Windy Saddle Cafe is the Golden, CO coffee shop where the locals go for Serious Coffee, Food, and Baked Treats.
Coffee and California matcha
The Freshest Cup in Town. Our matcha comes from California, unsweetened and blended with milk. Feeling brave? The Honey Bucky Badger is espresso, cayenne, honey, and milk. The coffee is Kaladi, roasted in Denver and delivered fresh every week.
Breakfast and lunch in Golden, from scratch
Hearty, healthy, or topped with bacon. You decide. From scratch, start to finish, but most importantly, made with love!

Scratch bakery with gluten-free options
The Bake Shop. Our bakers bake every morning: scones, muffins, cinnamon rolls, quiche, pies, cakes, and bars. We blend our own gluten-free flour in-house. You will not find a better Gluten Free (or gluten-full!) pastry on this side of the divide.
We're a shared kitchen, not a gluten-free kitchen.
Coming in?

What guests say
"Their matcha latte is elite-smooth, earthy, and powerful enough to make me feel both calm and superior."
"Really great little coffee and sandwich shop in Golden Colorado. Nice selection of drinks (both with and without coffee). Good menu with lots of healthy options. Staff is super friendly. A good amount of outdoor seating."
"It's the perfect place to go on a rainy day and chill out with coffee and a house soup."
