What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Golden Harvest Cafe is praised for its generous portions and classic American comfort food, with some reviewers highlighting unique vegan options and refreshing beverages like mimosa flights. While many enjoy the hearty meals and friendly service, a few diners have noted issues with greasy hash browns and inconsistent service during busy periods.
"Great local spot. The golden nugget toast is worth its weight in gold. The homemade whipped cream rivals any 5 star restaurant. I love that they leave a carafe of coffee on the table, so there's no waiting for warmers. Our server was kind and friendly. It's a dated building, but those are often the hidden local gems. Loved it."

"Probably the best breakfast available in Humboldt!
Passing through town and this was the tentative pic for this morning's breakfast. So glad we did.
The coffee was fresh and hot and not watery. The parking lot had lots of parking. We were seated immediately. The booths are a little bit tiny so hopefully you like the people you came with because you'll be close to them.
Right off the bat. The whipped cream is fresh and made in-house. It goes in the hot chocolate and the stuffed French toast. It was a big favorite at the table.
Unfortunately, I'm not good with eggs so I was delighted to see the potato cakes. The cheese was good and stringy. The bacon was yummy. They had at least three options of hot sauce. I was simply delighted.
Kiddo got the chicken fried steak and ate at least half of it. Husband had to help with his hot cake and it was reported to be delicious. Other kiddo got the stuffed French toast and she couldn't finish but what I helped her with towards the end was fantastic. It was fried in the style that had the corn flakes. Perfect golden color achieved, with no dark brown anywhere. The strawberries were fresh and there was a light lemon custard involved that tied the whole thing together.
Realistically, if this was in some kind of upscale French cafe with a chandelier and violins, I could expect pay twice as much and no one would have batted an eye in some City.
The bathroom is gender neutral and there's some graffiti's and carvings but they can't do everything. There was also some homeless people out and about but that's pretty par for the course for the city and I certainly don't hold it against them chilling outside. The bathroom also had a changing table which is deeply appreciated.
I can't wait to go again tomorrow and eat my body weight in delicious potatoes and hot coffee. Five stars would go again, and again."

"Their menu goes HARD, and I thought that before even glancing at their Wednesday specials. Omg. Was hard to pick, but breakfast was a great treat. The potato pancake didn't look like I expected, but that's probably cuz i didn't read the description super well, and it was mouth-watering regardless. Our service was excellent 🤌🏼🙏🏼💜. Tysm!"
