The FAMILY CAFE sign in Desert Center, California, red letters on a long white board, sits on a flat pink canopy over red and white vintage gas pumps. The tan building's large windows reflect distant mountains, and yellow ground stretches to a purple range under a clear blue sky. The same cafe appears in the print Desert Center Family Cafe.
