Copper Spike Cafe

Crema's Take

“Copper Spike Cafe is primarily a convenience for Verde Canyon Railroad passengers who have a couple hours to kill before their scenic train ride, and the kitchen does respectable work keeping expectations modest—burgers and breakfast sandwiches that won't embarrass the ticket price. The real draw here is the captive audience setup, which paradoxically means the food is actually better than you'd expect from a place with nowhere else to go, though quality can be inconsistent. Visit only if you're already committed to the train experience and need to fuel up beforehand.”
