Jerona Cafe — Restaurant in Cottonwood

Pathetically irresponsible environmental stewardship. Plastic everywhere, even for dine-in experiences. I took my time to allow these kids from MT to dig into our little dessert enclave, as they cycle through employees...clients are forced to cycle through unnecessary and known environmental hazards.

Prior ownership provided earth-oriented, biodegradable containers. Being residents of, and business owners in Cottonwood, the current owners know recycling has become another household expenditure since our municipal government has opted to privatize basic residential recycling.

They can update any changes on Google if they want to be...
