A Wildflower in Sedona

Sedona, AZ - The
Wildflower Bread Company says that bread is the soul of its
success, and looking behind the counter you can see why.
Loaves of fresh, warm bread are stacked to the rafters.
Don't know which bread to pick? How about the "Bread of
the Month" which right now is seeded pumpernickel, or grab a
baguette for a dollar on your way out.
But bread
isn't the only gourmet item this upscale bakery has to offer.
Along with traditional items like gourmet coffee, bagels, and
muffins, on this day there were brightly colored cupcakes piled high
behind a glass enclosure.

What
people may not know is that Wildflower also serves breakfast,
lunch, and dinner in a spacious and comfortable atmosphere, and
a large, multi-colored glass floral sculpture adorns the center
of the dining area.
There are both
tables and booths giving the feel of an upscale diner. Unlike a
traditional diner, however, there are no waiters or waitresses.
Instead, you order at the counter, take a colored sign to your
table, and your food and silverware is brought to you. Good
service without the tipping.
But what if
you just want to work or read? Wildflower has free wireless
internet access, a fireplace, and newspapers. They invite you
to stay and sit for a while with a sign that says "Stop & Smell the
Wildflowers."

If you
decide to have a meal, be aware that it's hearty food.
For breakfast
you can try "Feta & Roasted Vegetable Frittata", "Banana Walnut
Pancakes" or "Lemon Ricotta Pancakes."
For lunch, how
about a spicy meatball sandwich, some hearty soup and an "Oriental
Chicken" salad, or a "Turkey Breast & Brie" sandwich.
The dinner
menu consists mostly of pasta items like linguini and ravioli.
The meals are
reasonably
priced with an entree costing around $6.99.
Coffee and baked goods are less than $4.00 a piece.
You can also
order take out. We note that there is limited outdoor seating
and the views of the red rocks are the base of the rocks across 89A.
There are nine
Wildflower Bread Company locations throughout Arizona. The
Sedona location is at the far end at The Shops at Piñon Pointe,
through the "Y" (intersections of 179 & 89A) and up the hill and
past the Hyatt.
