Food Scene

This small food stand will surely become a brick and mortar due to its rising popularity. The best tacos in Flagstaff?? We would happily have a debate in favor of. No seating available so be ready to get some delicious food and hit a local park or trail to enjoy.

Widely considered the best Flagstaff Brewery this is a must stop for brew loving travellers. Just know that if you have been here before you can no longer bring your own food to their patio.

Cornish Pasty Co is also in the Phoenix area so, this is not a standalone restaurant but it does provide many vegan options alongside its expansive pasty menu. The interior has a great vibe and boasts one of the most beautiful bartops in Flagstaff.

Not recommending for the food but if you would like a cocktail, beer, or glass of wine with a great view? Charly's balcony will provide with gusto!

Macy's will happily care for your caffeine needs. It is a local favorite that has been featured in Arizona Highways Magazine. Plus, Jeff's (cohost) brother worked here for years out of college. This coffee house has stood the test of time.

Fratelli Pizza is a great local pizza chain with all the standards. If pizza is on the menu we suggest coming here, or, if you are a wood fired person perhaps try Pizzicletta.

Feeling fancy? Atria is a true fine dining experience in downtown Flagstaff. It is the first restaurant for chef Rochelle Daniel, a young woman who has made her mark in the culinary world. We checked it out opening week and loved it but would save it for special occasions due to the price point. If you want beautifully plated food that feels like a gastronomic adventure we suggest making a reservation.

A great breakfast menu and often with shorter wait times on the weekend, Brandy’s is a go to for when we venture out. We head to the location on the Eastside when I have a craving for quiche (the downtown location does not have quiche on the menu). It’s a reasonably priced breakfast joint.

There are a few juice spots in Flagstaff, all newer, but this location feels the most local. Plus they have some of the craziest espresso concoctions I have ever witnessed and remain reasonably priced while still tasting yummy AND healthy. Our experience at other shops was a lot of dinero to taste like we were slurping up a crushed mixed vitamin!

I debated on adding a sushi restaurant to this list. Flagstaff is not a sushi Mecca and I think folks in larger cities have much better options in this area but if you are a sushi lover and need a fix, Karma delivers consistently enjoyable meals. They also have some ramens on the menu that we love!

Just a fun library/ wine cellar type vibe. Great small plates. Cozy. If you’re looking for a place for a glass of wine, stop here! It is located inside and up a flight of stairs from the street.

Sightseeing

Once almost inaccessible and only known by locals, the lava river cave is now easily reached and loved. This hike does require some scrambling over rock and occasional ducking due to low clearance but is otherwise easily navigated with an underground highway type feel. Please make sure roads are open prior to adding this to your agenda, they do close the roads part of the year and you would have a very long hike to get here.

Vermillion Cliffs has some stellar hiking and beautiful landscape but is a bit of a drive. Some of the areas DO require permits so depending on what you want to do you may need to plan in advance. Still, if you're planning on exploring the North Rim of the canyon at all, you'll be driving through this area and we recommend you soak it up!

This is the best little trail close to our home! If you're looking for a quick hike you have about a 5-10 minute drive to get here. Start the loop clockwise so that you see the area where the path splits. If you stay to the left (you'll see a sign that says "trail" pointing to the right, which would keep you on the loop) then you'll be walking alongside the creek. This trail is not a loop and ends up in an under the road tunnel, which means you just turn around. You can do the loop as well, but it does not have nearly the amount of flora the trail by the creek has. We bring our dog here all the time and even do some climbing on a few of the larger rock faces.

Hiking!!! No we are not recommending you visit an elementary school while here we are recommending you walk just around the corner and access the trails right near our house. You can see them on a map app and the trailhead starts at the Elementary school. Either walk around the block or there is access between two homes on our street. Ask us if you would like help with directions. :) We love getting some quick exercise here and you often see people walking their dogs or mountain biking.

Flagstaff has a lot of outdoor climbing all around but, a fun thing to do while staying out of the elements is to stop by Flagstaff Climbing gym. It’s our favorite way to get some exercise.

A newer community center that is volunteer driven, Liminal provides arts and crafts, reading areas, and a coffee shop (run by volunteers). All purchases are PWYC (pay what you can) and you never have to buy anything in order to spend time here. Every sale and donation helps keep the space up and running. If you’re into community, arts, and want a taste of the hipper side of Flagstaff a stop in might be up your alley.

It’s not Broadway but Flagstaff brings the fun of the theater in a more personal way at Theatrikos. Shows can be sold out so we recommend looking into what’s playing and reserving in advance. A fun way to spend an evening outside of the more traditional movie theater!

Flagstaff is a dark sky city meaning you can enjoy the stars from everywhere, but, if you love astronomy and science we have one of the first observatories in the United States, now considered a National Landmark as well. They provide great educational tours but, you do need to watch the weather. Cloudy skies do not make for great star gazing. You can also check out their event calendar and see if something unique is happening!
