We decided to browse inside. They have a wonderful selection of Birkenstocks, dansko, and more. She ended up buying me the boots, as well as a pair for herself. There was an adorable store puppy named Ruby, too. I'll definitely return to buy more of these classic shoes.

The Birkenstock thong sandals turned out to have a hard plastic between the toes and nothing will soften for comfortable wear.

The stores in an old building, so walking on the wood floors is kind of aesthetically appealing But the bigger deal is this: I'm the kind of shopper that I like to walk into a store and assumed that they will probably have what I'm looking for even if I don't really know what I want And whether it's shoes, clothing or camping supplies this place absolutely fits the bill You will not be disappointed when you go in here. They have items on sale in the basement so keep an eye out for that. You expect to find superior places in big cities, as opposed to where I'm from, but I really had nothing to complain about this one !

Going into Dear Golden is like walking into a wearable museum. This is the nicest, classist, most tastefully curated vintage store I've been in. They also started doing more jewelry and home goods too which don't stay around long so I always see something new they have put out. I also like that the owner and Jasmine (love her) are never pushy or walking around trying to up sell me things they know don't fit quite right or don't match my hair. To the contrary, when I need any help they will whisk into the changing room to tie up that corset one more half inch if I give them a little wink. Finally, I love that they are extremely knowledgeable about the historical significance of the clothes and jewelry. They know all the top--and lesser known albeit important--designers of the various periods and they have encyclopedic breadth of why the clothes were designed and worn. With all the nice articles in there, makes me wonder what's in her storage...guess I'll just have to wait and come back soon.

I could spend an entire day here. I wish they were open Monday's as that is my day off but... always come down on weekends when I can. I emailed the owner looking for a dress I had previously tried on in store and she had it available and ready online to purchase immediately! That timing was rare and special! I received it four days later! All the reviews about staff being snobby.... I don't understand at all. My partner and I travel to different shops such as this across the US and collect unique items... there are snobby people but dear golden... they aren't them. People reviewing saying they are, now that sounds snobby. I wish dear golden all the best and can't wait to return.

Dim lighting, modern upscale design, and a record player playing chill tunes. I ordered the Plain Jane matcha which was $10.50. A little pricey, but I was willing to try it out. It was definitely the best matcha I've ever had, and it makes sense that it would be more expensive compared to other places' matcha which tastes watered down in comparison. I will definitely be coming back. Just for the atmosphere. And I'd also like to try their other drinks including the pour-over as l am such a big coffee fan.
