JAVA JOLT

Formerly Single Speed Coffee Café, Stronghold Coffee Company serves coffee beans that are certified organic, fair trade and direct trade. Stronghold is currently offering food and beverage delivery. One of Stronghold’s owners, Lynda Apple, tells us that the breakfast burrito – scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, pico de gallo, monterey jack cheese and your choice of meat or veggies that’s all wrapped up in a flour tortilla – is one of the shop’s most popular offerings. Pair your food with espresso-based drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. You also can order gift cards. Visit strongholdcoffeeco.com for more information.

CHIC BOUTIQUE

Named after the cross streets – Hunt Avenue and Leroux Street – the shop calls home, Hunt & Leroux sells what owner Courtney Herzog describes as “boho-contemporary” women’s clothing. Stock up on clothing, shoes and accessories. Expect to find flowy dresses, wide brim hat and riding boots from a wide swath of hand-selected inventory. The store opened in March of 2019 as on online-only boutique and now has a brick-and-mortar outpost downtown. Visit huntandleroux.com, and use code H&L2020 for 20 percent off.

OVER THE RAINBOW

Nearly two decades ago, former teacher Miranda Sweet took a big risk and opened her boutique Rainbow’s End. “I knew being a young woman business owner would be a challenge, especially 20 years ago, but I was ready to break the glass ceiling,” she says. And smash it she did. Sweet curates an affordable collection of clothing, accessories and local artisan jewelry. Think printed dresses, T-shirts printed with “Happy Camper” and an actual camper printed underneath and silver earrings with the word “wild” emblazoned on them. Rainbow’s End is currently offering free shipping for orders placed over the phone, FaceTime, Facebook and Instagram. Customers can enjoy personal shopping via FaceTime. Look for updates and photos on Facebook and Instagram. Visit shoprainbowsend.com for more information.

FAMILY TIES

Lumberyard Brewing Company has always been a family business. Kelly Hanseth’s parents started Beaver Street Brewery back in 1994. Hanseth worked at Beaver Street when she was growing up. Hanseth moved back to Flagstaff are leaving for college and not long afterwards started working for the family’s second brewery, Lumberyard. Her dad has retired, but her and her mother continue to run the business. Lumberyard currently sells four canned beers: Hazy Angel IPA, Railhead Red, Flagstaff IPA and First Light Lager. Lumberyard is offering curbside pickup when you place an order from its website. Visit lumberyardbrewingcompany.com for more information.

SWEET TREATS

Get your sweet tooth fix when you order gourmet chocolates, candy apples and homemade fudge in a variety of flavors ranging from chocolate mint to raspberry swirl from downtown Flagstaff’s the Sweet Shoppe Candy Store. Owner Jennifer Rolley says the store is taking orders online and by phone for delivery or shipment. She tells us that the peanut brittle, English Toffee and house-made caramels have been recent favorites. Visit sweetshoppecandy.com for more information.
