At Peace Tree Juice Cafe, you’ll find hearty breakfast options with names like the Wake Up Plate (two eggs any style, plus your breakfast meat of choice) and the smothered burrito (just try it for yourself, but know that it’s smothered in green chili with feta on top). On the lighter side, you can order a fresh green goddess juice or a shake of your choice. Feeling a little sluggish? Add an espresso shot to that vanilla or chocolate shake and really turn your day around.

If you’re road-tripping to Moab and seeking that quintessential diner experience, Moab Diner is the place for that. Enjoy comfort food favorites with a local twist, like the Rapid Rafters Breakfast that promises to feed you before you head out to the "chutes and runs" of Moab. For some real local flavor, sit yourself down in a red booth and order Vern’s Special, Moab’s take on biscuits and gravy.

If the cute name isn’t enough to tempt you, Love Muffin Cafe’s locavore menu might do the trick. Breakfast is served at 6:30 every morning (perfect timing before hitting the arches early), and the menu has all your hiker favorites: breakfast paninis, the Farmer’s Omelette, the Shaka Bowl (eggs over legumes), and housemade granola.

To grab your own fresh produce, a fresh salad, or sandwich to go, check out Moab’s only natural food store, Moonflower Coop. They offer plenty of natural and organic specialty foods, supplements, and a community feel — several times a month the market offers classes and workshops with local wellness practitioners and craftspeople — to enrich your shopping experience.

The RRB has been feeding locals and travelers for over a decade. Order at the the counter and taste the homemade bread, bagels, and pastries, including scones, muffins, and cinnamon rolls. For something a little more substantial, get a bagel with all the fixings, like the Howard Special with spiced egg, tomato, onion, pepper jack cheese, and sausage.

If you’re between outdoor activities and need some energy (or if you’re just looking to carbo-load), Pasta Jay’s is a must. You can build your own pasta — pick your own sauce and variety — or leave it to the professionals to make your favorites, like the baked spaghetti marinara or a pesto pizza. Who says it’s too early for pasta? Pasta Jay’s opens at 11 a.m.

If you broke your sunglasses, forgot your socks, or want to upgrade your mountain climbing wardrobe, Moab Gear Trader is your spot. The staff can answer your gear questions and make sure you’re fully equipped, whether you’re into hiking, biking, or something else entirely. Plus, its convenient location on Main Street means you’re close to food options as well.

For your gear needs, head to Gearheads. They’ve got you covered on all things climbing and camping, including daypacks and, most importantly, maps. Even if you don’t need to buy anything, it’s fun to peruse this packed shop and refill your water bottle at the filtered water station. Who knows, you might stumble upon a new hobby.
