Best Espresso Bar in Flagstaff · Flagstaff, AZ
Late for the Train has roasted and poured coffee in downtown Flagstaff since the early 1990s, a husband-and-wife shop that helped define the town's coffee culture. It's known for dark, small-batch roasts, house-made syrups, and from-scratch breakfast burritos and croissants for the grab-and-go crowd.
Locally owned and operated by its founders across the decades, Late for the Train is the kind of independent café Flagstaff regulars organize their mornings around.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Late for the Train (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
