Bright cafe & bakery with counter service doling out fresh pastries, soups, salads, coffee & beer.
Tourist Home Flagstaff Cafe is a bright, counter-service spot on San Francisco Street doling out fresh pastries, soups, salads, coffee, and beer to a steady stream of regulars and NAU families passing through downtown. With a 4.5-star rating from over 1,700 reviews, it's built a following well beyond a typical breakfast stop.
Reviewers consistently point to the chilaquiles (try the pork chile verde version), the chicken and biscuit with gravy, and the breakfast burrito with green sauce as standouts. The brioche French toast and a hash with roasted sweet potatoes and chorizo also get repeat mentions, along with fresh-squeezed OJ and coffee described as strong and well-brewed. Portions run generous, and service is consistently called quick and friendly even when the place is busy.
Expect a short wait for food during peak breakfast hours since dishes are made fresh, but it's the kind of place people build a Flagstaff morning around, especially before heading north toward the canyon.

This is my go-to breakfast spot any time I am in Flagstaff (live in Phoenix). I wish I had this place back home! Busy on the weekends but worth the wait. The staff is quick and friendly. Nice and comfy inside or sitting outside. The food is fantastic, I tend to get the T-home Benedict most often I’m obsessed. Hot vanilla latte is made to perfection. If they still have sprinkle crullers in stock GRAB ONE!

Family and I (group of 8) recently grabbed breakfast at Tourist Home Flagstaff Café. It was the day after NAU graduation (Saturday), and we were pleasantly surprised to find plenty of outdoor seating (probably a little result of too much celebrating the night prior). We had placed our orders inside and were sent away with a number on a stand for our table. The gal that waited on us was very patient and uber-friendly taking our orders – luckily there was no one behind us and she took the time to answer all of our questions. I feel like we’d only been seated just a hot second when the food arrived! Fabulous service – quick and friendly and always with a smile. Hubby and I each got a cup of fresh brewed coffee that did not disappoint! Not too weak, not too strong… brewed to perfection! My husband ordered the chicken and biscuit and I the chilaquiles Christmas style. Lord have mercy both of these dishes were the bomb! Not only plenty of food but super tasty – I had my chilaquiles with scrambled eggs and they also came with about ½ a freshly sliced avocado. Nice, tangy flavor and sprinkled with just the right amount of cotija cheese! Shared with the table and still had leftovers (and I’m not mad about it). Husband’s dish was perfection – the perfect biscuit combo – fluffy, chewy and crunchy in all the right places, and the gravy not overly seasoned or salty. Chicken was a breaded/fried (possibly baked) and cooked/seasoned just right. Inner meat was tender and moist and outside of course was crunchy – batter was well seasoned and breast didn’t seem greasy at all. I worked in a mom-and-pop coffee shop decades ago – everything was homemade and fresh and the coffee 2 die 4. This establishment brought me back to those times in regard to coffee/food quality and hospitality! Will 100p be returning when next we’re in town!

Great food and quicker than alot of places. Traditional breakfast and some unique twists on classics makes it great for anyone to find something they will like. Fresh squeezed OJ too. Shelby was a delightful server too. Well be back.

Our first breakfast here in Flagstaff and it was so good we came again. My husband loved his hash with roasted sweet potatoes and red and gold beets stir fried with chorizo and topped with scrambled egg and chimichurri. I loved the pork chile verde on my chilaquiles dish. The pork was so tender and not fatty. We came again and tried the brioche French toast, steak and eggs, another chile verde dish which was all very good. Only wish was the steak and eggs should’ve had more beef. Two of four of us ordered the steak and eggs so maybe they split it. Food does take a little while to come but worth the wait. We were too hungry to take pics the 2nd time we came. The French toast was light and fluffy and loved all the fresh berries on top. It was nice sunny days both times so we sat on the back patio away from the road. All ingredients are very fresh. I would definitely come back again.

My best friend and I went here for breakfast this past weekend, and it was amazing! The prices are definitely worth the food quality and portion sizes. The French toast and the mocha latte were wonderful, and my friend’s breakfast sandwich and London fog also looked great. I definitely recommend Tourist Home for a weekend outing downtown!
