Great breakfast treats and coffee drinks in the morning, and great wood fired pizza in the evening. Highly recommended if you find yourself in this part of the world, enjoying the area's hot springs and awesome scenery.
Nice small. Mom and pop place with good food and service. Pizza is wood fired and delicious. Chai was yummy and so was breakfast. Highly recommend. It's an oasis.

I saw the Kit Fox Cafe on Yelp. Since I'm in Tecopa once or twice a year, I decided to give it a try. We went right past it. In Shoshone, I asked someone where it was. Had he just told me go to where the cutoff is to Shoshone, I would have known. But, the only way he could describe where it was to tell me go past the resort in Tecopa We finally found it. It's near the post office in some old buldings in Tecopa. There was one little sign outside and that's why I decided to check that area. As described by others, it is a very small place. There are 5 or 6 tables--if you move the four tops into the two each you'd have more. The room is small. You order at the register and the woman brings the food to your table. I ordered a turkey club and my friend ordered a bowl of mushroom soup and a quiche. I also ordered a gingerbread iced latte. The food was brought quickly. The club sandwich was not your standard club but it had a good amount of turkey and cheese and was a very good sandwich. Forgive my photo. I cut the sandwich and was getting ready to eat it before I thought to take a photo. I tried some of my friend's mushroom soup--delicious!!! The woman forgot my latte, but when I got her attention later, she immediately got it and apologized for not remembering the order. This is a place where I'd stop again. Tecopa is a small town that you go through and be on your way before you know it. It's worth the stop if you're going to Death Valley or back.
The food, coffee, and service are great. They are very friendly. The pizza is really good!
Kit Fox Cafe is a little oasis to rest and eat in the middle of the desert. The food and service were excellent and we ate both breakfast and dinner there. The Mojave desert is a special place on the planet and I have been going there for years with a long recent absence. It was great to have a new experience. Courtney and her partner's passion for food and gentle ambience is felt. I highly recommend this spot and the added bonus is that people travel through the desert from around the world, so don't be surprised that striking and interesting conversations might pop up. I always feel like I am a part of a unique movie in these little outpost stops and long for more when I leave. Magic - Thanks Kit fox cafe
Everything here is amazing. I had their avocado toast 2 days in a row! Their pizza is down right the best pizza I've ever had! It was so good I ordered 2 to go on their last order just so I could save them for the next morning! I had their "heart attack" pizza 2x. Everything is so fresssssh!!! Thanks Courtney and John for being such amazing host! I will definitely see y'all again!
Wonderful Place. Me and my husband were in death valley for the long weekend. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. We are vegetarians and I loved the fact that the cafe had so many vegan/ vegetarian options. We ordered a soba noodle salad, a slice of cheese pizza, 2 bagels with cream cheese and 2 garlic and spinach calazones. The food was very fresh and yum! The bagels were the tastiest I've ever eaten. The calazones were actually skull shaped. I could see so much thought and creativity in everything I ate. We were so happy with our breakfast that we came back for dinner on the same day! There wasn't a lot left as we went when it was almost closing time but the chef was extremely kind to serve us fresh tomato soup, soba noodle salad and a calazone which I devoured. Huge shout-out to the entire staff running this place and I'd definitely highly recommend it!
