Cafes in Escalante

“This place has very delicious breakfast. I particularly liked the banana/pecan pancakes and monte cristos. The kids loved the adventure plate and three egg omelettes. The service was great to compliment the great food. Kudos to the chef and Amy.“

“I ordered the BLT and my partner ordered the Spicy Chicken sandwich and there was SO MUCH FOOD. They were stuffed to the brim and so tasty and the bacon wasnt undercooked. Also phenomenal service. Seriously would recommend ten times over coming back 🌟“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kiva Koffeehouse – Escalante, UT During a 16-day road trip through the Wild West, I made it a personal mission to try a new coffee spot every day. Out of all 16, Kiva Koffeehouse stood out as my absolute favorite — and honestly, it might be one of the most memorable café experiences I’ve ever had. Perched above a scenic canyon along Utah’s Highway 12, this place is more than just a coffee stop — it’s an experience. The views are breathtaking, the architecture is stunning, and the staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. You instantly feel like you’ve discovered something special. I stopped in before a day at Capitol Reef and Canyonlands National Parks, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, the baked goods were fresh, and everything came with a smile. The pace is calm and peaceful — a welcome change from the rush of the road. Note: Kiva Koffeehouse is only open from April to October, so plan ahead. Trust me — it’s worth timing your route around it. If you’re road-tripping through southern Utah, do not miss this spot. It’s a rare mix of great coffee, friendly people, and awe-inspiring surroundings.“
