The Golden Nuts

Crema's Take
“This beloved Columbia Heights gem has mastered the art of slowing down, drawing regulars in daily with freshly made Middle Eastern pastries like knefeh and baklava alongside creative coffee drinks that smell incredible the moment you walk in. The genuinely warm staff create an atmosphere so welcoming that it naturally becomes a gathering spot for families and friends, where you'll find yourself lingering way longer than planned. Whether you're after their viral Dubai chocolate, traditional treats, or just a quiet place to sit and savor something special, The Golden Nuts feels less like a coffee shop and more like a treasured neighborhood gathering place.”

I come to Golden Nuts almost every day and it’s honestly a must for me. I usually tell myself I’ll just grab a small snack… but that never happens 😂. Everything smells amazing when you walk in. The staff are always super friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. Overall, it’s a 10/10 every time. Highly recommend! 😍😍
It was an amazing experience and time inside the golden nuts! The staff were so kind and helpful. Highly recommend! They have an assortment of snacking and eating treats. Dubai chocolate 🍫 i went especially for the viral fruit ice cream. So good.
Finally a place that makes decent Middle Eastern pastries! The knefeh and baklava are legit, freshly made. They got a wide selection of sweets plus drinks and ice cream. My recommendation is to get “halewet el jebn” if it’s available (they make it in small amount) and a plate of knefeh (ask for the kaake if it’s available).
Great place to hangout. The guys there are very friendly and from moment you walk in you can feel the welcoming atmosphere. Every single one of the people who work there smile and welcome you. Of course the variety of international things that they offer at the store are unique. They sell knafa and Dubai chocolate which are very popular items there. Of course the coffee shop inside is great also with a lot of items like the dessert and drinks that are unique to them.
I just discovered an amazing dessert shop nearby, and I can't recommend it enough! The desserts are incredibly delicious and bursting with flavor. The Dubai chocolate and cunafe are absolute must-try treats—they're simply divine! The staff there are exceptionally friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Plus, they have a cozy coffee shop inside where you can sit back, relax, and savor a perfect cup of coffee. Don't miss out on this delightful spot!
