Le Cornucopia Café, one of our favorite spots to visit in Bisbee, is opening a brand-new location in Sierra Vista — just northwest of its original location at 14 Main St.
The new Sierra Vista café, located inside the Sierra Vista Public Library at 2600 E. Tacoma St., is hosting its Grand Opening on Monday, August 5.
If you’ve been to the Bisbee location, which has been open since the mid-to-late ’90s and also referred to as Café Cornucopia, you’re likely a fan and aware of its quaint atmosphere — serving up fresh, made-to-order bites that draw a crowd.
Sometimes the line stretches down the sidewalk at the Bisbee location.
“Enjoy their truly delicious meatloaf sandwich, a variety of soups, quiches, and more,” the City of Sierra Vista Library, Recreation, and Cultural Services shared.
And speaking of that meatloaf sandwich, it had garnered the attention of Forbes magazine. Back in 2021, they referred to Bisbee as “Mayberry on acid” and the meatloaf sandwich was their most memorable meal.
“We encourage you to support them as it’s really a rare and neat thing for a library to have a cafe’. In fact, did you know Sierra Vista is one of the only libraries with a successful restaurant run out of it in the country? Bon Appetit!”
Le Cornucopia’s new Sierra Vista location is expected to be open 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. daily. If you’re reading this on Monday, August 5, the café is offering a free lemonade with any entree purchase for its Grand Opening.
Le Cornucopia Café is located at 2600 E. Tacoma St. (Sierra Vista) and 14 Main St. (Bisbee). For more information, follow Le Cornucopia Café on Instagram and Facebook.

More about MattAt 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.
