RestaurantDark Sky Coffee
Cinnamon Roll: warm center with a crackly crust; a must-try.

Chai tea latte carries a gingerbread warmth, with a balanced sweet-spice profile. Pastries are airy and offer gluten-free and vegan options. The breakfast burrito provides a compact, savory start, though portions can be small. The cafe sits among large windows and a covered outdoor patio with panoramic Escalante River Canyon views.
Skip the plain drip, get the chai tea latte with gingerbread spice. For a coffee fix, order a handcrafted latte.
It is quiet; a post-hike oasis with serene vibes and panoramic river canyon views.
