As we were traveling to The Belly of the Dragon, I spotted this little cafe on the side of the road & read a sign that said smoothies, açaí bowls, & sandwiches thinking this would be a great place to stop. After our hike, Manuela said, I could go for a smoothie and a sandwich right now, and I knew I had the perfect place to stop. Even though it was in the opposite direction, and Consuela was about to have a heart attack because she thought we were going all the way back from where we came from, I asked my travel partners to trust me, and they were not let down. The Cave Cafe is a little, magical place with delicious food, incredible smoothies, a beautiful setting, & such friendly owners. If you are ever traveling on this road, this must be your next stop.
A highly recommended stop for a quick refreshment if you're traveling along Highway 89. The café offers coffee, fruit smoothies, sandwiches, hot chocolate, and more. The spot is pleasant, with shady trees, picnic tables, grassy areas, restrooms, and ample parking. If you like, you can also visit the Moqui Cave right next door (entrance fee applies) or the Sand Caves a little further south (free). We enjoyed the iced coffee; it was a perfect refreshment on a sunny October day!
We ordered multiple Paninis and smoothies. All food was better than I was anticipating and my two oldest kids enjoyed the Italian Panini with the marinara dipping sauce. The sodas were ice cold and sandwiches were reasonably priced. Only two people working and there was a big order before us and we had a big order for 8 of us. The wait for food to be made wasn't long. This hit the spot after our ROAM outdoor tour.
So glad we stopped here on our way to Utah. I’ve had Açaí bowls from many places in different states and this one was definitely my top favorite. The açaí base was smooth and had great flavor. Not to mention I’m not sure if their granola was homemade but it was AMAZING, I usually don’t care for granola but it had so much flavor and was chewy not hard like a lot of granola lol.
Delicious food with healthy options. I pulled in , curious about the museum. I was on my way to a higher rated restaurant, but it just goes to show that you shouldn’ put that much weight on a .3 or .4% difference. The grilled cheese was fantastic as was the Akai.bowl they probably get some bad ratings because it’s not super fast service, but it’s a really pretty place to wait for getting high qualoty at
a fair price.
