The fine establishments listed below are the heart and soul of the Prescott Food Tour. Nestled within blocks of our Historic Courthouse, these small, family-owned businesses bring flavor, passion, and history to your experience. By joining our tour, you’re not just indulging in incredible food—you’re supporting multiple small businesses in one unforgettable outing!
As a special thank-you, many of our partners offer exclusive discounts or free gifts just for tour guests, with some extending their generosity for the entire day—or even the weekend.
Limoncello – A slice of Italy in the heart of Prescott, Limoncello is dedicated to the art of simple, yet exquisite, Italian cuisine. Their wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas—baked to perfection in the signature “big lemon” oven—feature imported cheeses and traditional flavors that will transport you straight to Naples. What makes this stop even more special? The owner himself often joins our tour, sharing his passion and philosophy for authentic Italian food.
Fite and Sons – This place will make you fudge’n nuts! Roasting their own nuts in-house, the mouthwatering aroma alone is enough to lure you in. But don’t stop there—this charming shop also boasts Northern Arizona’s most award-winning ice cream and some of the best homemade fudge in town. Expect quirky souvenirs, deep discounts, and the chance to meet “the mayor” or other Wild West characters who frequent the store!
Gypsy’s Cafe & Bakery – A hidden gem and a beloved local favorite, Gypsy’s is a go-to for those working on Whiskey Row. Sneak through the back alley for a taste of their famous Prescott Muffins, scratch-made soups, and decadent cookies. Their commitment to all-natural ingredients (no preservatives or artificial additives) means their treats don’t last long—so grab yours while you can! We often stop here during our morning tours for a cozy espresso and a fresh-baked bite.
La Planchada – A bar on a food tour? Absolutely—because tacos! La Planchada takes street tacos to the next level with handmade everything, from their fire-roasted veggies to their freshly chopped pico de gallo, red salsa, and green chili salsa. They even fry their own hot, crispy chips for that perfect crunch. And if you’re a fan of agave spirits, you won’t find a better selection in town. If we’re lucky, manager Lance will drop by to share why agave is considered a “clean” spirit—a must-know for tequila lovers!
The County Seat – A hidden-in-plain-sight treasure, The County Seat is where we indulge in a little hipster flair—think avocado toast or bacon breakfast tacos with an unbeatable view of the Historic Courthouse. It’s a local favorite for happy hour, with deals so good that everything is often just $5! Housed in a historic building, this stop offers a modern Prescott vibe wrapped in a touch of the past.
Olive U Naturally – One of our longest-standing partners, Olive U Naturally is pure heaven for food lovers. Their passionate team introduces you to flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars from around the world, often whipping up a special treat just for our tour guests. Their balsamic vinegars hail from Modena, Italy—the birthplace of balsamic perfection. Take advantage of exclusive discounts, and if you don’t want to carry your purchase, they’ll even hold it for you or ship it home. (And yes—don’t forget your free gift!)
The Spice & Tea Exchange – Our newest partner, this aromatic wonderland is located inside Arizona’s oldest bank building—and it still holds gold! But these days, the treasures come in the form of turmeric, exotic spices, artisan salts, and rare teas. Each season, we sample a trio of teas—iced for summer, hot and spiced for winter. We expanded our tour just to fit in this must-visit shop! Stop by for a free gift and an exclusive discount.
Pralines of Prescott – A true Prescott institution, this chocolate shop is home to one of the city’s most iconic confections—“The Rodeo.” If you love turtles (chocolate, nuts, caramel), you’ll go wild for this giant version, a buckin’ bronco of flavor! But the indulgence doesn’t stop there. Their “Elixir of the Gods”—a rich, creamy hot chocolate made from fine chocolate and fresh cream—draws lines of fans every winter. Their locally roasted firefighter-crafted coffee is the perfect complement. And of course, tour guests get a generous discount, so why not take home a box of Rodeos?
Grandma’s Bakery – We don’t visit this tiny treasure, but you still get a taste! Tucked under a historic hotel, this three-person bakery supplies the best restaurants and coffeehouses in town with freshly baked breads, bagels, pastries, cookies, and muffins. Each morning, our guides grab a “pink box” filled with flaky treats so we can start the tour with a bite of nostalgia on the Courthouse Steps. Later, we’ll point out this beloved hole-in-the-wall, where you might just see customers lined up out the door.
Tara Thai – For those craving exotic flavors and strong drinks, Tara Thai Prescott is the place to be! This local Thai gem features a massive bar with martinis under $10 and a menu packed with bold, aromatic flavors like mint, coconut, lemongrass, galangal, and chili. And take note: If you’re booking a reservation, make sure it’s for Tara Thai Prescott, not its Sedona counterpart (many have learned this lesson the hard way!). While you’re there, enjoy the serene koi pond and the large Buddha watching over the dining room.
