Many times had we been to Escalante in Utah. Even more often have we passed a coffee shop, which was close to our favorite campground - Calf Creek campground (see our campsite on the picture below).
We had always seen the sign of the Kiva Koffeehouse as you cannot see the building itself while passing it.
Last year our friends Andi and Irina had been visiting the Escalante area (not sure if it was as we recommended this place to them or just by accident). They tried coffee there and were thrilled. They were so thrilled that while we were staying with them in New York Irina mentioned it to us. Thus we decided next time we will try it as well. Unbelievable how many good coffees we hadn’t had, or coffee cake, raspberry cheesecake! Yummy!
And the architecture of the building is unbelievable as well (artist Bradshaw Bowman designed it), incredible view! Thanks Irina for recommending this place to us. This place has also Wifi for free as most of the coffee shops in the USA. Coffee shops without Internet access have a disadvantage - the same for hotels. This whole experience makes the Kiva Koffeehouse a perfect spot – a true pearl in the desert in an unbelievable landscape. Now we can have everything: camping (7 dollars per night) where we can read at the river, enjoy the outside, relax, hike, run, bike and the beauty to communicate with the rest of the world.
That is why we know such important news from Germany like soccer results and that German Chancellor Angela Merkel was attending a beer festival….
