There are some places in a small town where locals like to meet. Whether it's daily, once a week, or once a month, gathering at a local spot to catch up, talk, or even gossip is a common occurrence in a small community. If you love exploring local places in your own town or in your travels, check out Morning Star Cafe, a small-town diner in Arizona. Located in the community of Palominas, you'll enjoy the sense of community here.
Palomonas is a quiet community in Cochise County with a population of just over 200 residents. Open since 1991, Morning Star Cafe has become a fixture in downtown Palominas over the years and a place for locals to hang out and catch up.
The interior of Morning Star Cafe is warm, inviting, charming, and welcoming with numerous tables throughout. It's a wonderful place to gather with family and friends.
While catching up with folks around town, you can dine on delicious dishes like a short stack or a full stack of pancakes with blueberries on top. Doesn't this plate of pancakes look divine?
Eggs and hash browns, biscuits and gravy, or a breakfast sandwich are great choices as well and the perfect way to start your day!
If you'd prefer a lunch item, there is an array of burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Perhaps a jalapeño cheeseburger or a triple-decker club sandwich will satisfy your hunger best.
And then there's the country fried steak covered with a generous helping of sausage gravy -- delicious!
Come here for breakfast or lunch Friday through Sundays. Hang out, stay a while, and catch up with others in the community. This is what the Morning Star Cafe is all about!
