I used to love this place... creamy, frothy lattes every time. But today I asked for a latte half sweet and received whatever this is, not so tasty latte. didn't really taste like much, and was certainly not sweet. I'm unsure if it the steamer was the issue or the shots. I would like to reach out directly but can't seem to find contact info. Usually they're really spot on but the last few times have seemed a bit less satisfying. read more

Golden Glo Espresso - Great coffee, not the best spelling - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

How this coffee shop is as busy as it is, is mind boggling! I've given them 3 tries as they are close to my house. Never again! They NEVER get the order right! The girls are stressed, not only from being busy and trying to keep up, but also from the lead barista snapping at them (which I witnessed). The bagels are bought from Costco (meh!) and the coffee was watery tasting, 2 out of the 3 times I went (that's with the additional shot of expresso I added)! From now on I'm driving a bit farther and going to "Milk and Honey," where service is always outstanding. If you are going to indulge in expensive coffee and food, at least M&H tastes like it! Plus, they invest in their customer's pups experience and give them a bigger cookie! read more

Got a water with lime they put lime juice and charged me i had to ask to be refunded!! Got a bagel with cream cheese and it had Avacado all over it!!! Girls were in a hurry and the manager never even talked to me. I had to pull over to wait for them to fix their mistake and then had to get out my car!! Not happy and won't be back read more

Horrible service, overpriced and rude. Do not go here if you have a peanut allergy. Cross contamination is awful.

I am not happy with Golden Glow in Rathdrum. They constantly get my drink wrong. This morning I went back for them to correct it. I told them I ordered a pink lotus & this is not that, it tastes like an italian soda & the gal said "oh we ran out of pink lotus so I think that's what's going on" Why wouldn't you tell your customer that you're out of pink lotus so they could choose something else? Then the gal asked what other lotus I wanted & some other gal that wouldn't even come to the window just topped it off with skinny pink lotus (which was literally a splash) Last time going there. read more

Coffee overpriced, food store bought from costco. Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash

The coffee here is very overpriced for how simple and borderline nasty it tastes. Someone needs a wake up call at this place.

The bad: On Saturday, October 8, 2022, I went to Golden Glo in Hayden to grab my teen daughter a peppermint mocha before heading over to the Harvest event at New Leaf Nursery across the road. The total was $5, including tip. On Monday, October 10, TWO CHARGES PROCESSED AND CHARGED one for $5.01 and a second for $5.00. I realized the girl that ran the register must have made an error and tried to reprocess it, but didn't do it right so I got charged twice. No biggie - mistakes happen. It's how they handled it that is the problem. I went through a few days later to show them the error. The "supervisor" had zero authority to fix it so said "she would give a message to the owner" and tried to assure me the charge would "drop off." She clearly didn't understand that "processed" charges can't drop off... only "pending" charges can. A week goes by and it's just crickets. I messaged them through their website and the same thing - NO RESPONSE. I typically visit that location about 3x per week as it's near my home... but I haven't been back since they've ignored me. The same thing happened to my husband about a year ago and he hasn't been back but just a few times. I'll be happy to re-rate my review once this is fixed... but for now, I'm back to driving to town to a Starbucks where the staff knows how to run a register properly and I can trust them with my card. It's not the money... it's the principle of them ignoring an error and not fixing it. The good: Kudos for the tasty drinks and friendly staff. Would love to come back but until this is fixed, it's back to the big chain. read more

Golden Glo Espresso - Double charged for the same drink. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

I wanted to try a new place for food and coffee, little did i know i'd regret it. First i wanna start off by saying the service is AWFUL. no ambiance. nothing. This place i'm sorry it's seriously lacking in every department. But don't even get me started on what i was served. What i was served had noticeably LONG HAIRS in it?? Ive heard from a few people they have staff working there without hairnets and with lice working with FOOD. Absolutely disgraceful i will be telling everyone and their mothers to never eat or drink at this "establishment" because i sure wouldn't call it a restaurant or coffee shop. UNSANITARY. 0 stars read more

One word. Delicious!! Customer service was great & friendly. Highly recommend fair prices read more

Golden Glo Espresso - White chocolate Mocha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

I got hired at Golden Glo a few months back, and it was probably the absolute worst job I've ever had. Some of the girls (not all of them) are super rude and condescending to you, and berate you when you get something wrong even if you're still in training. They make you go through 10 days of training where they confine you to one register, and then as soon as you're out of training they expect you to know everything else. I tried asking questions about how to do things but was met with dirty looks and rude comments. I got told once, "Once you're out of training, don't ask any stupid questions for your own good." Really? The learning curve is so steep that they can't expect you to be an expert right off the bat. And don't even get me started on the owner, Eric, absolutely horrible. The only time you ever see him is when he comes in occasionally to tell all the girls they're doing a horrible job and that they're not good enough. I was finally starting to get the hang of how they wanted me to do things a week after my training ended, and Eric came in and pulled me outside alone. That freaked me out on its own, but then he proceeded to tell me that I'm "not learning and adapting fast enough" and started to make me feel guilty about getting tipped for the work that I was doing. "You have to do better, or else we're going to have to put you through training again with no tips." I wanted to cry after that, how humiliating is that? You taught me absolutely nothing, this is literally the first time I've seen you since I got hired, and you have the nerve to say that to me? I was doing my absolute best every day, busting my ass to try and get everything right. That was the day I decided to quit. Since then I've talked to multiple girls I worked with and they said the same thing about him. How he comes in and completely destroys everyone's confidence and blames them for the amount of people quitting the job within the first few weeks. It's not the girls, it's you, Eric. I'd heard from multiple people before I even started to work there that the environment is toxic and the owner is a complete creep. Also, I've gotten sick off of their food and drinks more than once. Like, throwing up uncontrollably level sick. Would not recommend, and I won't ever go back there. read more

sweet girls and good workers. food is horrible. my 8 dollar burrito was dry and the size of the palm of my hand (I have small hands). it's been microwaved and seems to have been made days ago, the cheese is hard. coffee tastes good but overpriced for a 12 oz americano. $5? but again, the girls were working hard and we appreciated their kindness. read more

I was working here for almost a month. I told Heather I can not work 12 days on with only 1 day off. (Everyone else in the shop including most mangers get 2 days off a week minimum) She terminated without any call, text, or any warning. I was not trained on coffee at all. I was not given any work clothes. I didn't get into my schedule for a full week & a half. I was treated poorly, not trained correctly. I've never had a worse job. I truly tried to stay positive durning the work experience. They purposefully wayy over charge people for their coffee plus add on's, food etc.. They favorite certain people & treat others so horribly. They get cheap food from Costco & charge way more than it's worth. I felt embarrassed telling people a tiny scoop of salsa was 1 dollar... & 2 Costco burritos were 20 dollars. We got charged 25 cents for our shift drink cup... Constantly telling us to "talk to our customers the whole time to make more money" (even when the customers truly didn't want to talk. We had to come up with random things to say) to "up sale everyone at all times"... The employees are not that good because they are not treated well. The most selfish money seeking management I've witnessed. read more

Rip off. I paid $9 for this bagel and paid $2 extra for "avocado" not going here again what a joke. ALSO I tipped $1 and when my card updated the total price they gave themselves a $4 dollar tip. Shady read more

Golden Glo Espresso - What a joke! I asked for avacodo and this is what it is. I paid $9 for this crap - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

Super friendly owner and ladies! nothing bad to say about the service at all! and cute stands!!! but the Zipfizzes are super off here. they are so watered down i've thrown 2 away. It's a zipfizz it's simple so i don't get it. But they are nice just not a fan of the drinks read more

service was good, good people. but the drinks are insane. i was a barista for six years, drink arent difficult to make, i ordered a 24 oz lotus, paid for a 24 oz, got a 20oz cup of ice, with about 3 oz of lotus and club soda. i finished the drink in a minute flat because there was no drink to be drank. i understand putting a ton of ice in a drink so the company can make money, but ripping off your customers is another thing, especially because lotus ingredients are so cheap, and charging 7 bucks for a drink, don't rip off your customers. this was a low ball move. read more

Golden Glo Espresso - cup of ice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

This is for the one in Rathdrum. I got my dog a puppacino and she handed me a cup the size of a shot glass (pic provided) normally the cups are 4 times that size. After i got the receipt and saw they actually charged me $1.50 for that, I asked if they had changed the size. She smiled and said "no we are just out of the normal cups". Then why didn't you tell me before charging me for it? Why would I want to pay full price for something I am only getting 1/4 of what the normal size is? read more

Golden Glo Espresso - This is the size of the cup that I was charged $1.50 for. Absolutely ridiculous - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

For the CdA one, every single time I order a bagel with cream cheese and bacon and it's rock hard. Waste of money.

I been going to Golden glo and the last couple of months my zipfizz hasn't tasted the same I think they are cutting back on the added flavors and they charge more then the other coffee stands. No more Golden Glo for me . read more

I'm done going to Golden Glo. Personally I think over priced especially for the drinks you get. I usually get a lotus with light ice and a burrito. Today the burrito made me sick, literally sick and I have to call out of work. My lotus I got, which I ask for light because if you don't you'll be paying for 20oz+ of ice. Today I ordered a 32oz lotus with light ice, what I got in return was 30oz of ice and a splash of drink for $8. $8! What a scam! I was already late for work so I didn't have time to return it back for the right drink seeing as it takes them, for some reason, a while to make that drink when it's filled to the brim with ice, but now I'm home sick so I can write this review. read more

Anti-masking outside is OK, but for food and drink handlers and servers, it's ridiculous, regardless of what the city mandates. This customer will not be back. read more

incredible service, best coffee and food, thanks Golden Glo!!

We were traveling/staying in the area for a few days the building caught our eye but the service and product will have us coming back!!! BEST spiced chai latte I've ever had. My fiancé had white mocha supper yummy. We had the breakfast burritos, also very good. Keep up the great service and yummy treats. read more

They have hemp milk!! So glad I stopped here, I haven't gotten coffee other than home in like a year and I'm so glad it was here. Staff are so genuinely nice and not in the fake customer service way. I'll be back!! read more

The coffee is good, but the breakfast bagel's only redeeming quality was that the ingredients didn't muddle or impede really getting to know the bagel. The internal components lack both the heart and the gumption, leaving it feeling much more like a warm cheesy slab of bread, and less like a solid start to the day. My wife says hers was pretty good though. read more

Their burritos are pretty good. And the lady's who work there are always super sweet. My wife gets their Red Bull drinks and I like to get their granitas. read more

I was at the Golden Glo at Government and Lancaster this morning. Eric, who I supposed to be a owner came up to one of the young ladies working outside. He started telling her the sweatshirt was not good enough. This sweat shirt had a hood for the rain that was coming down. Then proceeded to tell her ait was a bad sweat shirt and told her it was $30 for one of theres. Maybe this owner should look for a different line of work if he is this much of an idiot! read more

I was missing take out coffee & decided to give this location a try after a few misadventures & disappointments from a national coffee house. I'm very glad I did.. I'm hooked !!! I got the pumpkin latte with the sauce, it was OUTSTANDING! the best I've ever had and trust me I buy pumpkin treats as soon as they hit the season. I was there 3 times last week alone and will continue to go even after pumpkin season. So excited to continue my adventure and try the eggnog real soon! Thank you for being you xoxoxoxoxoxo read more

This is for the CdA location I have been going to the stand for over 15 years. Been multiple names. As I was out and about Friday, I decided to get a special coffee to brighten my day. I order, she asks hot or cold? I say cold. The drink that came out looked nothing like I usually get. It's on their menu, not something fancy. I told her at the time this was not what I was expecting. She just looked at me. I put her 1 tip on the passenger seat and left. The more I drove for errands the madder I got. I paid 4.55$ for coffee I won't drink. It was NOT making me happy. I take the drink back. It's still full. I tell her this was not what I wanted. She asks again what I want. She sends the other girl over to collect 4.55$ again. I said it was a trade. She said no, I ordered it wrong so would have to pay again. I left my punch cards for someone else to use. I'll be going to Taproot from now on! I'm still in shock!!! Lose a customer for less than 1.00$ their price!!!!!! read more

Love this little coffee shop! Sweet baristas and great coffee! The CBD is a huge plus too!

Heather is fantastic, the espresso stand was friendly and the coffee is delicious. With 2 windows to drive through there is minimal wait time. It is so hard to find good coffee in the area but Golden Glo's is the jackpot! With fresh made breakfast burritos every day and seasonal drinks you can't go wrong. Can't wait to come back. read more

I've been looking forward to the opening of the new location for months since it is just down the street from my house. Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. I've never been to the original Golden Glo, so after stopping at the menu I decided to pull forward and ask the girl at the window for some advice on what to get. I explained I'd never had Golden Glo before and when i asked what the top three best selling coffee drinks were, her response was "I don't know, all of them..." and then went on to list a few off the top of her head. I finally said "okay I guess I can reverse and look at the menu" her response was a simple "okay" and she turned and left the window. I'm not sure if she just genuinely didn't know what their top selling drinks are (which she could've told me) or if she was disinterested in helping but either way it left me feeling pretty unenthusiastic about trying any of their drinks. Part of paying $4+ for a coffee instead of making it at home is the friendly experience which this place lacked. I decided to just drive away and probably won't be coming back. read more

This is the best coffee stand in all the land!!!!!!! the barista's are all very friendly,knowledgeable and helpful outstanding customer service.
