Coffee was very sophisticated, but wish there were more good options.

This is a wonderful location with genuinely kind staff. I love that my teenager (16yrs) asks to drop in and get coffee together here before school. Incredible coffee and customer service!!

To be a cafe hermit requires moderate discrimination on where to park the rear-end for an extended period of time. "Is the seating ergonomic? Is the setting conducive for both work and pleasure? Is the music relaxing? Is the mud worth the price?"Fortunately, this gem of a location rings all bells quite nicely.The interior is compact, yet very tranquil, with a rustic southwestern motif. Lowly lit to foster a calm mood. The espresso machines can be rather loud, so I appreciated the ambient jazz music all the more. The drinks are neither dazzling nor underwhelming. Outside on the patio is a lovely view of the mountains-- untainted by the traffic below it. Considering the venue's smaller size, its saving grace is the fewer number of visitors who are there at any given time. Would there be more than a handful, then the charm of this soothing aesthetic would likely shift to something less than comfortable. But I find that to be typical of most Savayas. The cozy feel is what makes it appealing.The one and only bummer is that it closes so early.Hands down, this is up in the top 3 of my favorite cafes of the Tucson area. Unfortunately, there arent very many around of this caliber. That's something this city should work on, IMO.

Good coffee at a good price. It would step out up a notch if they used solid cups instead of paper disposable cups. Or at least ask if you would prefer a real cup. Other than that a nice place to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee the way you ordered it.

My last stop in Tucson before leaving on a rainy day morning. Got an americano. It smelled and tasted great. The place has some nice murals. We didn't stay long but would have if we had time.
Won't be coming back to this location. I was sitting outside with my dog and a friend in the morning with no one else around. An women and man ride up on bikes and my dog starts barking, while wagging his tail, obviously not aggressive. This lady makes multiple rude comments, says "you should leave him home" and goes inside. A minute later an employee comes out and says we need to leave because of "multiple" complaints. Obviously dishonest as no one else had a problem saying hi to him as they walked by while we were there for 15+ minutes. Only the solo Karen. Thanks Karen and employee that lost a long time customer.

Coffee was good but they don't have Heavy Cream. Atmosphere was nice. Definitely better than Starbucks or Dutch Bros (now that Dutch Bros stopped carrying Heavy Cream)

I'm usually a tea drinker but I was craving some iced coffee. I ordered their cold brew. BEWARE IT'S VERY VERY STRONG!! I don't want to write a bad review coz I really don't know much about coffee and don't drink enough to know what true good coffee is. It sure tasted good (I like it bitter and no acidic) especially with the muffin I ordered. I love the balance of sweet muffin and bitter coffee. But after a while, I started feeling sick with all the symptoms you find when you Google "caffeine intoxication". Now if it was just me I would have just concluded my body is not used to coffee, but my bf who drinks coffee every day felt the same. Again, I don't mean to talk smack about the business and maybe cold brew is supposed to be strong? I'm sure other coffees are good just like a lot of reviews say. But I'm just writing this to let people like me know. Other than that, service was good. A guy was working alone but he was efficient. The place is cute. I just wouldn't be drinking coffee for a while lol
