    We were in need of coffee and saw this beacon on the horizon to satisfy our caffeinated cravings. The barista was by herself, with quite a bit of people wanting to order inside. I didn't see her break a sweat at all as she took on orders and making the drinks with friendly hospitality. She even patiently answered questions. The interior had a pretty decent space to get together and enjoy your coffee, but we opted ours for take out. Large sizes available and the coffee was just what we needed to continue on our road trip with some energy. Our dogs got to get some fresh air as well. The parking lot outside had plenty of room, including our truck and trailer. I'd bookmark this cute coffee shop for future trips to Utah.

    The outside looks modern and European!!

    Got stranded exploring national parks and stumbled across this gem of a find! The coffee is beyond anything you'd expect to find-- even recognized the espresso machine that's out of this world. The young staff might catch you with your guard down, but best believe they're more than capable of serving you a proper cup of espresso. I was recommended the sha-momo(?) their signature drink and was swept off my feet. This place doesn't play!! The coffee might even be worth a detour from any national park-- you should trust me cause I never leave yelp reviews to begin with.

    Driving through from Torrey UT and heading to Moab. Discovered this place along the journey. Super friendly and their large coffee is huge!!! Definitely woke me up. All their coffee shots are pulled through a legit espresso machine which tasted smooth. Definitely the place to go for a pick me up.

    The place is so cute and has the best coconut coffee - The Mowgli's. The best thing is the proprietress herself. Such a friendly and welcoming person . She even gave our Charlie a complementary puppacino

    Stopped here while on our way to Capitol reef np for a little pick me up & 100% worth it. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was one of the best latte's I've had. I love the vibe of the whole place and the barista's were super nice :)

    Mesa Farm Market - Delicious bread and 3 of the 4 goat cheeses we enjoyed!

    I just didn't expect an organic bakery, farm, and cheese shop to appear in the middle of Utah after…read moremiles and miles of desert, ghost towns, and a beef jerky shack. But Mesa Farm Market is exactly the sort of organic bakery you'd expect to find in this situation. The bread, coffee, and goat cheese we picked up were all excellent. They have both fresh and aged goat cheese, but we both preferred the fresh variety. The bread kept well for several days and was perfectly hearty with a nice chewy crust, while still soft on the inside. The atmosphere, however, was straight odd. The owner was there when we arrived working on some new goat cheese, but quickly disappeared when we walked in the small shop (which is also where they cook). In his place appeared a woman who my husband thought might be his mail order bride, but I can only guess must be WOOFing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). She spoke good, but hesitant, English and initially just stared at us, then seemed really distant. She was more pleasant after a few minutes of us making decisions about what to buy, but I don't think we ever got a smile out of her. She was also wearing a thick, wooly looking, turtleneck sweater in the desert in September. I'm not taking stars off because for all I know he has her captive there. I don't know. Like I said, it's a strange place.

    We sampled the cheeses, fresh bread, pesto and fresh brewed coffee. Everything was five star…read morequality, including the friendly owner and staff. Easy to pass without seeing the sign, it's well worth it to turn around and enjoy the incredible food.

    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.
