"If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. Golden Temple is hands down my favorite place in the whole world — and that’s not an exaggeration. We don’t even live in Birmingham, but every single time we’re anywhere near this city, we make it a point to stop here. It’s become a sacred ritual in our travels — like visiting a dear old friend who always lifts our spirits. The store itself is pure magic. There’s something about the energy when you walk in — warm, welcoming, vibrant. It’s a rare gem that feels more like an experience than just a place to shop. The clothing is absolutely beautiful — stylish, soulful, and totally unique. It’s my favorite spot to shop for clothes and find meaningful, one-of-a-kind gifts for loved ones (and let’s be honest, for myself too!). They also carry an incredible range of high-quality supplements and wellness products — literally everything I could ever want, all in one place. I always feel like my mind, body, and soul get a little boost just walking through the aisles. And don’t even get me started on the café. The food is not just healthy — it’s delicious. Nourishing, vibrant, and clearly made with care. You leave feeling full, but also energized and light. And the staff? Genuinely some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. You can feel their joy and authenticity — it makes the whole experience even more special. Golden Temple is more than a store or a café. It’s a haven. A heart-centered, beautifully curated space that reminds you how good life can feel when you surround yourself with the right energy, the right people, and the right nourishment. If you’re ever in or near Birmingham, GO. You won’t regret it. You might even find yourself making special trips, just like we do. 💛"

"This place used to be a staple of mine when I was a teenager! It is comforting to know that some things never change, even if it has only been 20 years😅. Nostalgia rushed through me as I walked down the tea aisle, glancing over the hand written labels that add to the overall charm of the place. Tears welled up in my eyes because I could not help but smile knowing this is where a 16 year old me once stood, pondering what it would be like to be an herbalist when I "grew up", and drank the best (and only) tumeric latte I ever had. This time I decided on the Golden Temple Sandwich with both mushrooms and olives- it makes the texture that much better and hummus with peppermint tea. I cannot wait to go back already."

"This makes me so sad to write, I was beyond excited to come here so much so I walked 20 minutes from the Publix parking garage! They had a huge array of everything you could ever want at a spiritual store and the prices were actually reasonable! Unfortunately me officially marking it as my new favorite store was ruined. The lady at the register was short with her words and had an attitude towards me. I assumed she was just having a bad day but when I stepped one step to the right so my daughter could buy her stuff, the lady was INCREDIBLY sweet towards her! At first I felt like I had just imagined it but then as we left my daughter whispered “Why was she so agitated with you? She seemed like she didn’t like you at all.” For a place that has such amazing energy, I’m so upset this is how customers are treated."

"Lovely & long-standing health food store / Cafe, offers yoga and other community activities"

"I get the purple sea moss and clean it, and make it into a gel. I use it daily as a preventative. I had a cold, and I took it twice daily for 4 days. A lot of mucus expelled out.. and I felt so much better."
