Our story

Welcome to our Garden Cafe, a piece of cherished Yuma history-the latest in a long line of ventures passed down four generations! These grounds have been loved in, lived in, played in, and worked in by members of our family since E.F. Sanguinetti launched his career here in 1887.

A winding brick path leads from a street side courtyard entrance through wrought-iron gates, past bird aviaries and flowing vines. When you finally arrive at the enchanting, open-air restaurant at the end of the walk, you’ll feel as if you’ve discovered a secret garden. Leafy shade trees and brightly colored canopies provide a roof for the brick floored dining terraces. This delightful outdoor environment is enhanced by birds chirping in room sized aviaries and the fragrance of lemon trees.

The outside garden setting lets you enjoy our family recipes made with quality ingredients. Try our signature strawberry turkey salad, quiches and cake. Our meats are marinated and grilled fresh daily. Our breads and muffins are homemade, and don’t forget our amazing tortilla soup and infamous Yuma spice iced tea!
