Chocolatree

 

This is such a cool place I kept going back for more. Of course the name drew me in right away. However, my experience had nothing to do with chocolate. It is a small place with a dirt parking lot and cute parking signs at every spot like “park here and feel peace in your heart.”  Once inside there is a market place for natural products. There are a few table in this area. There is also a side patio and in the rear is a garden complete with hammock, a small stage and a fountain. I went for lunch and sat in the back garden. Very soothing new age music is playing in the background along with the flowing water of the fountain. They have a very nice tea selection and I chose Spring Dragon Tea which is a mixture of different herbs and is available either hot or cold. I chose hot. It was great and the best part is that you can get free refills.

For food I ordered the Veggie Burger with avocado, which was very good and the bread it came on was called “Ancient Grain Bread” The taste great but it fell apart as if it was ancient. Still a very good veggie burger. I also ordered the Banana Bread and Butter which is home baked banana bread and stone ground sprouted almond butter also made in house. It was the perfect lunch.  The next day I went back for breakfast. I ordered the classic waffles with vegan butter and chocolate syrup. It was also very good and very filling.

Update June 2016: I only had time to stop in for dessert. I ordered the Chocolate Chip Brownie that was on the menu. Looked great when it came out but as I was eating it, I found no chocolate chips! I called the waitress over and showed her. She went to check with the chef. Apparently, the chocolate chips are melted on
top. I found this misleading because there were no chocolate chips even on top. The waitress felt the same way and did not charge me. The tea was good and I will not hold this against them. Will try and stop in for lunch again in the future.

Wildflower Bread Company

 

This is a chain restaurant that has some good breakfast options. The interior is nicely decorated and there is a fireplace in one corner. It is a fast food setup to order food. Approach a counter and place your order, pay and be seated. Someone will bring out your food. When I arrived there was no one on line. After I ordered and sat, the line grew quite long. The setup where the kitchen is and how the line forms to place an order is very awkward for the staff bring out food. They have to maneuver through the line of people juggling plates of food. I observe several close calls of people nearly knocking the plates out of staff hands.  I ordered the Sausage and Egg sandwich and a chocolate croissant. The sandwich was very tasty but difficult to eat as the Ciabatta Roll the egg and sausage is on has a hard crust. Biting into it sends the contents falling out the sides.  The croissant was just average as there was not much chocolate inside. Would not order that again.

Thai Spices Natural Restaurant

 

Nicely decorated interior and friendly owner. I arrived very close to closing but they seated me anyway. I felt I should eat fast since I came in so late. No problem because I was very hungry.  I ordered the Pad Prig King with Chicken. I eat at a lot of very good Thai restaurants and this Prik King was very good, but not the best. The portion was very big and I could not finish. Flavors were good but the chicken seemed like it was added as an after thought. No real flavor to the chicken on its own. It was convenient and reasonably priced so I would visit again and try another dish.

Blue Moon Cafe

 

This is a nice little place near Bell Rock. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. I stopped in for lunch and was seated very fast but after being told my waiter would be right with me, it took some time. I nearly left but decided to get and to find someone to take my order. The tables have small books to read while you wait for you food. I found the one on my table interesting.  I eventually order the California Burger which is a beef patty with jack cheese, avocado and ranch dressing.  It really wasn’t anything special. Tasted fine. It comes with fries.  Many other places in Sedona to try.
