What customers say

As a European, one of my favorite things to do when traveling 🧳 is to look for local coffee ☕️ shops instead of large chains. Independent cafés almost always have their own personality, aesthetics, design, and approach to coffee ☕️ , and that’s usually where I find the best coffee experiences.

Went here for breakfast around 7:30 on a Saturday. Very nice and cozy vibe with oldies playing in the background. I got a Handshake latte and a chocolate and cardamom bun and then a cold brew to go. Personally my favorite was the cold brew, which was excellent and is made using a 12 hour drip system.

★★★★☆ — Vlad, 2025-10

One of the best coffees I’ve ever hard. Crafted art, true passion, excellence and love for the world of coffee. If you love great coffee or you’re a coffee aficionado, this is a must-do cafe experience. The staff are friendly and courteous and the artists chilled and cool without being pretentious.

★★★★★ — Michela, 2026-03

Goldchild Coffee is a must-visit if you’re in the area. I flew in from the Bay Area and didn’t want to leave without experiencing it, and it was absolutely worth the trip. The owner greeted me—and every customer—while roasting at the roaster right at the entrance.
