Where to Eat in Prescott: Our Host Favorites

The overstocked coffee and tea bar at Positively Prescott

Guests often ask us where to eat, so here is the short answer: the places we go ourselves. Prescott has a great mix of old-school diners, Whiskey Row classics and newer spots, most of them a short drive from the house.

Breakfast, coffee and bakeries
