Golden Temple
Golden Temple Natural Grocery and Cafe is a specialty grocery store and restaurant which sells natural and organic foods, vitamins, supplements, jewelry, gifts and clothing. The store's cafe and juice bar serves exclusively vegetarian dishes, with vegan and gluten-free options. The store also offers yoga classes and massage therapy.
The business was founded in 1973 in Homewood by Kundalini yoga instructors Harinam Singh Khalsa and Harinam Kaur Khalsa. It moved to its present location, in the Fred Jones building at 1901 11th Avenue South in Five Points South, in 1975.
In 1993 the store took over a former frame shop next door, allowing the cafe to expand its kitchen and seating area. The business grew again in 1997, increasing its retail boutique space.
