Breakfast in America

Naples Country Cafe

When a “google” fails to turn up a decent place to eat, I always turn to the locals for advice. Thankfully, I was visiting family in Vernal and being locals, they knew just where to go to get a good breakfast.

My cousins introduced me to Naples Cafe just off Highway 40 as you head east out of town. If you’re not careful, you can almost miss the place as you zoom your way to the Colorado border.

In a converted industrial warehouse looking thing, Valerie, the owner, has converted vast space into a comfy country diner with room for large parties. Except for the scrambled eggs, everything we ordered was fresh-tasting and pleasant in appearance. It arrive quickly and was consumed with enthusiasm. My son rejoiced at his “better breakfast” which put him in a much better mood than the day before.

Great Biscuits and Gravy

I usually leave behind a little bit of food on my plate, but the home fries were so perfectly prepared with the right amount ofcrispy, I ate them like an addict. The bacon was gorgeous! It looked great and tasted even better. The country gravy was flavorful with the right amount of pepper.

Waffles...and I think, eggs

Everything at the Naples Cafe is homemade right down to the delicious homemade boysenberry  jam. A stop here is a great place to start a travel-filled day or a romp around dinosaur country.
