"When Flagstaff restaurateurs Paul and Laura Moir closed Brix (one of Flagstaff’s first upscale modern American restaurants), legendary pizzaiolo Caleb Schiff (of Pizzicletta fame) snapped up the renovated space and decked it out even more, creating an elegant yet welcoming all-day hangout whose name means “stopover” in Italian. Locals drop in, often with laptops in tow, to work or relax over excellent coffees, baked goods, and breakfast items like the simple but superlative breakfast sandwich (egg, melted cheddar, herbaceous chimichurri, tomato, and arugula on sourdough). By early summer, there will be sandwiches for lunch, pastas and pizza for dinner. Save room for dreamy gelato and note that breakfast on the patio is bliss." - Nikki Buchanan
