The bakery is adorable and has many options for sweet treats. The food for the restaurant was good. The portions are decent for the price. We went on a busy Saturday morning, but enjoyed everything we had.

A charming diner with options for gluten free. My omelette and potatoes were cooked in a separate pan, so thoughtful and delicious. Be sure to stop by bakery on your way out. It’s not gluten free but they did have chocolate covered strawberries which is amazing.

Delicious surprise on our drive! We had a Mushroom Swiss Burger and Club Sandwich. The burger was cooked according to our preference. Tater tots were great. The Club Sandwich had ample portions and was wonderful. Service was prompt and good. Great, local cafe!

This cafe is in a plaza off of highway 260. They have a bakery and some of the best biscuits and gravy. The bakery goods are equally delicious. It's one of the best in Heber/Overgaard.

It's very bright and clean. The staff is very welcoming. We ordered breakfast, which was really good. We had a side of the green chile gravy...it was awesome! We got another cup of it to go. On the way out, we picked up some sweets in their bakery. I would highly recommend this place!!

Love this place! Been there a half a dozen times. Perfect every time. The staff is old school homey. The environment feels like cheers meets mels diner. The bakery is almost evil. I gained a pound just looking at all the delicious options. My next to try is the cinnamon roll. The steak and eggs is awesome. Biscuits and gravy perfect. Ham and cheese omelette spot on! If you haven't picked up on it yet, I really like this place.
