Golden West Cafe

I've found my eternal happy place. Hip vibe; strong (fair trade ) coffee ; and veggie patties that won't leave you asking "Where's the beef ?!" Not to mention their cocktails - try the Killer Bee.

Take the plunge and Get the burger with apple and Brie on it...it's amazing! Even the pickiest of eaters will love it :)

Coffee could be better, or maybe their normal barista doesn't work at night! :) nice and friendly staff ! Plus amazing vegetarian food !

chilli cheese fries and the BBQ BURGER and the Pittsburgh (not a fan of the team) steak salad all were delicious

Spectacular breakfast burrito w green chile sauce , aztec burrito christmas style, or breakfast polenta with carne adovada . Classic New Mexican. Good beer on tap . Can get quite crowded - try the bar .

Baltimore's Best Bars 2013: This Hampden bar bursts with character and personality unique to itself. Those in the mood for a beer and a massive burrito should visit immediately.http://bsun.md/1bhnIcU

If it’s not on the menu , ask for the Pee Paw’s Wake Up Juice . It’s a simple breakfast cocktail but it just might change your life.

Incredible brunch ...the whole place has this blue collar hipster feel. The staff are attentive and know the menu which is a great menu. Their spin on Mexican food is awesome and try that bloody Mary !

zucchini Brie pancakes .. so good! :) one will fill you up, but two seems like a charm (and doable). the sweetpotato fries and tatter tots are must appetizer to share.

Vegan tacos are so amazing we didn't even have time to take a photo before they were gone.

Baltimore's Best Bars 2012: You will find "excellent bands playing on a consistent basis at this Hampden bar-meets-music venue," as well as a "surprisingly well-stocked bar ." http://bsun.md/XyYupk

A funky, unique venue for food and entertainment! Golden West cares about the environment, too. Not only do they run on 100% clean power -- patrons that switch get a $35 gift card! Read more

Best green chile I've had on the east coast.

Vegan French Toast special with strawberries

Had excellent service on Halloween (Wednesday night). Excellent food too: tots app (huge, great sauces), BBQ burger (tangy !) w/ sesame noodles , carne enchiladas .

Had breakfast here yesterday. The corn cake/bean breakfast dish was great and the pancake was huge (and thick and filling). I also recommend the tater tots .

Amazing seasonal beer selection , awesome wait staff , and the best brussel sprouts , breakfast quesadilla , and cupcakes around. Check out the weekend specials , too!

An excellent, varied menu and great beer selection . They even have a take out window. Very cool!

Oh god, that breakfast polenta melted my face with its goodness.

I actually like it here the food is good and they have a good beer selection !!

It's New Mexican, not Mexican, and it's very authentic , (esp. the huevos rancheros and the Frito Pie ), even if the green chile isn't hot enough. Hopi Cakes are spot on too.

Special food and polite staff . i have nothing to complain about them

Huge portions . Delicious biscuits and gravy . Service was slow but it seemed to be the only spot open on MLK day.

The Drew special is incredibly flavorful. And then you get virtue points for ordering a vegan brunch !

Known best for their “frito pie ” this eclectic joint is a great place to run into Baltimore regulars. Read more

Service can be slow, so if you go for breakfast , it's best to arrive before 10 am. The blueberry pancakes are wonderful. (Also be aware this place is not cell phone-friendly!)

If you go to Golden West and opt out from getting the Brussels sprouts you're making a huge mistake. They will change your life.

Get the Skirt Steak with Brussel Sprouts ... it was pretty amazing and an item I had overlooked on the menu many times. It's going to be new go-to order.

Baltimore's best breakfast on a weekend morning. If you dig blue corn (I'm a blue corn addict), try the Hopi cakes . Just do it! You'll thank me. Read more

The chicken fajitas are amazing!

Get the tots . You will not be disappointed. Also, the Pittsburgh steak salad is fantastic, even though it's named after a most unfortunate city .

You must above all things get the green chile on a burrito ... By far the best thing uhh ever!

Chorizo burrito , Giddy Up omelette , or zucchini brie pancake . Order! Order now! And don't forget the tots .

The Mental Oriental with peanut sauce and fried tofu is the type of salad you dream about. That is, if you happen to dream about salads .

Very eclectic and good. Local gem.

Loved the Brussels sprouts , tots , and polenta . ¡Las carnitas son caliente!

Great food, grest service, great atmosphere. A bit of a hipster hideout, haha.

A Hamden staple. A little dusty around the edges, but we'll call that charm.

Breakfast quesadilla is always on point. Great burgers , too.

The frito pie is a perfect little taste of the Southwest.

The black bean burger is phenomenal! Get it with sweet potato fries !

The food is great, but be prepared to wait a long time for your food. I recommend calling ahead and getting the food to go, it's much faster and you don't have to worry about it coming out cold.

The zucchini and Brie pancakes are amazing. Trust me on this one!

Love their brunch !! Mushroom Gravy is a must have.

Stumbled across this great vegetarian brunch joint in Hampden. Definitely recommended.

Best brunch in Hampden. Get the breakfast polenta .

Busy on the weekends, but if you get here before 10 you'll get a table right away.

The vegetarian biscuits and gravy are AMAZING. Only on Saturday and Sunday though :(
