Veggie Burrito
Amanda P.

This place is still on point from the last time I visited. Breakfast veggie burrito- so good. My picky friend really liked the thunderbird sandwich. Coffee is very very good. We both got iced lattes and really enjoyed them. The gluten free baked goods are fresh and have creative flavors. Service is fast and friendly. Vibe is western local. 5 stars on all accounts.

Nice little coffee shop with lots of good choices and plenty of room to sit. Plus a nice little seating area right outside the front door.

Pooped in very quick to grab a latte as the weather had changed outside and I was freezing and needed something warm while we strolled Golden. I opted for the bee and lavender latte as it was sweet and just what I needed. Pricing was typical to what I'd pay back home on the easy coast. The cafe itself was very cute and cozy. Service was friendly and on the slower side.

Veggie burrito, kids burrito, quiche

I'm a fan of Windy Saddle Cafe and will continue to visit. My favorite part is their kid friendliness with their Kids Corral area and kids menu! The food and lattes are good - I recommend the quiches. My gripes: 1) wish the kids area was cleaner, 2) wish the bathrooms were cleaner. This place gets very busy given the great location in downtown Golden. Visiting before 9:30 am on weekends is ideal. They have outside seating and free wifi.

Coconut milk coffee with sugar-free vanilla, sp yummy

Cutest little cafe that had gluten-free options, yay! I got the breakfast sandwich on GF bread. Was able to get it with turkey sausage or deli turkey instead of bacon. And they did goat cheese instead of cheddar since I cannot do dairy. It was kitchen approved and SO GOOD! It came with a hard cooked egg and I would totally come back and get this again. Also, got coffee with coconut milk and sugar free vanilla, very yummy.

This cafe has definitely left an impression! I love that they offer inside and outside dining, the cafe's vibe, the menu variety (including gluten-free and vegan dishes), and the cute place. The decor from the lights to the menu sign, to the chairs and art is truly unique. The service was unmatched! Both of the employees I interacted with were kind and friendly. They're also one of the only cafes I've been to with a designated children's play area. Definitely a spot worth popping into while in Golden. playroom. Will definitely be my first choice to stop by every time I am in Golden. Highly recommend!

Great little patio . fun rustic decor inside- not like a chain coffee shop. Have some pastries and tasty croissant sandwiches.

Tasty food, good portions, nice service, relaxed seating both indoors and outdoors. Several veg options. Thanks!

Windy Saddle is the cutest little breakfast/lunch spot ! So many delicious plates to choose from - breakfast food, sandwiches, salads, wraps, and more. They have a great coffee selection as well. The staff is extremely friendly and made for a pleasant experience.

Delicious display of desserts

Super cute little coffee shop. Indoor and outdoor seating, right on the Main Street of Golden. It was very colorful inside with display of foods and chalkboards covered in different color writing with all the things they have to offer. I ordered an iced pumpkin spice latte, the peach chia pudding, the goat, zucchini quiche, and an apple crumb cake. They had so many options. It was hard to choose. The coffee was good, a little bit stronger than I would have liked for a decaf. I don't know if I would order that one again since there are so many other amazing looking choices. The peach chia pudding was five star. The pudding was a perfect texture and the addition of the peaches was perfect. I would also get the goat cheese, zucchini quiche, a five star rating. A generous portion and very flavorful. The only thing from keeping this from a five star rating is the Apple crumb cake. Not only did it have no flavor, but it was dry and hard as a rock. It looked very good, but I must've gotten an NP and I could not even cut into the back half of it. I would definitely try another bakery item next time because they had some incredible looking pies, but I would stay away from the crumb cakes.

Mugs available.

Great hometown coffee cafe with a great selection of breakfast and lunch items. We like the coffees, particularly the oat milk lattes.

I went away for 20 years and returned to my beloved San Francisco, only to find the bakeries that had the best sourdough are now gone. Boudini's is the big name now but it is a far cry from the sourdough I grew up on. Even the extra sour is not close. I was sad for years thinking great sourdough was just a sweet memory. But Saturday, I made my way to Grateful bread and bought on of their loafs of sourdough. I got home and thought I would try a taste of it. OMG! My Genuine San Francisco sourdough is back !!! I am so happy now. I was just going to have one slice but I have already had 5 slices and it isnt even meal time yet. It takes all my strength to hold back from getting piece number 6. I want to say thank you Grateful Bread for making a product like it used to be made. No short cuts or inferior product to cut costs, just good honest bread. Also got your white bread and hamburger buns, so very good! Next time I will buy other breads to that were recommended by the great people waiting outside with me. Definitely want to try the Rosemary sea salt sourdough and the almond croissants, they say are to die for. It is 40 miles round trip from my home so I will have to try to keep it down to every other week. Needless to say, I highly recommend Grateful Bread Company.

Parking was limited, and it is way awkward to get in and out with a car. We got the "fiona" (a mango-kiwi dessert), a "scarlett" (raspberry chocolate dessert), berry-licious croissant tart, and a lemon madeleine. The "fiona" was perfectly balanced with a solid mango and kiwi flavor coming through. It had creamy component, a cake component, and a fruit component with a glaze. Not too sweet, but certainly sweet enough to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. The "scarlett" was intensely raspberry in the mousse component. The raspberry jam on top brought the sweetness to temper the tartness of the mousse, and the chocolate cake and chocolate cookie components also balanced out the dessert with a nice natural bittersweet from the cocoa component. The fruit croissant tart had nice fruit on it, and the cream component reads like a yogurt. The croissant part itself was very tasty and makes me excited to try their original butter croissant next time. And finally, the Madeleine was very impressive. I am not a fan of frosting-like stuff on Madeleines, but this worked so well because it was not too sweet. Very balanced flavors, yet again, with some of that natural bitterness again that contrasts so excellently with the flavors. If I could only use key words to describe their desserts, it would be: beautiful, balanced, complex, and natural. I won't be able to come here often due to how far away I live from here, but I know that I will be back.

Plenty of bicyclists visit. If you're going to buffalo bill's grave/museum, boettcher mansion, or anywhere else on lookout mountain, then this is a must-stop. Even if you're not hungry, spend some time here. It'll be worth it. The selection was not as enormous as some other places throughout Denver, but the items they make are absolutely delicious. I had a smoked cheese baked into a split bread, and it was so good. We also got a citron tart, an apple tart, and gorgeous. All satisfying. The coffee... I didn't expect it, but it is top-tier coffee. I ordered the americano, and it was bursting with complex flavors. It wasn't just chocolate or burnt or, god forbid, dirt. It was more than just a diner coffee. A real coffee nerd would appreciate this coffee. I should have asked where the beans were from. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they got it from one of Denver's top roasters. What a treat. We'll be back for sure.

So refreshing to hear that authentic greeting since I worked in Paris, France. The place is big and airy, similar to a warehouse. Everything is made on-site the day of. I opted for the pomme de Tarte (Apple tarte) and the olive baguette, which is Amazing! They told me that the baguette dough takes a few days to rise and sit. So it takes three days to make it. It tastes chewy and a little hint of sourdough taste, so good! It brought me back to Paris! I'll be back to try coffee and other things on their menu. I also noticed they sell the famous tea du marriage frères. I think if they offered a light lunch menu like Niçoise salad or croque monsieur it would be nice.

I waited until they opened on Wednesday (closed Monday and Tuesday) and made my way over shortly after they opened at 8am. There were only a few people in line, so it honestly was perfect timing. I was shocked with how many options there were. Many types of bread, pastries, etc. Honestly, it was a little overwhelming trying to make the right decision! They also have coffee and matcha. I ended up getting a loaf of bread, a savory danish, a lemon sugar cookie, and the coffee cake to share with my partner. We ate the danish and coffee cake for breakfast and saved the cookie for dessert in the evening. Everything was delicious!! I can't wait to go back and try more pastries!

I'm from Chicago and I've tried every other "top-rated" bakery here, and honestly... none of them even come close. The staff is amazing. I stopped in a few minutes before closing once and instead of being annoyed, they were super nice and even gave me a free coffee cake, which was delicious. The maple morning bun is my #1 ride or die. I'm not even a pastry girl, but this thing is unreal. It's not too heavy, not overly sweet, perfectly crunchy and flaky, soft in the middle, just absolute perfection. Everything I've tried has been amazing: maple morning bun, monkey bread, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls. I still think about those cinnamon rolls and really hope they bring them back soon! Fair warning though: you have to get there early. If you're not an early riser, find someone who is or you will miss out. Lucky for me, my husband wakes up wayyy earlier than any normal person and always gets me a treat!
