"Stay Golden has a new, spacious location in The Nations with a shady patio, but pretty much everything else is the same. It’s still bright and casual with some seriously good coffee and food. They have 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 else 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, if you want something savory, it’s all about the biscuit sandwich stuffed with souffled egg and salsa verde. You can also kick things up a notch with one of their Irish coffees or a carafe of the refreshing cranberry mimosa from their espresso and cocktail bar." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
