"This is probably the best coffee shop I've been to. An absolute must stop on this route. Great views, great coffee, absolutely flawless ambience. A peaceful surprise to find when exploring highway 12. The architecture in roundhouse Kiva style made from massive timbers is impressive and blends perfectly into the scenery. Everything looks and smells wonderful and staff are super friendly. The outdoor seating area is inviting and it's super peaceful inside. Worth going the highway 12 route again for this alone. The coffee is the perfect blend of coffee bean flavor and the chosen flavoring, not too sweet, not too strong, just right. I don't think any other coffee I've had has struck this so perfectly. Parking lot is interesting, unique going up the center ramp, but was easy to get in and out. For older folks, might want to park on the left instead of up the ramp."

"This place has been on my bucket list for at least a year. GPS got us there just fine. Be careful, though. If you blink you might just miss it! It blends into the cliff side so well! The café was nice but I was expecting the views to be a lot more dramatic. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. We drove almost 4 hours to start our day here and continue with some hikes in the area. It was nice to have this café as a part of the plan. We weren't in the mood for breakfast so we just got drinks. I had gotten coffee elsewhere earlier this morning so I was looking for something less-caffeinated. They unfortunately ran out of matcha right before we got there so I ordered a London Fog, instead. The staff was extremely pleasant and I love all of the art that is available to buy. The day became hotter as it went on, so half of the shades covered the windows to keep it cool. It was unfortunate because it impeded the sights, but a precaution you have to take in the desert, I'm afraid. We went outside to get the full picture. It was nice out there. We enjoyed our experience here. The drinks were good, and you kind of get the feeling of being a pioneer from a different time. Would definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again!"

"What an amazing coffee shop! Customer service is top notch! The seating for the views is beautiful! The coffee was delicious! Great quite coffee house. Definitely stop by to unwind from your trip!!!"

"Kiva Koffeehouse is such a unique and cool spot, perched on the side of a hill with parking above it. The atmosphere is incredible—a mix of hippie and Native American influences that gives it a really special vibe. We tried a couple of iced lattes, a blackberry muffin, and a slice of coffee cake, and everything was excellent. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, and the baked goods were fresh and delicious. This place is definitely worth a stop if you’re traveling through. Between the amazing views, unique setting, and great coffee, it’s an experience you won’t forget."

"3.5 stars. Amazing views! We loved the indoor decor and seating. We ordered from their lunch menu and they were pretty busy so the service was very slow. The plates were small so I wouldn’t come here if you’re hungry. Their veggie sandwich and vegan tamales tasted fine. I would still recommend coming in though for drinks and a treat from their baked section."
