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 are other locations at 107 N. San Francisco St. (tel. 928/779-5975) and 2880 S. Milton Rd., Ste. 300 (tel. 928/213-8500). You can also get fair-trade organic coffee at Flagstaff Coffee Company, 16 E. Route 66 (tel. 928/773-1442; www.flagbrew.com), which is affiliated with a brewpub. I guess one good brew deserves another. On cold mornings, though, only one Flagstaff coffee drink will do, and that's the "Hot Monte" at the Hotel Monte Vista's Rendezvous Coffeehouse/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 some good bread for a picnic or just want something sweet, try House of Bread, University Plaza Shopping Center, 1237 S. Plaza Way (tel. 928/774-5254; www.houseofbreadflagstaff.com). If you need to stock up on picnic supplies, try New Frontiers Natural Marketplace, 1000 S. Milton Rd. (tel. 928/774-5747).
