As a longtime customer of the former Camille's Sidewalk Cafe, I was disappointed with my recent…read morevisit to Midori Cafe. The new name and gray exterior have taken away much of the warm, welcoming charm the restaurant once had. I almost didn't stop because I thought it was an entirely different business. While the menu and interior are mostly unchanged, some of the quality seems to have declined. The delicious sweet salsa they once served has been replaced with something resembling cheap, store-bought picante sauce. The soda selection was unusual, and the drink I ordered tasted unpleasant. The cheese pizza was delicious, but at nearly $15 for a pizza slightly larger than personal size, the pricing is difficult to justify. Unfortunately, the high prices remain while much of what made Camille's enjoyable seems to have disappeared. I don't anticipate returning.

It isn't every day you discover a gem in the middle of the desert, but Oasis is precisely…read morethat--both literally and figuratively. On my drive home, I kept searching for a decent place to eat. Navigation, Waze, and Google Maps offered plenty of options, but nothing hit the mark; I either passed the exits or found the top-rated spots uninviting. I wasn't starving, but I wanted to grab a bite so I could drive for hours uninterrupted. I parked out front. There weren't many customers, though given the time of day, that made sense. Walking in, past political and cultural cues that felt deeply familiar, the first thing I noticed was how spotless the place was. Salwa greeted me with a genuine, calming smile and invited me to sit anywhere. Other tables were occupied by people from all walks of life, all enjoying their meals. She suggested the lamb, but despite growing up with lamb as my main red meat, I've recently developed a sensitivity to its gamey aroma. Instead, I picked an appetizer and a main dish. The appetizer arrived in a generous portion meant for two or three people. With every bite, I told myself, Just pack it for the hotel, but I simply couldn't stop eating. The texture and flavor were unbelievable. Then came the main dish--beautifully prepared and so delicious I had to finish it, even if it meant risking a food coma behind the wheel. The fresh bread, which I hadn't even ordered, was equally impossible to resist. The food carried a comforting, homemade quality reminiscent of my wife's, my mother's, or my late grandmothers' cooking, despite coming from an entirely different culinary tradition. Salwa and I chatted throughout my meal. Her calm, hopeful, and positive spirit gave me far more energy than the food itself. When I learned she was out of her signature desert, I decided against ordering another sweet, not wanting to risk anything that wasn't made by her hands. I jokingly asked why she was here instead of San Diego, but in truth, I'm glad she isn't. If she were near me, I'd be there every single day like a hungry wolf, destroying my health markers--though I'd die one of the happiest people alive, having eaten the most delicious food imaginable. As it turned out, the meal was balanced, light, and made with pristine ingredients. I mentioned how perfect the grilled tomatoes and onions were in texture, taste, and presentation, and she shared that she buys them fresh every morning from a local market. I used to think Base Camp at Everest, Patagonia, and Machu Picchu were the only items on my bucket list. Oasis is now the fourth--and by far the most accessible. Thank you, Salwa. You and your restaurant are true jewels in the rough.

Everything was delicious. My friend had a schwarma sandwich in pita, which she enjoyed. For dessert, the baklava was not homemade but they had 2 kinds of imported, and we tried both. They were tasty, though not crispy. The Turkish coffee was strong snd hot, not too spiced. Definitely eat here if local, and skip the chains!

It was early evening so I looked on Yelp for dinner spots and we had made stops here before, Keith was tired and just wanted quick and easy so we went to Cracker Barrel. And I told him after dinner we would be having a yummy fritter and maybe a donut or two! We headed that way and the building is pretty small, looks like it used to be something like a Tasty Freeze maybe. When you open the door, the sweetness just flows out to you! There were a couple of racks of fresh donuts and cookies that were cooling. There were lots of freshly baked bread they use for the sandwich shop. We ended up getting an eclair, a chocolate twist, a donut and the fritter, and you can't have donuts without milks! We only paid $13 for everything, which was well worth it. They aren't open 24/7 right now, but we were talking with the owner and he said he comes in about 2 o'clock to start making bread for the sandwich shop. We told him we were going to be on the road at 3 and the cinnamon rolls looked fantastic. He wanted us to stop by and knock on the door so he could let us in! I was only able to take one photo, but everything was over the top! If you are anywhere within 50 miles of this Route 66 gem stone, you have to run by! You'll be glad you did!

But overall a doughnut that if passing through, I would stop by and get again.

I love that this shop is located in the heart of Downtown Gallup. Gallup Coffee Company is surrounded by mural, art galleries and a movie theatre. There is plenty of free parking on the side of the road. Gallup Coffee Company roasts their own beans. You can buy their bags of their coffee beans at the café and online. In addition to their coffee menu, they sell bagels, muffins and pastries. The shop itself is actually very spacious with a few spaces to hang out in. They have some comfy couches out in the front of the shop and enjoy people watching through the windows. Service has always been great for us here. We usually get the same barista and he has always been awesome. We are basic latte and cappuccino type of people. We love the coffee drinks and community here and will always make a stop here if we are in the area.

Saw a guy eating a sopapilla outside said it was good and there were several people outside waiting so we were like ok it's gonna be good. Ordered the Sopapilia covered in red sauce because it was a popular choice. Sadly, I was disappointed. I think it would have been good by itself no sauce. Just a sopapilla by itself. In sauce was too much. The red sauce did not taste homemade. If it is I'm sorry but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The kids drummettes were fried and tasty. Other than that it was just another diner. We did meet others who said they frequent but knowing true Mexican food, it's a no go for me. Service was ok. Ambiance Diner feel. We met a guy who said there was a cafe town the road that he preferred I don't remember the name but at least I know I'm not the only one who did not enjoy it. He was also from Cali so there you go.
