I love discovering places like this. We were passing through Monticello on our way to Moab. I had…read morejust got a speeding ticket and wanted to get out of the car and enjoy a coffee beverage somewhere. High Desert Cafe looked inviting, so we made a stop here. This place is pretty cool. The outside of the building is very colorful. High Desert Cafe is a coffee shop, gift shop and diner all in one building. We first checked out the gift shop area before getting our coffee. They have a number of shirts, blankets, jewelry, local stones and art for sale. High Desert Cafe has two separate counters - one for coffee and tea drinks and the other one for food. The food menu has a variety of sandwiches, burgers, salads, breakfast items, smoothies and ice cream. It was early, so we ordered breakfast burritos and coffee on it. The kitchen staff was nice and chatted with us while they cooked our food. There is a small dining area where you can eat your meal when it is ready. High Desert Cafe is a nice hidden gem to stop by if you are passing through Monticello.

I really liked this little cafe in Monticello! I was staying in an airbnb out here so I dropped by…read morethis spot in the morning while on a road trip to get breakfast. They had all the basic breakfast items, things like omelettes and pancakes, etc. They had a decent list of drinks too, and even though it wasn't on the menu they did make me a lavender london fog since they had the ingredients for it. The food was very filling and I left happy! The inside gives off a diner vibe, but slightly more upscale/indie? And they sell some independent products (e.g. lip balm, recipe books, etc.). Bathroom was pretty decent too, but there's only one stall so note that you may have to wait if a few folks are also dining there (was pretty quiet the random weekday morning I cam though). Plenty of free street parking available outside too. Overall it's a cute little spot for brunch if you're passing through Monticello.

It is $8 for the food bowls, super healthy, super convenient, and keeps my kitchen mess and stress free. My only mild complaint is occasionally when I find something I love (whipped beef tallow and Ryze mushroom coffee) they tend to sell out, and I go on a waiting list for restock. I had also asked about Mango butter, which they did not have but said they were happy to order it for me. Also, you can MAKE your own peanut butter on demand. They have whole peanuts that when you press the button, the machine grinds it for you. The thought put into this place was well done. I am an extremely happy customer- everyone in there is super helpful and friendly.

The toppings, the flavours, the employees and the machines were all excellent. I was unsure of how to use the machine at first, but the store employee explained excellently. There was a great variety of flavours ranging from choclatey to fruits flavours and summer themes such as coconut and tropical smoothie. Then there was toppings. A great mixture, including M&Ms, boba, and fruit. Then the employee weighed the pot to decide the price. The prices were actually very reasonable considering everything you got! Thank you and I definitely recommend visiting. And I have just started following them on Pinterest and it definitely makes me hungry! Bye!!!

The yogurt itself was…read moretasty and definitely hit that nostalgic vibe, and the staff working there were really friendly and welcoming. The location right on the main road makes it super easy to find and pop into, which is a plus. That said, it was a little on the pricey side for what you get. Nothing about it really stood out as amazing, but it was still good and enjoyable. Not a must-visit spot, but definitely not a bad choice if you're in the mood for something sweet.

Do NOT get any pork dish here. The server informed me they mainly serve beef or chicken - which…read moremeans the pork stays in the freezer much longer. I got the pork pad thai and it was below average. The pork tasted stale, rancid, and gamey. The dish noodles themselves were just ok. Ambiance was calm, servers were sweet. They only had one chef, didn't have sushi and a number of other dishes when I went in on a Friday afternoon, though. Not sure if it was poor timing or if it is usually like that. Bottom line: This may be a historically local favorite, but it is certainly not up to par with other places. Apparently the quality has gone down over the last couple years, unsure what changed. If you're visiting from out of town and are craving Thai food, go to Arches Thai in Moab, UT - WAY better food for similar price. It is worth the extra drive, trust me.
