Goldstruck Coffee - Cumberland St.

Ritual

Goldstruck is Yorkville’s cozy caffeine cave, complete with exposed brick on the front wall, cushioned seating inside, and coffee that makes you forget you had anywhere else to be. The espresso is strong and smooth, the lattes are creamy without being heavy, and the cappuccinos land right in the sweet spot between bold and comforting. Add a croissant or cookie to your order, and suddenly that “quick coffee” break becomes an entire afternoon. The couches practically dare you to stay longer than planned, and somehow it always feels like the right choice. The atmosphere is warm, the baristas are welcoming, and the whole place hums with easy energy. Students type away on laptops, friends stretch out conversations, and solo drinkers nurse cappuccinos like it’s a hobby. Goldstruck is more than a stop; it’s one of Yorkville’s anchors, the café you recommend to anyone asking where they should grab a coffee in the neighborhood.
