Sad Monkey Mercantile

This was a great stop while visiting Palo Duro Canyon State Park. The coffee and food was soooo good. They have a play area for the kids and are pet friendly. We visited 3 times during our stay at the state park. It was a cool calm vibe. Definitely a must if in the area.

Cute little convenient shop with everything you need to camp, little necessities, even things to spruce up your camping experience. Cool gift shop and souvenirs. They have a little finger foods, coffee and drinks to order. And a happy hour. Fun little area outside for kids to run around. You can bring your dog, overlooking beautiful landscape that has longhorn.

Must stop after hiking at Palo Duro! We went around noon on a Monday and there was no one else for awhile. One of the ovens was broken so food too much longer but the staff was kind enough to let us know beforehand! Plus, there were board games to keep us occupied. Food were the basics, but much better than anticipated! There was a little gift shop as well. Would definitely recommend!

Sad Monkey Mercantile is a neat little stop just outside Palo Duro Canyon, and definitely worth pulling over for. It’s got a cool, rustic vibe with unique local goods, souvenirs, snacks, and drinks—way more personality than your typical gift shop. Great spot to grab a cold drink or browse a bit after a day in the canyon. Friendly staff and a fun place to wind down before hitting the road again!
