    Side of blue corn tamal, side of jackfruit tamal and side of beans
    Evie S.

    I really enjoyed the blue corn tamal and the jackfruit tamal. Both came with red chilli sauce, topped with veggies. Nice presentation even for the side tamales. The tamales were much smaller than other tamales I have had. I was also pretty underwhelmed by the beans, just whole beans, not much flavor in them and very expensive. I found the prices to be very high for the serving sizes in general. The counter service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Simple in terms of atmosphere and I don't think they had AC.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a nice day so we sat outside at one of the two tables they have upfront.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had some political items and stickers on the counter. Regardless of whether I have a similar opinions, different opinions or just see the complexity of various issues, I don't like when restaurants and other businesses have political items displayed. For me, that deducts from a relaxing restaurant atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did really enjoy the flavor of the tamales and their presentation and I like that this restaurant serves a full menu of vegan food. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

    Breakfast tamale plate

    Healthy vegan food with a smile! The staff are so nice and the food is homemade right there including all of the yummy desserts which are gluten free and healthier due to the use of natural sweeteners such as sweet potato in the chocolate brownie. I came for breakfast and had the breakfast tamale plate which was jackfruit with a spicy red sauce and scrambled tofu "eggs" plus pinto beans, very filling from all of the protein.

    If the biscuits and gravy are on the specials board when you visit, TRY IT. Omg. I ordered the $15 gluten free and vegan biscuits and gravy with potatoes and was SHOCKED that this gravy tasted like the regular pork and gluten-filled gravy. I was born in Texas. I know what this dish tastes like as I've had it a zillion times before my Celiac diagnosis. This version was better than the regular versions and the potatoes were great (and cooked separately not to be cross contaminated with gluten.) You might think it sounds suspicious and that they're using the real pork or wheat flour to make such a good gravy. No - again, I have Celiac disease and if this gravy or the biscuits had gluten, I'd be doubled over sick, not writing Yelp reviews in bed. I also had a $7 Golden milk latte with certified gluten free oat milk. I forgot to specify unsweetened and was so relieved that it came unsweetened. It makes me think they're making it from scratch unlike every other place that uses powders. My husband got a $4 cup of coffee but he should have ordered breakfast. They have some outdoor seating as well as a few booths, but don't come expecting to bring a group, it's tiny! If you're in Flagstaff and need some gluten free options, come here! Visited August 2023

    It was a small gem for sure. The music in the background fit the feel but I was not a big fan of it. Friendly greeting from behind the counter. We came because of all of the GF options and to try something different (support local). Simple menu with practical choices which is nice if you're tired of seeing a million items that may or may not be done well. We orders blue corn pancakes and the French toast with bregan sausage on the side. Matcha tea and a vanilla latte. All of it tasted good just a little cold by the time we got time it got to our table which was disappointing. Probably a spot we will eat at only once or twice a year. If you're gluten intolerant or vegan, you can't go wrong choosing Morning Glory.

    This is such a lovely gem of a place. We had breakfast there on a quiet Sunday morning, and the staff were just so friendly and laid back. We felt truly welcome. And the food was worth it! I had the blue corn pancakes, and they were everything I dreamed of and more. I even brought home some pancake mix to try to recreate the magic. I washed it down with a lavender lemonade, which is the perfect flavors normally and was totally magical this time. My husband created his own breakfast from sides, and even though that is probably not most cost effective, he got a huge plate of delicious food that was so fresh and healthy. He had a superfood smoothie with it, subbing almond milk for OJ, and that was exceptional as well. Great food, great atmosphere... this is the kind of place I would love to be a regular.

    Vegan breakfast scramble burrito
    Laura C.

    I'm so grateful for Clarice and Denis staying open for me to grab a vegan burrito on my drive through Flagstaff! I'd been on a long journey from New Mexico all day trying to get home to Southern California for Christmas Eve and I'm so grateful for the hospitality and kindness they greeted my boyfriend and I with on our entrance. The walls were decorated with beautiful art inside and I felt so happy I got to have delicious and heartfelt cooked food to take back on the road with us.

    Very kind welcoming staff and delicious healthy vegan options. We dined here two days in a row while we were in town visiting campus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is decorated with a theme of global mindset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The portions are small for the cost but you won't leave hungry. Would definitely recommend.

    Front of business

    There are not many places that you can find where the food is delicious, nutritious, and makes you feel good. Well, look no more! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is cozy, the staff welcoming and kind while offering a sense of community that is dedicated to helping other's.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Eat here, you won't be disappointed.

    Cute local spot. Made with lots of care and attention! Lots of healthy and vegan fare, and delicious. Fresh ingredients, huge portions. Bus your own table, bathroom through the kitchen. Could use a facelift and a deep clean. Service is a bit slow, but it was only one lady in the kitchen.

    As a Mexican, it's super hard to find good, authentic Mexican food in Flagstaff. Lots of "locals"…read more() will lead you astray with their recommendations however, Madrez is the spot to be!!! I've eaten here countless times and I'm never disappointed. They serve breakfast and lunch and have a variety of dishes, including vegetarian options. Their waffles are incredible as are their burritos, skillets, tostadas, and gorditas. Breakfast always comes with a side of whole beans (flavored with ham hock) which are super fresh. I can truly say there's nothing bad on this menu! The staff is always super welcoming and friendly and the ambiance is refreshing. It's a smaller space and it does get pretty busy, so be aware of that. The best part is that the cafe is family owned, with roots in Playa del Carmen, MX. I HIGHLY recommend Madrez if you're looking for a delicious and authentic Mexican brunch spot. Support local!

My partner and I ordered a chorizo burrito, a skillet poblano, and a plain waffle. While everything was just okay, it honestly felt like something we could have made better at home. I especially wouldn't recommend the waffles -- they were very airy, almost like toast, and at $14 they just didn't feel worth it. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it's not somewhere I'd return to.

We had a standard queen room both times and it's spacious, bathroom has two sinks one in and one out so yconvenient for two people sharing. The pool is a roundish shape but large enough to swim some laps when there aren't a lot of children there. There are four 2 level inter connected buildings and #4 being the furthest away from the lobby - you can park your car (parking is free) close to any building but it's a bit of a walk on foot. Location is a bit out of town not walking distance to downtown Flagstaff. Rating it a 3 star due to service. On a day when they don't seem to be full they still wouldn't accommodate a late check out by just an hour (at noon instead of 11 am) which I didn't think would have made any difference to them but would have made a huge one for us. Then there is the breakfast. Nice dining room and all, but service was slow and the food came lukewarm, this at a time when it was early and hardly anyone in the dining room. And in addition to that, I had tea and it came in a tea pot with one weak tea bag, and as I like my tea strong I asked for another tea bag in the same pot and was told I'd be charged a second pot of tea ($5). This kind of stinginess just doesn't befit the seeming stature of such a hotel. And finally, the teacup they gave me had a long crack in it - I discovered it when i saw the saucer filing up with tea and didn't think I spilled any in it. The crack was old and stained, not a new one, so it was shocking that no staff had noticed it for this long and cared enough to not continue using it. Let's just say I'd never encountered broken cups like this in lesser priced motels. For this trip to Flagstaff I also had a two-night stay in another hotel downtown and other than the swimming pool, it was much better value and more comfortable with more helpful staff - and no broken tea cups!

If you're planning on breakfast for dinner, you'll need to adjust your expectations. That said, the dinner more than made up for it.

The runny yolks made an already excellent steak even better. The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient without feeling rushed. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it an easy choice whether you're a local or just passing through Flagstaff. Northern Pines has clearly earned its reputation for quality comfort food.

We were intrigued enough that we visited MartAnne's the very next night for dinner. That was on a Tuesday at around 6PM and it wasn't too busy the entire time we were there. House Horchata ($5.99) - This drink comes in a giant 32 oz Ball jar with tons of ice. Per the server it's made with milk and condensed milk, no rice milk at all. It's rich, thick, creamy, sweet, filled with earthy notes of vanilla and cinnamon. There's so much spice included that at some points, there's almost a gritty feeling while drinking. It's perfect for a hot day after hiking. Buckwheat Pancake ala carte ($4.99) - Buckwheat pancakes are something we've never seen before on a diner menu in the past. It seems to be pretty common around Arizona, so we had to give it a try before leaving Flagstaff. This one's pretty big, almost plate sized. It's really moist, fluffy, bouncy, and light with a slight sweetness and a certain earthy flavor. It's moist enough that it sticks to the ceramic plate it's served on. The pancake is somewhat crumbly due to the low gluten content of buckwheat, although I believe they use a mix of buckwheat and wheat flour to give some more stability. It's bluish grey in color with black specks of ground buckwheat throughout. It's dusted with powdered sugar, but it's not a ton, making the pancake not really sweet at all. The pancake comes with a small cup of their cinnamon honey butter. It's not mixed that well, leaving it mostly unhomogenized with streaks of honey and spice through the softened salted butter. Tamale ala carte ($4.99) - MartAnne's offers two types of tamales - the first a red chile beef, and the second a green corn and cheese. We went with the latter, which is a homemade tamale with a somewhat looser, coarsely ground masa shell surrounding an interior of yellow sweet corn kernels, a bouncy and somewhat spongy block of Oaxaca cheese, and a fragrant green chile. There's a slight sweetness throughout and the tamale overall is easy to eat. Chilaquiles, Xmas, Fratelli ($17.99) - This is a monster sized plate of a mishmash of ingredients. There are three things as essentially a base layer. Firstly some Mexican rice that's tender, moist, and fluffy, totally unlike the more common dry and and compact version. My guess is that they skip the initial frying step that helps keeps the starch together. It's quite fragrant and has gives a bit of heat. On top of the rice is a layer of hash browns. The potatoes are tender on the interior, griddled on one side to give a delightful crunch, although there's some acridity that develops. Another third of the plate is covered with chili beans - tender pinto beans that are well salted and seasoned. Then there's the eggs stuffed in between layers of corn tortilla chips, smothered with sauce. I went with the Christmas combination of red and green sauce, followed up by the Fratelli-style pork green chile. The green sauce is fragrant and vegetal, while the red sauce is more smoky. The pork, which is cut into chunks, on top is a bit tough and dry but there's more than enough sauce to make up for that slight demerit. Finally, there's a small mound of I believe jalapeno peppers, cut into small neon-green colored pieces. Some pieces are spicy, some are mild, all have a vegetal pepper taste. I found the food at MartAnne's to be pretty good. It definitely hits the spot after hiking all around the area for most of the day. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women. Note: MartAnne's charges a 3.5% credit card fee. This is labeled on the menu.

I noticed they had a variety of dessert squares available, so I ended up choosing several of them to sample. One dessert that stood out to me appearance-wise was the Irish apple cake.

I also tried their strawberry lemon bar, which I really enjoyed. This one was very good and had a nice balance of tart lemon flavor. The texture inside was tacky in a good way, and it made the dessert very yummy. Another square I tried was the Almond Joy bar, which was amazing. It had a base that seemed to be made with granola, topped with a sweet coconut cream layer, and finished with a thick layer of chocolate and shredded coconut. It was very tasty. The last dessert I tried was their bread pudding square. It was pretty good overall, but it wasn't anything special. I did find the bread pudding to be a little dry. Each dessert square was priced at about $4.50. The staff was really nice or friendly. On the positive side, parking was super easy since the bakery is located in the same plaza as Safeway.
