“Some people think small-town dining means casual, so-so food. Not in Bisbee. Café Roka stands out with its rack of lamb and roasted quail entrees, and appetizers such as goat cheese-filled piquillo peppers with a balsamic glaze.”


Arizona Highways magazine

“Pressure-fired bricks were relatively new in 1907, when Bisbee’s Costello Building was constructed. But thanks to those bricks, the Costello Building was spared from a fire that leveled much of the mining town in 1908. Now, 100 years later, the building houses Café Roka, a three-level, internationally inspired restaurant that’s been serving up some of Bisbee’s finest fare since chef owner Rod Kass moved into the Costello in 1993. Whether you’re a sucker for sweet-potato strudel or have a hankering for New Zealand rack of lamb, the café has something for everyone, including history buffs.”
