50 Best Cafes in Tucson

“Wow!
1) To walk into a Cafe and be greeted warmly is a breath of fresh air! Cheyenne is a gem! Her genuineness and happiness is contagious.
2) The atmosphere is welcoming. The music is just right.
3) The chai latte is the best I've ever had.
4) They were extremely generous with giving me samples (I don't even like dark chocolate but I will be buying some today!)
Please don't drive by and say one day I'll stop in.
Support them, so they don't go anywhere!“

“It was amazing the rooms were great the pool was amazing the food was ok“

“still has the vibe of the former Epic Cafe but with a refreshed menu and look.“

“I absolutely love spending time at Dandelion. The people and atmosphere are so relaxed and welcoming. The coffee and ESPECIALLY the pastries and breakfast sandwiches are to die for!

Definitely one of Tucson’s hidden gems. I always leave with a smile on my face after visiting :)“

“♡︎♥︎ So Good ! Cute / Fun Place.“

“Outstanding menu featuring fresh food prepared daily. Service is incredible. Awesome cafe.“

“Very good Atencion! And nice place . 👍“

“If you’re looking for the perfect donut and a side of warm, genuine hospitality, look no further. Their donuts are nothing short of spectacular—soft, fresh, and with just the right amount of sweetness. Whether you’re into classic glazed or something more adventurous, every bite is a delight, with each flavor as delicious as the last.

But what really sets this place apart is that they don’t stop at donuts; the fried chicken here is just as incredible! Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, it’s some of the best I’ve had. The mix of sweet donuts and savory fried chicken is a combination that simply shouldn’t be missed.

The staff here make every visit even better, with their friendly smiles and quick, attentive service. And the owner? A truly genuine and welcoming person who clearly cares about every customer who walks through the door. You can feel the love and dedication in everything they do, which makes this place feel special. This place is a gem, and I’ll definitely be back for more!“

“This felt like more than just a coffee stop. The owner is so kind and uplifting which was a good start to the morning. Ube is my favorite flavor and she nailed it. She bakes the Ube cookies fresh so I'd suggest getting there early to snag one. I also had a hot Une later, it was wonderful.

Vegetarian options: Offered vegan sweet bread during my visit.“

“Just delicious- and I bought the t-shirt“

“Charming place with lots of history. We shared an appetizer,a salad and a main and still took food home. We both thought the pork schnitzel was outstanding. My husband liked the calamari but I thought it was too chewy. Next time I would get the sweet chili sauce on the side so I could add it as needed . Loved the s Ceasar salad with fresh grated Parmesan . Our server was very attentive and brought dishes already split. Wished we had had room for desert!“

“Food and drink is great ! Customer service lady was kind. I paid for my drink, a friends and a food item. Total was $19. My friends drink was strong and the worker asked how she could fix it . I left the store after eating and it was SO hot outside I went back into the store to ask for cup of water, she was washing dishes and stopped to give me water. Didnt seem bothered. I appreciated her kindness. The atmosphere is calming and is a total vibe ! I would come back.“

“I spent over 30 dollars by myself. However, there is a caveot to that. I ordered a brunch cocktail.
So let's start with that.
The ryeish latte: is a play on the Irish coffee but using rye whiskey(was told the name was Sazerac). It's a decent latte on its own but that rye gave it some nice grain flavour to it that I don't see in an Irish coffee normally. So that's fun. It ran me 12 dollars.

Eggs Benedict (with brisket, full size)
The holidays was pretty mild but well seasoned. The egg itself was cooked properly. Which is good for me because I suck at making them at home. It was placed on top of a square hash brown and came with a cucumber salad. It had some sunflower seeds, and what I believe were sweet potato chips as a garnish. The salad was a little under dressed. But I was there for the eggs Benedict, the salad was a bonus to me.
This place is pricey, and a little hipster (what is hop water?),but it was yummy. So I can't complain too much. The staff answered my questions politely and without effort. Wish I could tour their kitchen...

Vegetarian options: Alot of dishes do not include meat on their own.

Kid-friendliness: Depends on the time. For breakfast and lunch yes. Dinner? Maybe. It's not that it isn't kid friendly, it's just that I don't see many.“

“Very good food made by very sweet people. I’m so thankful for them and everything they do!“

“TCR is my favorite coffee in Tucson. Best roasted beans and delish drinks/coffee.“

“We haven't had anything there that wasn't amazing. Apple/pecan pancakes are to die for. Chorizo/ egg , bean and tortilla are one of our favorite. Husband said they have outstanding Party melts.“

“Great local food! My husband and I love having Sunday breakfast at Viv's.“

“My favorite place for food and drink and the best bartenders and waitresses!!! east side Tucson Arizona !!!“

“Great food, great people, great service.“

“1st visit and will go back“

“I've been to the Wetmore location twice and they've been wonderful each time. Regina was particularly amazing and helped both me and my husband get delicious drinks, breakfast sandwiches, and pastry one afternoon last month. She was the sweetest person and made our afternoon that much better. The second time I came by in the morning with the pupper and the morning crew was full of happy good vibes and surprised my floofy boi with the best treat he could have asked for. They even made extra sure that I was covered for any potential whipped cream messes the fluffster might make in the backseat. 100/10 Would definitely recommend for the great staff. 100/10 would recommend for great drip coffee as well as fancy drinks and delicious food.🥰“

“awesome little cafe delicious food friendly staff“

“So far I've eaten lunch here twice and both times I have been thoroughly impressed by the food and the service! The quesadilla is super good and just has enough kick to be tasty but not so spicy your nose runs.... lol the poblano peppers are cooked to perfection and the pico de Gallo is delicious! Today I had the pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries and I couldn't even finish it! The bread was soft and the caramelized onions gave it a really nice touch!

Wheelchair accessibility: Alot of spacing between the tables there is a step to get to the top half of the restaurant but the lower part is spacious and nice!“

“Nice and very comfortable and very good food“

“Burger and wings were amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Happy Lemon is a delightful bubble tea spot that instantly brought a big smile to my face. The shop is spotless, making it a pleasant and comfortable place to relax. The staff are always friendly and polite, making you feel welcome from the moment you step in.

Their boba is simply amazing — it brings a sense of nostalgia with every sip, reminding you of the classic flavors that make bubble tea so enjoyable. Whether you’re in the mood for something refreshing or a sweet treat, Happy Lemon never disappoints.

What truly sets this shop apart is the cozy atmosphere. It’s not just a place to grab your drink and go, but a space to hang out. They even have board games, making it perfect for spending time with friends and family. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, share some laughs, and sip on great boba, Happy Lemon is the place to be!“

“Still good!! But bring back the old papas and bacon!! We just stopped by and we were not ready for the changes honestly was kind of disappointed! The coffee (horchesso) still on point!“

“There are so many great reasons I love living at The Flin - the location, the staff, the elegance. This Flin is wonderful for people with pets, with a convenient dog park and plenty of places to take a walk right outside the community the doors. The features that stand out to me in the apartment are the full size washer & dryer, stainless steel appliances, the neutral flooring, and big windows. I enjoy living here and it’s a fantastic addition to downtown.“

“Wow we had bday brunch this am. it was amazing. great service. great food and drink. xander was wonderful and helpful. He needs a promotion and a raise. It was not my first time but it was my best time thanks. I will be back. I recommend“

“my grandma, my neighbor Kerry and Scott I both enjoyed our meals. I love your tri Fecta breakfast it is really the best. My grandma loves your roast beef sandwich with the salad.“

“Bread-and-Butter Cafe is great. I've been going there for a few years now and it's amazing I had even though I like my eggs over medium never and my eggs over cooked. They have generous portions, and their pies are a must. Your feelings are excellent and there's just the right amount of crust, too many restaurants I noted in Tucson it crushed his way too thick. The staff is friendly, fast, and inviting. Even those bus tables keep an eye and make sure customers don't need anything. Is a prime example why people should go to local restaurants and not chain restaurants that seems to be so impersonal nowadays.“

“Parking was good. Be prepared to be amazed with the menu selection. The food is fantastic! The service was wonderful. Highly recommend this establishment.

Dietary restrictions: The server was knowledgeable of the food and capable of offering suggestions to meet your dietary needs. Highly recommended this establishment“

“The service is absolutely awesome. The food is like mom made it. I have gone here multiple times, and my family are regulars. The prices are reasonable. The pies are also fantastic. I love this place.“

“They have the best real food and great service. I have not had one thing I didn’t like. Their pineapple upside-down pancakes are amazing and their biscuits and gravy…delicious🌸“

“Dedicated made it possible for my middle daughter’s birthday cake! It was so delicious and perfect!“

“Love the music! Good food. Nice little shops. My favorite venue and a great location.“

“The service is wonderful and the drinks are great! we ordered a mango Boba and a caramel frappe. I've never had anything like it! I strongly recommend you try them. I will definitely be back!“

“Everything is fabulous. Soups, sandwiches, salads AND desserts.“
