High Desert Cafe

I love this coffee shop. Atmosphere and service is always top notch but can we work on improving pulling a good espresso shots please? Second time in a row I got a bitter cappuccino and I was REALLY looking forward to it after camping for four nights, as I was heading home.

You folks are our last cup on the way out to the wilds, and our first cup after coming back from the wilds.

Please, take a barista course and improve on making a good cup, I beg you!

The 2 girls that worked there were pretty rude. There wasn’t any nice customer service. I hope who ever manages this place definitely trains them to have some greeting skills. I went in excited only to leave the place with a complaint. The cashier was rude as well as the other girl who gave us our food. All we got was here’s your food and she left without a have a great day attitude. If you’re not willing to to be nice to who you’re serving, maybe customer service isn’t for you. I always tip servers but not this place. I don’t think I’ll be going back again.

Finger licking good. Ordered the ribs but they were sold out (which is disappointing but probably a good sign) so we opted for the pulled pork with a side of baked beans, some of the best baked beans I’ve ever had. If I weren’t so full I would’ve ordered more. The plate also came with a side of cornbread, lacking in taste a bit but I dropped it into my beans and it was delicious.

Kids had the quesadilla, my son kept telling us it was the best quesadilla he’s ever had in his life. Their food came with a side of fries which were surprisingly homemade and tasted wonderful with the fry sauce.

If you’re ever in Monticello stop by and give them a try. They also had a cute gift shop to browse through.

Great burgers and pulled pork. Had mine with brisket and grilled onions. French fries were fresh cut and delicious. My wife had the pulled pork plate with coleslaw. Both were very good.

Cute decorated shop inside and out, and average tasting food that's a little pricier than it should be. The older waitress lady is very nice. The Hispanic women working at the front register is not inviting at all. No hello when we entered.

Contrary to the reviews, the food here was mediocre at best and some of it was undercooked and overcooked. Also, we waited over 45 minutes for it so definitely not worth the wait. Coffee was bad too.

Great find! They have great food and some nice take home souvenirs. Pay a visit if you're in town. You won't be disappointed!

We ate here for lunch. First of all the reviews looked so good so we thought we would try it as we went thru town. We had to wait in line for about 40 mins to order. One lady takes your order at the counter and she also brings your food to you. Another girl works frantically making your order while another in the back takes care of the hot foods. The bus boy clears your table and I think we saw him taking food to a couple people. We sat outside which was nice with a breeze. Probably the best part of the meal. I ordered a club wrap which was ok, and a side salad. My husband ordered a bagel club. No where on the sign does it say that it’s a whole grain bagel. He can’t eat that so really that was our fault for not checking. He had avacado on his sandwich and no where did it say that. He ended up just mixing everything together off the bagel, and made a salad which was ok. We didn’t tell them about their mistake with my husbands order, the avacado, because we would of had to wait longer. I don’t think we would return. The people are nice enough but the wait and food mistakes just aren’t for us.

The staff was so rude and food doesn’t have any taste

What a disappointment. Ordered the omelette which was ok but the toast was just cold bread and the potatoes were cold. Only thing good was the coffee.
