Undertaker‘s Espresso Bar — Restaurant in Tombstone

When you’re the only coffee shop in town, you get to do whatever you well please, whether it’s good, or whether it’s bad. And folks, I’m here to tell you, it’s bad.

Imagine you order a steak at a steakhouse. Ribeye, medium rare. Chef then proceeds to put that ribeye through a meat grinder, then molds it into the shape of a steak, and throws it in the microwave. It arrives at your table, and while it smells like beef resembles beef, it’s nowhere near the steak you had envisioned when you ordered it.

Y’all, that’s a metaphor for how badly they butchered (pun intended lol) the recipe for proper espresso. I’ll spare you the details of what an espresso recipe looks like; but crucially, instead of pulling a normal double shot of espresso and combining it with water to make an americano, the improperly trained owner and his barista let the shot run for the full volume of my 16oz plastic cup.

They should have at least a small selection of quality baked goods served on a saucer with a real fork. So stop in with your own cup for some great coffee...bring your...

Super yum!

I tried a speciality Red Bull drink made with berry syrups of some flavor, I don’t really remember other than it was refreshing if not a little too sweet for me haha. However it was nice to sip on & cool off!

They have cool art on the walls here as well as a barista who can keep you entertained with local lore!

Definitely worth a stop - you’ll need lots of energy to fully enjoy your Tombstone visit & this place has...
