“Awesome experience! Incredible Americano and the empanadas were so good. I met the owner, Victor, and he was the kindest, coolest person ever. Beautiful atmosphere and just a really great spot.”
— Mohammed Shaikh“The coffee was great, the owner is awesome and friendly. The aroma and taste of the Golden Latte was heavenly. Definitely try the cheese and guava empanada. Delicious sweet and savory.”
— Daniel P“I have already written one review of Golden Drops, but I feel the need to write another. I love the atmosphere and coziness here and the music, most of the time, is not loud so I can read. Also, I like a nice quiet place to read my Bible. I am a Christian and made to feel very welcome, whereas in other coffee shops (Starbucks, Spillers) I am met with disapproval when baristas see my Bible. I don't know if they are Christians here, but they always make me feel welcome. Oh, and their oatmilk chai latte is wonderful, as is their specialty Golden Latte. Thank you to the owner for creating Golden Drops, for their warm hospitality and great drinks!”
— Annabel Lee“This was my first visit here and it was pretty great! The golden latte was delicious. The WiFi was speedy, I loved the outdoor seating and Juan was very personable and easy to relate to! I love that they bring coffee to you. Prices are pretty comparable to other coffee shops and I didn’t feel rushed to wrap up my work or anything like that. The music was pretty modern, but I tend to like a quieter space for work, so I threw my AirPods in and didn’t have any problems. My only very minor complaints are that there’s very few power outlets. You’ll need to bring fully charged devices if you’re intending to work. There were a few dead bugs near the window/bar seating in the inside—not by any means was this extreme. And finally, there is no public restroom that I saw. Coffee is a diuretic so I was very surprised to not see one—but also didn’t ask about one.”
