Ever wonder where you can find a latte and a lager under the same roof? Lake Powell Espresso on North Navajo Drive offers exactly that kind of dual experience in Page. You can start your day with a standard Drip coffee or treat yourself to a sweet Birthday Cake Mocha from their extensive specialty menu. I really like that they press their Breakfast Burrito like a panini for a unique texture you do not find everywhere. The interior features hip decor and comfortable seating that makes it a decent spot to hang out. They also serve alcohol later in the day which sets them apart from your typical coffee shop. It is a busy spot where you can grab a Butter Croissant or an Everything Bagel with fig jam.

If you are looking for the quintessential college town hangout in Flagstaff you need to visit Campus Coffee Bean. It is located right near NAU so you will see plenty of students studying with laptops. I honestly love that they have such a massive menu that covers everything from Greek omelets to breakfast burritos. The vibe is super relaxed and eclectic which makes it a solid spot to hang out for a while. They have a house specialty called the Hammer Head which is three shots of espresso topped with coffee if you really need a wake-up call.
I do need to warn you about the consistency here though. The drink quality can really depend on who is behind the bar that day. Some reviews mention the espresso tasting burnt or the milk being scorched. You might find that the smoothies and flavored drinks taste a bit powdery or overly sweet compared to a craft shop. It is definitely a place you go for the food and the atmosphere rather than a precision coffee experience. That said, it is still a beloved local staple where you can grab a hearty breakfast and soak up that classic college town energy.

If you are looking for the absolute freshest beans in Flagstaff where you can literally watch the roasting magic happen, you need to get yourself to Single Speed immediately. This place is a total vibe for anyone who geeks out on gear and bean origins, and I honestly love that you can grab a seat in the cozy upstairs loft to look down at their "lab" while you sip. Just so you know, true craft takes time here, so do not expect a quick "drive-thru" experience when the line gets long or the baristas are dialing in a shot. They really push the boundaries with their roast profiles and extraction, which means the flavor is often adventurous and bold rather than safe and predictable. You have to try a single-origin pour-over or the Flagstaff Fog, but do not sleep on the McLovin breakfast sandwich because it is life-changing.
