“Great stop when traveling from Tucson to Yuma or San Diego! The bathrooms are exceptionally clean as is the entire establishment. We bought date banana bread and date coconut rolls. Both delicious and all made on the premises. We're going to stop on the way back to Tucson to buy more dates. There are so many date options as well as Arizona souvenirs.
