**July 2026: Tuesday and Wednesday Morning** I usually make it a point to try new places when I travel, so the fact that I ate at Forêt FLG twice in the same trip should say everything about how much I enjoyed it. I was initially drawn in after hearing that Chef Sam Greenhalgh was a semifinalist for the 2024 James Beard Award (Best Chef: Southwest), and I was curious to try his food for myself. On my first visit, my friend and I ordered the Canelés de Bordeaux, Pain au Chocolat, Soft Scrambled Egg Plate, and Breakfast Burrito. We came back again for breakfast and tried the scrambled eggs toast and a savory waffle. Everything we had was delicious, but the Soft Scrambled Egg Plate was truly something special. The eggs were unbelievably light and fluffy, paired with perfectly buttered, toasted bread that somehow felt magical in its simplicity. The heirloom tomatoes and creamy avocado added such a fresh, balanced touch. It's a simple dish, but the execution was exceptional--and honestly, that's what makes it so memorable. I know it sounds a little crazy to return twice for something so simple, but it was just that well done. The breakfast burrito was a strong second favorite. We took it to go as we continued our road trip toward the Four Corners Monument, and it held up really well. It was packed with flavor, and I especially loved that the tortilla had a nice crisp to it. The pastries were also excellent--flaky, buttery, and everything you'd hope for--but for me, that scrambled egg plate is the standout and something I would come back for again and again. read more

Order at Front Counter, they deliver to your table, CS is Great! Pretty loud, especially when young adults are crying or screaming! Right on Route 66, love the area, very eclectic. Roast coffee and Latte's are excellent! Food wait could be excessive of 30 minutes but it is made fresh! Don't be in a RUSH or HANGRY! Breakfast is SUPERB! read more

Went on a coffee tour one Saturday as I was in Flagstaff by myself for a bit. Probably the most balanced Cortado poured in Flagstaff. There are several spots that make them, but I had three Cortado's the weekend I was there and then a flat white (which was outstanding, more on that in a different review). The was a line to get in as Foret opened. Importantly it was poured in glass, the microfoam head was solid, the roast balanced. So let's say Foret is the current Cortado champion of Flagstaff until I find another. read more

Cute place. Sitting outside was nice because it's a quiet street. They didn't have a plain croissant so I got the Texas toast , egg and cheese. It was huge! The toast is so good. My bf had the egg, cheese, bacon burrito and enjoyed it. We got iced lattes- and those were ok. read more

If you come in on a weekend be prepared to wait 45min + for food. They do have seating indoors but it is limited and on the smaller side. The ambiance is very cozy. The outdoor seating is dog friendly (indoors is not) but the outdoor seating is also small with metal tables/chairs The smoked maple shaken espresso was divine & might be a seasonal menu item & I also got coffee beans to go and have loved the taste of the coffee at home too! The BEC was a no go for me because the eggs were super runny but the croissant itself was delicious! We also tried the sweet croissant waffle and loved it. Everyone we encountered were super friendly and we'd definitely come back again! read more

Great customer service that shined through the minute I walked in. Immediately greeted at the register and asked how I was doing. We opted for a hot vanilla oatmilk latte and a Matcha Americano. We got both of these to go. The vanilla latte didn't have any sweetener or vanilla in it. I'm not sure if they maybe put a little bit but nothing really pulled through. The coffee itself was extremely strong, which is not a bad thing considering we were on our truck back home so it's a good thing to stay awake. The ceremonial Matcha was very light in the Americano. I'm not sure what their measurement is, but it could have used another half a teaspoon, at least. The patio is dog friendly and there was a pup out there already at 8:30 AM on a Saturday. Inside, they have beautiful hanging plants and ample room if you're coming here to study or to catch up with some friends. read more

This is a great coffee and breakfast spot. They have great vegan and vegetarian options. They also have seasonal drinks that are super good. Their matcha is my favorite in town read more

The flavor of the food was amazing. One bite and your taste buds were dancing the happy dance. The ambience is so warm and inviting...background music is just right of enjoyment. Would definitely visit next time in the area. The service and staff are nice and attentive. read more

Another delicious meal at Foret. I had the soft egg scrambled plate with the cereal milk & matcha drink. My dad got the breakfast Sammie and an orange juice. He said that was the best sandwich he had and puts his breakfast Sammie's at home to shame! read more

Great local eatery in Flagstaff - stopped by for breakfast, and ordered the soft scrambled egg plate and sausage & potatoes ... both were they were very good. Street parking (pay) is available, with both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Staff were friendly and welcoming. read more

After a work retreat we headed into town looking for breakfast at Forêt. They have a different setup, a bit classic when it comes to ordering. It's a walk up and order, take a number and find a table. My gf and I asked the girl at the counter about her favorite dishes, coffees. I got the Toffee coffee and she got a mocha coffee (can't quite remember the actual names). Based on the her rec we went with savory croissant waffle. I added a the breakfast burrito. The waffle may be the best waffle I've had. There was prosciutto in the the middle with some spinach, toasted pistachios, Swiss cheese and a maple syrup glaze. There were two poached eggs on top that made it a good balance. The breakfast burrito was good size that we only a little bit. Mostly because we wanted to check out another spot too. The burrito had barbacoa, scrambled eggs, potatoes a house salsa and cheddar cheese. It was still good the next day. Next time in Flagstaff we'd definitely go back read more

Best breakfast in Flagstaff. Delicious coffee and counter service food. Short on money? Get the $10 egg croissant but the croissant waffle is incredible. Obsessed with their salads. James Beard nominated for good reason. read more

Fast casual experience, food was delicious, though took longer than the 30-40 minute wait time they quoted us. We ordered coffees and a matcha and got a second round before our brunch was delivered. Lovely patio, nice ambiance on a beautiful day. Parking was easy and convenient too! read more

Ending my Flag trip here was the move. After a few questionable service moments elsewhere, this spot brought everything back to center from A-Z. Front of house was warm, attentive, and completely on it, the kind of hospitality that sets the tone right away. Food came out quickly without feeling rushed, and every plate delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The steak was cooked perfectly (chef's kiss), and the chimichurri had that bright balance. The prosciutto in the Savory Croissant Waffle was a star. Also, shoutout to a place that can genuinely do both coffee and food well. That's rarer than it should be. I'd happily come back just to sit with a latte and a chocolate croissant. Elite-worthy stop, no question. read more

Cute small coffee shop in downtown flagstaff that also offers breakfast menu. We stopped in on a Saturday morning before hitting the mountain and it was definitely busy. The coffee is good but definitely strong. Not my cup of tea but if you live string coffee, this is your spot. But be prepared to wait as we water almost 30 minutes to order and get our drinks all together. read more

Welcomed with smiles, clean, and received our meal in a reasonable amount of time. That was all fine, but my Avocado toast was AMAZING!!! I almost feel silly saying that.

Not only is Forêt an excellent breakfast/lunch option when in Flagstaff, their service is absolutely top notch! Always a favorite stop when in town After accidentally leaving behind a personal item and the ensuing panic, I returned after close to find my belongings safe and sound with their fantastic staff. I can't thank you all enough for your extra time, keeping my things secure and for the grace and understanding! read more

Food is great and service is very attentive and friendly - second time visiting will come back again when in town...

Wow! Talk about being totally underwhelmed. $$$ Spendy for ... what? $32.24 for one waffle, and one burrito, no drinks. Took 23 minutes for one waffle to make it to the table. It's now been 35 minutes, my husband has finished his single waffle, and the burrito still hasn't arrived. What an embarrassment for Flag. Such a shame. PS on the way out, we left before the burrito arrived, my husband spoke with the owner. Sam said "oh it's coming out right now", right after a server approached the table to tell us that the burrito went to "another table". Visitors should note that your hotels buffet breakfast will be cheaper than 1 single waffle from Foret. Let that sink in. An entire buffet breakfast is CHEAPER than one solitary waffle from Foret. And, I would bet, the service would be faster, too. You have been warned. read more

Waited for over 45 mins to get our food and there were not even that many people. Don't why the restaurant was so inefficient, and the food was just okay, they were good but consider about the serving speed and the prices, I don't think they deserved the long wait. We came there in early 9:00 but there was no savory croissant waffle already, and the menu was very limited. read more

I like it here! My first time. I got a hot latte with regular drip coffee. Rosalind brand from Oregon. I've visited Oregon and they are serious about their coffee! My latte was smooth and delicious. I wanted to try one of the croissants or cannellini but sometimes in the early am, I just drink coffee the first couple hours. Cute dogs were sitting on the outside patio. I was looking forward to the bumping club music mentioned in the other reviews but it was actually a nice easy listening mix of Sade and other calm instrumental type music playing. It's nice and spacious inside, I kept thinking what a great place to have one of those 5am raves happening at local coffee spots in NYC etc read more

I was on the hunt for a good matcha latte and a friend recommended that I swing by Foret and I was not disappointed. I saw a Thai Tea Matcha listed as one of their specials and I was all in. I only waited a few minutes for my drink, the staff was very efficient. They had some bakery items and a full kitchen as well, I would love to come back and try their food some time. There was plenty of seating inside and even a few tables outside. The decor inside was very vibey and there was even some local art for sale inside. In case you're looking for a fun activity, there is also a thrift shop next door! read more

Flagstaff, AZ. It was a late morning and not too busy when I stopped by here for breakfast. There is ample street parking but it is all metered or regulated by a machine that takes your money. I was told there was free parking but I did not see any, there was no signage to indicate this or perhaps all those spots were taken. I was pleased that they gladly substituted the almond milk, that normally comes with the granola, with regular cow milk. The granola was great with rolled oats and plenty of nuts, including pepitas and sesame seeds. Some dried blueberries and apricots mixed in and topped with fresh strawberries made this one of the best granolas I've tried. A nice finish on the tongue of maple syrup made this a splendid dish. The Seared Brioche was amazing. With citrus curd and ricotta, topped with fresh fruit and a hint of mint, it was a taste sensation. The light dusting of powdered sugar made for a great presentation. The Canele's were awesome. I ordered a latte also and it arrived at my table in about 15 minutes. At first I was disappointed to see that it was in a glass cup but soon realized it was an insulated glass cup that retained the heat nicely. Well done. It was an ok latte, nice flavor but rather weak. About 5 minutes later I asked a server about our breakfast. They went to inquire and returned to tell me that it's "Only" been 15 minutes and will be out in 10 more (This Did Not Happen). Soon after I noticed two tables near me who were seated much later than I, were getting their orders. I think all of us know when it's been too long to get your food but when this happens it's easy to conclude something is amiss. After the two other tables finished their breakfast and my latte had been long polished off, our breakfast arrived. Painfully late but delicious. read more

I liked Forêt FLG a brunch! My husband and I spent the weekend in Flagstaff back in June and decided to stop by Forêt FLG for brunch before heading home. When we arrived, the atmosphere was lively, but there were still a few tables available. We approached the counter to place our order and were promptly greeted by a friendly staff member. They informed us that there was going to be a wait, which wasn't an issue for us since we weren't in a rush. We appreciated the heads-up. We ordered the following: Eggs Benedict Yukon Gold Hash Bowl with an extra egg Oat milk lattes The Yukon Gold Hash Bowl my entree of choice. It featured seared potato, local mushrooms, pickled chilis, white onion, radish, toasted garlic, sesame seeds, roasted tomatillo salsa, and a fried egg (I added an extra egg). It was incredi-bowl! Not only was the dish beautiful, but it was also full of flavor. I enjoyed all the different textures and flavors. My husband liked his Eggs Benedict as well. Although I didn't try it, it certainly looked enticing. Our iced oat milk lattes were also delightful. I highly recommend Forêt FLG! read more

Customer service was elite. There was confusion by my wife with the order. When it was delivered, she expressed the discrepancy with the order. They gave her a different meal without any questions asked and refunded the difference. The food was fresh and high quality. read more

Forêt FLG has long been on my list of places to try and I finally did it this morning! Oh it was glorious! Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for food that is super fresh and made with the utmost care. I told the person at the counter it was my first time and she happily gave me the run down of the menu and gave recommendations for what is popular and what is rotating right now. I landed on the weekly special sando- bacon & onion peperonata, spicy Calabrian aioli, mixed green salad, and fried egg. When I tell you that something could pack so much flavor into it, I'm not exaggerating. I kept looking at it in amazement of the all the yumminess I experienced with each bite. I ate the whole damn thing, and I loved it! The eggs benne and croque madame were recommended as ordered often but pretty heavy meal. I would have shared those but I was eating solo today so breakfast Sammy was perfect. The place is super chill and casual cafe vibe with incredibly friendly staff. There's indoor and patio seats. I loved it so much and look forward to next time I can come back! My coffee was perfect btw- I got the seasonal brown sugar pecan latte- half sweet with add espresso shot. And of course I had to try a bakery item, ordered the chocolate chip and salt cookie. So good! Great job Forêt FLG, you were everything I was hoping for. read more

Sooo, I've been back to Forêt a couple times since my first visit when they were new. Based on the most recent visit this past weekend, I have to rescind my existing 5 star review :( Parking situation I already knew was not great, so I took a spot in a pay lot I saw driving in, a few blocks from the restaurant. Paid $10 for 2 hours. It's about 8:50 on a Sunday morning, as I'm walking up I see outside patio is already full. It may have been a little too cold for me anyway, open the door and wow, inside is looking pretty full as well, but I see one table and some high top bar seats open. It's only a short line to order, but I wait anxiously hoping the one table stays open, since I've paid to park so long I may want to linger. I place my order, which is somewhat exorbitantly expensive: $14 scrambled egg plate +$3 mushroom add-on +$3.50 black drip coffee, comes to $23 for a ratherrrr basic breakfast, but I know the quality is top, so, it's a treat. Then, the cashier points me to a dreadful flip sign: 45 minute wait for food. :','( Girl, I'm 6+ miles of trail running in so far this morning, I need my refuel :','( But I've already paid $10 for parking, and there's not anywhere else I particularly want to eat on this side of the tracks today. Thank goodness the one table is still open since, I'll certainly be lingering... on the front end... As I'm sipping my good but cooling drip coffee, I see the flip sign change to 60 minute wait for food. My stomach howls. Does 45 still apply for me. I become saddened that apparently this is so typical they have invested in this flip sign. Everyone ordering is devastated too. I'm thinking of all the things they could do to make this a little less painful but they don't seem to care - like how about 15% off a pastry to nibble on while you wait, cutting up a cookie and delivering a sample bite to hungry customers, offering some other type of cup to keep my coffee hot. But nothing. Sigh. Wait ended up being about 50 minutes. Other thing I noticed, the plate was supposed to have baguette slices and presumable they ran out and gave me one meager but very tasty piece of toast. It was all tasty. 5 star scrambled egg plate. 2 star experience. Please Forêt, is this really the way you want to run. Maybe it makes money now (?) but customers are only going to tolerate that wait time so many times. That's what they're going to remember of their experience. Please consider fixing the problem... investing in a proper kitchen setup, getting the right staff count for your size of establishment, etc. read more

Came in on a Wednesday morning really ready to fall in love with this place based on the average review score and photos, but there was a series of issues. My conclusion is they might be a victim of their own success and/or not care any more. Looking at all the positive reviews that also mention issues, I think people just want to love this place, ignoring what is bad, but I will try to give a fair review and constructive feedback. It took 45 min from the moment I stood in line until I got my food, which was just one avocado toast (5 min waiting in line, 40 at the table). Other patrons seemed to be unhappy with the long wait and people were leaving complaining, so I'm not taking it personally but still an issue. It didn't seem that busy, just understaffed with no sense of urgency. The order taker was unfriendly and impatient. I also got a cappuccino which was terribly bitter, brought out without a super long wait. Nice presentation in a reusable mug, on the positive side. In the end I inhaled the toast, but I realistically think I would like it even if I wasn't super hungry. I would make a mental note to come back to have it again, but I don't think I will, and I can't recommend this place based on my one visit. read more

Excellent pastries, very similar to Europe as they are not too sweet. Butter is the star rather than sugar. The affogato is an absolute *must* - the evoo gelato comes from pizzicletta, and it was so good we went there for dinner. The toffee latte was a bit weak, however. Lots of tables here inside and out but they stayed pretty busy even though we were there rather late for breakfast. Bustling place. Seemed like more crunchy locals than what we had seen other places. read more

I'm so disappointed that now (a) the menu has changed, and (b) even if you order on the same ticket, everyone at your table will likely get their food at drastically different times. Forêt had the best (and maybe only) croque madame in town, but now their menu consists only of good quality, yet very simple dishes that still take just as long to be prepared. I visited recently with a family member and ordered the sausage and potatoes, while they ordered soft scrambled eggs. They did warn us of the 45 minute wait time, but what we didn't expect was for my food to arrive nearly 20 minutes before my family member's food. This seemed common across the restaurant; if multiple people ordered the same dish in a 30 or so minute span, they all received their dish at the same time as if the chef prepared them in bulk. However, this meant that unless everyone at the table ordered the same dish, most people at the same table couldn't actually eat together. It also meant that folks several people ahead of us in line received their food long after we got (some) of ours, etc. Overall, it makes for a pretty frustrating experience, and I'm sad to say I'll hesitate to return here in the future. read more
