    Vegan Egg Breakfast
    Darla M.

    The ambiance is very cute and the service was good. I got the Vegan Breakfast with a pancake and my husband got the chilaquiles. The vegan bacon tasted a little funky, and I've been vegan for almost 10 years so I'm aware of what it's supposed to taste like. Everything else on my plate was delicious. As for the chilaquiles, my husband couldn't eat more than 1/3 of it. It was made incorrectly and very mushy. The staff just said sorry and made us pay for it, which is fine, but didn't offer to sub or deduct the cost? Maybe we need to try something else next time, but overall, our first experience wasn't the greatest.

    To set the stage: colorful patio with tons of cute dogs. Add fast service, solid food (and very very good breakfast potatoes) and you have a solid brunch spot! The cinnamon roll is absolutely worth it. Maybe not quite giant, but fluffy and delicious nonetheless.

    Fantastic kitschy breakfast place! We ate in which is full of owl merch for sale. They also have a large patio and they are both kid and dog friendly. I ordered the Spanish omelette and my husband had the breakfast sandwich. Both we delicious and portions are huge. The coffee was tasty. Friendly service and we were served our food in 20 minutes. I want to come back and try more things on the menu!

    Healthy options, great staff! Parking is limited but not hard to find! Street parking is cheap, and there are plenty of spaces around the restaurant. Staff is extremely friendly! I had quick service, found a hair in my food, and the staff apologized sincerely for the occurrence and got me a new plate of food expeditiously. The food was excellent and came in big portions. I had the Owls nest, healthy veggies with a kick to it! I'd highly recommend, and I had a coffee that was average but great! The restaurant is beautiful. The toasted owl and their ode to Owls is felt from the design of their restaurant, to their merch, cups, bathrooms all of it. I love when a restaurant carries a theme that is meaningful and fun and they do it right here. This establishment is definitely worth your time. I hope you enjoy it!

    Solid food -- tasty plus big portions, making it good bang for buck. Service was very friendly as well. We ended up getting a cute owl mason jar -- everything in the cafe is for sale, which was a cute concept.

    Service: Our server Beatrice was great, she needs a raise. ASAP! She was very attentive and checked on us often. We were seated by the door, so I really appreciated hearing the gentleman at front that they could wait, but it would have to be outside for a fire regulation. Didn't want people hovering while were eating. Ambiance: Heavy on the owl! It is cute restaurant. Reminds me a lot of Asheville, NC vibe. Food: Great breakfast. The potatoes were the absolute best!

    Had a great and relaxing breakfast on our way out of town. The decor is great (almost everything is for sale!) The menu is huge, with great options for those like me who are allergic to eggs, and their drinks were delicious. Service was quick and attentive. Can't wait to make this a regular stop when we visit Flagstaff!

    Breakfast Tamales
    Tara E.

    I'm going to admit straight out of the gate that I should have taken more photos of this eclectic and awesome eatery! Fun, kitschy decor - it's like you found all sorts of antique store and garage sale finds and put them together in a way to works. Art everywhere. Paintings. The patio is divine. The service is excellent. And the food. Oh myyyyyyy. I asked our server for a recommendation and she did not lead me astray. Get yourself the prosciutto and Brie sandwich; you won't regret it! The other members of our party had the BLAT and the breakfast tamales. Everything is fresh a delicious! And did I mention super doggo friendly??? They provide water dishes and everything!

    We came here for brunch for a friend's birthday celebration and it was a great start to the day. The outside waiting area was open and refreshing. We were seated within about 20 minutes of arriving and our waiter was with us quickly. We liked the expansive menu with several drink options that were perfect for brunch. I particularly liked the cinnamon screech owl, it reminded me of an alcoholic chai. I got the and roasted potatoes with toast. The potatoes were fantastic! Loved them! Overall we really enjoyed our visit and would come back again. Great spot for brunch with friends.

    Store front

    Leaving a less than stellar review is never my go to. However, if the owners see it, I hope they improve because this place shows potential. So here goes some honest feedback... To start, they seated our party of three at an 8-top when there was a 4-top available...which was odd. We asked to be moved to a smaller table and they were kind enough to move us. We fixed the wobble at the new table with a folded napkin and were in business. Service after we were moved to a new table (a 6-top, though 4-top was still available) went down. Food came out lukewarm which was disappointing. Would've tasted great if it was hot. I usually have more patience with this when a restaurant is busy. It was not. Maybe it was the servers first day on the job? While decor is meant to be rustic and outdoor feeling, it felt more on the dingy side. This place needs to amp up their overall game if they want to survive. Between the mediocre service, cost of food, and dingy atmosphere the $86 price tag for 3 people isn't worth me visiting again. Again, there's potential. Overall though waaaaayy too expensive! People come to these places for ambiance, excellent food, and amazing service. It helps them overlook the price tag. I call it the "dive trifecta". Check prices before you go, because if they are still over $10 a plate you are better off at Denny's or IHOP.

    Solid breakfast spot with good service friendly faces and decent food. The place doesn't blow you away with food that's so incredible you won't know what to eat ever again without them but it's a great spot to visit

    Adina S.

    Loved this spot! My friends and I came in on a weekday for lunch and had no trouble getting a table outside. You really can't go wrong sitting inside either because the decor is super fun. The menu is great, with something for everyone. We all enjoyed our sandwiches, salads, and omelettes. They're also good about accommodating for vegan/vegetarian diets. I'd happily recommend!

    If you are in Flagstaff, this is definitely a place to visit! Excellent food with a big variety, friendly service, & a unique owl themed ambiance. They give pig portions so you definitely get your bang for your buck. Highly recommend this cafe!

    This place screams eclectic in a good way, from all the different ceiling light fixtures, to the…read moreold stain glass window frames, chairs and tables and of course lots of owls. We were greeted right away and seated inside, there is an outside patio. Our server was friendly, introduced himself, asked if we had any questions, took our beverage order and allowed us time to look over the menu. I ordered their endless coffee, my wife ordered a bottled coke that came with a glass and ice. As it was just after 10 AM, We decided to order breakfast. My wife ordered biscuits and gravy with bacon. This is served with two biscuits smothered in gravy with bacon crumbles sprinkled on the gravy and fried county potatoes. There is no strips of bacon, just a lot of bacon crumbles. The county potatoes are small (just about large cherry tomato size) potatoes that are cut in half and fried. The outside is crispy, the inside is soft and well seasoned. Perfect with the gravy. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with sausage that comes either in links or patties. I chose the patties and the addition of two eggs over-easy. The biscuits were crispy on the outside, soft and crumbly on the inside. A very well baked biscuit. The white gravy was seasoned well and delicious. One of the better tasting gravy we have had in a while, although I prefer a sausage gravy. The two sausage patties were properly cooked and definitely added to the overall flavor of the gravy and eggs (cooked properly). To me the county potatoes were the best addition to the plate as I used them to soak up the gravy and egg yolk after the biscuits were gone. I would have liked to see a larger portion of gravy and potatoes on my plate, as my wife's plate had more of both. Likely had to do with the two eggs that occupied real estate on my plate. The endless coffee stayed true to its name, I never ran out of coffee and there was both packaged sugar, sugar substitutes, three types of coffee creamer (half and half, French vanilla and Hazel nut?) Overall the service was attentive, friendly and the food was good and arrived in a reasonable time frame. I would definitely return to the Toasted Owl again.

    I really hate doing reviews like this. I gave the manager an opportunity for a quick phone call…read morebefore I posted this review. She preferred text only. I was visiting family in Flagstaff for the first time in many years. My stepmother and I love eating out. We had great food and great experiences the week I was there. Towards the end of my trip, we were looking for a place to have a late breakfast early lunch, also known as a brunch. We narrowed it down to two different places. The Toasted Owl was the one that we picked. I wish I could say, that we were able to eat what I heard was great food there. The hostess was nice. The on duty manager even apologized for the wait. She told me they're cleaning our table. Once we got to the table, my stepmom and I noticed, this was the wettest table ever. The menus were sticking to the table. No big deal, just a dry towel, and problem solves. I asked this young man as he was going by if he could get a dry towel because the table was obviously very wet. He said okay, came back, dropped a stack of napkins on the table. My stepmom and I both rolled our eyes and looked at each other. When he was coming back, I asked him what are the napkins for? He said they are for you to wipe down the table, and then he left. I looked at my stepmom as we both rolled our eyes again, and I said we are not eating here. I explained to the on duty manager why we were not eating there. She did offer to be our waiter, but I said politely of course, no thank you. We were both kind and polite right out of the gate. I'm wondering what was it about this young bus boy, who apparently just got promoted to waiter/server, he would have such an attitude towards us? I have my thoughts. But I'm not going to share them here. It's indicative in my opinion with what's going on with the problems in this country. People judge you for the way you look, or what you wear. But I wonder what it was, that this young man thought about us that he had to treat us the way he did? Maybe this restaurant caters to a certain type or class of people. Maybe we don't fit in that class? But who cares? I come from the school where everybody gets treated the same, with kindness and respect, regardless of sexual orientation, race, religion, political affiliation, and the list goes on. Perhaps, this young man can tell the owner of this restaurant, why he treated us the way he did? By the way, I'm being gratuitous by assuming the food is five stars, as that's what I gave it. I'm just calling the balls and strikes as I see it, one-star service from this one individual.

    After eating next door for a lunch, we saw the signs all over MartAnne's claiming they are "The…read moreHouse That Chilaquiles Built!" 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.

The only problem I have with it is that on a recent trip through town I made a point of stopping here with my dog, both their yelp listing and Apple maps listing have them down as dog friendly. I was turned away at the door because they do not allow dogs.
