Golden Shovel

I had dumplings and a latte. The latte was okay, but the dumpling was great. There are a few seats and tables available for dining indoor.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) Dropped in after a letdown at a ramen spot nearby, hoping to salvage the meal with some dumplings. Ordered the chicken & shrimp, came steamed by default, with no mention of frying options. Flavor was decent, portion was fine (10 pieces), but at nearly $19, I expected a bit more depth or uniqueness. Dipping sauces were standard, garnish was a lone pickle slice and some shredded cabbage, a bit random. Staff was efficient, space was clean, and the woman running the place sounded like she knew what she was doing: loud, fast, and all business. Solid, but not crave-worthy. Good in a pinch, but wouldn’t travel for it.

Wow! So happy after walking past this place over ten times I finally went in! I noticed on the weekends that it’s busy so I figured it’s a good sign..and I love dumplings and haven’t found very good ones in park slope so today I got 6 pork and shrimp to go. I was waiting for the bus and couldn’t possibly stop myself from eating them while I waited and YES! so delicious, tender, homemade with love and care, whole pieces of shrimp and juicy pork. Tasted super fresh, and worth the 10 minute wait. I’ll definitely be back!

Great local coffee shop with delicious food options. Don’t skip on the meat bun, it’s a great savory snack! Edited: some of the best dumplings ever too. You can’t miss them, they taste homemade and the flavors are perfect.

I found this place when looking for some coffee near my workplace, but found they had AMAZING buns and dumplings. The chicken, pork and veggie buns are always delicious and the dumplings are very juicy, flavorful and filling. The chilli crunch that comes with them is sooo good!
