Restaurants

If you're headed north to the Grand Canyon and need a good espresso to get you there, stop at Late for the Train Espresso, 1800 N. Fort Valley Rd. (tel. 928/773-0308; www.lateforthetrain.com), on U.S. 180 as you drive north out of town. Just watch for the old gas station. There's another location downtown at 107 N. San Francisco St. (tel. 928/779-5975). On cold mornings, though, only one Flagstaff coffee drink will do, and that's the "Hot Monte" at the Hotel Monte Vista's Rendezvous Coffee House/Martini Bar, 100 N. San Francisco St. (tel. 928/779-6971; www.hotelmontevista.com). It's made with espresso, chocolate, milk, cinnamon, and cayenne. If you need to stock up on picnic supplies, try New Frontiers Natural Marketplace, 320 S. Cambridge Lane at Butler Avenue (tel. 928/774-5747). For good old-fashioned pies, head east of downtown Flagstaff to Miz Zip's, 2924 E. Rte. 66 (tel. 928/526-0104).
