I loved the atmosphere and vibes in this coffee shop/store. We stopped there on our way to get a quick coffee, but I couldn’t stop myself from exploring everything there.

Good coffee by the way.

This cafe could be 5 stars if staff were more communicative and were more friendly to guests. I asked staff for a side of blueberries. She said yes. I never got them so finally figured out I should go out front to order and pay for them. She couldn't tell me that? The syrup was refrigerator cold. Warm or at least room temperature would go a long way in making the French toast really good! I wish they had offered me the option of blueberries with the French toast giving me the option of saying yes or no. This cafe could be five stars if staff were just given some training and share these reviews with them to know what guests expect so they are meeting or exceeding our expectations. You might even sell a lot more blueberries! : )

We loved the outdoor seating on the porch under the lovely elm trees!

We enjoyed the avocado toast - very simple but very good!

Great cafe with lots of options, fresh food and a lovely atmosphere. I wish they were open for dinner, too because the options are so limited in Monticello. The art and gift shop is a nice addition.

We loved the High Desert Cafe! The colorful, positive atmosphere was fun, the food was delicious and the conversation with other diners was a natural result of the inviting energy of the place. Will be back the next time we’re making our way through the area!

Restaurant, coffee shop, and unique jewelry shop all in one decorative place. Surprise!

Very cool vibes, I would give it 5 star if they had gluten free options! I would have eaten here. We did a smoothie and chai latte that was great. Plenty of food options for everyone else.

Great quick breakfast, veg omelet was great and coffee decent. Potatoes not what we are used to in the great NE home-fry world but they sufficed, we'd go back.

Three Egg Omelet was really really good and super fresh. Coffee self serve was a little on the strong side but couldn't have been fresher. This little restaurant is definitely worth the stop. They have some beautiful jewelry for sale too. Next time through we'll definitely stop.

We stopped by this charming café, after two nights of backpacking at canyonlands NP. At the time of our arrival, around 12:30 PM, there didn’t seem to be very many people there, but by the time we were ready to leave almost every table was full.

We ordered the Diablo Burger and split it. We both came out of the meal, feeling full (but not stuffed). It was even more remarkable that the burger it was delicious, juicy, and buttery (the bun). I would come back here if I was in the area.

While the outdoor area and bathroom are wheelchair friendly, the main seating area requires stairs. The bathroom even has pull bars.
