Music was a bit too loud for my tastes, but tolerable. I had oatmeal, which was pretty good. It could have been amazing if the oats were steel cut and cooked all the way. Instead, I am pretty sure it was plain instant oatmeal - not even cooked, but just the add hot water kind. That was disappointing, but the additions really did kick it up. I will come back and hope the other fare is better. And maybe add instant oatmeal to your description - I would be far more willing to give 5 stars if I didn't feel cheated when my food arrived. O don't mind instant oatmeal, but I don't expect it when I order at a restaurant - unless it is explicitly explained to me.

I ordered a latte, avo toast, and some soup. I made a few… financially adventurous adjustments (oat milk) and it came to $38 (with tip — tip your baristas, you heathens). I literally muttered to myself, “this better be the best matcha latte I’ve ever had.” It was. The best. Matcha. Latte. I’ve ever had. Period. I live 40 minutes away and would gladly make the pilgrimage again — honestly, I’d ride a horse through a snowstorm for this latte. It can have my firstborn son. It’s THICK — like they whisked the matcha until it confessed its deepest secrets. They asked if I wanted to add a flavor and BROWN SUGAR was the best decision I’ve ever made. I would marry this matcha and start a small organic farming commune with it. I shed actual tears as I drank it. The avocado toast? Made me feel rich. Like Kim Kardashian vacationing in the Hamptons. They served it on a fresh baguette and drizzled it with real balsamic — every ingredient tasted like it came from an 87-year-old Italian grandmother’s backyard garden that she’s been perfecting since WWII. I don’t work here. I don’t know anyone who does. I just fell in love with a café today. Worth every penny — and then some.

THE COFFEE SHOP YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU THINK OF AN AMAZING COFFEE SHOP! I searched for a coffee shop near Red Rocks and this place popped up in an ideal location with great reviews and it did not disappoint! The place is very clean with friendly staff and offers a wide selection of coffee drinks and food items. I came in on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy but the line moved along quickly. I would've stayed in the shop but I was too excited to head to Red Rocks especially after buying a Red Rocks hat at this shop that has become my favorite hat! I actually ended up losing the hat, and I reached out to the email address listed on the website and the Owner Todd was absolutely incredible to send me one only charging me his in-store pricing + shipping as I would prepared to pay a premium to get this hat back again! In summary, the place is beautiful with a wide range of a typical good good shop place, the staff was friendly, the drinks/food were delicious, and the ambiance was perfect. I will come back here every time I visit Red Rocks! And thanks again Todd for going out of your way to get me this hat!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!

The coffee shop is a great place to get espresso and lattes. They have a wide variety of drinks, and the staff is always willing to help. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, so it's perfect for studying or meeting friends.
We absolutely loved our visit to Humble House Cafe! The ambience is so cozy and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly kind and friendly. I tried their seasonal Caramel Apple Matcha Latte and it was amazing — the perfect fall drink. We also enjoyed the Cortado, the veggie breakfast platter, and the Jane Goodall Sammy — all fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully made. They even have some nice options for kids, which was a big plus. The outdoor seating was one of my favorite parts — sitting with a coffee while looking out at the little hills in Golden was just so cute and relaxing. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!
Gee C — Google review
Such a charming cafe!! My partner and I visited Humble House Cafe while on a weekend trip to Denver, and it was one of my favorite spots we checked out. It’s hard to say what I liked most — the vibes are extremely cozy, the decor is cute, the staff is unbelievably friendly, and the food is tasty. It’s a pretty popular spot, with a 15+ minute line streaming out their door when we arrived around 10 AM, but I can absolutely see why. I especially loved the pay it forward wall by the cashier, where folks could contribute a few dollars to a specific profile of future patron (e.g., newlyweds on their honeymoon, new moms, someone struggling with X). Food-wise, we split a latte, a classic vegetarian breakfast sandwich, and their vegetarian breakfast platter. Everything was outstanding: the croissant was nice and buttery, and it went wonderfully with the fried egg, generous portion of creamy avocado, and sliced tomato. The slice of cheddar and aioli helped to bind the whole sandwich together and created a really wholesome bite. The breakfast platter was equally delicious, with two nicely scrambled eggs (which were very cutely presented as circles, similar to the fried egg) served with an array of fresh veggies and a herbaceous, fresh crema. All told, we probably spent several hours here after eating to read, chat, and work together. I could honestly spend a whole day — or week — here; the vibes are outstanding, and I felt really at home in this Humble House.

Walking into this old brick , wood rafters, filled with plants and soft romantic lighting, it’s so easy to unwind and ground down, enjoying the simple and elegant atmosphere. Thoughtfully curated provisions in the front with a Togo order counter for all the yummy breakfast and drink needs. Or sit down at the cozy tables for small groups or better yet intimate couplings. The menu has all the basics for drinks and eats, and some unique specials. Good cozy coffee shop with homey and elegant taste. This place has something special and is sure to warm your heart 💜

My family and I visited this coffee shop for the first time today to celebrate our younger adult son's birthday. The shop was conveniently located, had plenty of parking...if you could find an open spot!, friendly employees, great coffee, delicious danishes, indoor and outdoor seating, and daytime and evening hours when bands sometimes play.

Super cute place in Golden! Super busy on weekends. Looks like you can order online for future. I tried their seasonal pumpkin chip ice latte with marshmallow topping and chocolate chips. It was so lovely! Not too sweet and didn't taste artificial. I didn't love that the music was so loud, especially as packed as it was. I prefer a more quiet atmosphere without the blaring pop music. Also a bit expensive for a medium at almost $10 with non-dairy alternative milk tip. Would come back for sure.

Visited this coffee shop on the first day of our trip to Golden. Nathan was so friendly and funny and made us feel right at home! Iced coffee was great and bagels were awesome too! Decided on day 2 to try and visit another coffee shop in town. Walked into 4 others and ended up walking back up to Higher Grounds with Nathan! This time grabbed a latte and Salted Caramel Frapp. Nathan remembered that I liked it sweet and doctored it up a bit for me! Muffin we tried this time was great! Trust me this shop is worth the walk up from downtown! Until next time…

My wife and I stopped in since we were staying close and wanted to try the local coffee shops and enjoy something besides the hotel blend. We had high hopes but were let down. Not sure if the gentleman was having a bad day but he was extremely short and rude. My wife had the banana bread latte and it was mid at best. My coffee was fine but after the service we decided to try other spots.

This is the ultimate place. Coffee is awesome and the staff is so hospitable and helpful. The indoors area is just as inviting as the outdoors area. The location is great and there is some (2 hours parking) around it. It opens early (lucky me) and has a great variety of beverages and food. I got the Yerba mate latte and it was excellent. I will be back!

What a lovely coffee shop, with outdoor seating and very cozy indoor decor with plants makes you never want to leave this place. This is the reason why this is my favorite place to grab coffee.

Hands down the best breakfast either of us have ever had! The house skillet was so flavorful with just the right amount of spice (of course I had to add a little more cholula, but that’s just me). The breakfast burrito is so big D couldn’t finish it. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the Golden area!

The food was good, the service was not. We were seated and sat for over 10 minutes before asked what drinks we would like. We nearly left as we were not approached about placing our order for nearly 15 minutes after we arrived. We thought they had forgotten about us. Our food took a little long, but cashing out took forever. They did not appear understaffed, it just felt as if we were not important. I hope they were just having a bad morning.

First, the good. The chicken fried steak and sausage gravy were classic and delicious. Sweet family atmosphere and cute cafe. Sadly, everything else was a disappointment. Long wait to be seated, and then longer wait to have our orders taken. Ham had a weird taste, biscuits were clearly from frozen. Basically cafeteria food. Can't complain too much for the price, but we'll try a different cafe next time.

I'm constantly stopping at Starbucks and coffee shops to use the internet and stay caught up with work but this Starbucks feels like a local coffee shop not a stuffy corporate chain. The last couple of days I've been in and they remembered my name when I walked in the door. Patrons are greeted as friends and lots of conversations go on. Golden is a cool town anyway but this Starbucks is definitely doing their part to engage with community. Thanks!!!

Generally, I support local businesses over corporations, but when it comes to good service and good coffee, consistently, this Starbucks location has it wired! The many staff are always super friendly and helpful, and the drinks are always delicious. Most important to me, they always provide soy milk drinks with no problem and even suggested I start using the gift card to buy drinks so I don't pay any extra cost for soy or flavor shots! What a great bunch of people! I hate to be a corporate fanboi, but they just do a wonderful job that I cannot deny.

This Starbucks has it's variety of customers, but the employees here handle every one of them with a smile. Through the busy 2 o'clock rush, they work together as a team. Even when I got up from the counter to get my drink, Teale realized it was mine and handed it to me before I could take a step. I have zero complaints.

J.C's Cafe is a charming spot in Golden that may not catch your eye at first, but it's definitely worth a visit. The friendly staff and delicious diner food make for a delightful experience. The walls are covered in handwritten names and notes, giving the place a unique atmosphere. It's clear that this is a local favorite. The menu features classic American dishes like blueberry pancakes and corned beef hash, which are prepared to perfection.
This family-owned Cafe has provided consistently delicious meals for decades. As a shirttail relative to the owners, my mom, sister, and I popped in here for breakfast in November. In my opinion, breakfast is a tricky meal because people are picky about their eggs and bacon. Preferring over medium well eggs sometimes leads me to get too runny, slimy, or so overcooked as to be inedible. Inedible. JC's cook has got egg preparation down to a science. The yolk was not overcooked, the white was completely cooked and they were simply delicious! My bacon was crisp but not burnt and quite flavorful. I decided to have oatmeal instead of pancakes or toast and it's some of the best I ever had. Served with milk, brown sugar and raisins it tasted genuinely homemade! My mom and sister shared a giant, vegetarian burrito which was full to overflowing with fresh veggies! Everything was very clean and well maintained and the staff was quite friendly and kind. One of the cool things about this place is the walls are covered with the names and dates of locals and travelers who have shared a meal here. It was very interesting to walk around and see all the names with the dates of past visitors.

An amazing place. Family owned One of those places that reminds you what the working American family represents. 2+2+2 is the best you could ask for. The pancakes are delicious. The coffee is great, and the atmosphere is preferable to those chain cafes that only fatten the wallets of corporate America. Go to these cafes; that's what this country needs.

My boyfriend and I stopped by this little coffee shop yesterday morning after a hike, and I’m so glad we did! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly. We grabbed a breakfast croissant, and it was delicious—flaky, buttery! Paired it with a fresh cup of coffee with pistachio, and honestly, it was the perfect start to our day. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with great food and coffee, definitely check this place out! Can’t wait to come back!

Loved this little coffee shop! We stopped in after hiking the Chavez and Beaver Brook Loop nearby. The shop is cozy, and after a hike, sinking into their couches felt so good. Food was excellent. The ham, cheese, and egg on croissant was the highlight for me; I'd get it again. Same goes for my white mocha with oat milk. Not in the mood for a meal? Their ice cream selection looked yummy. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The vibe was relaxed. I'll be back in next time I'm hiking in the area.

Cute and cozy coffee shop. The backs of the chairs have a coffee cutout. A couple super soft couches. Local art for sale on the walls and a spinning tower of cards. The young woman who greeted me was very helpful and patient with me. I got the breakfast burrito with added avocado, the chilies in it were mild. It was a little bland, but with some salt and pepper, it was good. I got a frosted coffee(coffee with icecream). It was made with ice, not just icecream. So it increased the "frosted" texture but wasn't as creamy as I was hoping for. I decided to eat outside and enjoy the view and fresh morning air. The outside seating was clean with stable furniture. If you are in the area, I recommend it

Got a real quick, light, and tasty Buffalo Moon Breakfast with a latte. Delicious menu options, incredibly cozy atmosphere, and incredibly nice owners. If you’re a local, visit this place often. If you’re a tourist, make visiting this place a priority every time you visit Genesee!

Food- 5/5 Everything was as advertised. BLT was tasty and the capuchino was strong, yet creamy and delicate. Service- 5/5 The attendant was relatively new, however, very friendly and pleasant. The gentleman making the sandwiches was a pro. Physical space- 5/5 Very clean and organized. The establishment is smaller than I expected but, very cozy and comfortable there are tables and a couch for chilling.

This is a sweet little coffee shop in the heart of Genesee center. There is a cozy atmosphere inside and the service is great. I got the Cambia, which is a combination of tea, steamed milk and vanilla and it was perfect. There are a few cute gifts inside as well, if you need any. Much parking and a few other stores in the area. Stop by if you are hiking, looking to spot some buffalos (buffalo overlook is right around) or just passing by.

Bean Fosters is a charming coffee shop that offers a cozy ambiance and a wide selection of local brews, tea, and light snacks. The walls are adorned with shelves filled with secondhand books available for purchase. This dog-friendly establishment features tables outside where customers can enjoy their beverages. At Bean Fosters, the staff specializes in serving fresh and locally-roasted craft coffees from single-origin sources. They also offer traditional espresso drinks, specialty teas, homemade sweets, and light meals.
We got up early to see the sunrise at the Red Rocks Park. We decided to stop by this cafe for our morning coffee as this was the only location open at the time. Glad to say we were pleased with our decision. This cute cafe has a gorgeous used bookstore within and a few antiques. For drinks, my friend tried the Matcha Latte with Pistachio Syrup while I decided to stick to my usual Cappuccino with whole milk. We also got Chocolate Chip Muffin and a Butter Croissant. Everything was delicious. My cappuccino was a bit stronger than my usual and actually helped me get through my sleepless day packed with back to back activities. As for the croissant, I love all croissants, but something about a light and crisp butter croissant always hits the spot for me. This was just that but I do which it was warmed up (I probably should've asked the barista).

Hands-down one of the best iced lattes I've had here in the Denver area! Their house-made syrups are divine! I love the atmosphere here. It gives cozy PNW coffee shop vibes in the heart of the foothills. Love their book selection, ample seating and environment is very relaxing. They also serve delicious homemade baked goods and Bonfire Burritos. I had the large iced oat milk latte with vanilla and honey lavender! Can't wait to come back, hopefully soon!

Super cute book cafe— I love that there’s free WiFi, the sitting area is wide and open, and there’s many tables and places to set up and do work. The barista’s were quick with orders, though I wouldn’t say friendly—perhaps it had been a busy day. Not mean, just not particularly warm or welcoming, and that’s okay. There seems to be a thriving community here regardless, lots of groups that gather for knitting or chess, or just to chat. It was pretty expensive - I paid approximately $20 for a small latte (no alternative milks or additions) and a burrito. You have to ask for WiFi, I couldn’t find any placards or anything.

Awesome! Atmosphere overall but when you leave this place your clothes will smell like fryer oil. No idea why but it's crazy how your clothing/hair will be completely saturated with oil smell after just 1-3hrs hanging out. If they solve this issue, this place would be one of my favorite Coffee shops around.

Probably the best coffee shop in Colorado. A used bookstore/coffee shop. I always love the atmosphere and the coffee/tea! Lots of power for working with devices, friendly and fast service, and lots of places to sit.
Caitlyn L — Google review
It is a nice place to grab coffee if you are at the area. It is a bit pricey (almost 8$ for oat milk vanilla latte), but the coffee quality is good. With all the wood furniture, shelves and shelves of books, and more secluded sitting areas, it offers a welcoming atmosphere. For me, the inside area was a bit noisy (with somewhat loud music and chatting), and I found the outside area to be quieter. The place itself is easy to find and there is much available parking around it.

I've been here a couple of times. It's not near where I live but I drive by sometimes. The lattes have been good as well as the veggie breakfast burrito. The service is always great. Very friendly and the atmosphere is cool. If it was closer to home, this would be my coffee shop.

Big Daddy Bagels is a relaxed bakery and café that offers a diverse selection of bagels and spreads, as well as deli sandwiches. This dog-friendly establishment is popular among both locals and tourists who are looking to enjoy a high-quality espresso drink and an artisan sandwich. With outdoor seating available for dog owners, patrons can savor a Big Momma Bagel sandwich while their furry companions join them.
FRESH BAGELS- Very happy with this local gem! Try the cranberry granola for a simple and sweet breakfast treat (love with peanut butter). For something more substantial I enjoy the Parmesan bagel sandwich generously topped with flavorful cheese, avocado, veggies and hot egg. SMOOTHIE: Satisfying and smooth. Doesn’t taste too sweet or artificial. Not the world’s best smoothie but nice on a warm summer morning with a bagel. It’s also reasonably priced which I appreciate!! ATMOSPHERE: Good for a short stay. No padded booths or extra comfy seating. Kind of eclectic and contemporary vibes. High ceilings give a spacious feel, and vibrant hues give lots of playful energy. Hip paintings on the walls enhance the atmosphere, showcasing artistic flair and contributing to the overall stylish and inviting feel of the space. Outdoor seating options. SERVICE: Very friendly and helpful people. Warm and genuine smiles. **VEGAN/ Lactose Free Friends- they offer vegan cream cheese. I haven’t tried it but it’s cool that they offer it.

I've eaten here about twice a week for the last few years. Good value, clean, GREAT food, and everyone is always nice. I rotate around between "build your own" bagels, pizza, and the salads. REALLY like the fact that everything is cooked on site, every day. All the bagels and cookies are always fresh. My absolute favorite is a "scooped" turkey on sesame, toasted with butter, with lettuce, onion, and Swiss. Prices have gone up a LITTLE in the last year, but still a better value than other restaurants in the area. The workers are always cheery, but it can get busy during lunch rush. Popular place in north Golden!

I placed an order through grub hub for pick up that I thought went through. I sat an waited for the order only to find it didn't go through afterall. So I went to my car and decided to try again and just have it delivered. Still the app was giving me issues. The owner Matt approached me and asked if everything was ok. I explained that I was trying to order through the app because I had a credit. He asked what I ordered and I said don't worry about, I'll come another day. He insisted on helping and did this while honoring my credit. This is the second time I have been helped by Matt and both times he has been friendly, courteous and welcoming. I know people have expressed issues about rude staff and turnover, however I truly believe Matt is working to turn this place around and deliver exemplary service. You can tell it is important to him. Sometimes good service like that makes all the difference. Thanks again Matt...Orange Jeep lady ❤️

Always great bagel Action here. Younger work staff, however looks like the owner or manager is here frequently. Very personable and nice staff. Actually have eye contact, genuine conversation. We got the mushroom melt and the big momma, bagels are great texture and flavor, cream cheese rocks, all the toppings fresh and delicious. They have a pizza shop in here too, can’t wait to try more flavors of bagels and pizza. Couldn’t ask for anything better. Great cold brew, they okay old school Rock and roll. If you like bagels and bagel sandwiches get your booty here.

Overall great place in golden for a quick breakfast, lunch, or afternoon bite. I'm a creature of habit and this place has been my go to meal before work for years. Most of the staff knows me and my partner by name and by our order. Secretly they have one of the best muffins around, trust me I'm from the Midwest and we know our baked goods!

Be prepared to wait a minimum of 20 minutes for a bagel even when it’s not busy on a week day. I come in almost weekly, during the week, because it’s convenient and no one seems to be in a hurry to help each other or make eye contact with customers waiting around. I’ve also never seen it busy during the week. Today I waited 10 minutes, after my 34 minute online order, to ask about it. They were out of sesame bagels so they hadn’t started making the order. I’ve been late to multiple meetings waiting 10-45 minutes after ordering. When it’s not busy. It’s hard to keep giving my money to this local chain vs Starbucks when the atmosphere is sluggish and food is expensive.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Golden, CO, Pangea Coffee Roasters is a beloved local gem that embodies the spirit of community and quality. This charming spot specializes in house-roasted espresso and offers an array of delectable pastries to complement your coffee experience. For those on the go, their convenient walk-up window makes it easy to grab a quick breakfast while enjoying the picturesque surroundings.
I don’t normally like coffee. I love the coffee at Pangea. It’s genuinely the best coffee I’ve ever had. Big fan of the honey latte, hot or iced. Great place, great experience, great vibe, if you can, go there.
Jd G — Google review
My fiancee and I love Pangea. I have bought their bulk coffee beans several times for my espresso machine, both online and in-person. They are friendly and I love the down-to-earth vibe. Their prices are excellent and they have great quality and selection. Some of the other roasters around town seem to charge extra for the pretentiousness! When I've bought online, the shipping has been very fast, and the coffee shows up fresh. I will buy from this place as long as they are open.
Graham D — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Incredible Coffee, Worth the Hunt!" This local coffee roaster in Golden has some of the best whole beans around—smooth, rich, and bursting with flavor! Every cup we brew at home tastes like it came straight from a specialty café. The only challenge? Their hours can be a little tricky, so it feels like a mini adventure trying to catch them open. That said, it’s always worth it when we do! The quality of the beans and the warm, small-batch vibe make this place a true hidden gem. If you can swing by when they’re open, stock up—you won’t regret it!

Great little coffee shop. Seemed to be really popular with Mines (Engineering College in Golden) students. It definitely get like a place I could sit down and spend some time. I know this is only my personal opinion but I wasn’t a fan of the flavor of their espresso at all. It seemed very earthy and a little bitter.

Don't let the fact that Caribou Coffee is a chain deter you from coming! I love the Caribou Coffee shop by Colorado Mills mall. Great location, really nice staff, easy parking and good coffee and snacks. The decor is eclectic and welcoming. You can sit in a nice lunch chair by the fire place, at a table or at the large wooden table with benches for a more communal experience. The coffee is not fancy but it is good and they have lots of options. It is also fun for kids choices because they have lots of fun non-coffee choices which are harder to find in those coffee only cafes. So come have a cold brew, crafted press hot coffee or fruity frozen concoction at Caribou Coffee today!

Love the coffee and people who work there are mostly friendly. My only complaint is that they seem to always ignore/forget/maybe not realize when I add whipped cream or some other add-on to my mobile orders. Which isn't the biggest problem in the world and is a little petty on my part, but it is kind of annoying every now and then.

The baristas were rude and seemed like they didn’t want to be there. This was my first time here and the one who took my order rushed me through despite there being no line and barely anyone there. She cut me off multiple times and screwed up my order. She was more interested in talking to her friend/coworker. The coffee was good, but I felt completely unwelcome

Starbucks is a well-known coffeehouse chain originating from Seattle, offering its signature roasts, light snacks, and WiFi access. The staff at Starbucks locations are often described as friendly and accommodating, with a good understanding of the menu and rewards program. Customers appreciate the cleanliness of the stores and the welcoming atmosphere created by natural light. Some visitors also mention convenient locations for meetups or after outdoor activities. Additionally, Starbucks is noted for its accommodation of dietary restrictions and support for reusable cups.
Love this location! They always have something super cute written on my drink and sometimes even a cute smiley or sticker on my food :)

There were only two employees when I came in and they both seemed rushed, but happy. I wasn’t greeted or helped right away. The drinks took a little longer than expected, but that could be due to the lack of workers. There were quite a few people seated inside and outside, as well as customers coming and going through the drive thru. Normal Starbucks menu (pastries and drinks) and normal cups were for sale.
Kaeli W — Google review
This is such a nice Starbucks! The views are incredible and the seating is perfect to appreciate the wonderful nature around Golden. However the service is horrible! I came here after a hike with my friend ordered a trenta black tea with sugar free vanilla. In the past i have had a watered down tea and a cup full of ice. I was very specific in my order not to add any water and to go light on the ice. The took over 10 minutes to give me my tea they took care of all the drive thru and kept skipping my order. I literally watched the barista water down my tea in front of me after i ordered it from her. I didn’t make a big deal of it but i call her out on the way my drink was made. I don’t understand paying $6 for a tea that is watered down especially after i asked you not to. Very ignorant young women working her as much as i enjoyed the out door space I’ll skip it…

I really hate this Starbucks. Every time I come here, there's an issue. Before a long road trip, I ordered a venti pumpkin spice latte and only got hot milk. Yesterday, I did a mobile order and had to wait a long time before inquiring. Not a single person of the 5+there greeted me or asked about my order. Someone squirreled out on my drink. It was half made under the cold brew tap. I mobile ordered because I was in a hurry to get up the mountain. Clearly, that was lost on this crew. Avoid it all costs.
Deborah A — Google review
For over a year, the employees keep all their personal belongings on the handi-cap table so no one can sit there. I've reached out to Starbucks corporate, but the manager and employees still do it. They have loud team meetings and employee reviews in the lobby. There will be no seats in the store, and they refuse to move their junk so customers can sit there. Today, March 18th, I asked them to move their stuff so I could use the table, they said no, and went back to their loud team meeting. (You can see the team meeting in the back of this photo, 6 starbucks people at the round table)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More Than a Five-Star Review – A Priceless Barista ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow, today was special! This Starbucks has been one of my favorites for over a decade. I used to work right next to it, and that's where I met Linda. She has worked there forever, and let me tell you—she is the best. Working in healthcare, I know how important those small moments are before a long day. That morning coffee (or in my case, a Refresher) can set the tone for everything. Linda is one of those rare people who doesn’t just make your drink—she makes your day. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine care remind me how much better the world could be if everyone treated others the way she does. Today, after moving an hour away, I just happened to be in town and stopped by. To my surprise, I saw Linda—not behind the counter, but as a customer! We spotted each other through the drive-thru window, and of course, we had to catch up outside. Even after all these years, she still made my day, reminding me that the world is full of amazing people. Linda isn’t just a great barista—she’s a truly special person. More than five stars—she’s priceless. ✨ #Starbucks #KindnessMatters #CustomerServiceExcellence #blessedbeyondwords222
