    Little August & Larry's twin grandsons

    The Gold Hill Store is like taking a step back in history to the 1880s. It's a rustic, homey and friendly town gathering place. It has become a destination for visitors both local and out-of-town. ( Also, for local cyclist.) It has a full bar, coffee choices, and an assortment of baked goods. Their pizza is a customer favorite. If it's winter, to sit by the pot belly stove with a beverage is catharic. If it's the weekend, there will probably be music in the evening. Check it out!!

    The Cookie (delicious)

    Cool place with lots of bikers passing thru. The cookie was absolutely amazing and worth the drive

    Quite possibly the best chocolate chip cookie this ever made by mankind. The perfect one of crispy and chewy

    Best spot in Boulder County, hands down. Can't recommend the Willow Sandwich enough if you are looking for the best vegetarian sandwich around, but everything is always so damn good you really can't go wrong.

    More than just a general store

    There's something special about Gold Hill and at the center of it all is this place. One part general store, two parts bar and restaurant, and in all ways the heart of town, the general store is integral to the community. We love it here and we visit often, running errands in Boulder and then taking Sunshine Canyon up toward the mountains and home. You can order pizza and sandwiches pretty consistently. Sometimes there are quiches or desserts available. You can usually get a magic bar. The bar is pretty well stocked for such a small town and though you'll pay a little more for the privilege, this is a great place to get a drink and have a conversation. They also sell snacks, basic household items, and basic bike supplies (lots of cyclists come through Gold Hill). A special place worthy of your time.

    The Gold Hill General Store is a must stop when in Gold Hill! They have delicious sweets, quiche & magic bars for brunch food if you stop in early in the day. They also have amazing homemade pizzas (take n bake or cooked onsite), paninis and delicious specials of the day. They have a wide selection of beers, wine, mixed drinks and sodas. Service is friendly & casual. Friendly dogs are welcome. Relaxing, sunny porches in the front and back. Highly recommended this small town store. Please drive slow through town.

    This place hits the spot in the best way. Comfortable, personable staff, good food, nice selection of drinks, and an indelible part of the small town of GOLD HILL. Going up or down Sunshine canyon without paying even the briefest of visits is a missed opportunity.

    Such an amazing place! Eclectic doesn't begin to describe this 100+ year old establishment. We've been here twice so far and will absolutely come back. This is a true general store, carrying staples for the locals, prepared meals and a full bar. Stopping here is a must for anyone visiting Gold Hill. Be sure to visit the back patio!

    After a snowshoe stroll in Sunshine Canyon at Bald Mountain, we needed lunch and rather than return down to Boulder, we continued up the canyon to Gold Hill. I rarely go up to Gold Hill in the winter. I am a big fan of the town's primary summer eatery so I usually am having dinner there. But the General Store has a nice cafe in addition to general supplies for purchase by locals and visitors alike. It is a popular destination for cyclists doing the steep ride in the summer, as two in our party have done before. But I am not capable of such a ride. We were the only customers on this post holiday, very cold, day. The staff of one, was super friendly and helpful, and she heated up our selections. They were quite tasty. Among us, we were served some chicken green chile, a slice of quiche and a slice of chicken pot pie. I had the chili, and though a soup consistency, was very tasty. This and the other selections were enjoyed by the rest of the party as were the herbal teas and bhakti chai with almond milk. Yes, it is that kind of place. We sat by the wood stove, the only source of heat, which was finally revved up by the time our food came. We had gotten there just after opening so the place was still a bit chilly. Very quaint place and it can be very busy in the summer though only one other customer, a local, came in while we there.

    Interesting little store. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. We stumbled across this store when we were driving up in the mountains in Boulder. This little store is heated by an old school wood heater and there are little odds and ends that can be purchased here. We noticed there were some homemade pies that looked inviting. We tried two beers we've never heard before and just sat by the fire. This is a good place to stop in while up in the mountains.

    Friday night pizza & beer @ Gold Hill pub

    So....this is not really a general store. They recently changed their sign to read "pub" instead of "store," and you can indeed buy a beer during the few hours they are open. They have a coffee menu too. You really can't buy anything useful here (NO toothpaste, snacks, asprin etc), just locally-made tea and jade jewelry. It's old, dusty, cluttered and it's been for sale for as long as anyone can remember, asking more than anyone is willing to pay for this tiny old dusty spot. There's a neat old wood-burning stove that serves as the heater (it's a very old building) and the mismatched tables, benches and chairs seem as old as the town itself. I was a little scared to check out the bathrooms, honestly. It's kinda neat to stop in for a beer if in the mountains, passing by and see that they're open, and they do have live music sometimes. They started doing a Pizza Night on Fridays but it seems that they kinda stopped, which is okay because the pizza was cooked who-knows-when then just sitting out on the counter (though they kindly offer to microwave it for you.) Just don't expect this to be a store, or a pub. It's not really much of anything right now. Maybe someone will buy it for too much money and turn it into something cool in this sleepy little mountain town....

    Snow isn't a problem.

    One of my favorite cafes in the Denver-Boulder metro area…read more Food & Drinks They have a delicious spread of cakes and scones, and what I really like is that the menu isn't constant and keeps rotating, so there's always something new to try. A standout detail is that all their flavorings and syrups are made in-house, which really elevates the drinks. You can even buy small bottles of their syrups in-store. Service Service is quick and friendly. The baristas are especially helpful in explaining pastries and flavor profiles, which makes it easier to try something new. Ambience The cafe has a vintage cottage, cozy vibe with plenty of nooks and crannies -- perfect for both conversation or getting some work done. Overall A warm, inviting space with great pastries and thoughtfully crafted drinks -- definitely a spot I keep coming back to, even from South Denver.

It's the perfect set-up for a one on one conversation. Put the phone down and the laptop away! In addition to ambiance, there are plenty of coffee and tea options as well as some food options. I have found their pastries to be eclectic and tasty, and they'll package up a few for you in the most delightful packaging. Overall, a very sweet spot tucked away off of Pearl St!

We had heard of this cafe as they had been food hosts at a party at a Kühl on Pearl and were hoping to actually eat in their cafe when they coincidentally moved next door to one of our favorite local eateries. We were in the neighborhood around lunchtime so we stopped in when we arrived it was busy, by the time we left, it was packed. It's a unique menu fit for most palates and healthy as can be. It attracts athletes if all ages, healthy eaters of all types. You won't find much meat but there is some. It also as an Asian flair with offerings of congee and fried chicken sides, fish, rice and veggies of all sorts including kimchi . Japanese egg salad sandwiches too. That's one I need to try next time. Today we both chose the mushroom congee with 7 minute egg and a hot drink. A spicy chai with oat milk for my husband and berry hibiscus tea for me. We both enjoyed our meals but just a bit too much garlic for me but just right for my husband and must others too. I loved the volumes of mushrooms and the sprinkles of spices on the whole egg. The egg was done perfectly. My husband brought home a side order of popcorn chicken as I will be at a meeting so he will be eating dinner alone. The service was great, everyone friendly and helpful the cafe bright and clean and the ordering counter moves fast. They deliver to and clear the tables. More quick casual places should do this to avoid the piles of debris at bins in the seating area I often see. There is a flat panel screen on the wall featuring cyclists in the wild given that energy snacks were the first products of this company and much for sale here too. The mix of diners covered the spectrum of adults you would expect in Boulder. This cafe is only breakfast and lunch so come when convenient earlier in the day. Parking is free and always available in this center. Lots of construction around the intersection so plan your trip to get into the lot via Alpine and not Broadway. That Broadway construction will be ongoing for a while. It's also a good place to arrive by bike. Pricing was very affordable and variety of meals wide.

Service: Excellent. They check in without being annoying even when it's super busy. The staff I've encountered notice nonverbal details when you need something. Space: Limited seats, so it can get packed with a wait. Indoor and outdoor options. Outdoors can be nice in the morning during summers under the umbrella - otherwise, can get really hot in sunny spots by afternoon. Cost: $$. Not cheap but not expensive.
