Blue Hills Cafe
Blue Hills Cafe is a small restaurant in Dewey, Arizona, serving American home-cooked meals for breakfast and lunch. The space contains simple seating, an open approach to food preparation, and is operated by the family who prepares the dishes daily.
The cafe was founded in 1980 by Steve and Kathy Duryea, who moved from New Jersey to Arizona. A larger building was constructed in 1990 to accommodate the growing business and customer base.
The cafe serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors share casual meals in a setting that feels like a family home. The simple, unpretentious decor reflects how the community views it as a natural meeting spot for everyday life.
The cafe serves breakfast and lunch daily, with dinner available Tuesday through Friday. It has ample parking and is located roughly 15 miles southeast of Prescott, making it an easy stop for travelers and locals.
The cafe was started after the family returned to Arizona during a recession in the late 1970s, and the two adult children now work daily as cooks and servers. This multi-generational family operation remains central to how the place functions.
