Golden Goods Sandwich and Bake Shop

We first discovered this place and their amazing buns at the Portland Vegan Night Market, so we knew this would be an important stop when we visited Hood River in August! We went to Golden Goods multiple times on our Hood River trip and LOVED everything we tried. Their tempeh is particularly special, and of course the sweet buns cannot be missed. The people working there were incredibly nice.

Went in there for a chai latte and some bakery items and everything looks so good and tasted so good. We’ve ordered lunch and dinner too! Super friendly service and everything was just wonderful.

I guess this happens when you’re the only vegan game in town! We had the mushroom po’boy and the tofu banh mi. The po’boy had a nice sauce, but was otherwise not great: the mushrooms were very difficult to bite through and were coated in a hard, thick breading. The whole sandwich felt terribly dense. The banh mi wasn’t too much better; it just tasted like soy sauce, no fermented flavor from the do chua, no cilantro, and the cucumber was limp rather than crisp. The best part was the house made potato chips, which were thin and crisp without being too oily.

Man do they stuff those buns full of filling! I didn’t notice that breakfast was over so I had to quickly pick a lunch option. The kids all got the T Blat and loved it. I’d almost rather they just serve on regular bread. It was really messy and hard to eat. Huge portions though. You could easily share in a pinch.

Both Korean jackfruit and tofu sandwiches were delicious. The pastries were delicious as well. We had the danish, cinnamon roll, and chocolate chip cookie. Food was so good we took some to go. 

My family and I were visiting the area and we went to Golden Goods twice because they had the best vegan food! First time was lunch and we got the B.L.A.T. with tempeh what was marinated and fried to perfection, and a really delicious bahn mi with tofu. Second time we got the biscuit breakfast sandwiches with the same tempeh and they were spectacular as well- perfect biscuits, not too thick or crumbly, and the seasoned potatoes in the sandwiches were a surprise star. Staff was friendly and helpful and if I am ever in the area again I will be visiting! Also their pastry case had tons of tasty options.

Oh baby the tofu slab was thick in this bahn mi! Oh that fresh veg topping! Lots to love

I stopped by after seeing the amazing reviews and I now understand the 5 star rating! The girls at the counter were very nice, the space is sooo cute and the overall vibe is positive and easy going. I ordered their monthly special - chipotle wrap - to go, and WOW… I know it’s just a wrap but it was one of the best wraps I’ve had in a while! Definitely my new go-to spot in HR! Check it out!!

KILLER. Stopped by here just hoping to get an espresso on my road trip and my mind was blown — vegan danishes, what?? The most gorgeous baked goods I’ve ever seen, vegan or not. The sandwiches sounded delightful so I had to try one. Rarely does something come out looking and tasting even better than the description; this one did. Another pleasant surprise. They seem to really care about what they do and do not cut any corners. The ingredients are quality, down to the greens they used for the sandwich. Service was super friendly and thoughtful too. Just not a negative thing to say about this perfect little gem.

Not sure what was better the food or staff. Even my non vegan friends thought the food was amazing. 10/10 would recommend if you are in the neighborhood
