Lovely cute little bookstore cafe. It has a small outdoor patio and if you are lucky enough to get a seat you will get to see the most stunning view of kicking horse mountain. The chicken sandwich and the ham sandwich were the best we have ever had!

This cafe is above a lovely bookstore and our family enjoyed our stop on our drive through Golden. We had to come back because the avocado toast is to die for!! The yummiest meal I’ve had in a long time, and the staff were so sweet!

They were so kind and the salmon bagel was the best I’ve ever had and not just cause I was hungry. They also made a custom egg for my toddler. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely the Best in Town! This place truly stands out as the best in town! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff who clearly care about the quality of both the service and the experience. The coffee is exceptional – rich, aromatic, and brewed to perfection. Whether you prefer a strong espresso or a creamy latte, every cup is crafted with great attention to detail. It’s clear that only high-quality beans are used, and the baristas really know what they’re doing. What impressed me even more, though, was the food – it’s not just good, it’s outstanding! Fresh ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and flavors that truly delight. You can tell everything is made with love and passion. From breakfast to lunch options, every dish I’ve tried has been full of taste and perfectly prepared. This spot is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great coffee and genuinely delicious food. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Interesting location, upstairs of a book store. There are five tables with seating for four each. Interesting concept where you can place your order and peruse the assortment of books on the shelf. Don't be thrown off by the setting, the food is really good. Simple, good, wholesome ingredients and flavors.

Stopped in at this little café on our way to Field. Ordered the vegan Buddha bowl - was blown away by how generous the portion size was! Very filling. The staff were so lovely too. Can’t recommend enough!

Where else can you enjoy a good book alongside a delicious Buddha Bowl? So fresh, so filling, so delicious. Not to mention, every time I pop in to check out the used book section I’m greeted with a friendly welcome even if I’m not buying a coffee or a pastry. They all do such a wonderful job! Good job Bacchus crew.
