The Wild Rabbit Cafe

About This Establishment

Capitol Reef stop: The Wild Rabbit Cafe delivers American fare with farm-to-table ingredients. The Buttermilk Biscuits with Guava Butter show a flaky crust and tender crumb, while Avocado Toast pairs crisp bread with creamy avocado. House pastries rise from the oven with GF options, and the organic coffee program keeps pace with lattes and cold brews. Eight miles from Capitol Reef, it’s the reliable breakfast pit-stop you didn’t know you needed.
