50 Best Cafes in Tucson

“♡︎♥︎ So Good ! Cute / Fun Place.“

“Absolutely the best breakfast and lunch restaurant in downtown Tucson. Not only is the food exceptional you couldn't ask for better service. They make you feel like family almost immediately“

“My fiancé and I have been stopping by this donut shop over the past couple years a handful of times and the wonderful ladies behind the counter are always amazing. The chicken tenders are always piping hot and the sauces are delicious. Can't wait to come by again!“

“I had my retirement party there a little over a week ago. The staff was great - helpful, attentive, yet unobtrusive... and also friendly and just really nice. The food was absolutely fantastic. All of my guests raved about the dinner and the cakes we had for desert. So many thanks to the chef(s) for a delicious meal. The venue was charming and, because the weather was about perfect that night, we were able to enjoy the patio as well as being inside. I can't thank the staff at Café a la C'Artl/Carte Blanche catering enough for making our celebration so great!“

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

“We showed up right after morning rush time, a few people working on their computers. Quiet & phenomenal service. Managed to snag a few merch items and some delicious coffee beans. They absolutely know what they’re doing. Will always be a staple on our trips into Tucson.“

“I’ve never had a bad meal there. Just tried their stuffed avocado and it was excellent. If you haven’t been to the Eclectic Cafe, give it a try! 😋“

“What a wicked good place to try in downtown Tucson! We came down for the El Tour de Tucson event and stayed for a bit.

This was one of the options that included vegan food, not just drink. I was able to meet up with an old co-worker as it was her local recommendation for a coffee stop.

I tried an oat milk latte with cinnamon steamed in. The coffee was hot, tasted great and had enough cinnamon to taste and not be overpowered.

Because so few places have baked vegan goods, I tried an orange olive oil baby Bundt cake. MMMM it was delicious! Light and fluffy. The orange came through well. Slightly sweet but not overly so. The olive oil kept the cake moist.

The service was good and they have a good gift shop area with local crafts. Well made and visually appealing for everything.

The cafe itself was super clean: the staff kept up on the cleaning as customers came and went. It made for an overall great experience and worth recommending!“

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

“I was recommended the country fried chicken...well worth it I will go out of my way to come back for it again“

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

“On the move again and found ourselves needing to get something to eat. Had a craving for breakfast and Cup Cafe won the search. Nestled inside the classic Hotel Congress. This quaint spot has a very rustic vibe. Plenty of exterior seating, cozy interior feel. Excellent customer service from start to finish and the food was excellent. Make sure you check out the quote wall. Parking will be a challenge, however, there are parking structures well within walking distance. Also, several other venues such as other restaurants, convention center, even multiple hotels and public service facilities. Will be visiting again.“

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

“Enjoyed my coffee and company. Will definitely be back to enjoy a meal.“

“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 !!!“

“1st visit and will go back“

“Lovely spot featuring Monsoon’s Tucson-made chocolate and beverages. We tried the Frocho, Sonoran hot chocolate and the horchata, along with a ginger molasses cookie. Everything was delicious and artfully presented. The marker sells chocolate bars (the supply was low when we there and the truffles were sold out!) and a small selection of other artisan and local goods.“

“A great spot on campus to both catch up with friends as well as study. Being inside ENR2 gives the whole area a serene, relaxing vibe. There is ample seating area, all maintained very well and clean. The university WiFi has strong signal inside the cafe as well, so no interruption to work at all.

Limited options on menu but all are reasonably priced (compared to other places on campus). Service was excellent, the sandwich was very tasty😋. Definitely a spot I’ll frequent the rest of my time at UofA.“

“awesome little cafe delicious food friendly staff“

“Ok this place is cozy and the food is delicious!!! Mushroom burger and steak Quesadilla was our order tonight and can't believe we had the place almost to ourselves. Live music in the background by the coffee bar was perfectly for the mood in this favorite place of ours. Nico was an excellent server. He helped us design the pizza we ordered as an appetizer. Yep we love food and The Bistro didn't disappoint. We will be back!“

“Nice and very comfortable and very good food“

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

“I am genuinely impressed with the product offerings on Happy Lemon's menu. However, my primary motivation for this correspondence is to commend the exceptional staff. The owner, along with the entire team, consistently extends a warm and personalized welcome. Each visit to Happy Lemon assures me of a distinguished experience, characterized by their genuine smiles and unparalleled attentiveness. I recently learned of their Google award, which I believe is thoroughly deserved. It is evident that their focus transcends accolades, prioritizing customer service delivered with a positive demeanor. This establishment extends an invitation to savor their diverse beverage selection, encouraging patrons to unwind and indulge in a well-deserved moment of relaxation and pampering.“

“Awesome drinks I love the Wetmore/ruthraff location and my favorite drink is the blue volt.“

“Our regular spot for a great breakfast.“

“Great value, $24 for adults all you can eat buffet ($12 for kids). It has a made-to-order omelette bar, all kinds of great options including pozole. Yogurt parfait and berry station, even had w custom juices (a green one and orange/cantaloupe one). Honestly a lot better than I would have expected.
Our server was awesome about being mindful of budget and told us some hacks on the menu. We felt like family, excellent dining experience! Gino took great care of us… we’ll be back 🙂“

“cheesecake smoothie yummo“

“Best coffee in Tucson hands down!“

“Absolutely loved finally getting to visit their physical coffee shop—it’s such a fantastic experience seeing it all come to life! The space and menu are beautifully inspired by Persian flavors, and they offer a great variety of vegan and dietary-friendly options. I had the pistachio cold coffee (incredible!), and the owner suggested oat milk instead of almond—it was the perfect choice. I paired it with a pistachio cookie, and honestly, it was an unbeatable combo. If you’re anywhere near Tucson, this spot is a must. My wife and I drove 45 minutes each way, and we will do it again very soon.“

“Food is AUTHENTIC Mexican and absolutely delicious! Staff is super friendly and amazing people! Definitely recommend 💯“

“Really good to go eat some munchies and amazing customer service“

“First time in and Exceeded beyond my expectations on service, food, and atmosphere. Craig was patient with us for it was our first time very helpful at the same time. Grab the strawberry dress leches French toast, and the Barbacoa Chilaquiles. Both are a must try, and then we washed that down with a Purple Haze and a Pineapple Express.
P.S. the million dollar bacon is amazing!!“

“what an amazing place. not just for the coffees but for the kindness of those who work there.“

“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.“

“Very welcoming. Servers were great. Food came fast and was cooked perfectly. And prices were very reasonable.“

“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.“

“Out waiter, Chadwyck, when out of his way to make sure my son and I were happy, and described the difference between hash browns & country potatoes so kindly. I would also like to comment on your bathrooms- so pleased to see a space for changing diapers in the ladies restroom, and all the rolls of toilet paper- BRILLANT!!! No one likes to get caught "with their pants down"“
