Our Story

“It all began with my grandparents Joe & Lucy Ono. Joe worked the railroad graveyard shift and went straight to the cafe to prep for opening, and Lucy would always start the day at 6am for breakfast. Hardworking and earnest, ready to serve their community one plate at a time.

The Brown Mug Cafe’s namesake started in the late 1890’s as a saloon, up until it became a Chinese restaurant owned by Henry Woo until 1958. It was then purchased by the Ono’s and ran successfully until 1982, when my parents Joe and Josephine bought the restaurant and owned it until 2021.

Myself and my husband, Luini Vargas are 3rd generation heirs and the current owners of the Brown Mug Cafe. With big shoes to fill, we strive to serve our community just like my family did. Working hard is what we do!”

What Our Clients Say

Cute diner filled with locals and friendly staff ready to serve you authentic southwestern dishes in a retro diner vibe. People watching was half the fun as there are lots of characters there. Fried burrito was very good.

Matthew Becker

Very good experience, employees are nice and helpful. Food is very good. Small cafe but has lots of seating. Been coming here several times a year for past 25 years. Never a complaint. First time I tried the Menudo, it was very good. Taco plate is good and special burrito is phenomenal!

Edgar B.

Such food! Very wow! We were on Northern Arizona for a week and this was the meal we all agreed was the best. The Navajo Tacos were our favorites... the combo plate was great... the service was excellent. We couldn't gave asked for better. We wished we lived closer.
