    Tasty grilled cheese!
    Matt C.

    Had a great time this morning! Needed a bite to eat after driving around and grabbed a grilled cheese. Big portion, two kinds of cheese and tasty bread, definitely kept me going! They are a fixture and have stuff all over the place from years past. Like another commenter said, more of a watering hole than a general store, but they had great food and drinks and did have some historical items to buy about the area. The women working was super nice and cooked a fine grilled cheese. The crowd was nice and were kind to my senior dog. I'll be back next time I'm around!

    The Gold Hill Store is like taking a step back in history to the 1880s. It's a rustic, homey and friendly town gathering place. It has become a destination for visitors both local and out-of-town. ( Also, for local cyclist.) It has a full bar, coffee choices, and an assortment of baked goods. Their pizza is a customer favorite. If it's winter, to sit by the pot belly stove with a beverage is catharic. If it's the weekend, there will probably be music in the evening. Check it out!!

    The Cookie (delicious)

    Cool place with lots of bikers passing thru. The cookie was absolutely amazing and worth the drive

    Quite possibly the best chocolate chip cookie this ever made by mankind. The perfect one of crispy and chewy

    Best spot in Boulder County, hands down. Can't recommend the Willow Sandwich enough if you are looking for the best vegetarian sandwich around, but everything is always so damn good you really can't go wrong.

    More than just a general store

    There's something special about Gold Hill and at the center of it all is this place. One part general store, two parts bar and restaurant, and in all ways the heart of town, the general store is integral to the community. We love it here and we visit often, running errands in Boulder and then taking Sunshine Canyon up toward the mountains and home. You can order pizza and sandwiches pretty consistently. Sometimes there are quiches or desserts available. You can usually get a magic bar. The bar is pretty well stocked for such a small town and though you'll pay a little more for the privilege, this is a great place to get a drink and have a conversation. They also sell snacks, basic household items, and basic bike supplies (lots of cyclists come through Gold Hill). A special place worthy of your time.

    The Gold Hill General Store is a must stop when in Gold Hill! They have delicious sweets, quiche & magic bars for brunch food if you stop in early in the day. They also have amazing homemade pizzas (take n bake or cooked onsite), paninis and delicious specials of the day. They have a wide selection of beers, wine, mixed drinks and sodas. Service is friendly & casual. Friendly dogs are welcome. Relaxing, sunny porches in the front and back. Highly recommended this small town store. Please drive slow through town.

    This place hits the spot in the best way. Comfortable, personable staff, good food, nice selection of drinks, and an indelible part of the small town of GOLD HILL. Going up or down Sunshine canyon without paying even the briefest of visits is a missed opportunity.

    Such an amazing place! Eclectic doesn't begin to describe this 100+ year old establishment. We've been here twice so far and will absolutely come back. This is a true general store, carrying staples for the locals, prepared meals and a full bar. Stopping here is a must for anyone visiting Gold Hill. Be sure to visit the back patio!

    After a snowshoe stroll in Sunshine Canyon at Bald Mountain, we needed lunch and rather than return down to Boulder, we continued up the canyon to Gold Hill. I rarely go up to Gold Hill in the winter. I am a big fan of the town's primary summer eatery so I usually am having dinner there. But the General Store has a nice cafe in addition to general supplies for purchase by locals and visitors alike. It is a popular destination for cyclists doing the steep ride in the summer, as two in our party have done before. But I am not capable of such a ride. We were the only customers on this post holiday, very cold, day. The staff of one, was super friendly and helpful, and she heated up our selections. They were quite tasty. Among us, we were served some chicken green chile, a slice of quiche and a slice of chicken pot pie. I had the chili, and though a soup consistency, was very tasty. This and the other selections were enjoyed by the rest of the party as were the herbal teas and bhakti chai with almond milk. Yes, it is that kind of place. We sat by the wood stove, the only source of heat, which was finally revved up by the time our food came. We had gotten there just after opening so the place was still a bit chilly. Very quaint place and it can be very busy in the summer though only one other customer, a local, came in while we there.

    Interesting little store. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. We stumbled across this store when we were driving up in the mountains in Boulder. This little store is heated by an old school wood heater and there are little odds and ends that can be purchased here. We noticed there were some homemade pies that looked inviting. We tried two beers we've never heard before and just sat by the fire. This is a good place to stop in while up in the mountains.

    Friday night pizza & beer @ Gold Hill pub

    So....this is not really a general store. They recently changed their sign to read "pub" instead of "store," and you can indeed buy a beer during the few hours they are open. They have a coffee menu too. You really can't buy anything useful here (NO toothpaste, snacks, asprin etc), just locally-made tea and jade jewelry. It's old, dusty, cluttered and it's been for sale for as long as anyone can remember, asking more than anyone is willing to pay for this tiny old dusty spot. There's a neat old wood-burning stove that serves as the heater (it's a very old building) and the mismatched tables, benches and chairs seem as old as the town itself. I was a little scared to check out the bathrooms, honestly. It's kinda neat to stop in for a beer if in the mountains, passing by and see that they're open, and they do have live music sometimes. They started doing a Pizza Night on Fridays but it seems that they kinda stopped, which is okay because the pizza was cooked who-knows-when then just sitting out on the counter (though they kindly offer to microwave it for you.) Just don't expect this to be a store, or a pub. It's not really much of anything right now. Maybe someone will buy it for too much money and turn it into something cool in this sleepy little mountain town....

    Snow isn't a problem.

    Meadow Mountain Cafe - Omelet and Pancakes

    Stopped in here for a pre-hike breakfast. Very indescript so keep your eyes open, or you'll miss…read moreit! However, once you find this place, you'll find the outside is nice and quaint, like going to Grandma's house for breakfast. The interior is small but nice, and decorated all over with little nicknacks. Everything is clean, including the bathroom. The people inside are all small town nice chatty folk, customers and staff alike. Don't let the older waitress scare ya, she looks mean, but she's actually very nice. The food: It doesn't seem like a lot at first, but what you get is actually plenty of food for the price. We filled up with just a basic plate of omelet and pancakes and some coffee. I will say that the pancakes are pretty dense, they could definitely use some fluffing, but everything has good flavor, including the coffee! I would definitely go back if I were back in the area for another hike.

    I've been here twice now when visiting and you just can't beat the charm and the "off the beaten…read morepath" vibes here. You truly feel like you've walked into a friendly neighbor's home and they've decided to cook for you....next to a fire...at their dining table. It's so cozy. I've just had breakfast here so far. It's fresh and home cooked tasting. My sister and other family members rave about the huevos rancheros. We also always rave about their coffee...they add a touch of cinnamon to it. It's so good and just something different to enjoy. Our service this time could have been a bit better...perhaps our server was new, as my sister said she doesn't typically have that experience. If you find yourself coming through or near Allenspark, don't miss this true one of a kind experience.
