Overview

About This Establishment

Looney Bean sits in a cozy, lodge-like space in Black Canyon NP, with artful walls and comfy nooks. The cinnamon rolls deliver a tender crumb with a creamy glaze that offers a satisfying snap; the scones boast flaky texture and a just-right crust. The Frosted Mint Mocha Frappe cools the palate without tipping into excess sweetness, while locally roasted beans drive the drink program. Takeout is an option for travelers craving caffeine on the go.
