What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Gold Camp Cafe is widely praised for its incredible homemade baked goods, particularly the peanut butter pie and carrot cake, and its generously portioned, delicious sandwiches. Many also enjoy their coffee and hot chocolate. However, one reviewer noted cleanliness issues with flies and a dirty kitchen, which is a significant concern.
"Needed a place to squat. Place doesn’t disappoint. Egg, Ham, & honey mustard English muffin sandwich is delicious. Americano off the espresso machine is brilliant. Solid roast…not too tangy but enough complexity. Great visit."

"Looking for a rich flavored coffee? This spot in Cripple Creek is a great way to start the day. I had gotten the Hazelnut Truffle Mocha coffee, which was a great blend, being rich and flavorful. Their black coffee was also nice, came hot and was very satisfying. Food served here as well which I'll have to come back and try!"

"We were walking by when we smelled the coffee so we had to go in. It was a warm day so it was pretty stuffy inside. There were several customers ahead of us but the line moved quickly and we got our drinks faster than I expected. Do yourself a favor and order the Iced Shaken Espresso! We liked it so much we went back the next day. There's a little free library inside plus seating and tables. The bathroom was clean. The theme is pretty cool too."
