High Desert Cafe

Had breakfast here. Got too much really good food for too little money w really nice atmosphere. :) Uncommon value compared to most places we found in this area. Super nice vibe! Wishing continued success!

We ordered a take out: Cappuccino each and Sweet Cream Pancakes. Delicious!

They also have cute mugs, journals, jewelry, small bags, candles, body care items, etc.
They have inside and outside dining.

Definitely worth visiting!
100% recommend!

UPDATE:
We went back the same day for lunch!
We ordered diabolo burger (added bacon to it) with fries.
We also ordered Star Spangled Strawberry (my favorite) and Topical Fantasy.
The fries were INCREDIBLE! Honestly, one of the best fries ever!

UPDATE:

We returned a year later for breakfast again.
Ordered omelet with bacon on the side, buttermilk pancakes, eggs, sausage, along with some coffee.
Absolutely delicious!
Will return again!

The turkey panini was outstanding! Service was quick for lunch. My friend's chicken sandwich was also great. Yesterday we had the peach smoothie which was tasty. We came back for breakfast since he menu looks great, we could try something new every day.

Great priced charming spot. The young guys working handled the crowd of grumpy old tourists very graciously. Perfect way to start my morning after a night of camping

This place makes some good food and drinks. Definently a stop for me any time I come through here. The seating has some very nice options as well as great atmosphere. I also very much enjoyed service. The prices are also fair for the great food you get. Honestly probably best food in this town.

Great breakfast - super service. My wife and I discovered this delightful cafe while on vacation this year. My wife loves coffee, and at age 67 she has consumed a vast amount of coffee in her lifetime. SHE SAYS THE COFFEE HERE IS THE BEST COFFEE SHE HAS EVER HAS THE PLEASURE OF DRINKING. She was super disappointed when we stopped by on the morning of our last vacation day and found that they are closed on Tuesdays. Bottom line ----- STOP HERE if you get anywhere near MONTICELLO UTAH!

I'm presently part-way into their 3-egg, cheese, potato, and bacon burrito and it's savory, hand-crafted, and delicious! If you're passing through Monticello, Utah or perhaps staying overnight as I did, then definitely consider going to this Café for breakfast or lunch or use their take-out option for the road or trail.

Ordered Rise and Shine and Omelette. It was well cooked, well seasoned. We enjoyed our breakfast and started our onwards journey well fed. 😆.

Cute little shop and cafe. Some excellent recycled copper art from a local artisan, unique and beautiful. Breakfast sandwich was ok but needed a bit more pressing on the panini grill. Coffee was phenomenal.

I believe this is a perfect stop off en route north or south. The staff were quick to assist and get us moving down the road. My friends booming voice may have scared everyone when we walked in, so my apologies for being loud city boys. Regardless, it's an ample selection in a convenient location.

Low key place with amazing breakfast.
Both breakfast burrito and breakfast bagels were superb. Loved the Chiles and potatoes in the burrito.

The food was pretty good, I really liked the Egg Burrito with Ham, place was clean and organize, I will highly recommend it!

Thank you.

Great place! I had an egg & spinach bagel and double shot mocha…both tasted great! Seating inside and outside. Friendly staff.

Awesome little place in Monticello. Great breakfast options

Neat place! They have some items for sale inside (crafts/jewelry/art sort of thing), and then it's also a spot to grab a coffee or bite it eat (can take it to go or enjoy on site). There is a sign where you order food that states "No Wifi, No laptops. Reading and chitchat welcome" so if you're looking for a café to do some work while you're on the road, this isn't it. The food was good and it's a good place to enjoy a quiet moment alone, spend time with other people in your group, or even catch up on some reading.

Monticello has very few places to eat, and we were lucky enough to find this gem! Great food, outstanding customer service! It's definitely a place to try and enjoy!

We stopped here during a road trip from Albuquerque NM to Moab Utah. Such a good place to eat! The prices are very good for the amount of food you get. They do not skimp out on their portions. I got the pulled pork sandwiche on the way there and nachos with pulled pork on the way back. Both were really good, the pork had great flavor and they make fresh lemonade which was super refreshing. It was a nice day out so we sat out on the porch. Next time I go to Moab I'll be stopping here again.

This place was delicious! It was absolutely perfect for our drive from Moab to Monument Valley. My friend ordered a second portion as soon as he tasted his first, which tells you how good the food is here! We would definitely come back on our future adventures!

We had bagel sandwiches and yogurt parfit with fresh fruit. Everything was quite tasty and the staff was very friendly - if you're in the area this is a delightful place to eat. There was a lot of work by local artists to enjoy as well.

Stopped by for a mid-morning breakfast when traveling through. My wife ordered the traditional breakfast with eggs, sausage, and potatoes. I had the breakfast panini with bacon. Both were great. High quality ingredients, with very good flavor. (Potatoes had great southwest spice). Coffee was awesome. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.
