    Austin's Chuckwagon Motel & General Store - Chocolate Croissant

    We stayed at Austin's Chuckwagon Motel for a night while exploring Capitol Reef in one of the…read moreretro-Queen rooms above the store. This is a room that isn't advertised in 3rd party sites and has to be booked on the property website only - it's something like 50% cheaper than the rooms in the hotel. The room comes with unlimited tea, coffee, and hot chocolate from the General Store/Cafe. We were a bit confused with how it worked since other customers have to pay for drinks, but the clerk assured us we could go whenever to get drinks (which we did multiple times!) While we checked in too late in the day to eat at the deli and left too early in the morning for Chuckwagon's famous lunch boxes, we did hit it up in the morning for breakfast pastries, which according to the cashier are all baked in house (and why we were attracted to them in the first place). We were having trouble deciding between the Kouign Amann and the Chocolate Croissant, eventually deciding on the former, but the cashier tossed us the latter for free! What great service! Chocolate Croissant (Complementary, normally $6) - This is a gorgeous looking croissant, golden brown with a drizzle of sweet chocolate on top, still soft and gooey thanks to being fresh from the oven. It's baked hard, so croissant shards fly everywhere while eating. I'd say it's baked a tad too long, so while extremely flaky, the interior isn't quite as chewy as I'd like. The lamination does look quite good from what I can tell after having some difficulty slicing through with a plastic knife. As is traditional, two chocolate batons are baked inside. (5/5) Kouign Amann w/ Cream ($6) - Again, this pastry has a really hard bake, so almost the entire thing shatters easily, except for the stellar caramelized sugar layer covering the bottom. It's hardened, sticky, and sweet with a great crunch factor. The interior is actually correct for a Kouign Amann, which is really surprising for a small-town bakery. It's not laminated nearly as much as the croissant, and instead seems to be a nice enriched brioche interior, albeit not particularly airy and soft in texture due to the bake. There's a really tangy and somewhat sweet cream cheese frosting that's piped into the center. I'd actually prefer the pastry without this extra flourish, but beggars can't be choosers! (5/5) Both pastries are more of a 4.5/5 due to the bake, but the ingredients and technique (other than bake) seem to be well thought out. We were not expecting much from these baked goods given that the Chuckwagon Deli isn't exactly a specialty bakery, but in the end we were extremely surprised by the quality. I'll definitely be revisiting if I'm ever in town again.

    The motel room was basic but clean which served our purpose as we drove through the national parks…read more The typical amenities were provided. Guests of the motel gets free coffee, tea, or hot chocolate from the general store which is open early til late, 10pm I believe. We ate at the deli for breakfast. I was looking forward to the quiche based on what I saw on the Yelp pictures but I guess the menu has changed. They only offer breakfast sandwiches now but it's made to order so we got to choose type of eggs and proteins. It did take a bit a time for them to make it so factor that in when planning your visit. The sandwiches were ~$12 each but were pretty filling so perfect for another day of hiking.

    Well needed a break coming out the Rocky Mountains westbound and found this fun place to get…read moreabducted or alienated.... LOL! I think the only man cashier working was already taken because he wasn't the friendliest nor personable guy. But I'm still giving the place 5 stars because I found it a fun, cool spot. It basically looks like the skin walkers, aliens and Sasquatch all could be possibly living in the basement of this fun snack shop. I seen people getting fuel and using the restrooms so it's a great place to take a break from driving in the middle of no where. This cool store has all different kinds of beef jerky including Prime rib, cowboy, rabbit, duck, alligator, kangaroo and a lot of other exotic animals. They also carry the Instagram famous "The Original Bag of Poo" cotton candy selection. Flamingo, Unicorn, Sasquatch, Alien Dragon types of Poo. They also have a lot of cool snacks, chips and cookies that have been made in other counties with American logos with Asian writing such as Oreo, Cheetos, Doritos and Lays. I also bought some Sour cream and Onion puffs snacks that has the Chester Cheeto cat representing Cheetos brand from Asia that were delicious as chips can be. The store is a bit pricey and a total tourist trap, but I find them all over country and I knew what I signed up for. And the good news is that I'll come back to this place because I didn't get kidnapped by the aliens today!

    This place is in the middle of nowhere but it is worth planning a stop. They had so many great…read moresnacks; so many options of jerky and freeze dried candies. I wished I had bought more by the time I got home. The decor is very unique and worth seeing. This is not the place to go if you only like cookie cutter and high-end options because this place defines unique.
