Gold Bar Espresso is a cozy, locally owned and operated coffee spot. Its prior location in a retired bank vault (hence the name) was presumably much more charming than its current Valley-standard strip mall locale, but it makes up for it with friendly and helpful staff.
I spent the late afternoon reading in Gold Bar with excellent live accoustic guitar for background. This is a fine place to purchase and enjoy a Sunday New York Times.
The pumpkin pie was absolutely delicious.
Gold Bar also serves non-coffee drinks including teas, chai, and decadent hot chocolate also available in a refreshing iced format.
