Weary of the desert heat? Head for the hills! Or the mountains – Mount Lemmon, to be exact. A bit off the beaten path, 8000 feet up in the little town of Summerhaven is this family-run no-frills café. Eat light for lunch – try the fondue with French bread and veggies – and then splurge on dessert. People are known to travel up the mountain just for a fix of Belgian chocolate, blackberry or strawberry pie, all made with closely guarded secret recipes, of course. Pie offerings vary from day to day (sometimes from hour to hour), but literally all of them are great. If the weather is sketchy, call ahead; if the Mt Lemmon highway is closed, so is the cafe!
