I didn't have high expectations when I stopped by Sanke Oil Coffee on my way out of the hotel to Canyonlands. I was just drawn in by the intriguing name, "Snake Oil." It's a small drive-thru coffee shop located about 0.5 miles off the main road.
My Americano was served with a warm, friendly smile, and a small chocolate made from coffee beans was placed on the lid. I've been drinking 2 cups of Americano or espresso black every day for the past 24 years, so I'm quite sensitive to coffee taste. That's why I always try to find the best coffee shop in each area and savor the taste.
I took a sip of Sanke Oil's coffee and drove the peaceful 20-mile journey to the Canyonlands entrance. It was truly the best coffee I've ever tasted in the past 24 years. I don't like bitterness. It was smooth and nutty when I drank it, and the aftertaste was clean and refreshing as it went down my throat.
The 20-mile drive from my favorite part of Canyonlands to the visitor center is like driving through paradise - it's so beautiful and peaceful. And what made this place even more precious was Sanke Oil's coffee. If you love coffee, I highly recommend trying their Americano or espresso. When I think about coming back here, I get more excited about the coffee than the...

First off, the coffee is absolutely dynamite. It's like they have a secret potion that makes every sip pure magic. I don't know what they put in it, but I swear I felt like I could take on the world after just one cup.

The atmosphere, even from my car, is cozy and inviting. I love the little touches they've added to make the drive-through feel more like a community hangout.

Read moreWe came in based on the great reviews and it was close to where we were staying. The first time we walked up to the window. There are two sides with a window on each side. We saw mostly people driving up but you can also easily walk up.
I’m not even a coffee drinker but after trying my daughter’s Vin the first day I ordered my own the next day.
There is one barista that does a great job working both windows. He was super friendly and very efficient.
Prices were reasonable and most drinks came in three different sizes.
They are only open a few hours each day. We never saw them open during the afternoon during our visit. But definitely worth...
