3 Coffees from Golden Apple
Item Purchased: 3 Coffees from Golden Apple
Location Purchased: Golden Apple Restaurant / 2971 N. Lincoln / Chicago, IL
Price: $4.20 ($1.40/ea.) + tax
Review: The Golden Apple is everything you could expect and/or want from a 24-hour diner and then some. They have a robust menu, serve breakfast all day, are crammed with regulars and other nighthawks throughout the day and they even serve beer and wine. The waitstaff is friendly and typically at each other's throat, dancing that line between venting frustration and wearing a happy face for the customer. Though a bit out of my way, the Golden Apple is one of those diners to remember. It was even profiled on Chicago Public Radio's This American Life.
As for the coffee, Golden Apple serves my oft-mentioned and favorite diner sludge, Superior Coffee. Its easy to wrap a conversation around itself several times after three or seven cups of this stuff. The Golden Apple isn't as quick to refill their small cups as I would like, but they were busy, so I will give them the benefit of a doubt. The price is typical of a dine-in coffee with unlimited refills.
