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. \n\nI 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.\n\nThe pumpkin pie was absolutely delicious.\n\nGold Bar also serves non-coffee drinks including teas, chai, and decadent hot chocolate also available in a refreshing iced format."^^ . .
