Spring Break in Flagstaff: A 3-Day Itinerary
A flexible, family-tested 3-day spring break itinerary for Flagstaff — fresh mountain air, easy outdoor adventures, hands-on stops, and built-in downtime, without the heat or crowds.

New American • Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Happy Hour • $$
A locally owned New American restaurant just off I-40 that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They're known for their 15+ homemade pies — seriously, the pie selection alone is worth visiting. Gluten-free and vegetarian menus are available, plus a kids menu, high chairs, and outdoor seating. The Reverse Happy Hour from 6–10am is a fun early-morning deal. Daily hours run 6am to 10pm at 2200 East Butler Avenue, in the $$ range, with restrooms, parking, and dogs welcome. Wheelchair and stroller access are in place, and noise stays moderate. It sits just off the interstate, so it can feel more highway-convenient than downtown-cozy — useful when you need a real meal with pie at the end, less so if you're hunting for a quiet neighborhood cafe.
Local tip
One kids mac and cheese is big enough for two little ones to split, which frees up room for the actual reason you're here — the pie case, where French silk is the family-consensus winner.
