Red Rock Bakery & Café in Moab is a cozy, casual counter-run spot. Cinnamon rolls arrive huge and warm; steam escapes as you bite; the sugar crust crackles. The Everything Bagel Sandwich packs rich toppings and a hearty filling; the House-made Sourdough Turkey Provolone Sandwich delivers generous portions and tangy chew. The Vegan sandwich and the quiche bring robust vegetarian options; Fresh Moab Coffee and the spicy ginger chai latte bring heat and depth.
