Beyond Bread is Now Open at the Mount Lemmon Lodge

Jul 24, 20232 min read

The locally owned and operated cafe that’s been rising to the occasion since 1998 has taken its bread, sandwiches, and soup to new heights — literally.

On Sunday, July 23, Beyond Bread officially opened inside the Mount Lemmon Lodge at 12833 N. Sabino Canyon Park.

Beyond Bread is opening daily from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m., which is perfect for the early risers or and the later-in-the-day munchies. Speaking of waking up early, it’s not required to book a room at the lodge to eat at the cafe so pop your head in there whenever you’d like (when they’re open, that is).

Breakfast is served every day from 7 – 11 a.m. and includes items like Otis’ Oatmeal, quiche, a yogurt parfait, and a Summerhaven Sunrise — an egg, Swiss cheese, and tomato sandwich. The rest of the menu is similar to what you’ll find at around 2,000 feet (in Tucson) at 6260 E. Speedway Blvd. and 3026 N. Campbell Ave.

The Mount Lemmon Lodge, located at 7,700 feet and nestled in the town of Summerhaven, Arizona, began construction in 2021. For years, there had always been a lodge in Summerhaven — a place for folks to stay while escaping the heat down below in Tucson — but the Aspen Fire in 2003 destroyed the former Alpine Lodge.

Now, 20 years later, the Mount Lemmon Lodge is now taking reservations for any of its 16 rooms, creating space for families to make new memories up on the mountain.

The new cafe is open 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. daily.

Beyond Bread is located inside the Mount Lemmon Lodge at 12833 N. Sabino Canyon Park. For more information, visit mountlemmonlodge.com. For a map of more places to eat on Mount Lemmon, take a look at our new interactive guide.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
