Get to know us!

We are a small business out of Northern Colorado, Johnstown, where we opened in February 2023! At Golden Goodness, we pride ourselves on bringing out GOOD EATS and EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. Using the best ingredients and partnering with local suppliers, our gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, divinely smoked meats, all-day breakfast, and seasonal items are guaranteed to impress! By supporting Golden Goodness, you also help create employment opportunities for people with disabilities and those needing a second chance. As a former Special Education teacher, I believe it is essential that we support early career education and vocational training for students with disabilities and others with employment barriers. We welcome community members with a passion for helping people to thrive to join our advisory committee where we build bridges and pathways for young adults to find meaningful career opportunities.
