While vacationing in Sedona with my son, I planned to stop at Memories to get sandwiches for our day trip to the Grand Canyon. I walked around the area until the shop opened and I proceeded to go in right at 10am, as the door was open. The "rude guy" as others have referred to him as, gave me an annoyed look as I approached, to which I then said, "Are you not open?". He looked at the clock and then mumbled something. He then asked wait I wanted to order. I asked about the menu, to which he pointed at. I said, "Are there any popular sandwiches or recommendations ?", to which he replied, "What are you hungry for?". I could sense his disgust and frustration. It was at that time that my teen son and I looked directly at each other and said, "Let's leave". The man made another snarky comment as we were walking out. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the food, as we never ordered. I would not give him my business if I were starving. Someone like this should not work with the public, especially in a tourist town. I can understand having a "bad day" but after reading other reviews, I realized that this is the norm, and he is just chronically miserable.

Thankfully, the candle lady also told us that she and her co-workers split the sandwiches because they're so big.
She was correct on all counts! Sedona Memories Cafe is a classic hole in the wall place serving large, creative sandwiches on out-of-this-world bread they bake themselves at very reasonable prices. My girlfriend and I split one and it was plenty.
And it's especially nice to add that the people who run the place are extremely nice and friendly! There's so much to enjoy and marvel at in Sedona, and I consider this one of the...
Read moreThese have to be the best sandwiches I've ever had oh my gosh the portions are huge and the ingredients are fresh. AMAZING!! I told my daughter that we need to take a road trip just to go here, really if you are in Sedona at lunch time you can't pass it up. I did the vegetarian and my husband did the roast beef one day and the turkey club another and both were awesome. We took two days into Sedona and didn't even give another place a try. We were told to try this place by one of the shop owners and boy were we glad. I believe this is a little hidden gold mine for Sedona. If you make it there don't miss out on a sandwich surprise, they are all the same price and I wish I could of got their bread recipe because it made the...
