What a delightful stop in Golden! Great price. Great portion. Great food. Loved the small variety of scramble, bagels, sandwich, burrito, lunch items and pastries. Me and my fiance had breakfast scallion, soup of the day (resembles tomato basil richness), green chili (yummm), and aussie scramble. We enjoyed every bite and the view of snow and mountain while visiting this town. Definitely a come back and Great start point of the town. read more

I am so grateful I found this spot for breakfast this morning. It's in the historic district of Golden and a delightful little gem. I arrived around 11:30am. There was plenty of seating, especially for 1. In the warmer months, there's a patio as well. I was probably 4th in line and it moved rather quickly. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and then bring your food and drink to your seat. I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich, a side of hashbrowns, and a London Fog with Oatmilk. The croissant tasted like it was right out of Paris! There could've been more bacon on the sandwich, but there could always be more bacon. It didn't matter though because the croissant was the star of the show. Everyone working there was just downright pleasant. I mean, with baked goods that delicious, how could you not be? The London Fog was also divine! Flavorful, foamy (I'm impressed because Oatmilk generally doesn't foam that well), delicious. read more

Brunch. OMG go for brunch! We are normally up and out the door at sun up but we decided to snag brunch on this day. No major plans just taking our time. Enter Cafe 13. We scooted over to Golden to check this place out. They have both standard beverages and adult beverages alike. You order at the counter and then go find a place to sit. They will bring it to you. There are different small rooms inside as well as ample outdoor seating. Some of the outdoor space is under tree shade. My son had their croissant breakfast sandwich. My husband went old school with eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. I loved my green chili smothered breakfast burrito. Coffee comes in small, medium and large and includes one refill from their self serve station. I want to go back to check out their lunch offerings. This is a great place to kick off your day and then head over to stroll along the river. read more

I don't know what I could take a star off for. Amazing food/drink spot for breakfast food. The location is perfect, right in the center of downtown golden. It moves pretty quickly despite being busy all the time - you order at the counter and the food/drinks come out really quick. The staff are always really friendly and the atmosphere is very laid back and chill. The prices are very reasonable and they have a decent sized menu. If you want great breakfast in golden, look no further! First time: get the breakfast burrito with bacon and pork green chili. You won't regret it. read more

When we entered about 9:30ish it was already pretty busy and there was a line to order breakfast. You walk up, order, take a number, and they bring out your food. I ordered their golden plate and just added a side of bacon. The eggs were scrambled perfectly, toast was delicious with the brush of butter, bacon cooked perfectly, and the sausage patty wasn't dry.

Since then, we've tried the Italian scallion bagel (delicious!) pumpkin muffins, cinnamon walnut scones (crunchy with a great flavor), and the sunrise sandwiches. All yummy!

1st visit here was a takeout order for 2 for breakfast a few days ago, and it was clear this is a local hotspot! Menu has a plethora of drink options, and plenty of vegetarian options as well. The inside is a well decorated, cozy space with plenty of seating to get work done or lounge with friends. I originally wanted to come here for the veg biscuits and gravy but called ahead and they don't make that anymore. Sad face. So we got a vegan burrito, loaded avocado toast, order of hash browns, and 2 OJs. Solid choices. Ridiculously big portions, great for takeout as well. They also offer a counter of baked goods and local products are lining the shelves while you wait. Definitely a cool little hangout, especially with the side patio outs read more

I opted for the Chateau Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc from the Horse Heaven Vineyard, and it was lovely. It was very refreshing with light citrus notes that weren't overpowering and a really nice body overall. I also have to give a shout-out to the staff for the presentation; the glassware was crystal clear and spotless, which always makes the drink taste a little better. The atmosphere is perfectly casual, with TVs playing the NFL playoffs (and presumably other sports), making it a relaxed spot to hang out without being too "stuffy." We dove into their large food menu and started with the fried pickles and the spinach artichoke dip served with veggies, both of which were delicious. The service was friendly and jovial throughout the visit, which made us feel right at home. The only reason I'm knocking off one star is that we had a small lapse in service where we had to ask a second time for lemons for a glass of water, but the staff was so pleasant that it was a minor blip in an otherwise excellent visit.

Strolling past a lovely "Every Table Filled" with delighted guess enjoying food and conversation. Pretty Eyes and I walked into the Front Entrance, What a Lovely Presentation. Immediately I was greeted by Pearl, a lovey young lady who sat us inside, (I was over done on the heat!) She asked if we would like water or a drink, I prefer Ice Tea, and some water in our special Doggy collapsible bowl. Service was prompt, with menues with a Special menu, "Staff Suggestions!" This fit my desire for an incredible salad. "Butternut Squash with Feta cheese, walnuts, over frisée, drizzled with a Maple syrup house fashioned dressing!" YUM Do you have a small plate of chicken, nothing special please, Pretty Eyes and I enjoy our meal together, "Please a simple portion/child portion would be great." What the chef prepared was phenomenal. If I were not a vegetarian, (sampling for spice) I would have gobbled the glazed chicken myself. The chicken was freshly cooked, with a ever so slight glaze, TENDER was the primary touch. The service was exemplary! Especially learning the facts. Pearl and Daryl were the ONLY TWO servers!! Daryl took orders, made the drinks at the Bar and Tables besides taking food order, delivery the delicious meals to all on the patio, at the Bar and tables!! Pearl presenting seating, drinks - menu and cleaning up after customers left. This is a HUGE amount of work, and accomplished flawlessly. I had to ask, "am I out of the loop on the busyness of Golden?" "No, we have a famous country singer at Red Rocks for several nights; these are all people from Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, New Mexico and more states including Colorado. During my time at Indulge Bistro, I watched while two women accomplish a daunting task in seating, taking orders, delivering, clean up, bartending - with out as much as a whisper of non contentment. Instead many "Thank You from all customers." More than IMPRESSIVE! And the food was Incredibly Delicious. I will admit I would had preferred less frisée, yet the salad was unbelievably delicious I could not shave off 1/2 of a star! The service extraordinary from two lovely woman, and the Ambiance is not wanting for any more extras. The wine list, the surround bar, entrance, patio, Free Parking, excellant service without a complaint nor appearance of overwhelm! These ladies are professionals, with a steadfast demeanor to accommodate every customer who walks through Indulge Bistro Glass Doors in Golden Colorado. AMAZING!

Walked in and we were seated within 5 minutes. Our host let us know he was not the waiter and would bring us water or other drinks we would like and our waiter would be with us shortly. Fabulous lunch menu along with a Kids menu that the kiddos could color on which is always a plus. I ordered the half Apple Cheese Chive salad and it was fantastic. I could have eaten the full salad. When I ordered it the server asked, "Have you had this salad here before?" To which I answered no. He shared that the salad does not come with lettuce, it comes just as it says on the menu: apples, cheese, chives. Okay. It sounds delicious to me. Now I want to create this at home! Also ordered at our table: Grilled Cheese and tomato soup and Steak Frites. All were given two thumbs up! We would definitely come back here when in the area.

We were able to sit out on the deck and listen to the sounds of silver Creek nearby, which was quite nice. We also tried their garlic Parmesan fries, which were quite good, but we did have to ask for garlic aïoli to accompany them, they were just served with ketchup by default. Asking for their Aioli sauce was definitely worth it though. It was a little bit heavy on the mayonnaise, but overall was very enjoyable.
