Golden Natural Foods

Did this store close? I am sad! It was super pleasant and had a good variety for its size. Also good sandwiches.

Sorry, but the store has closed. Their last day was October 10^th, 2014.

I used to hit up GNF quite a bit for their sandwiches. Back in the day they made a tasty GNF sandwich. No doubt about it. Their sandwiches still may be good, I’m not sure. I gave them an extra star for their tasty sandwiches.
I’m writing this review for their non-​food store items. Today I went into the store for a specific product that I’ve bought there before. They didn’t have it. I asked the little boy working the counter if they might get it in the future. His reply: «duhhhhh, I don’t know.» Asked him if they even carry it anymore. «duhhhhh, I don’t know.» tThis went on for a bit more as I tried to get the tiniest ounce of useful information from this guy. \font{sarcasm} Greeeeeeaaaaat customer service, tell ya whut. This isn’t the first time this has happened either! They did the same thing a couple years ago with two other products that were introduced to me by GNF. Then they just stopped carrying them.
The problem is, they bring in so many unique brands that I really don’t see anywhere else that I shop. If they stop carrying that brand, it’s frustrating because it’s not like I can just go down the street to pick up another. This seems to be a blessing (unique items and brands) and a curse (you get hooked then they stop feeding the machine).
I’d really like to see a bit more brand loyalty from these guys, as well more knowledgeable staff. As a customer, it would be nice to be met with a little more knowledge from their staff about what is actually going on in the store.

I love their Bonnie’s Bundle. The food is ALWAYS fresh and great. I was worried that when they changed ownership the quality would suffer. It never happened. The staff is always helpful and knowledgable. Keep up the great food and work.

Cute place, lots of wholesome food, good sandwiches, and sweet people… But so SLOOOW! If you don’t mind a 20 minute wait for one simple sandwich, then I’d recommend this place — good wholesome food and such sweet people!

GNF is basically a health store where people would buy suppliments, herbs, etc but it also has a small food bar where you can order smoothies, juices, and some sandwiches. Its got a few tables outside you can eat your food at, but its mostly a take out kinda place.
As a vegan it can be hard for me to find dining options sometimes and whenever I visit Golden I almost religiously visit this place to get my veggie juices and a GNF sandwich minus the cheese which is always pretty good. Its not like a gourmet meal, but its fresh, filling, and makes you feel good.

cool little natural foods market in Golden, just off the main drag in town. Don’t go in expecting a Whole Foods. this is a funky little gem full of some great natural food products and they have a kitchen and make prepared foods as well. Friendly staff and it is near a brewery!

They have great soup, sandwiches, and breakfast burritos! I like the hoppin’ turkey sandwich the best; never thought of putting cream cheese and jam on a turkey sandwich before. I usually stop here for a quick bite to eat, coconut water, or a Kombucha when I don’t feel like leaving town to go to Whole Foods. Prices are high, but I’ll pay it for the convenience. The only drawback is that their hours suck ass. I guess it is fine for retirees, but people who work during the day outside of Golden are just SOL. I’ve stopped by here countless times and incurred lengthy bitch sessions because I was either early or late and had to find somewhere else to eat.

I finally made my way past D’Deli for a sandwich. I need somewhere else to go when that place is packed (like it always is).
GNF has a small selection of sandwiches and toppings, smoothies, and breakfast burritos. There was no wait, and my wrap was made quickly. Although it was tasty, it was SMALL, and it was not worth the $ 7.50 that I paid for it. At least I didn’t have to wait in line for 20 minutes.
The market part is like a mini Whole Foods, and if I was in a pinch for something I would visit here for it.
For sandwich-​style lunch in Golden, hit D’Deli or El Callejon instead.
Maybe I’ll come back to try the breakfast burritos.

Rode my bike to Golden yesterday and stopped in to this wonderful place. I ordered the energizer by way of the juicer. It was delicious… I can’t say enough good things about this place.

This store is absolutely wonderful! We have tried a variety of their fresh sandwiches, soups, and smoothies. It’s all good and there are spots to sit inside and out to enjoy. One of my favorites was a home made coconut curry soup the owner made from scratch and served during a chilly weekend. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We buy coffee beans, snacks, and supplements here as well.
If you’re enjoying a beer or two just across the street at Golden City Brewery you can order off the Golden Natural Market menu and their staff will walk over and deliver it to you! Go support this Golden business!

I’ve only been twice so far, but I can tell this is the beginning of a long and meaningful relationship. Golden Natural Foods makes delicious sandwiches, with great ingredients, for a very reasonable price. It appears to be family run, and everyone has been quite pleasant to interact with. They even deliver their sandwiches to GCB! GNF you’ve earned a big fan, see you soon!

This place has been here for over 20 years, but it’s infused with new life under the current owners. Delicious and healthy sandwiches and soups. Good variety of food, herbs and supplements in the market. And a lovely, quiet picnic bench outside — perfect for visiting and munching on a warm day. Or better yet, take your sandwich and sit down by the creek, 2 blocks away.

Great sandwiches with fresh ingredients. Everyone here is friendly. This one is a keeper!

My husband and I have been going here forever. We both love the GNF Special, he likes the turkey on his. I stopped today for one and was unfortunately, for the first time, very disappointed. The GNF used to be an avacado sandwich with cheese and sprouts. This time, it was a cheese and sprout sandwich with a spread of avocado. Total bummer. I hope it was just someone new and not the wave of the future.

I love the selection of products they carry! It was my first time here & I’ll definitely be back!

I rarely buy anything here in the way of groceries. But I frequently stop in after a hike to grab a sandwich and a chocolatey treat to bring next door to Golden City Brewery.
The ingredients are always fresh, the prices fair, and the staff friendly.

I have never gotten any of the famous GNF sandwiches, but I do love to run there for a little snack or drink. The service has always been outstanding and quaint. If you’re in the area, I would definitely recommend going to GNF over a Whole Foods or Vitamin Cottage.

Great sandwiches, great prices and fast service. I work close to GNF and in the summer a few of us will walk over, get a couple of sandwiches and sit outside, enjoying the Golden weather.

Yep, as the other review says, great tasting sandwiches and soups for a great price. Have been getting sandwiches and soup routinely for a while. One thing I don’t get very often though is the juice, cause one time I did the juicer bucked and I thought it was going to kill the lady. Don’t know if they’ve invested in a new juicer or not, but now I’m scared of it.
It’s not just a sandwich shop — they’ve got all sorts of snacks, groceries, and vitamins/​supplements. You probably wouldn’t want to do all of your grocery shopping there (limited selection, somewhat pricey), but it’s great for picking up a few things on the way home.
