    Stopped in while passing through town. Fairly busy but they were working efficiently and kept the orders flowing. Our coffee order was perfect and delicious! Glad we stopped!

    This was our first stop on a nice day in Flagstaff. It was my first time seeing an affogato milkshake, so I had to try it. It was so good! Such a fun treat. The spot also has an outdoor seating area with tables and chairs, but since it was a bit chilly, we decided to sit inside. My friend and I grabbed a window seat where we could play cards, chat comfortably, and people and dog watch. It made for a really relaxing start to the day.

    Cozy coffee shop with friendly employees. I stopped by to get an iced vanilla chai and the cashier was super friendly. The drink was really good and it had a unique flavor. We found an open table and hung out for a bit. The cold AC felt really good and the seats were comfy. Bathroom was clean.

    Visiting Flagstaff for a mini getaway. Before heading back to Tucson wanted some coffee for the road. Late for the train made a great latte and staff were very friendly.

    The chai here is so good. I love a good hot chai that is house made. I ordered it with vanilla syrup and it was so cozy. It also came out so quick which was great especially for the amount of people in line. There's searing and bathrooms which is so nice. Great spot overall.

    Service was nice. It was quiet and noticed a handful of people working here. Decided to try the matcha (of course!) and it was probably my least favorite matcha I have gotten in Arizon, thus far. The color alone says it all but it just tasted like cereal milk. It was about $8 for this small size and honestly.. a bit of a waste. My BIL who is also a matcha lover also said the drink itself was just okay. He didn't even really want mine, which is crazy as he always has all the leftovers. BUUUUUT my sister got a jasmine tea with mango puree (or something) and it not only came out to only ~$4, my gosh it was yummy and tasty. I wish I had gotten hers instead haha. I'd give this place 2.5 stars if could

    We were staying at the Hotel Monte Vista and this was just right across the street, super convenient for early morning coffee stops. It is a very laid back vibe. They have inside seating and communal seating out in their courtyard. It was too cold and windy to sit outside this morning, so we took a spot inside. They have a great variety of coffee, tea, and specialty drinks to choose from. They are a local, independent roaster, doing small batch roasting. They are very proud of what they do and they are doing it well; there is a real love there sharing it with people, not just serving it. We got a hot chai with oat milk and it was so smooth and delicious. The flavors were balanced perfectly, quite enjoyable to drink. We paired it was a slice of lemon loaf and a slice of pumpkin loaf. Our friends got hot coffees and a breakfast burrito. The burritos were hefty! They have a microwave available too so you can warm up your pastries or drinks. I love that because sometimes you're there chatting away and before you know it, your coffee is luke warm, but you can just pop it in for a little bit and get right back to it. We will definitely return next time we're in Flagstaff.

    The service was really great here but the chai is so watered down and not pleasant to drink at all. I probably wouldn't be back to try anything else

    As we continue our adventure on trying all the best coffee shops in Flagstaff, late for the train was our next stop. Has one door specifically for entry and one door for exit. The tables has interesting designs on them. They are suppose to be famous for their chai latte and breakfast burrito. In the mode for a late so we tried the honey latte. It was good. They also sell some t shirts and love the material. Bought 2 , reasonable price.

    Love this local cafe. Looks deceivingly tiny and small from the outside, but once inside, it's massive with outdoor seating and chairs too. Service was excellent and had a good choice of coffee and pastries. Located in heritage downtown of Flagstaff and they have a good selections on their menu. Cheers!

    So tomato-y

    Perfect place to stop in for coffee or tea while walking Flagstaff. They have some local art on the walls which was nice to look at.

    The coffee was good and actually pretty strong. The staff had a homeless customer and they fed him for free and it was so sweet

    3.5/5 For Flagstaff,…read morethis bubble tea is alright. If you get a drink from here it will be a sweet day indeed! At first I was a little confused because I didn't see an actual bubble tea store, but it turns out the bubble tea shop has the same owner as the restaurant and grocery store. There are menus at the counter of the grocery store's check out counter where you can place your order. Sadly, one of my choices (The lemon black tea) was not available so I went with the mango tea instead and got a passion fruit tea with yogurt popping boba. The cashier said the passion fruit was her favorite flavor- alright! They make the bubble tea next door at the Chinese restaurant kitchen/drink area. It didn't take too long for my drinks to be made and they had those nicely heat sealed lids. The passion fruit drink was a little too sweet for me so I'll see if I can ask for it less sweet next time. Service was very friendly and nice. Since options are limited in Flagstaff for bubble tea and I want to support local boba business (And fuel my bubble tea addiction) I'll try more next time I'm here!

    This place is very dirty and despite there being coffee in the name there is only one coffee…read moreoption. Language barrier made it difficult to order. Smells bad here and the bathrooms are unsanitary. This place is a side business to the HOT WOK option next door. The boba had too much ice and was very hard to chew.

    I knew I was in trouble at Steep Leaf Lounge the moment I asked for coffee and the room got quiet…read more Coffee? No (well they do have one option) Latte? Also no (they do have tea lattes) Hot chocolate? Technically yes... but even that comes with Earl Grey tea inside. These folks are deeply, passionately committed to one thing: dried leaves steeped in hot water. And honestly, they do it well. If you're a tea lover, this place is your Disneyland. The selection is impressive, the vibe is relaxed, and the people behind the counter clearly care about what they're doing. There's a real enthusiasm here for the craft of tea, and that kind of passion is always fun to see. That said, my one issue was a pretty important one on a cold Flagstaff day... My tea showed up lukewarm. Now normally I'm a pretty forgiving person... but when it's 40 degrees outside and tea is the entire business model, this feels like a pretty big detail. When tea is the whole menu, temperature isn't a detail... it's the headliner. I like the concept. I respect the passion. It's just a bit limiting for my taste, and the execution missed slightly on the most important note. Three stars. A cool idea... that just needed to be a little hotter.

    I enjoyed visiting this tea shop in Downtown Flagstaff. Steep Leaf Lounge is very cozy and…read morerelaxing. Even though I am more of a coffee drinker, I have a deep appreciation for tea. They have so many flavors of tea to choose from. It is fun to look at all of the tea infusers, pots, cups and the variety of bulk tea that they sell here. They also have pastries and desserts to pair with your tea. I got a Carrot Cake with a London Fog on my most recent visit and enjoyed my time here. Steep Leaf Lounge hosts events from time to time.
