"During my visit to the Golden Temple Store, I was completely captivated by its charm and unique offerings. The first thing that caught my eye was their stunning collection of stone jewelry—each piece felt like a little work of art, full of natural beauty and mysticism. It’s perfect for anyone who loves meaningful accessories with a touch of elegance. The store also features a wonderfully curated selection of tarot cards, hand puppets, and intriguing books that cover everything from folklore to the occult. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with knowledgeable staff who make the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re searching for a place where every item feels special, the Golden Temple Store is a must-see. It’s truly a treasure trove of beauty and mystery!"
"I’m glad that this place exists in terms of food, but the service is pretty terrible. A couple examples: (1) They list teas on their menu. I asked the gal behind the cash register whether these were hot teas or iced teas because the menu didn’t indicate. Her response: blank stare. 😳 I don’t think this question was over-the-top. I just wanted to know. After a few moments of basically no response, I asked if it was possible to get the tea iced. She seemed unsure but then agreed. As she asked someone else to brew the tea and then put it over ice, she told that worker, “I’m so sorry…” (right in front of me) as though my order was an inconvenience. This was why I asked my question in the first place. I didn’t realize that ordering the tea iced would be a big deal. (2) Where customers pick up their drinks is not the same location where the food is picked up, but I didn’t realize this as a first-time visitor. So, when I heard my name being called, I went to the only place where I saw anybody pick up items: the drink pick-up. The employee looked at me when I approached that station. I said, “I think I heard my name, ‘Jessie’.” They said, “I don’t know you. I don’t know who you are.” Crazy rude. Like, of course you don’t know me, but I didn’t walk up here for no reason. I heard somebody call my name. I was mistaken to think that they were the person who called my name. My name was actually being called from the other side of the counter, where I couldn’t see that my food was sitting there. A simple mistake on my part, and that person was so incredibly rude. Bottom line: I’ll never go back. I don’t feel welcome. Kindness is not their forté."
"I’ve always come here for jewelry and incense and I’ve always enjoyed my time. Everyone is kind and the clothing section in the back is neat! I recently tried the restaurant for the first time and I wish I had tried it sooner. I got a tea and the Tomato Gnocchi soup and it tastes like Fall in a bowl I WILL be going back for more :) thank you guys for providing a place of such comfort!!!"
"Yes, it feels like a hippie store and yes that's why I like it. Friendly, welcoming, inclusive (unless you insist on animal carcasses), with great vegan food, and plenty of esoteric goods. I feel like I'm transported to an updated 70s. Not sure what it is but I received two of the best smiles of the year in only a few minutes talking to staff."
"For good. Service down hill. Coffee cold. Took too long to get another cup. Was finished with lunch. Told there were too many customers now lined up. I had even tipped."
