"While this bright cafe is pretty casual, the thought behind the food and coffee drinks is most definitely not. Stay Golden has a variety of proprietary blends (courtesy of their sister coffee company, Good Citizen) that are hand-selected by the owners from farms in top coffee destinations like Costa Rica, so you’re not finding a cup of joe like this anywhere in the city. After ordering at the counter, you’ll wait for your crispy yeasted waffles with vanilla mascarpone at one of the tables in the main dining room or their expanded back room. Or, if you want something savory, the biscuit sandwich stuffed with chicken thigh and spicy honey. You can also kick things up a notch with one of their Irish coffees or a carafe of the refreshing cranberry mimosa from the prosecco bar." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
