    Cool little place. Despite the name, there is not much of a view. I mean, you are in the mountains which is nice, but if you are expecting a panoramic view, you will not have one here. The food was flavorful, but it was cold. I had a simple smothered steak burrito. The chili tasted great, and the steak was cooked properly and had good flavor. The only complaint is temperature. I mean, it was really cold. The staff were friendly, however I did have to wait a while for water. The small complimentary chips and salsa was nice. I am not against a second shot, I may have caught them a bit early. Other than the cold food, I enjoyed it.

    Since the Chef Oscar Padilla took control of the kitchen eating in Wndervu Café is a gastronomic experience With the new menu offering unique pizzas the food offer is enriched even more Dare to ask for recommendations an try new flavors, you'll love it

    The au jus for the Pizzabirria pizza

    Where do we start!?!!! We went for pizza. We had never been, so we ordered the Messi and the Pizzabirria!!!!! Oh my gosh, these pizzas were both amazing. The au Jus with the Pizzabirria was out of this world. It was not spicy at all but had so much flavor. The chimmichurri sauce on the Messi was delicious, the crust was perfect! The Wondervu cafe was such a cute place. The staff was helpful as we were asking for suggestions, very attentive. We will definitely be coming back!

    $$ Visiting my brother in Golden CO, and he brought us to this small diner up in Coal Creek Canyon. Wondervu Cafe had indoor and outdoor seating and a very nice staff. The food was served hot and, as you can see from the photo, there was plenty of it. Parking was not a problem 11am, but we were not there during the breakfast rush. Open and airy, it was clean with solid wood tables and chairs. It was a really nice place to hang out for a meal... celebrating our family outing with a mimosa

    Family owned and run by impeccable people. Family friendly and a patio where dogs can be at home too.

    I was recommended the golden mill by many people when visiting golden and had to give a try! On…read morefirst glance, it is located right along the river that goes through the town, which is an amazing view. Once inside there is a first floor that has a few different food options as well as the pour your own beer options as well. In order to partake in the beer option, you need to get a card that you can tap to the machine and you pay per the ounce. They have other drinks beside beer on tap as well such as different types of cocktails. They have a great food selection. That includes many different varieties of food throughout the venue as well. The top floor also has a few additional beer options as well as food options. I decided to go with a barbecue option which I got a brisket sandwich which was really good as well as a side of fries and some of the barbecue sauce. I also got a beer on top from one of the local breweries. It was a chilly day out, but I still wanted to sit on the patio on the top deck, so we sat by a fireplace. They have a ton of different fireplaces, all throughout the top deck as well as the lower deck as well so sitting outside was an option for the time of the year that I was there which was March. Maybe in the dead of the winter they don't have this option but just keep that in mind. Anyways, I thought the view of the course brewery factory right across the way was really cool to see as well. The food was really good and I love getting beer by the ounce because if you don't like the beer, you can just get a different one and you don't have to make a whole glass pour every time you get one. I definitely would recommend the golden mill. It definitely seems like a place that a lot of locals hang out and there is a food or beverage option for everyone so even picky eaters would love this place. If you are in Golden, you have to visit!

    This is a real toss up for me. We were with a visitor who had been there when in Golden for a…read moreconference and thought we would like the concept of a food hall and like the sort of food she had there in the past. I am familiar with food halls at home in Boulder that I like and frequent regularly. This was nothing like them in so many ways. It was obvious that this is lived locally but in a holiday it was so ham packed that it was unpleasant for a newcomer to negotiate. Yes, for beer lovers the concept of self serve from the many taps and pay by the ounce Baxter so many in stock is novel, but I don't drink beer or margaritas and I could not find a simple ice tea. There were sodas from a machine which also did not suit me either. The concept of the scan card seems good for the cafeteria atmosphere and the beer supply but the food places did take credit cards, where at least you see the receipt etc. you leave the card in a box when you leave and they charge the credit card you entered to get it. No real review apparently by the customer. Most of the food I saw in menus and the tables were not my style either, huge portions of mediocre looking food. My husband had trouble figuring it part of the ingredient in the biggest burrito I have ever seen. He could not pick it up fore the crema decorating the tortilla which was thicker than any I've ever seen. On the other hand, my food was fairly good though grease dripped out at every bite. It was a Gordita made with crisp little corn cakes and the al pastor filling was tasty. The others in the group all had large portions of unappealing to me food so I did not taste and far too. Big for a healthy lunch. While we were eating at compared communal tables , the restrooms across from them were propped open for the steady stream of users. But on a holiday weekend a prime lunch time when we arrived, it was the only option. The entry line to get the pay card was nearby and the line went up the stairs to the entry with at least 20 to get and register the card, many with children in tow. Our guest knew where to park so that was no problem jf you are willing to pay to park for a meal. We were, but would have lived a quality meal and not a madhouse. The only staff person I spoke with because her food was dessert and not peak season for ice cream was so friendly and helpful and mad a custom snack size of her New Zeland style treat. She saved the day for me. I will not return but others in our party might should the occasion arise and clearly the locals who are regulars keep them well supported. I will stick with my local more intimate and curated food hall kitchens.
