Coppa Cafe and Bistro

Holy wow. Super unassuming storefront in a super unassuming strip mall (for God's sake, it was next to a "Supercuts" or something) but don't let that fool you; it was some of the must delicious food I've had with a sort pleasant waiter and unrushed food presentation. I had the spinach and mushroom risotto, cactus carpaccio, and a chocolate covered smore to boot. The carrots on the side of the main dish alone were jaw dropping. And I don't even like carrots!

Amazing little place with really interesting european varieties and stunning deserts - totally worth a stop while visiting NAU or Flagstaff!

The Ruben was really good! Cooked great and very tasty. The desserts were great and my favorite thing about this place.

This is a must for visitors of Flagstaff and locals alike! Both chefs (Executive and pastry) make you feel right at home in this quaint little place. Incredible French cuisine with the best pastries in town, try the chocolate croissant or macaroons if you don't believe me! Their lunch specials are well-priced, and the Reuben is a must. The dinner deals are reasonable in terms of portions, and the flavors are impeccable. I wish I could go every week, but we can't quite afford that...yet.

If you are looking for the best culinary experience Flagstaff has to offer, this restaurant won't disappoint. It is extremely small, so reservations are recommended. Although the food is 5 star, the experience is not. We were greeted and mostly served by an angry woman with a french accent. When other waiters and waitresses interacted with us, they were all very friendly. This woman, however, acted like it was a chore to wait on you. She neglected to tell us about the special of the day, nor describe it or let us know the price. We noticed it on a blackboard that was hidden behind the service area, barely visible. Entrees average around $31-$38, so it was a huge surprise to get the bill and see that the special I ordered was priced at $65 which should have been revealed at table before ordering. The atmosphere is severely lacking. It doesn't do justice to the food this chef produces. It was congested due to too many tables in a small space and the lighting was too bright. The tables and decor were "shabby" not shabby chic. It's too bad that the experience pales in comparison to the food. Our bill for two came to $156. When I spend that much money on dinner, I like to have the whole experience. I give the experience one star. I doubt we will return soon.

So, this is not a place that i can afford to eat at regularly. This being said, it would be nice to be able to. The food is good and interesting and honest. The service is good and better than usual for Flagstaff. The service did start to wain as the room filled up. When we arrive there was maybe 3 out of 10 tables full it later filled up pretty close to capacity. Two servers seemed inadequate. Like i said though, would be decadent to be able to dinner here more often.

Coppa Cafe is one of our favorite restaurants in Flagstaff! My husband and I come here quite a few times a month...mostly on weekends for lunch or the Sunday brunch. We also come with friends and family for special occasion dinners or when they do specialty nights. The owners, a husband and wife, are the chef and run the front of house. They are always so friendly and sweet to us when we come in and truly appreciate your happiness with their food creations. It is not a cheap lunch/dinner spot however you are paying for *fine* quality food and it exceeds the price you pay! The sunday brunch is so delicious!!! If you don't appreciate fine food and are generally a cheap person, then don't come here and complain. This restaurant is amazing and the owners take great pride in their dishes as well as their customers. Come for ANY meal, you will NOT be disappointed!!! :)

Had lunch there a few months ago and loved the Nicoise Salad with a glass of dry white wine. I sat on the back patio and the sunshine was wonderful. The waitstaff was not super polished, but for lunch I was okay with that. The food was outstanding! It is a secret gem in Flagstaff!
