Parisian-leaning brunch counter in downtown Flagstaff
Forêt brings a French-leaning breakfast and brunch counter to downtown Flagstaff, about 80 miles south of the South Rim — a good detour on the drive in or out of the canyon. Order at the counter, grab a table inside or on the patio, and your food comes to you. The pastry case and espresso menu lean Parisian, but the breakfast burrito is the dish reviewers keep coming back for.
The vibe is casual and unhurried, with a full espresso list plus beer and Bloody Marys for anyone easing into the day slower. Regulars point to the breakfast burrito, the waffle, and the steak and eggs as standouts, alongside patisserie items and a corn salad that get called out for flavor. One review joked the seasoning runs a bit heavy — a sign the kitchen doesn't hold back.
Seating is first-come, first-served and the small dining room fills up, so expect a wait — reviewers mention 30-40 minutes at busier times. Worth the patience if you're passing through Flagstaff on a Grand Canyon trip and want a real breakfast instead of a drive-through.

The chicken and cabbage salad was by far one of the best I’ve ever had and I live in nyc and have tried the best of the best! This one felt so light yet so filling, the crunch, the flavor, the chicken. Everything was pristine, can’t wait to come back every day to try more on the menu.

This place is getting more popular on social media and it’s worth the hype. The pastries are delicious! I recommend the muffins! I got an Arnold Palmer and it was super refreshing. The staff and atmosphere are amazing. You can sit inside or outside. The service is friendly and quick. If you ever stop by, you won’t be disappointed!

Super overrated! We tried this on our trip bec of good recommendations on instagram. Such a disappointment. We spent over $100 on food, waited over an hour after we ordered, and left to get more food. The burrito was ok. Nothing to write home about, the $14 granola was something you can buy in a box at the store, the waffles were good but the size of my palm. Plus no AC and sweating up a storm. Just not worth it honestly!

They quoted us a 30-40 minute wait that ended up being closer to 70 minutes for a 21$ breakfast burrito that was one of the worst I've had in my life. Mostly beans, no salsa, barely any meat (and what meat there was was incredibly greasy). Definitely never going back.

Coffee is amazing. While it was a bit messy to eat, they have the best tasting breakfast sandwich I have ever had.
