Review # 20 for 2025…read more For a cafe in the middle of nowhere at a National Park, this place was great and very reasonably priced!! It was a very pleasant surprise. We got to Great Basin early in the morning to try and get stand by tickets for the observatory tour and so we did not have time to get breakfast in the morning. We also had a cave tour that morning right after signing up for tickets. We did bring some food, but lunch meats type of lunch and I wanted to get some hot food for my baby boy as it was cold and raining on/off that day. They are open from 8am-5pm everyday. There was a good variety of food. I ended up getting the loaded breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were a bit overcooked but overall it tasted good. My baby sure loved it! It was topped with cheese and bacon and costs around $10. I also got an iced mocha and cold brew for the hubby. My husband liked his cold brew, I like my mocha a bit less sweet but it did the job for me. It does get really busy so expect a wait if it's busy as there is one person in the front and one in the back making the food. The lady taking my order was very nice and helpful. There are a handful of tables inside, as well as a handful of tables outside. There are also some park picnic tables if you walk around behind the building a bit. Would I come back here? If I was at Great Basin again I totally would! Other items I saw people ordered looked really good too!! The prices are very fair and I would definitely get some hot food here and not pack so much food next time around. I really wanted to try the chili!

What a pleasant surprise to finf such a cafe in a national park! Our past experience in nat'l park…read morefood service is mediocre at best. We tried the soup, curry vegetable red lentil, and the chili. Both were exceptional. The soup was well balanced and flavorful. The chili was chock full of smoked beef, well seasoned, tasted great with cheese and onions. We ate too fast for photos It was so good there was no question where we'd eat lunch on a second day. This time part of the group had the braut special. Apparently, made in Delta, UT, this braut was something else. Again, ate too fast for photos. It was topped with a dill slaw, a mild bbq sauce, and accompanied by fries. The caliber of the food was a surprise. The service was quick and friendly. If you're visiting Great Basin Nat'l Park, look no further for your lunch needs. This cafe won't disappoint.

Five stars for just existing in such a remote location. My server suggested that they had a prime rib dinner special that evening and I couldn't resist trying it. The food wasn't over the top in flavor and quality but was solid, flavorful and an unexpected treat. The prickly pear margarita wasn't my favorite but was certainly refreshing. I just like a little more tart taste in my cup o' tequila. The international crowd seemed to enjoy the outdoor dining ambiance while I, being solo, hung out and ate at the bar. The staff were friendly, maybe a little inefficient in their efforts, but all were helpful given time. I felt a little bad for the owner-chef, who seemed to be herding cats at times. Overall, I'm really glad I had dinner here in Baker rather than waiting to eat in Ely where I spent the night. I wish the owners and staff success and will be back when I'm in the area.

We were so pleased that this place has excellent food, as it's the only restaurant in the area! We…read moreate there for two dinners and one breakfast while visiting GBNP. The servers were next-level friendly and prompt despite the dinner rush, they have some fun art, and it's a peaceful place. I really loved the green beans, and another favorite item was the apricot sorbet. They make a ton of items, which is very cool. I only wish they had a few more dairy-free items (especially for breakfast), but what they do offer is far better than expected for this remote location- it would stand up in any metro area. My husband raved about the root beer float, pasta, and pizza. Dinner is sit-down and if you go for breakfast or lunch, it's counter service. They have an extremely well-stocked bar- we didn't partake, but many around us did, and drinks looked excellent.

It made it sweet but not too sweet. The coffee was just strong enough with being bitter. The best part was the atmosphere. Cute, with little green cafe chairs and soft sofas. You can tell they often have families come in because the bathroom had a little toilet seat you could add in the regular toilet for small people. A nice little touch that many places don't think of. I will definitely come back several times on my teip

This place opens early, which is great. I usually stumble out of the hotel in my pajamas and get over to this place for my morning coffee before tackling the day. They have a lot of drink and breakfast options. Employees are friendly enough. They have an app. If you come here more than once, make sure you download it and get a free drink and earn points towards future purchases. They also have specials that you can take advantage of. Sounds great. So why 3 stars? Well, my order has pretty much always been problematic. I am not really fussy and normally won't return once I`m back at my hotel and find something wrong with my order, but it is sort of a bummer. Twice I have had lattes with no vanilla syrup as ordered and I tried an avocado toast once and the bread was barely toasted, still cold, and overall the meal looked sad. I have sort of gotten used to subpar service and food in Ely, but I really wish that this place would try a bit more. When I`m the only one in the drive thru and it is early, it isn`t too much trouble to make sure my drink is right. I shall return, but only because I need my early coffee and this place is convenient.
