Elote Cafe

A coffee house on Cedar Street in Sedona, at number 274, serving coffee and tea. Free wireless internet is available, which makes it a workable stop for anyone who needs to sit with a laptop for an hour. Doors open early, at 6 a.m., and close at 6 p.m. Seating is limited compared with a large cafe, so mornings can be busy. The phone number is (928) 862-2562. Call ahead to check the hours before a long drive, since small cafes adjust their schedule around holidays and slow seasons. Ask about the menu and whether food is served when you call.

Breakfast and lunch at 345 Jordan Road in Sedona. Wildcraft Kitchen opens from 7 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon, Tuesday through Saturday, and is closed Sunday and Monday. The kitchen describes its cooking as organic. A short window like that means the room is busiest mid morning, and the doors shut earlier than a visitor might expect, so do not plan a late lunch here. Call (928) 862-2541 to check the menu on the day, ask about a table for a group, or find out whether anything can be ordered to go before closing.

A small inn at 376 Cedar Street in Sedona, a quiet street close to the middle of town. The innkeepers are Noreen and Malachy. Booking is not handled at a front desk: availability goes through Foothills Property Management, which is who answers when you call (928) 282-9533. Email can be sent to info@rosetreeinn.com. Because it is a small property, rooms are limited and dates fill in busy seasons, so ask early. Confirm the check in arrangements when you book, since a property without a staffed desk usually arranges key pickup or a code ahead of your arrival.

Arizona Safari Jeep Tours runs guided jeep tours around Sedona. Tours leave from Uptown Sedona, and the office is at 335 Jordan Rd. Kids are welcome on the trips. The office is open every day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The company offers several tour choices, such as the Rim Run Supreme Jeep Tour and the Vortex Experience Jeep Tour. It says it has been running tours for more than 20 years. Gift cards can be bought too. To book a seat or ask which tour fits your group, call (928) 282-3012 or email info@safarijeeptours.com. Ask how long each tour lasts and how rough the ride is.

Italian food in Sedona, at 6701 W State Route 89A on the western edge of town. Dining in, takeout and catering are all offered, and tables can be reserved ahead. The bar shows games, and the restaurant posts upcoming events on its own site rather than keeping a fixed schedule. Ordering online is an option if you would rather collect your food. Hours are not listed here, so call before you go, particularly on a weeknight. The number is (928) 254-9544, and email can be sent to dan4peace@aol.com. Ask about group bookings and catering packages when you get in touch.
