Good Food, So So Service - Edit
Came here looking for a cozy place to eat and enjoy a cup of coffee. When we went in, it wasn't apparent whether we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. None of the employees greeted us, so we sat ourselves. After sitting for several minutes and looking over the menu I went up to the counter to order and was told to have a seat and that they would be right with us. Staff weren't rude, but weren't particularly friendly either. The waitress had trouble hearing our order over the music. We felt a bit rushed even though there were empty tables, so we left as soon as we finished eating without ordering coffee or anything. The food was good. The portions were a little on the small side but fair. Overall it was an okay place to grab a bite, but I wouldn't feel comfortable sitting down with a book and a cup of coffee and spending a prolonged amount of time here.
Pros: Good Food , Variety of drinks
Cons: Service , Uncomfortable chairs , Noisy

Fantastic food! - Edit
Amazing food and kind and knowledgeable staff. We had the basil and cashew macaroni, cheese and the nachos with all the trimmings. We recommend going if you are close by or driving through Flagstaff. 10/10
Pros: Great Service

Delicious, flavorful food - Edit
My husband and I were passing through Flagstaff on our way to Sedona, and we just had to stop for lunch. We found Whyld Ass Coffee Shop via the HappyCow app, and we were pleasantly surprised with the menu selection. It was truly difficult for me to pick a dish - they ALL sounded wonderful. I finally chose the falafel wrap, and my husband had the "cheesy" quesadilla. both tasted delicious. There is definitely something on their menu for everyone. Their pastries/desserts are gluten-free. They even have a full-blown juice bar menu and coffee smoothie menu. There wasn't a ton of seating, but the atmosphere was intimate and the server was very kind and helpful.
Pros: Diverse menu, Full juice bar, Gluten-free desserts

Farr Out Creations - Edit
The place embodies what they sell; tasty, unique and conscious. Daily menu is a must try. Fresh take on food. Vegan & organic. Great lavender latte and coffee kombucha.
Pros: there is nothing ordinary about the flavors and wi, kombucha on tap!
Cons: takes a second to decide

Not the best experience - Edit
Cute cafe and food WAS creative. However, we arrived and were not greeted for close to 15 minutes. The lovely chef informed us that the waitress wasn't in yet. She arrived and didn't greet us for another 20 minutes. We then waited over 40 minutes for our food to be delivered to our table (except for the tomato soup which arrived after we had finished everything). Given the wait, we ordered food to go as we ordered our meal but still had to wait for that. . . .and then we were charged for each takeout container (and food could have been consolidated easily). Overall very disappointing.
Pros: Funny name
Cons: Incredibly slow service, Unfriendly waitress

Don't miss this place - Edit
A real pleasure from the first bite to the last. Friendly guy named Keith explained the menu of the day to me. Tasty creative food, a beautifull menu with a lots of choices and juices and cafe. The best moment of my day. Really honest prices too. The kind of place i would bring my omnivorous friends without hesitation.
Pros: Friendly staff, good music

Great place for Vegan food - Edit
We stopped to pick up some dessert for our dinner guests and ended up staying for a plate of Nachos with Jackfruit. The Nachos were great! We bought several different pastries and I haven't had a chance to try them all but I really loved the fig blondies and the chocolate peanut butter brownies were unbelievable. Wish we had a place like this in my hometown.
Pros: Lots of options on the Menu, The owner is friendly, knowledgable and helpful, Tasty food
Cons: none, none, none

What a find! - Edit
Had to take a 2 hour run to take my tractor for repair in Flagstaff. Found the restaurant on Happy Cow.
We were so impressed with the food that we eat here every time we are in Flag now and try something new each time. We are even going to take the 2 hour drive to have dinner on my hubs birthday.
The bakery section is dangerous ...we always seem to leave with a box of extra goodies.
Pros: Excellent food, Good selection on menu plus daily specials, Friendly staff

Best spot in Flag - Edit
Upon arriving in beautiful Flagstaff for the first time, I was ecstatic to learn about the vegan scene. I had a breakfast burrito and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was fun and it was beautiful on the rooftop.

This place is so delicious - Edit
OMG the presentation, the colors, the textures, and of course the flavors were out of this world. The service was charming and knowledgable about what was served. I've been a Vegan for three years now and this is the best food I've had. Thank you for the inspiration.
Pros: Food is all soy-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, Food is delicious, flavorful, and so good, Service was excellent, very informative
Cons: Small shop, few tables and chairs, limited parking

Better than Gracias Madre! - Edit
Too bad this restaurant isn't in LA! My boyfriend and I took a short trip to flagstaff and ate here for breakfast 2 days in a row! Everything we have tried is amazing and the chef and staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is so well thought out and beautifully presented! And not covered in oil which I love. Lots of deserts too and amazing lattes. This place should be jam packed every day!
Come to LA!
Pros: healthy, whole foods based

AMAZING - Edit
Just drove through Flagstaff and stopped here, and I am so glad I did. I'm entirely whole foods plant based, and let me tell you, the food here was the best I've had anywhere. Ever. The deconstructed guacamole sandwich was fantastic. The menu is so expansive, it was all I could do not to order one of everything. The staff are really friendly and willing to explain anything. Everything is organic. They offer free taste samples, and have cookies, brownies, caramels, etc. for dessert. Seriously I could live and die here.
Pros: delicious food, not terribly expensive, friendly staff
Cons: none. seriously.

Not my type of food - Edit
I'm a vegan and didn't love what I got here. It was very plant-based. I mean everything tasted like veggies. It just isn't the type of food I like, but I can be a picky eater and others on here seem to really like it. I would've liked more beans in my quesadilla with soy cheese, but it tasted of only veggies. Everything seemed to be made from scratch which was awesome. There Mac was good, but it is also different than vegan Mac I've had. Overall, the people were very nice. They have tons of food options. I just wouldn't recommend if you aren't a huugee veggie lover.
Pros: Friendly Staff, Food made from scratch
Cons: Veggie flavor in everything

It was perfect! I want to live near there. - Edit
I visited on December 31, 2015 and I was a bit confused at first... I was fascinated by all of the sweets displayed that I didn't even notice the menu and was confused on what to do. I ordered the Cinnamon cake and a Roxberry Smoothie which was just soo delicious! I was going to order more but I was on a budget haha. I highly recommend this place if you love cake or smoothies. I have not tried any of the food on the menu but will do when I visit again. It is expensive but it's totally worth it! Although it was a bit dark, it was still perfect for me because that day it was cloudy and rainy. Anyways, the guy that took our order was super nice, really enthusiastic and very welcoming. So I love this Coffee Shop and is now my go to place every time I visit Flagstaff! Everything about this place is just perfect!
Pros: Delicious cake and muffins, Delicious Smoothies, Very welcoming

a blessing!! - Edit
after months on the road driving all over the US we have always been in a constant crave for good vegan food. after a few days camping and eating crap we made it to flagstaff and decided to give Whyld Ass a try. and holy cow they delivered. we both got the burrito and it was seriously one of the best burritos we have ever had and we live in NYC and are used to getting spoiled from amazing vegan food. this burrito wins all burritos hands down. we are going back for breakfast in the morning :)
Pros: awesome atmosphere , great prices all organic

Love this place! - Edit
I found WHyld off of HC and was excited to pass through Flagstaff last month. I had time constraints so had to grab the San Fran burrito for the road. It was original in flavors and ingredients, sweet potato hash, lentil sausage, etc. Crisped the tortilla and made it perfect to eat.
We're here again, using an excuse of looking for household goods, when the truth is, the food, vibe, and people make this place worth the 4 hrs drive from Vegas;) #homemade #whatveganseat #whatvegansdrink #organic #vegan #bakery #juicebar #lgbtq #flagstaff #az
Pros: Everything is vegan!
Cons: It's in Flagstaff instead of Vegas! No other cons!
