Gold Roast Coffee Comes to the Heights
Another super-unique coffee shop joins the café ranks in the Heights, this one moving from its’ previous location in Hoboken. Gold Roast Cafe is an Australian-inspired spot with delightful food and drink from other parts of the Globe as well.
The café’s menu offers traditional Australian savory pies like the Sausage Roll, Shepherds Pie, Meat pie and even a vegetarian option (the Balti Pie). Be sure to also check out the Argentine-style empanadas (meaning they are baked, not fried) that are made fresh nightly by the owner. There are two options – a vegan mushroom empanada and a chicken-chipotle one. They were both moist, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Just order 2-3 if you are hungry as they run on the smaller side. On the sweet end of things, the lovely barista introduced us to a pair of beautiful looking donuts on the counter (is it just us or are doughnuts having a total moment?). The Indian-style Gulab Jamun and the Rose-Pistachio donut were both packed with flavor and super-sweet, best with a strong coffee like the flat white we ordered. More on the coffee – The Ethiopian coffee is from Offshore Roasters, and the specialty lattes include flavors like turmeric and maple walnut. Muffins and croissants are also available, along with vegan sweets that include a coconut-flavored donut and a spiced chai tea cake.
Gold Roast Cafe is open weekdays from 7:30am to 4pm and weekends from 8am to 4pm. Order in advance for pickup here https://goldroastcafe.square.site/?location=11eadba30cffceb795c3ac1f6bbba82c#6 and follow them @goldroastcafe for more updates. Enjoy!
