Golden West Cafe

Such a welcoming and warm service! They really made us feel at home. The food was delicious! I had the Goldi-lox Omelette and 🧑‍🍳💋, I think it was the best omelette I have ever had. My partner got the huevos Motuleños and also loved them. Finally, we got the Lisa Marie hot cake, which sounded “interesting and like such a weird combination,” but it was so good! Can’t wait to visit them again!

I’m not vegan at all, I literally will each any and everything, as long as it’s not still moving on my plate. But, I first visited here with a friend on 11/2/2025 and I was pleasantly pleased. My friend told me that we came while the restaurant was undergoing construction, but the place was still nice. They had moved the bar from the back of the restaurant to the front and was still in the midst of changing the atmosphere with more decorations. The food was amazing, I got the regular French toast and the stuffed corncake. Each were delicious and a must get again! My friend got the pumpkin curry soup and she wasn’t really a fan, so the waiter was super accommodating and offered to take it back to the kitchen. She loved the way my corncake looked and tasted that she wanted one of her own. We also got the vegan waffle and the cauliflower wings. The wings were breaded super well and were so crunchy with a good kick to them! The best I’ve ever tasted. We’ll most definitely be back.

Two friends and I had brunch here today and the food & staff was excellent! There was a short wait (despite it being a Sunday morning) with seating inside. The menu is fantastic with plenty of choices like alcoholic & non-alcoholic crafted beverages and insanely good appetizer, meal, & desert choices. The three of us shared several dishes and all throughly enjoyed everything! After our meal my friends and I wanted to take a few pictures with the gorgeous artwork inside (we were also dressed in costumes from a prior event) and of course, staff was extremely kind and let us take photos as long as we wanted. Thanks to the staff for making such a wonderful experience!

What a beautiful, creative, peaceful, uplifting design both in place and menu!! Excellent service. I look forward to returning. We were there on a Friday at 10am and with about 11 tables of guests it was easy to have conversation.

This place is great! They had a specialty drink menu, and the drinks were delicious and huge! We didn't eat this time but I cannot wait to go back. They have a gluten free menu, and a ton of vegan stuff!

This is a somewhat eclectic spot on the Hampden main street. They offer a wide variety of entrees (with a southwestern/hispanic twist), including burgers, burritos, and enchiladas. All were tasteful and decently sized portions, but were quite pricey. They have lots vegan options, and supposedly started the first Vegan Week in america. They have a lot of seating indoors and can accomodate larger groups. Definitely worth a visit!

This is thebcoolest diner you'll ever visit. The unique decor (Buffalo heads, antique ceiling, dolly Parton on the bathroom stalls, and old portraits) makes this place a delight to visit. You'll see something new each time you swing by. The owner is friendly and the food is good for the vegetarians and the carnivores among you. The vegan food needs work as what is on the menu is highly processed and salty...but at least they gave it a shot.

I've thought about writing a review for Golden West Cafe several times but haven't, because, ultimately, I always return. We used to go more often for brunch, but my boyfriend and I stopped when we realized that hot coffee refills were few and far between - so now we only go few and far between for hair-of-the-dog brunch. When server quality varied wildly in the dining room we stuck to always sitting at the bar rather than take the risk. When we had two instances of grease-pillow tots because the frying oil was too cold, we started ordering side salads. The brussel sprouts are usually either too wet or just burnt. If we don't check the specialty burgers for each ingredient before the server leaves ( because we know at least one ingredient will be missing), then we know that we need to emotionally accept that we won't get the ingredient. We do this because the great experiences at Golden West Cafe outshine these flubs, and calling over a server for every little thing would be miserable for the server and us. The more experienced staff are GREAT. The food when cooked appropriately is delicious. The bar program has always impressed me. We can take our whole family with all their dietary restrictions, preferences, and allergies. So this is why I haven't complained. But tonight I visited the restaurant for the first time since its bar move and what I saw finally made an issue big enough for me to talk about. As pictured, the placement of the new bar in conjunction with the wall seating and air conditioning vent makes access to the only restrooms completely inaccessible to anyone other than the able-bodied. When I brought this to the attention of one the servers, he gave a heavy sigh of realization and told me that no one had thought of or brought up this issue at all during the whole process. And now what I thought were once little quirks of GWC feels like people not paying attention to the details - this one, particularly significant. I really root for this restaurant but I feel like it's constantly shooting itself in the foot with all these oversights.

I came here a few weeks ago for the first time in like 15-20 years, and was happy to see the decor upgrades since that time. It's a nice open space with a western vibe (the golden west). Our server was nice but didn't want to interrupt us when he brought us water so we didn't know who we should talk to and ended up waiting a bit. Was a little hard to track someone down during the meal, but we eventually got what we needed. Foodwise, was happy to have lots of vegan options. Tried a few things to share. - Bowl of pumpkin soup - enough to be an entree but not exciting enough to eat as an entree. Flavor was fine. Wasn't a fan of the pumpkin seeds on top. Didn't feel like the texture made sense with the creamy soup. Would have been nice with some chunky sourdough toast or something, but wasn't an option. - Vegan French Toast - pretty good! - Vegan biscuits and gravy platter (with chick'n patty and just egg) - pretty good, a little heavy to eat a lot of. Just egg was better than expected - Black sesame latte with oat milk - not bad, a little sweet. The black sesame is a light nuttiness, not a super obvious flavor. It came with a little sesame candy/cookie thing on the side. I think the vegan food landscape is kind of limited, and it's hard to find good options. Golden West is a decent choice, which is honestly the main reason I'm giving it 4 stars (otherwise I'd probably give it 3-3.5). The menu is certainly interesting and has a lot of tasty looking food combinations but in practice I'm not sure how it would shake out. I think some of the options could be improved. I don't think I had anything with a wow factor (i.e. nothing I'd write home about), but I enjoyed my meal for the most part.

Hello, This will be a updated review. I reviewed this restaurant about 10 yrs ago and raved about the corn cakes. This restaurant has gone through many changes and the food is no longer the same. I visited on 7/2525 and ordered the same corn cakes and they are no longer the same as the ones I use to love. They had a very strong baking powder taste and were very thick. I also ordered a side of bacon and they cooked it so long it was like the worst bacon I have ever had at a restaurant. I will no longer be recommending this place. I was not able to add this to my previous review but wanted to make it know that I no longer like the food and will not be returning.

Art and plant-filled, the inside is very unique and interesting. They have a variety of breakfast-dinner meals with an american/mexican focus. They also have desserts including vegan options. The food is good but a little pricey for the portions. There is also a large variety of drinks including alcohol, soft drinks, café drinks, and smoothies (vegan options). The service was a little slow but the servers are super nice and have good recs.

I have enjoyed my times at Golden West Cafe for both dinner and brunch, especially because I am a vegetarian and there are SO MANY options for me here compared to most places! The ambiance is quirky and laid back- don't expect it to be all glitz and glam, it is a cafe/diner and that's what make it work! I have always had such kind servers who help explain menu options and offer advice on what's good to get. Easy to get a reservation as well!

Love love love how many vegan options they have! The atmosphere felt very trendy and the workers were ALL extremely friendly from the minute we walked in until the minute we left (all individually greeting us and telling us they were glad we came and to have a great day). I loved my vegan burrito (Christmas style--half red and half green sauce on top) it was very very filling and I ended up taking half of it home. The Boston crème donut filling was phenomenal! The chocolate on top was very liquidy so although it tasted good it left a huge mess. The donut part just tasted like bread. I do think the filling made it worth it to still get though. Bathrooms were clean and we didn't have to wait to be seated. Had to pay for parking which never makes me happy but I'd say it was worth it and we would come back here if we are ever in the area again for sure!

Great atmosphere! Jesse our server was incredibly positive and hospitable. Food was well portioned and presented. Manager was approachable, knowledgeable and professional. If ordering the zucchini pancakes ask to omit the green onions. Pancakes were cold. But EVERYTHING ELSE was wonderful.

Okay so here it is bullet point style: - service: FANTASTIC!!!!!! Super kind and knowledgable. - food: we ordered pretty basic. things and they took FOREVER. It was pretty good though. However, it was weird that there was no salt and pepper on the table. I could have used some, but we just ate. - My coffee came out cold AF. My friend's was warm but mine was cold. We were cutting it close to our next appointment so we just made it work. This was my second time going there and the second time being like mehhhhh.... However, I really love the decor and the plants.

Definitely a mediocre cafe at best. Service was a bit slow but ok with friendly enough staff. The decor is a bit old and worn out looking along with the tables and chairs. A very casual dining spot for breakfast or lunch. My friend and I dined here over the weekend around noon. It was pretty busy when we arrived. I ordered a latte while my friend got coffee. For food, I chose the Fish Tacos and my friend got the Wild Mushroom Omelette. My fish tacos were so flavorless. The only sauce that came with it was the sauce from the coleslaw, nothing else was added or drizzled over it. Not the best food from my experience here but it's not too expensive if you're looking for some basic cafe food.

I recently returned to Golden West for the first time in a long time. We were planning on just getting a quick pastry or sweet treat but ended up enjoying some carnitas nachos. We sat in the back bar area in the couch section which is beautifully decorated with thriving plants. It's such a vibe! It was around 4pm so we weren't super hungry but wanted a little nosh. The carnitas nachos caught my eye. The nachos came out fairly quickly and were made with yummy, melty cheese and delicious shredded carnitas. The carnitas has so much flavor as if they had been marinated in a careful combination of spices for hours (I sensed some nutmeg or cinnamon in there maybe?). I was impressed since I know Golden West is known as a vegan friendly spot but they sure know how to prepare some delicious carnitas too. Although this was a quick stop in, it was a good reminder that Golden West is tried and true and just as good as I remember.

Golden West sometimes waxes and wanes with service and atmosphere, but it's a Baltimore staple for a reason, and solid. In this current iteration, the food and service is on point! My bartender was Lucas who was hip and knowledgeable, who gave timely, warm service. The Nacho Salad did not disappoint, nor did the Bloody Mary. The rest of the cocktail menu was also v intriguing! Lot's of things I want to try. I think the Nacho Salad has been a menu staple for many years, and I hope it's never goes missing, it's actually... perfect. Yup. I am a little disappointed the bar was moved to the front of the restaurant, it felt cozier before, but I'll be back in any case and my visit still deserved 5 stars.

Golden West Cafe is truly one of our all-time favorites. The food is amazing and there are options for absolutely everyone - vegan, gluten free, and, if you're neither, delicious omnivorous/gluten-included versions of almost every menu item. It makes it so easy to bring a group knowing everyone will find something they love. We come here often but one of our most special visit was for our wedding rehearsal lunch. We used their private party option, which was perfect - the planning and coordination were seamless, and everything was set up exactly the way we wanted. They also recently remodeled the restaurant, and it is it so cute and cozy. I caught myself subtly taking photos of some of the decor ideas to try to recreate at home. We can't recommend Golden West enough. And Sam, the owner, is wonderful. This place deserves all the love!

First of all, I ordered a Lavender Latte and was informed they make their Lavender syrup In-house. They had me at "Hello!" The service was wonderful, food was excellent, coffee was superb. We visited the day before they were closing for renovations... I can't wait to go back when they reopen. The place nice when we went, so excited to see the upgrades. Hubby had a traditional breakfast with fresh house made biscuit, delish. I had a Sopapilla Enchiladas, incredible flavor. Very friendly and welcoming spot. Great for large groups.

Went here after my graduation and they'd JUST opened. Ordered the stuffed french toast, an egg and bacon. It took them 49 minutes to bring our food and it was cold. Sent it back . My boyfriend ordered the burrito, 2/5, nothing too special and it was incredibly overpriced. The cafe itself is cute but there are other places that will be more attentive with better food. Even after sending back cold food, the bill was still about $35 for the burrito, orange juice and water.

Great food, great service, fun Hampden vibe We sat inside near the open window and it was such a cute spot! Loved the decor of this place too!!! Drinks were great and all was fairly priced :) Food was sooooo good, perfect spot for brunch/lunch! The service was as well, they handled all our requests very kindly and showed us some Baltimore charm Definitely coming back!

This was one of my favorite restaurants, but sadly I was treated like less than a human on my visit on Tuesday. I got there around lunch time and although there were only about four other diners there with me it took over 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge my table. Several servers walked by making eye contact with me, but never took my order. When I finally just said I should get up and leave the patrons next to me gave me a Nazi salute. I am a black woman. I was so embarrassed. I am also pregnant and really was craving their food. I'm so sad that this happened to me.

I stopped here when I was in Baltimore last weekend and it was so good! I got the chicken and Brie sandwich at it was to die for! As a garlic lover the garlic fries were amazing, but buyer beware, you will need a mint after eating them. The service was lovely and was matched with a very cute interior. It felt so cozy and relaxed. We were sat at a table with a sofa and it almost felt like we were in friends at Central Perk! A must go!

Came for breakfast and the food did not disappointment . Though it was al carte ... the food did not disappoint. The French toast and pancakes were somehow made with pure love because they both were absolutely delicious . The service was great and the wait between ordering and getting the food was little to none ! The overall place was just great . Can't even lie the Dolly Parton mural in the bathroom is my FAVE !!!!!

I visited Golden West Café this morning, and the experience was unfortunately very disappointing. It took quite a while to get seated, even though there wasn't a long line. Once we were finally seated in the back area, it took over 20 minutes before a server even greeted us, and another 15 minutes before our order was taken. When we finally got our food, we ordered extra hash browns to go -- but they were completely burnt and not edible. The hash browns were so overcooked they were black and crispy all the way through. We tried to call the restaurant afterward, but although the hours online said they were open, no one answered and it appeared closed. The rest of the food was just okay, but the vegan sausage was barely edible. Given the poor service, long wait times, and inedible food, I'm extremely disappointed and not sure I'd return.

I wish Yelp had half stars. This rates as a 3.5. We had an attentive server and generally everyone had a smile on their faces for my little one. I took my 4 year old for a Mommy and Me brunch date. I tried the vegan french toast with bananas and walnuts. It was my first time trying vegan french toast so I don't have much to compare it to. Everything tasted fresh and I would def go back to try some more breakfast items. My daughter enjoyed her burger (no cheese) and the fries were yummy with those big sea salt flakes. She wasn't a fan of the bun on her burger, which was a bit burnt on the inside so she just ate the meat and fries. This is a family friendly, casual spot. There's a nice park/skate park across the street to take your small kids on a nice day. Food wasn't particularly seasoned strongly (my eggs didn't taste like they had any seasoning), but everything did taste fresh. Will def give it another try. I will say there was a plethora of vegan options here, so if you have that restriction, this might be worth a try.

Brought my man here for dinner since he's never been! We arrived on a Monday evening around 7:30pm. They weren't busy since it was close to closing time. Our server, Blake, was great in making recommendations and checking on us frequently. I had the birria burrito which had a nice flavor and full with meat. The tortilla did get a little soggy towards the end but overall it was pretty good. The consume was flavored well too!

My family and I have spent countless birthdays, date nights, dessert runs and brunch outings at Golden West. It doesn't matter when we've gone or what we've ordered, Golden West has delivered each time. To start, Golden West nails the vegan milkshake. My daughter is a fussy eater who is vegetarian but not vegan. She abhors most vegan versions of things especially ice cream. She asks to get a milkshake from Golden West each time we are in Hampden. She prefers their vanilla version. I like what they do with cookies and cream. They incorporate so many Oreos that it turns the vanilla ice cream chocolate looking. Along with milkshakes, we almost always grab coffee when passing by. They have many alternative milk options and different flavors. I usually just do an oat milk latte. For me, the allure of Golden West is their vegan chicken based sandwiches that use Little Fig Chicken, a mock chicken made locally. They offer many different menu items with this chicken. I've had a chicken and biscuit with gravy, a buffalo chicken sandwich a supremo chicken sandwich (with nozzarella sticks) and a chicken parm. You can't go wrong with the chicken and their is a lot of variety to fit whatever your vegan preference is. Golden West also crushes the buffalo cauliflower, vegan waffles and french toast, vegan tacos and fries. The dessert at Golden West is incredible as well. They bring in a number of different desserts from Vegan Treats in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I've been to the Vegan Treats storefront and it is the best vegan dessert I've had. Once I learned Golden West has Vegan Treats items, I started making dessert a priority. Peanut Butter Bombs and cupcakes are my normal go to. I absolutely adore Golden West for all my vegan junk food needs.

Decided to spend the day in Baltimore with a friend and we had wandered over to Hampden because it's adorable and there are Christmas lights so naturally needed to find a dinner spot. Walked around the main street in search of sustenance around 5:30 PM and saw a bunch of people in Golden West Cafe along with the promise of live music starting at 6 PM. We ordered a bunch of dishes: -Brussels Sprouts: delicious!!! Super generous serving of well-cooked sprouts with great flavor and not too much oil (of course, I could always use less oil but these were pretty solid for restaurant sprouts) -Zucchini Brie Pancake: surprisingly good! Reminded me of a scallion pancake but also had a strong brie flavor. Both savory and sweet, with an interesting syrup pairing that tasted a bit like vanilla caramel. We were in this! -Chicken, Brie, Bacon: fairly standard chicken sandwich. The garlic fries were good though -Sopapilla Enchiladas: turns out I don't actually like Sopapilla! The sopapilla was a bit too hard to eat. The Unchicken was fine, but I could've used a bit more flavor The live music was AWESOME and the service was equally fantastic! Would definitely come back on a live music night for good vibes and more brussels sprouts.

I don't like writing bad reviews, so this one is painful to write. However, my hope is that improvement is made in some of the areas I will mention. When we arrived, the hostess started walking us to an area and said to herself "nevermind" and then started walking in the opposite area where we were supposed to telepathically know to follow her. We did and learned that she was not the hostess, but, instead, our server. I instantly wished that we had been seated in another area to have another server. She took a while to take our orders. And, when she did, she didn't seem to be knowlegable of the menu. For instance, she was not sure of gluten free options (and it was not clear on the menu what was gluten free). My daughter specifically selected this cafe after a google search and reading reviews about gluten free options. She does not eat gluten for health reasons. The menu offerings are pretty interestng, and not in a good way. There are tacos, but only fish tacos. There are burritos, but ones with ingredients you don't usually find in burritoes. The attempt at creativity was evident, but it did not seem to result in delicious output. We ordered a grilled chicken salad with apples, goat cheese and walnuts, green chile hamburger, grilled chicken burger with bacon (can't remember the name) and hopi cakes that are cornmeal pancakes. The grilled chicken salad (which we shared as an appetizer before the meal) was the best thing out of everything and it wound up costing over $20 because everything was an add-on and they didn't have a variety of salads to choose from. When the server brought it out, although we told her that we were sharing it, she brought one little itty bitty 5 tsp-sized round of dressing instead of one for each of us. She never came back to check on us, so my daughter had to go to the hostess stand to ask for some more salad dressing. The rest of the food, including the fries touted as "garlic fries," was pretty mediocre. Even the drinks we ordered-- hibiscus rose lemonade, ginger tumeric lemonade and strawberry lemonade-- were syrupy sweet concoctions that did not taste anything like they were advertised to taste like. If I were alone, I would have left.

This place is one of my go-tos for brunch. With a huge variety of options including tons of veggie/vegan dishes, they have nearly everything one might want from a diner. They also usually have specials, sometimes highlighting seasonal produce. The ambience is really fun, with quirky decor, lots of plants, warm colors and a huge garage window that floods the place with natural light during the day. At night, it feels like a buzzy casual and unique eatery. These photos are from brunch recently; everyone really liked all their dishes. The food took a while to come out (~30-40 minutes) but drinks came out quickly and service was great. I'm docking one star because over nearly 9 years of coming here, sometimes the food is hit or miss. There's been times where I've gotten food that wasn't very tasty, cooked improperly, or in the worst case scenario, the lettuce was unwashed. But I'm glad I gave it another chance, because I love their menu and all the vegan options are really great. Overall, I would come back for brunch and for their happy hours, where you can get really great deals on drinks and apps. I don't necessarily expect the highest quality food all the time, but it's great when that happens and still worth it to go for the variety of options with a group of friends.

Jesse was a great leader bartender, great engagement, good food selections and amazing interaction. Will come back again . I had veg chorizo nacho salad , flash fried brussel sprout, and other patron had veg buffalo chicken sandwich.

such a quirky and charming cafe with a vast menu! tons and tons of vegan and vegetarian options, as well as meat options. my friend and i both got the breakfast burrito and it was MASSIVE and soooooo tasty. my chai latte was the perfect combination of sweet and "spicy". we had great service, although it was a thursday morning and not crowded. the restaurant is quite large but there is no outdoor seating. it's definitely more of a restaurant than a cafe but i'm sure on a weekday they would let you camp out at a table with a laptop if you purchased something. parking can be a bit challenging -- there is parallel street parking on all nearby roads (and the road that golden west is on) but can fill up on the weekends. parking is fairly cheap though -- $0.50 / hour. bring your vegan / veggie friends here and they will thank you!

Good vegan food, truly fills you up, nice interior design. I've heard the staff are treated VERY sub-par and the new bar director can be bad to her employees as well (rumors I've heard from prior staff). Also I've heard this restaurant celebrates when other places on the avenue close down? Not a great attitude! But the food and atmosphere have always been good from a customer POV

8/31/2025 Nice décor. Service and food: average. The Hangover Burger $20.00. A House Bloody Mary $10.00 incurs extra $1.00 for hot sauce, wasn't requested or mentioned when ordered. Food often served differently than described. Drew's special served with one tortilla instead of the two stated on the menu. A tiny salad dressing come with an additional charge. The coffee cups are stained inside. You are driving away regular customers. Overall rating: 5/10, Value: 3/10

If you are looking for a down home morning breakfast with a variety of options for everyone to choose from.. then pull up. For breakfast we tried to separate dishes that were really interesting to try as they were vegetarian dishes. The space is pretty big and can accommodate a large guest count.

I stopped in for a quick brunch with a friend on a weekday around 11am. Surprisingly there were a fair number of tables occupied! The restaurant is currently decked out with holiday spirit and it makes for such a cozy and warm environment. We were seated quickly and the servers were very friendly and quickly told us they were out of a few items, which was helpful. They had several drink and food specials but we got a few mimosas (excellent juice to champagne ratio) and ordered off the regular menu. We had the sopapilla enchiladas and fish tacos. The enchiladas are lovely and very filling, but make sure you request hot sauce on the side if you like things on the spicier side. I am looking forward to returning to try more of the menu!

It's become a running joke in my house when we order delivery from Golden West Cafe--what part of our order will be *missing* this time? Ordered the Drew Special and there's no pico de gallo or salsa fresca. Last time I ordered from the restaurant they forgot the dessert. I don't get it, is there a reason why my orders are incomplete?

All my local homies love Golden West Cafe. Whether I'm coming here for a solo lunch to read my book and get a cup of coffee or tea and have a good meal or I'm taking friends that are visiting from out of town for an absolutely wonderful breakfast. I can always rely on the golden west Café. You won't find a funkier interior or staff friendlier.

The mushroom omelette I got was definitely filling, but not amazing. It wasn't especially flavorful or special, so I would recommend trying something else. The service, however, was great and speedy. Inside, they have a variety of western decorations.

The food is solid, with fun vegan and gluten-free options, but service can be hit or miss. I've had great brunches here, and I've also waited 40 minutes for a burger. Still worth visiting if you're in Hampden.

They brought back the minced garliccccccccccc I am in loveeeeeee. Thank you guys so much for caring about the customers input and making that change back to the minced. You guy made my day You rock!

Not sure if it was a bad day, or just bad timing but the chorizo burrito wasn't the best. I was hesitant on ordering it due to not really being my style but wanted to step outside the box. Everything is a bit pricey but that's expected for the area, the staff was nice and inviting, but could use a few pointers in the kitchen.

Love the vegan Options and the vibe! Great photo opportunity as well and cute bar. Food was delicious and would love to come again

Love trying new places when I visit Baltimore. This place is located in hampden It was cute eclectic with pleasant service. Definitely will come back again when I'm in town.

I've had many private dealings and meetings and such here. Additionally, the food is delicious! In fact, this has been my favorite spot for 4 years, great for business.

Golden West Café gives so much variety in their menu. They have both vegan and regular options. The food is amazing this and environment is beautiful. They have great artwork and plants

We had such a great meal at the golden west cafe. In town from Nor Cali, our group included a few who are vegan or eat a plant based diet. My sister had seen this Hampden hot spot on the news so we went... The place is super funky with lots of plants and taxidermy...everything we ordered for delicious with my only complaint being that the tacos were too for me to eat all three. The owner had a chapter in Albuquerque New Mexico so some of the dishes have a New Mexican flair. Starters we enjoyed were the Brussels sprouts and the cauliflower wings. We also enjoyed the Hope blue cornmeal pan cakes, quesadilla, Aztec burrito and the tacos platter with green chili chicken. I really enjoyed the menu. The southeast decor was fun. It reminded me a bit of the Frontier in Albuquerque. I highly recommend for those eating a plant based diet and beyond.

at 6:30 on a friday this place was not very busy. we were seated immediately and the staff was very nice and very attentive. i got a thai tea with almond milk which had good flavor but was pretty weak. for food, i got the vegan month special peach cobbler french toast and it totally blew me away! this was easily some of the best food i've had in baltimore. the dollop on top was some kind of vegan sweet cream. it was really delicious with a wide flavor profile (hint of banana flavor even) and i will for SURE be back. my friend got the special CBPB waffles and i tried a bit, the peanut butter cream is incredible. it's probably hard to go wrong with whatever food you get here. it was outstanding!

I didn't think I would come here again not because I didn't like it the first time but because its just not a first choice. This time it was. We were thinking breakfast-y food and I immediately thought of golden west. This was a last minute decision to come and I was worried we'd be waiting for a table. Thankfully, we got seated right away. We ordered huevos mutoleos and the Aztec burrito. Each dish was a sufficient portion enough that you can save it for the next meal. I wasn't able to finish mine so I did exactly that. While both a different in their own way both, the huevos mutoleos and the burrito were bean heavy and very filling so prepared to get comfortable on the royal throne. My date liked the food. If they're happy, I'm happy. One of my girlfriends is vegetarian. If she is ever in the area early enough I would take here since they cater to vegetarians.

One of the best restaurants in Hampden! I love their fun decor and food. I always order the same thing since it's my favorite but I really do need to try more things. I always get the sopapillas with chicken and green chilies. It reminds me of my time in NM. My daughter loves to get the different kinds of pancakes they offer. The Elvia pancakes are especially good. It can get super busy on weekends and they don't do reservations so plan to go early.

I cant tell you when Golden West Cafe went from just meh to a foodie destination but I am so glad it did. Every time I go into golden west I know they food is going to be thoughtful, creative, and delicious. The decor in there is so nice and bright with great spaces to relax, the couch next to the gallery wall at the back of the bar is my favorite place to have a drink. Also as the highest compliment I can give a place is Golden West is the only establishment where I can get a vegan meal that I dont miss meat at all. Love this neighborhood place everyone needs to make a visit

The sopapilla enchiladas are one of the best breakfast dishes I've ever had. Good Bloody Mary. Servers should make it clear when there is an upcharge when offering substitutions like tots instead of fries or making the Bloody Mary spicy (yes, that was $1).

We decided to come here for Maryland Vegan months. The menu looked interesting for the specials but when we showed up and saw their regular menu, pretty much everything can be substituted and made vegan. One caveat being it's not soy free for the most part (which is so niche I know but this is an FYI for others like my BF who wants to eat more vegan but has a soy allergy.) There are a couple options though. A lot of the Lil Fig vegan options were sold out unfortunately. I decided to get the shrimp lettuce wraps and my bf got the Bahn Mi. Both dishes were solid. If someone made me vegan food like this everyday I'd become a vegan myself. The shrimp wraps were light and yeah a bit messy to eat but worth it. My BF enjoyed his Bahn mi sandwich as well. Ambience and decor are very cool. There was a live band playing and we were sat right behind them initially. Which my poor eardrums suffered till we asked a server if we could move seats which they quickly did and apologized for the inconvenience. Very nice service. Definitely want to come back here again.

Food was quite bland. I'm guessing she was a runner, but she was rude as heck. I didn't even know this woman. Cute place but we won't be going back. I've eaten better food at the hospital.

1105 west 36 street Baltimore, Md May 23 ,2023 4 people 1230 Lots of options for all . Nice to see vegan option since three of us are vegan . We ordered vegan tacos , huevos ranchero , vegan burrito and everything was perfect and tasty . However we waited like an hour for our food and we were in a hurry . Service was good and friendly . Parking is street parking and this was down the block . Can't wait to come back and try some more vegan food .
