The Station Café and Lounge

Gluten-free paninis and espresso on the way to Snowbowl

About

On Fort Valley Road toward Snowbowl, The Station Café and Lounge covers Flagstaff's espresso stop by morning and shifts into a low-key beer-and-wine lounge as the day goes on. Reviewers consistently single out the gluten-free kitchen — the panini bread and cinnamon roll come up again and again as better than the standard version, not just a substitute.

What to order

Espresso drinks earn steady praise, with reviewers calling out a well-balanced cinnamon cream latte and creative seasonal specials from the bar staff. On the food side, the Lumberjack panini (corned beef with an onion sauce) gets repeat mentions, and the s'mores bar is a favorite grab-and-go treat. Once the coffee rush thins out, the space shifts into its lounge side with a local beer and wine list.

The matcha was amazing. I also loved the variety of gluten free bakery items as well as the coconut curry soup. Everything I ordered was delicious and high quality. I highly recommend!

Stopped here after a hike in nearby Buffalo Park. I had a breakfast panini. It was the best I've probably ever had! Perfectly toasted and flattened, egg and cheese. Iced latte to top it off! Reasonably priced which is something I can't say about the restaurants in downtown Flagstaff. So happy I stopped in! I'll be back!

Amazing spot (we had to go both days)! We just found it and it will be a go-to spot for every future Flag trip. Some of the best GF and DF food and pastries we’ve had!

Big disappointment & the only louzy food during our 2 week vacation. My sister ordered a Fort Valley and I had an I-40; neither had ANY flavor whatsoever; such thin slices inside the I-40 that there was barely any separation between the toasted bread, which was the only saving grace on both sandwiches.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! If I could eat here everyday, I would - and everyday I was in Flagstaff I did. They have an amazing gluten free selection, celiac safe and all! From breakfast sandwiches to desserts, to even some happy hour fun :) The staff are all friendly and the atmosphere is dreamy
