In 1997, Robber's Roost Books and Beverages (home of the Entrada Institute) opened its doors. Offering literature, guidebooks and maps devoted to the region, as well as gourmet coffee drinks and handmade gifts, Robber's Roost has quickly developed a reputation as the area's premier relaxation spot. The bookstore has been covered in a variety of publications, including Sunset magazine, The Salt Lake Tribune, the New York Times and the guidebook Utah Underground, which effused, "[This] is an unlikely place to find here in the middle of the high desert. The bookstore-café combo offers a kickback, quiet place to read or sip espresso. ...The book selection reflects a sophisticated, western taste. ...A special place."
       Robber's Roost, named after one of local outlaw Butch Cassidy's favorite hideouts, offers a helpful staff of readers, fresh coffee and other beverages, baked goods, and a handpicked variety of diverse books--both classics and future favorites. We also welcome special orders. Check out our selection of handmade gifts, art, ceramics, jewelry and other items.
