Well I'm going to deviate from my basic rule of not reviewing businesses, particularly restaurants, during their soft (or even hard) openings, because they need time to get their legs under them. I'm deviating, in this case, because I think this one has so much potential, but will do an update once they're up and running, particularly since during their soft opening The Golden Sol has a pretty limited food and drink menu which they plan to slowly expand as they head towards their February 4th (2024) official opening.
What the Golden Sol promises is to add a healthy eating option to the relatively limited dining choices in the West Sharp Park neighborhood of Pacifica. As a "wellness bar" (ooh, I hate that term) they plan to offer soups, salads, baked goods (they darn better well make good on the promise of olive oil cake.....), along with an array of non-alcoholic and coffee drinks (another term I hate, $%$#$@!! it's coffee). I had a very tasty Acai bowl, called the Hella Well which had all the fixings, including your choice of almond, sunflower, or peanut butter and an Americano with an extra shot, since they didn't have their drip coffee machine in yet to make a Depth Charge (gotta counteract that healthy s**t somehow). I mention the coffee which usually flies under the radar because fitting in with their healthy theme they don't offer sweeteners, just raw sugar and supposedly monkfruit syrup; if you're into industrial chemicals like I am it's a "bring your own" kinda thing.
Showing the need for restaurant diversity in West Sharp Park there was a stream of what seemed to be neighborhood folks wandering in. Now's your chance to get in on the ground floor and help them shape their business.
