Sosta

Downtown Flagstaff's all-day Italian cafe

About

Sosta is an Italian cafe on San Francisco Street in downtown Flagstaff, mixing espresso and pastries with fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, and a gelato case. Reviewers consistently single out the same thing: a staff that's fast, warm, and genuinely on top of things, even when the kitchen runs behind.

What to expect

The menu covers a lot of ground for a cafe — breakfast burritos, house-made pasta, and pizza (one reviewer called out the pizzicletta-style pie specifically) alongside a full coffee bar with flavored cold foam drinks. Portions run generous, and more than one regular mentioned it's an easy place to post up with a laptop for a few hours. Sosta also runs a private event side of the business, hosting a wedding reception for close to 90 guests, with a grazing table and gelato bar for dessert.

Rating: 4.4 stars from 180 Google reviews
Hours: Mon-Thu 8am-3pm, Fri-Sun 8am-9pm
Address: 413 N San Francisco St, Flagstaff, AZ

Service is the throughline in nearly every review — attentive and quick to make things right on a slow ticket. Worth a stop for coffee and a pastry or a full sit-down pasta lunch downtown.

We went here the night before and had a 4 star review until this evening. We went for drinks and some gelato and had the tiniest portion I have ever seen. Like the little cups had maybe 2 bites in it and I really mean maybe. We asked our server if this was standard or if they mixed it up for being a split scoop. They said it was standard scoop. It was great but oh man for $5 for literally 2 bites that should at least not be in a paper cup and a wood spatula. Please give me a scoop served in a dish for that cost. We were there the other night and got a scoop to share and it was just peaking out of the cup(which we thought was reasonable for the cost) My partner and I felt ripped off and didn’t get compensated for the unreasonable portions the second time. The drinks were great but please have consistency with price to quality to service if you want returning customers. We won’t be returning just for this incident.
