Bakery & Deli in the dessert
Located just off of Hwy 179, the Desert Flour is a nice place to grab a decent snack in Oak Creek and Sedona. They have a wide selection of baked goods and a pretty good selection of food items as well. A couple of items can be made vegan by leaving the cheese or other items out.
Directions:
Just off of 179 on the west side of the road just south of Castle Rock Road in Oak Creek

Myself and another vegetarian went here for lunch today, and based on the experience, I can say this is arguably the worst restaurant I've been in in the last several years. The service staff was friendly and prompt, but the food they served was absolutely abysmal.
Cannoli: Store-bought shells filled with whip cream on the ends. The actual center of the cannoli was completely empty. Most decidedly the worst cannoli I have ever had in my life. The waitress replaced it with a brownie.
Brownie: Hard on the top & bottom. Not crispy-good hard, but gummy-hard. Store-bought cherry pie filling mixed in didn't help too much.
Four-cheese pizza: Aaaaaaagh. I'm not sure where to start. I've had $1.99 microwave pizzas that have blown this away.
* Lilly-white under-cooked crust, so limp I suspect it was microwaved.
*Out-of-the-can sauce, and frankly I don't even think it was pizza sauce. It tasted very much like Ragu. Even it was good sauce, they still put too much of it, so every bite was full of corn-syrupy nastiness.
* Four cheeses, speckled unevenly around
Breads: We picked up a Baguette, Jalapeño bread, and walnut rosemary loaf. Their breads were the best thing we had, unfortunately that's not saying much. The baguette had a dull, plain crust, and a very tight crumb. The bottom was dimpled, betraying the fact that this bakery is not a hearth-style bakery, but more similar in fact to the bakery in a grocery store.
I also had a bite of the walnut rosemary, but even the overdone McCormick's rosemary couldn't cover up the yeasty taste. Based on those two breads, I couldn't even bring myself to try the Jalapeño.
They also offer a black bean burger which we didn't get. Like everything else, they don't make it there themselves.
