I love this cute and charming little coffee shop! Reasonably priced and delicious drinks with great service from Sherry, Alex, and the rest of the staff. They serve Cat & Cloud coffee and The Midwife and the Baker pastries. Stop by next time you’re in the neighborhood!

I adore my local coffee shop. Not just cuz it’s hyper local but because the cappuccino is truly always just right—matcha latte, hojicha latte are real good too. Their miniature pastry selection is good. It’s sweet to be surrounded by all the gorgeous potted plants for sale. Owner, Shelly, is the kindest, friendliest barista I’ve ever met.

A neighborhood gem! Such a cute local spot with really excellent espresso drinks (and some fun match and hojicha drinks that I didn’t get to try). The white chocolate cardamom syrup in my latte was very creative and delicious. I went on a rainy day but on sunny days it has lovely sidewalk seating where you can sunbathe on a quiet street.

I've been to Golden Outside every day this week. I've had their latte, chai latte, and matcha latte, all delicious. The owner is very nice, quite knowledgeable, and even makes good foam art. Highly recommended.
