Definitely coming back! Super cute inside with beautiful artwork. Breakfast menu had something for everyone and everything we ordered was great. Staff was great and kid-friendly. The baked goods were well stocked and some of the best we've ever had. Don't leave without a Moon Bombe if you like chocolate (and GF!). We will be back for lunch/dinner. Note to staff: only bummer was my breakfast tacos fell apart. Maybe double up on the corn tortillas

This is one of the best restaurants I have found in the Mancos area. The food is delicious, the drinks are amazing, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. We especially love their happy hour!

Loved it so much we came back for breakfast. Small town cafe / bakery with delicious food and GREAT service. Seriously nothing was a problem and smiles aplenty. The food was tasty and miles above the usual bunghole served elsewhere. Please, if you are reading this, make the small detour and enjoy this place. Nice building and a little bit of art work. Yes, we found the 7 hummingbirds

Wow! As a Mancos local, I am so pleased at our new Moondog Cafe and Bakery. The pastries are out of this world- the savory stuffed croissants are perfect for lunch, and the guava pastry is now my favorite. Had the best lamb burger (The Frenchman) for lunch, and for breakfast we had the Shakshuka and the Trout Benedict! Everything has been wonderful. They are new, and there is a lot of negative comments about service - but I’ve been multiple times now and everyone is great. Give them some grace while they find their rhythm - the workers are dedicated and kind. Absolutely go, have a delicious pastry to go or sit down for an amazing meal

Good food, nice bakery items fresh made and reasonable prices. Very friendly staff, attentive but not too attentive. The food was great, I really liked the green chili, very fresh and home made flavor. Cool local art work as well, we loved the Ravens.

Moondog Cafe and Bakery is such a great find. The vibe is cozy and welcoming and the staff is super friendly. I had a iced matcha and a omelette, both were delicious. You can tell everything is made with care. It’s the kind of place you just want to hang out in. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
