Do not go here if you are trying to study or work. Their WiFi kicks you off after only 1 hour. The bathroom is connected to a bar and is absolutely disgusting. 2 stars just because the food was pretty good. I've only tried their panini though. It's good, but not worth $15. read more

The staff were knowledgeable, prompt, helpful and kind getting me my coffee and delicious savory quinoa breakfast bowl. The spot is perfect for studying, fair warning it's only an hour of free wifi them you're on your own! read more

All we got was a latte and it was delicious but there were so many things to choose from and LOTS of gluten free options if needed. The staff is friendly and moving fast so there wasn't any wait at all really, even with the busy weekend traffic. Lots of seating, both inside and out. Right on the busy main drag though. read more

Fun cafe has good drinks and food. The cleanliness could be improved though and the hot chocolate I ordered lacked any kind of peppermint flavor. The cinnamon roll was pretty good but not amazing. read more

Windy Saddle Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Super friendly staff with unique drink options! I popped in to grab a quick coffee while we waited for a table at a nearby restaurant. I ordered the gold digger iced and it really hit the spot on a surprisingly hot spring day! The western vibes of the cafe is super cute and fitting for Golden. read more

The veggie hummus wrap was so fresh and delicious!! New favorite lunch spot. Soups and breads were delicious. You have to try the eggnog bread. The vegetable hummus wraps are 10/10. Everything was great, even down to the ice tea. read more

When one needs a pick me up and good biscotti while in Golden Colorado, windy Saddle is the spot to be. The have fast wi-fi, great desserts and conscious coffee. I found this gem in the late afternoon while looking for something sweet to eat and some energy. The vibe was low-key and the decor was interesting. If I lived here I could see myself being a regular. read more

This is a coffee/tea establishment with a few sides. The staff behind the counter are really young with no manager or expeditor . So, be prepared for 1/2 hr wait for a smoothy... breakfast burritos are mostly potatoes . Coffees and lattes are great but, once again prepare for the long wait . Staff is friendly . Bathrooms are dirty and locked. Great location and outdoor seating - first come first serve. read more

This place is busy, busy and for good reason! Friendly staff, yummy food, and great coffee! Get there early or you might be waiting for a seat. Seating is first come, first serve. They call out names for coffee and give you a number to take to your table for food. Thankfully we found a spot pretty quickly. The quinoa bowl was delicious and I really loved the sweetness that the vinaigrette added. It was the perfect size for a quick bike before our hike. read more

Windy Saddle Cafe - Savory quinoa bowl, bagel with salmon, and side of the day featuring edamame - Cafes Near Me - Golden, Colorado

One of my favorite spots in Golden. The nice staff here deserve 5 stars on their own. I really like the atmosphere, it's very cute and quirky and a good place to meet friends or do a little bit of work. It's not too expensive either which I appreciate. It's definitely just cozy all around. Parking is starting to get more overwhelmed in Golden but the lot behind this place allows you to park for free for like two hours. They've also had a nice little outdoor area since COVID that I think will continue so that's great for the warm months. Definitely just a non-pretentious little place with a lot of heart. :) read more

Windy Saddle Cafe - They have some delicious paninis! :) - Cafes Near Me - Golden, Colorado

I got a fruit windfall smoothie. It was great and very flavorful. A good size too. I also had a sip of a latte. It's ok. Good service, a bit of a long wait for our drinks but that's not their fault. read more

Nice, casual atmosphere and good bakery items and drinks. I definitely recommend stopping in for a light lunch!

The Windy Saddle is a perfect little taste of Golden. The atmosphere was welcoming and thriving. The customer service was polite and accommodating. The coffee was delicious. We also decided to get breakfast which was flavor full and well portioned! Recommended: The Honey Bucky Badger Latte read more

Windy Saddle Cafe - Avocado toast and mediterranean quiche - Cafes Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Lavender Rose ChamoMint tea is like a spa day in a cup. Just the right level of sweetness. Worth waiting for it to steep and cool before eating one of their baked goods - the pairing makes me feel like I'm at a British high tea. Baked goods were a little disappointing. Staff recommended the coffee stout coffee cake saying it was always good, but it tastes mushy and with limited flavor aside from its sugary, graham top. Cinnamon roll is 2.5 out of 5 stars. Meh. Coconut chocolate cookie is great! Saved the eating experience for me. Nice and chewy. Fully satisfied the chocolate fiend in me. WiFi is only good for 1 hour. They have a kid's corral - a play room in the back for kids. Nice touch. They have a library which you can donate to - cute idea. Overall, OK vibe and loads of drinks to choose from. OK to bring your laptop and work from, but I would choose another coffee shop in the future for work. read more

Had lunch and coffee here while in downtown Golden. The shop is cute- lots of places to sit and relax, tons of books line the shelves for reading and the ambiance is very cozy. We had a couple sandwiches and lattes- everything was great! The staff was very pleasant and friendly- definitely stop in if you're in the area! read more

This place is awesome.This cafe is cute, the service was great even with a crowd, and if you're ever in Golden this is the place to get breakfast. A mix of tourists and locals, families and college students, friends catching up or business associates having a meeting filled in most of the seats. They've even got a little kid area in the back and a library shelf. If I'd been in town longer I'd have gone back to try more of their menu. Well I say that and yet the breakfast burrito was perfection so I could not have gone back and not ordered one. That would just mean ordering more and having leftovers, I'm still in. Next time, Windy Saddle Cafe, next time. I rarely drink coffee at home, but when on vacation I need it since I don't sleep. Here I ordered the Gold Digger, an espresso drink with caramel, chocolate, milk, and optionally topped with whipped cream. I could have done with a touch more caramel in it but it was perfectly fine as is. I just like my coffee as least coffee was possible. I'm mostly alone in this, ha. Still a good coffee drink and I'm glad I picked it but the cinnamon drinks were calling me too. If I didn't have a flight to catch I would have tried another. Flying while I'm flying is not my thing though. The plain croissant was just that and makes for a simple breakfast or light snack. I am not interested in simple or light, ever, so I went with the meat breakfast burrito and had that baby smothered in green chili. Now if you've never had green chili- you are seriously missing out. If you've never had this breakfast burrito with green chili you are also missing out. It was perfect. A little heat, plenty of porky goodness, and just the right of moisture added to this burrito loaded with scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, green chilies, cheese, and sour cream. Such a good note to end my vacation on. Goodbye Colorado and goodbye Green Chili. It's you and this breakfast burrito that I'll miss you most of all. read more

Wow I stopped into this cafe to try for lunch since I was on the Main Street in Golden. It looked super cute and cozy. When I first walked in it was quite and had such a lovely vibe. We ordered lunch which consisted of one of the salads and the fig and pig sandwich which had prosciutto and fig and cheese in it. These were both huge portions with affordable prices. We loved the food and it came out in a timely manner. It was quite in this cafe which is a great place to study or do work. They even have fresh bakery items. We loved our lunch so much we decided to come back the next day for some smoothies. These were amazing !!!! Such a great place if you don't mind waiting for your food for a bit. Will definitely be returning!! read more

We decided to stop here when we were looking for a snack and walking down the main strip in Golden. When walking in - interesting decor. The front part is your typically coffee shop set-up with different chairs and small tables. The back part was interesting with loud colors and a random room for children to play in. I wanted to look at the baked items but the way the line stanchion and tables were - it was hard since there were other customers around. I ordered a chai tea latte. The girl taking my order gave me options of 3 different kinds. I decided on the "spicy" one which I inquired about for more details as to what made it spicy. She said it had a kick but wasn't too bad. I also ordered a baked item - almond cinnamon French toast bar. We were given a number and sat down. Our drinks were called once done so we got up to grab them. Shortly after, our baked item came out. I was actually surprised because I didn't expect it to be heated and then whipped cream to be added so that was a delightful surprise. My chai was not good. It had more that just a kick. It made me want to cough every time I took a sip. I would not recommend and wish the girl had a more accurate description of it. read more

We liked the ambiance of the place and wanted to give it a try. The service was good and the workers were all friendly. Hiwever, the food was a bit dissappointing. The coffee tasted like it is reheated from the day before, and the food was way too heavy that made me sick. read more

Golden, Co. I find it interesting that everywhere I go in this country there is a coffee shop just like this, serving similar foods, and even have the same chalk board menu. This is a good thing as most make delicious coffee as does this place. The latte's here are rich and one of the barista's is a talented latte artist. She is also the one who serves them up good and hot. The other lady only steams the milk slightly above warm, hence four stars instead of five. The quiches are really good even the veggie one. The one with the bacon I wolfed down. The yogurt granola dish has a great presentation and the granola is tasty even though there a few raisin clumps. The WiFi password is posted on the counter so it's easy to log on. Plenty of places to sit and never had to wait for the restroom. read more

The service was slow. The food was nothing special. My sandwich was way too sweet and the restroom was disgusting. We will not be returning. read more

Good food, but be prepared to wait a WHILE especially on the weekends! Otherwise, the baked goods that are good are great, the ones that aren't are really dry. The ambiance and staff are really nice though! read more

Absolutely my favorite breakfast place in Golden! I got the veggie style burrito with the green chili on the side and it was amazing!

Exceptionally poor service and customer relations. We were there for Golden Days over the weekend and went in for a bit. I travel with a "real" legitimate trained service animal (golden retriever, Samson) and were asked to leave and refused service. The management is obviously not properly educated on federal ADA law and requirements. We tried to explain where they were in error and to educate them to no avail. I have no idea about their food, but the treatment of their patrons and handicapped guests is far from appropriate and proper. For a town that is know to be dog friendly, there treatment of those that require a working service animal is less than hospitable and friendly. Needless to say, a federal ADA complaint will be submitted. read more

Gluten free heaven! So many gluten free pastries or loaf options. And gluten free bread for any of their breakfast sandwiches. Can't go wrong with any of the pastries, they were soft, perfect consistency and just yummy! read more

The coffee was very good and they have a wide selection of light food to go with your coffee. The servers were excellent.

Fabulous coffee and breakfast selection. Highly highly recommend! The veggie breakfast burrito was 5 stars

The Windy Saddle Cafe is one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Golden, CO. We've eaten here on previous trips to Golden and have always found it to be a great place. I had the Rodeo (pastrami) Reuben and my wife had a corned beef Reuben. We had 1 side of chips -- which were really good Boulder Canyon chips from Boulder, CO -- and 1 side of Cole slaw. Both the chips and the slaw were excellent. And the Reuben sandwiches were exceptional. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. Service was also very good. read more

Yummy iced oat milk latte! Ambiance appealing and service with a smile. Good spot! Thank you!

Love coming here! Great atmosphere, the baristas are so nice, and they have a great chai latte! The service is great. Drinks come out fast and hot (or cold). Highly recommend! read more

I got the fig panini - the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. This place is SO good!!! Huge menu with so many creative, unique options to chose from. Great atmosphere inside as well. 10/10 would recommend!!!! read more

Lovely and cozy coffee shop/cafe in downtown Golden. Tall ceilings and lots of exposed brick. All the customers in line were wearing masks, and we were able to order quickly. My oat milk latte was delicious. Definitely want to come back and try their food when I'm more comfortable indoor dining. The baked goods looked delicious. read more

With so many dining options in downtown Golden it can be hard to pick. This spot intrigued us one Saturday afternoon and I'm thrilled we stopped by for lunch. It was cozy and inviting as we stepped in. I feel it's rare to find a mom and pop style place in an area like Golden that serves unassuming simple but delicious food. I ordered a delicious wrap and a pastry. We enjoyed the street patio set up. The flavor was fantastic. read more

Windy Saddle Cafe - Veggie Breakfast Croissant - Cafes Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Stopped here for a quick breakfast and coffee after riding bikes to downtown Golden. I got a coffee and a croissant veggie sandwich. Sammie was simple but good. Croissant was tasty. My bf got the granola with fruit and it was good. Coffee was good, they didn't have pour over coffee though so not really a real coffee shop lol. Bathrooms were pretty dirty, tables hadn't been cleaned, and they didn't have any cups by the water. They serve beer and wine and coffee and breakfast and other food and they have a mini library and a kids play area. They are a jack of all trades but a master of known. read more
