We tried this place because everyone says it’s great and their donuts are incredible. When we walked in it was a weird experience all around. They must have recently moved things around because people in line kept saying how not organized the new layout was. I’m not sure what the old layout was, but upon walking into this place it’s extremely difficult to figure out where the line starts, where people are waiting for drinks, and where people are sitting to eat. The only employees we interacted with were less than 10 years old. Donuts were okay- we got 6 of them, which was a good deal at $10. Some of them weren’t great and you could tell they fill them with commercially purchased products like the lemon and raspberry filled donuts. Others like the cinnamon swirl, or the peanut butter filled donut were excellent! Coffee was way too sugary and not my style, which is probably my fault not theirs. One thing I’d recommend to the owners of this place is to have a consistent menu that is available everywhere. The online menu, and the TV screens above the registers are different, and then there was a specialty drink paper menu at the registers, which wasn’t available anywhere else. Seems like not a tight operation, or they were...
Read moreMy friends and I travel all over the country for work and one of our go-to places to visit are donut shops. We've tried them all over, enjoyed every style and type you can think of, we like both more plain styles and more simple styles, and we even have a fairly uniform ranking of which places in the country are in our "top 5". For probably 4 years now, my number one donut spot has been the same, but Golden Harvest Bakery just dethroned it! There are several reasons, but I think what did it for me comes down to the dough. The perfect combination of fluffy but dense, moist and chewy! We got a dozen donuts and the box was heavy! The chocolate frosting was the perfect texture and sweetness, the peanut butter (complete with pb sauce) donut was intense but absolutely delicious, the lavender lemon (pictured) was so unique and flavorful (disclaimer: I could only eat half of it because it was so intense) but my favorite was just one of the plain cinnamon glaze twist donuts. I will say that I really like sweet things, and my wife might have found it a little too sweet. I didn't try anything else at the restaurant, so my review is only about the donuts... but I highly highly recommend...
Read moreMe and my roommate love to explore local cafe’s. So when we found Golden Harvest Bakery & Cafe just down the street from us, we were thrilled. By far, this is our go to spot. Golden Harvest is absolutely stunning across the board. The food is amazing and comforting, the atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming, and their staff members are so sweet, and a joy to speak to. There will never be enough words to describe how much this cafe is ingrained into my heart. As a college student I also really appreciate how reasonable their prices are as well. At other places such as Starbucks or Dunkin, not only do I pay more for less, but I also feel horrible and sick afterwards. But I come here and not only do I some how spend less, but I also love how their food makes me feel. I never have a bad day after leaving Golden Harvest. It sets me up for a great rest of my day and always has been a place of comfort for me when I have truly needed it. Thank you so much to their amazing staff for always putting a smile...
