Reviews Summary

The Toasted Owl Cafe is a beloved Flagstaff spot known for its unique, owl-themed decor and a menu that caters to various dietary needs, including excellent vegan and vegetarian options. Diners rave about the friendly service, quirky atmosphere, and standout dishes like the giant cinnamon rolls and French toast. While generally praised, some reviews mention potential hidden fees and that certain dishes might lack intense flavor.

"Its a rather unique establishment. The owl theme is charming and they have it advertised that everything is for sale.Like the mug? Take it home! The wall art? For sale. The food is great, definately a favorite breakfast location. Be careful with the hot drinks, the hot chocolate was like liquid lava on my first sip. Overall its a great place with fair pricing"

Kyle Shanahan

"We came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Loved the atmosphere and decor. The service was quick and great. We sat outside and it was amazing; the murals and eclectic decor were “fun”. Food was good. The star was the biscuits and gravy dish which came highly recommended by a friend."

Trish Wright

"We enjoyed our breakfast.

We got seated indoors right away (12:30 on a Friday). Turns out though that a group of six young women were seated behind us and their conversation was lively. We asked to move closer to the front door area. It was much better. And no shade to the young women, they were just catching up and having fun. Plus, the acoustics indoors is quite live.

Our server Kayce B was super nice. She brought us waters and coffees right away.

We'd already looked at reviews and knew we were splitting a Giant Cinnamon Roll and Breakfast Tacos with Roasted Potatoes.

We placed our order and the Giant Cinnamon Roll came out right away. It was sweet and tasty but it was not giant (see pic). Eat the cinnamon roll as soon as it's placed as it turns hard after about 10 minutes.

The meal came soon after. It was a lot of food and we're happy we split it. We had scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, ham and ham in our taco. They were served hot and with a cup of salsa on the side. The tacos were real tasty.

The roasted potatoes were amazing. So happy they were oven roasted and not deep fried. They were perfectly cooked. Nice and creamy inside and seasoned well too.

We have no plans to return to Flagstaff (been here a few times) but we recommend you give The Toasted Owl a try."

Breathing new life into an old wooden house on 12 Mike’s Pike is family-owned Toasted Owl Cafe, a beauty of a big blue cabin whose sun-drenched porch regularly hosts $3 mimosa-heavy brunches chocked full of good vibes. A little bit of everything can be found on their breakfast and lunch menus, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes. The founder, Cecily, has always had a fascination with art, and particularly owl art, therefore, you’re sure to find a wide variety of her funky-looking canvases and pieces throughout the building.

For a great breakfast go across the street from Mother Road on Mike’s Pike and you have the Toasted Owl a fun unique place to grab that weekend breakfast or a post bike ride lunch. I venture back down Phoenix and turn right on Beaver St. to drop into Beaver Street Brewery which has great food, and a great billiards hall that is usually a very busy spot during the school year. I’m partial to the Enchanted Forest which is a must try pizza at Beaver Street Brewery, and I also love their lunch special drop in, if you haven’t tried it.

This brunch hot spot, with its packed patio and thrift store-like interior, serves fat French toasts, loaded omelets, crispy house potatoes, vegan burritos, endless coffee and $7 all-day mimosas. But as one waiter recently put it, “If you come to Toasted Owl and don’t eat a cinnamon roll, you didn’t really come to Toasted Owl." Topped with a generous spoonful of glaze that melts down into the warm, cinnamony-sweet roll, this is the ultimate start to any day or end to any meal. And yes, it really is lumberjack big.

The Toasted Owl serves up the freshest breakfast in town at affordable prices. On the menu, you will find all your traditional favorites such as omelets, burritos, and pancakes, along with a few specialties (gluten-free and dairy-free ginger buckwheat pancakes, vegan corn cakes, and veggie burritos to name a few). The menu is very allergy friendly, so even if you have a picky eater in your party, they will do just fine here (they even have gluten-free toast and tortillas, so nothing is really off limits).

Top Flagstaff Vegan Restaurants

While not exclusively vegan, the Toasted Owl Cafe has designated vegan menus for both lunch and breakfast (served “owl day”), allowing for customizable plant-based options. A local favorite is the vegan cheese steak sandwich with grilled onions and bell and red peppers slathered with gooey white cheese on a crunchy Hoagie roll. But here’s the twist—the “steak” is actually savory sauteed mushrooms, a unique and delicious surprise.

6 Vegan Restaurants in Flagstaff to Try Tonight

So if you are in a group of people and the majority of you are meat eaters, but some of you have vegan dietary restrictions, then I think the Toasted Owl Cafe would be a great spot for you. Because although the other vegan places have meals that will be delicious evcen to non-vegan eaters, a lot of non-vegan diners just want a menu they are accustomed to. And that is what The Toasted Owl Cafe can do better than most places.

The Toasted Owl Cafe – Sometimes it’s the small things that count. At both Toasted Owl locations, south of the tracks downtown and on the east side on Cortland Blvd., they supply a small basket of toys the kids can play with while they are there. This might not seem super fantastic, but my daughter thinks it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
