Again, Arizona is so hot in the summer. Walking to this restaurant was a bit overwhelming but it was worth it. The chicken salad was delicious, however, I am not really used to extra spicy food. I think it was poblano mayo, which was a tad too hot for me. The bun was delicious and overall, I really wanted to eat it all but it was to spicy. The waitress was a sweetheart. She offered me a to go container even knowing I couldn't finish it. The fries were delicious! read more

Bistros originated in France, are typically small, intimate, and serve casual French food. Modern bistros don't necessarily need to serve French cuisine. They tend to serve locally inspired dishes that one wouldn't find at a typical fine dining establishment. Originally called the Hitching Post, HP Cafe was Upper Sedona's first diner, opening sometime in the 1940s on a now-busy AZ-89A. Upon arrival as first-timers via the side entrance overlooking a pleasant pedestrian plaza, my partner and I opted to sit al fresco at a high-top table on their patio that came complete with a soothing waterfall and heaters for the cooler months. The inside dining room featured low lights, real wood tables, red cloth napkins, soothing gray walls, and a brightly lit wine cellar illuminating various bottles. Our menu has nice varieties of a typical American breakfast with some Mexican in the mix. We decided on the HP French Toast and Day of Cowboy Hash. The food was authentic, fresh, and so flavorful with the right portions. I had the opportunity to exchange words with the owner, Judy. Bobbi was our server. She was friendly, efficient and gave us the best tip on where to take a great picture of the red mountain. Amazing breakfast in Sedona! read more

HP Cafe is a very pleasant, quaint little restaurant. We have been here before and had enjoyed the experience. All of the staff were very friendly and the Breakfast menu does offer a nice variety of options. I decided on the crab cake eggs Benedict and my wife had the Chilaquiles Rancheros. Unfortunately, the crab cakes were a little fishy. I wouldn't order those again. The Chilaquiles were good but on the hot side. They have an interesting little restroom that is not marked and is decorated to match the wall. It was pretty humorous watching the expressions of people looking for the door. We had a nice breakfast and enjoyed our time at HP Cafe. Yep, I will be back. read more

HP Cafe in Sedona was a good spot overall. I had the panini breakfast sandwich and it was really good, although i think they overdid it with the garlic butter. The rest of the food looked great too, and everything we tried was well prepared. read more

Just had a phenomenal breakfast and the $1 first mimosas! Fantastic food and atmosphere, and our waiter Manuel simply couldn't have been more personable and attentive. Don't listen to the Karen's out there, as we almost did. May be a 3.8, but should easily be a 4.8. Highly recommend! read more

We were one of 3 tables at around 8:30 am. The waitress made recommendations based on our questions. My husband ordered the Cowboy Hash with eggs over easy. The eggs were over cooked with burnt edges even though we were very specific about how we wanted them cooked. Based on her recommendation, I ordered the French Omelet. What I got, however, was an overcooked omelet that did not come close to being a French omelet. Every thing in my plate was tepid, at best. The server acknowledged that it was over done. She chose to serve our meal knowing full well that it wasn't right. She immediately started with the attitude when we expressed our dissatisfaction with the meal. She charged me for my meal, which I didn't eat, but gave us a paltry "discount. " I would not and could not recomend this restaurant. $75 is too much to leave hungry. At no time did a manager come and check on us. read more

Brunch here was amazing! I ordered the Chicken & Biscuit, which is essentially biscuits and gravy with a fried chicken breast, topped with a bit of hot honey and their bang-bang sauce. So delicious! Tons of flavor! My wife ordered the fruit board, which had thinly sliced fruits, banana bread and a cup of yogurt. The presentation was incredible. We each had a mango mimosa since they had a special where the first mimosa is only $1. Pretty good deal, I'd say. Highly recommend this place! read more

Fine dining! The HP gets 5 stars out of me!! Stumbled upon this restaurant after visiting a vortex and just needed time to take it all in! We found this restaurant when it was not too crowded (PERFECT) and by the time we finished eating it was understandably crowded! Their food is GREAT! The service was quick, friendly, and fast. I can tell with this one visit that this is a restaurant that goes above and beyond in the kitchen and for their customers. (Just look tat my photo of the tea set-up, it's the small things that matter)! I ordered the Bourbon Pecan French Toast (Just WOW). I also ordered a side of sausage and one scrambled egg. Because there's no meal, I had to order the sides a la carte which made it pricier but that's just what I wanted! They offer a lot of intriguing options on their menu. I ordered a caramel latte for my drink and it was just outstanding. I usually wouldn't mention a drink like this, but it is worth mentioning! Just delicious! I was tempted to order a second one. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves at this point. Also! What a cool hidden bathroom. Like I said, the small things matter and make your experience go a long way)!! Thank you, The HP!! read more

Found this restaurant after a long and cold hike in Sedona. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was PERFECT comfort food. Ordered the hot toddy, was also a good choice. Our waitress was lovely and food came out promptly. If I had more time, I can see myself ordering some drinks, playing cards and enjoying the afternoon! read more

As longtime West Sedona locals, we normally avoid the busy Uptown scene. But last Saturday, our usual favorite spot (The Vault) had an hour and 45-minute wait, so we wandered a little further and stumbled into The Hitching Post. To our surprise, it was completely empty, so we took a chance--and I'm so glad we did! Ambience-wise, The Hitching Post is cozy and sophisticated--small but welcoming, with a warm and relaxing atmosphere. They've also got a charming back patio, perfect for a peaceful meal outdoors with views of their beautiful fountain. If you'd rather people-watch along 89A, there's a small front patio too. It all feels very inviting and comfortable, whether you're out for a special date night or just want to unwind with friends. Turns out, The Hitching Post has a new chef: Roberto, the same culinary wizard we fell in love with at The Vault. No one cooks a steak the way this guy does--absolutely perfect, every single time. We started with the cactus dip appetizer, which had a creamy, savory goodness reminiscent of an artichoke dip but made with cactus--such a fun and delicious twist! For entrees, we had the filet mignon, cooked to a perfect medium rare and presented beautifully. I also ordered the bruschetta appetizer (a meal in itself--seriously, don't let "appetizer" fool you!) and a huge, fresh apple blue cheese salad. Everything was so fresh and delicious that I could barely make a dent in my plate. The cocktails deserve a special shoutout: basically happy hour prices all day long! My prickly pear margarita was $7--unheard of in this town--and Maria, the bartender (and our server!), was amazing. She added jalapenos and a tajin rim for a perfect kick. My husband had a palomino exactly the way he wanted it, also just $7. It felt like a hidden gem of a deal. And just when we thought the meal was over, Chef Roberto himself brought out a bubbling skillet filled with fresh-cut bananas and strawberries, what he described as their breakfast French toast turned dessert masterpiece--drenched in dulce de leche, topped with homemade gelato and whipped cream. It was insane in the best way. We're already planning our next dinner visit and bringing friends because people need to know: The Hitching Post now serves dinner Friday-Sunday, and it's spectacular. They're known for their breakfast and lunch (which we went back for--amazing!), but dinner is an absolute must. Plus, they offer a 10% locals discount, which is the cherry on top. If you're looking for a dinner spot in Sedona that's surprisingly under-the-radar right now--head to The Hitching Post. I promise you'll be glad you did. read more

Nice place. Good service. They apply a $4 charge for using debit or credit card which is high. Food was good. Presentation was excellent. Meal was an interesting twist on a bowl meal that was not expected but definitely worth the money. read more

Almost didn't stop here because the ratings are sub par, and what a mistake that would've been. My family and I stopped by anyway and man oh man, is the food absolutely delicious!!!! We got the cowboy hash, biscuits and gravy, and probably one of the best Chilaquiles dishes I've ever had! Ignore whatever crap some Karan's have written about this place, just come and enjoy yourself and leave with a very happy tummy!!!! read more

I took my family recently for a delicious breakfast on a cool clear, sunny Sunday in early December. This area of Sedona has so many places to try that it was more or less selecting a place at random, but I really feel we won the jackpot with HP Cafe. We sat outside, a table of 4 with our little dog and were greeted by a friendly staff, had a good waitress and hands down a good meal. The staff inside were upbeat, lively and fun for a Sunday morning and I can't help but wish we had a place like this at home. We had an omelet, the chicken biscuit (which could be a meal for 2, if not 3) and a sort of scramble in a skillet that I can't quite remember the name of. All were 100%, A+. There's a side area near the walking alley that would be a great place for a happy hour and the inside was bright and lively - finding the two bathrooms hidden in the walls were absolutely fun and something we all talked/joked about as we had our own experiences going inside one-by-one to discover them on our own. I wish there were more places like HP Cafe. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. I'd love to have come back for dinner if I had more time in the area. read more

Not much open early in Sedona. We found this place and walked right in. Only a few early birds inside. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. My husband ordered the French toast and I ordered Chilaquiles. He enjoyed his breakfast and I was beside myself as my dish was AMAZING! The fried tortilla chips, roasted red tomato salsa, cojita cheese with Mexican crema was the best I've ever had! The chef did an amazing job and whomever created this dish - kudos to you ! Downside was I couldn't finish it. This dish is large enough for two people to share. I can honestly say my number 1 location for chilaquiles has now been replaced with HP dish. We will be back! read more

This is going to sound very Sedona, but we ended up going here at the last minute because our Pink Jeep tour started much earlier than we thought. My top tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came for brunch last Sunday to get some sustenance before heading down the street for a scenic rim tour in the aforementioned jeeps. The menu looked pretty decent, so we gave it a shot even though it wasn't a restaurant that had come up in any prior research (which in hindsight isn't too surprising). The interior is pretty nondescript but we ended up getting a table in their outdoor area. They unfortunately drew the short straw with the view - unlike many of their counterparts, you have no glimpses of the red canyons; it overlooks a pleasant pedestrian plaza, which in almost any other circumstance you'd call a win. The seating also happens to be right next to a small coffee shop, which produced some pleasant aromas during our meal. I had a hankering for something sweeter and opted for, I believe, the Bourbon Peach French Toast, along with a side of eggs. Unfortunately they didn't have the peaches so I had to sub those out for strawberries but it was still decent. Definitely would have been better with the peaches; a little surprising they'd be out of a key ingredient during Sunday brunch in tourist season, but so it goes. It was a big portion though and I thought the "crust" of it was a unique texture, kind of like when you get those pretzel crusted seafood entrees. Unfortunately their website erroneously has an additional copy of their dinner menu for their breakfast menu (lot of little unforced errors like that) so I can't confirm the exact name. My chum tested out some mimosas on our vacation and this one was the most tepidly received. Honestly? I considered getting one myself but took a pass once we walked by their "bar area." It legitimately looked like the liquor section at a kegger, literally just a bunch of bottles grouped informally on a shelf. Really unprofessional optic and I thought it was a red flag/sign to avoid that section of the menu. Odd too, because by definition anyone who gets seated in the outdoor area or uses the restroom has to walk right by it. Not a good look. Speaking of the restroom, it was basically camouflaged in the wall (no signage or even a noticeable door knob). My chum used it first and the waitress had to guide her over to it. It's one if those things that sounds cool/interesting at first glance, but also totally illogical - every single time a customer needs to use the restroom, they need to be handheld through the location process, which takes up the bandwidth of your staff. It was like looking for a hidden room in Legends of the Hidden Temple. We both agreed that the eggs were the best part of the meal. Very fresh and delicious, and I'm glad I opted for a side of them at the last minute. Also a huge plus? We had a good waitress who stopped by regularly, and was very pleasant. This place has apparently been around for decades, which to me is a pretty big selling point in an area like this, but I think you have a lot of better options with significantly better views (and bathrooms you can locate all by yourself). read more

Dining with my family on vacation is a PITA. Wife is a super selective vegetarian who is allergic to multiple things. Kids are picky and barely eat anything ever. Came here because the kids were hungry. You know the drill - so they have chicken and/or mac-and-cheese? Got our food and nothing was wrong. Nothing was super exciting either, though. Kids are. Wife found something. Service was a little slow, but this stuck me as more of a laid back brunch place, not a place trying to hustle families with restless kids. read more

We are in Sedona celebrating my husband's Birthday, and we had breakfast here. This is a small restaurant with cute decor. Manuel was our server, and he was friendly amd efficient. I wasn't hungry, so my husband ordered a Red Rock Omlet and a coffee. He likes the omelet, and his food was delivered quickly. I found it a little on the dry side, but he liked it, so that's all that mattered . I found $31.00 expensive for one omlet and regular coffee. I know Sedona is expensive, but geeze! read more

Walking around Sedona we got hungry... fast. It wasn't quite lunchtime (11:45) so they only had their breakfast menu, but hubs wasn't too disappointed in one of their breakfast sandwiches. I had an omelet and the waitress asked if I'd like homemade salsa for it to which I replied, "Uh, YES." (LOVE me some homemade salsa!) This was some of the best salsa I've had at a restaurant! Their specialty lattes are also something to behold... Hubs got one of those and while there wasn't much alcohol in it and he doesn't really like hot drinks, he enjoyed it. And of course, we each had to get whipped cream... is there really any other way to enjoy a drink like that?? One of the wacky things about the space... their restrooms are hidden! Like secret passageways you can barely see. Honestly it was pretty cool... feeling like I was sneaking into some hidden part of the building... but I digress. Overall a great experience! read more

Fantastic food, great portions, wonderful service! Breakfast quesadillas were amazing!

We were looking for a lunch place in the older part of Sedona. A very nice woman greeted us and invited us onto their covered, cool deck for lunch and so we took her up on it. It's in the slightly less busy north side of the main Sedona downtown. We had a super nice server and a delicious lunch. We both had wraps. I had the vegetarian one which had some nicely sautéed veggies, avocado, hummus and some cold crunchy stuff on a spinach wrap. I asked if they cut their own fruit for a side and apparently they made some fresh for me!! That was so nice. The other wrap was a chicken on that was a little spicy and enjoyed as well. She had the fries for a side. The were crunch, well seasoned and delicious. And nicely sized portions. Not too huge! The owners and employees were charming and attentive and it was such a nice afternoon. We had a great time and a super meal read more

4/28/2023-We opted to go into Uptown Sedona for some light shopping a bite to eat for breakfast after visiting Chapel of Holy Cross. This place is a medium sized location that offers outdoor seating in the front along the Main Street and in the back as of the shopping area. We were immediately seated by a very friendly gentleman. The waiter that served us was very friendly and professional. I decided to try the Red Rock Omlete with Gouda cheese. There was an ample amount of the ingredients, especially the brisket. You won't go away hungry. My friends opted for Smashed Avocado & Hummus Bruschetta and a Southwest Classic Burrito. Everything came out fairly quickly and was very well seasoned and good portion sizes. My friends also ordered the mango mimosas, which they said only had a light hint of mango flavor...but everything overall was good. All the staff that we interacted with were friendly. 4/29/2023-We came back to this establishment again for an early morning breakfast since we had booked an early Jeep tour and they were to only place that we found that was open as early as 7:00 AM. Terri was our server and we were able to sit on the back patio. This time I opted for the piggy omelet that had bacon, sausage & ham. The staff is always friendly and the food is brought out quickly. read more

Came here for breakfast and was not disappointed. We were greeted by an older gentleman who was friendly and a little quirky (in a nice way). The place is casual with a modern touch. The food is classic with southwestern specialties. They have avocado toasts, egg bennies, pancakes, etc., and they have lots of southwestern specialties like chilaquiles (fried tortillas). We had: + Simply complete breakfast - can't get more basic than this. 2 eggs, skillet potatoes, sausages, and toast. All was good. + Chilaquiles rancheros - 2 eggs on top of crema and fried tortillas. This was really flavorful, a little spicy, and so good. You can even kick up the spice level with extra gunslinger sauce. Outdoor dining is in front of their restaurant with views of red rocks in the background. Soundtrack: 70's pop rock, Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, etc. read more

Cute, intimate place to eat. My mom and I stopped in for breakfast, late Saturday morning. The place was busy, but we lucked out and were seated right away. I ordered a vanilla latte, which was delicious! Great espresso taste, subtle vanilla, and lots of froth! I got the Chilaquiles Rancheros and my mom had the parfait. I wish my dish had more salsa and less tortilla chips, but the eggs were cooked perfectly (over easily). The parfait was tasty, but difficult to eat out of such a narrow vessel. Service was spot on. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and came back to check in us multiple times. read more

Hostess was very nice in greeting us. Our server Alejandro was very nice in explaining the menu and service. He remembered our orders from the day before. Food was great, very tasty and a good portion. The only reason why I'm giving a 4/5 is the prices. Some of the prices are not worth it. I got a bagel and small side of fruit and it was $19, where as the second day I got the Carne Asada Skillet for $22. The cream cheese for the bagel was $7!! I would definitely come back, only for the skillet! It was amazing. read more

Located on Route 89A in Uptown Sedona, HP Cafe is a solid choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner - featuring a casual ambiance, excellent service, and well executed and innovative dishes. We recently stopped in for an early lunch on our last day in Sedona. We had arrived at 1125am, just before the kitchen turned over from breakfast to lunch, but the hostess was willing to accommodate us and provided us with the lunch menus. I opted for the Brisket Po Boy with tender brisket smothered in sweet bbq sauce, shredded iceberg lettuce, and sliced tomato and red onion on a soft hero roll with a side of the crispy twice dipped fries. Very tasty and the portion was satisfying without being overly filling. My dining companion opted for the Smoked Salmon Cobb Salad prepared with fresh ingredients, which she thought was great in concept but served with a little too much citrus dressing and drowned out the other flavors in the salad. Service was attentive without being overbearing. We'd give it another shot for dinner next time we're in town. Pro Tip: The door to the bathroom is hidden in the wall next to the bar. read more
