50 Best Coffee Shops in Tucson

“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.“

“Amazing good with kind employees.“

“Since their opening I've managed to visit a few times for my Redeye. The coffee is superb. The light menu is perfect! But most of all is the staff. Absolutely great people you have. I live down the street and want to make a morning coffee with you my routine.“

“This is my favorite locally-owned coffee place. Genuine service with a smile. Perfectly brewed coffee. Awesome bf burritos too! The "Cheers" of coffee hangouts. 5 Stars!“

“We live super close to licks and I love to always try a different flavor and there custom milkshakes are so good also, if you look to the right of the fridge and between the lounge area on the wall there’s a menu for a bunch of different types of ice cream like one is a peanut butter sorta vibe ice cream cone and also another amazing thing is there staff they are always so friendly, I highly recommend this if your driving by or if you are eating dinner somewhere near I definitely recommend stopping by.“

“I had the best caramel macchiato from here! The menu is impressive, lots of variety and high quality food. The owners are super friendly! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Honestly, this place has some of the best quality coffee I have ever had. I’m an avid coffee drinker and have tried coffee all over and make my own at home. It’s such a treat to get a 24oz from Coffee Times Drive-Thru. If you haven’t been here before I absolutely recommend it. Plus the staff is always super friendly. I’m glad they are still in business and survived the pandemic. I hope they stay in business for years to come. Thank you so much Coffee Times for the opportunity to support a wonderful local coffee shop!“

“Delicious Papácito burro lol 😂“

“Coffee like you like it.🤎☕️“

“Has quickly become my go-to coffee spot during the workweek. Great service, friendly staff, and awesome coffee. Try their specialty coffee, Cafe De Olla, the spices are wonderful and balanced. My favorite is the Chapopin, great balance of flavors, and the 32oz size option is certainly a nice change from other spots!“

“I came in with my pup who turned 7 today! I asked questions about flavors and about my nerves of them possibly melting as I drove across town (30/45min). I found a flavor my dog LOVES and the gal working today offered to send me with frozen mini pupcakes instead of the ready to eat refrigerated ones to help with the travels! 10/10 would recommend! Hope to stop again when we travel back through! The birthday bandana is from there as well! They even had testers for correct sizing!“

“Huge shout out to my girl Emerson (spelling eek) for being awesome sauce and putting a smile on my face! Tanque verde store rules! PS Rob too! That extra mile is appreciated 😊 That Lavender cold brew 🔥“

“Better than starbucks, black coffee, and all these other crappy coffee shops. Theyre consistent with the same flavor and they have a nice variety of coffee& tea. I also love that they once in a while give you free things I loved the Keychain the most. Very nice people too I go here almost every day.“

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

“Mocha 911 freeze picture perfect with whip“

“Such a beautiful space to listen and enjoy fine music. Amy subtitles Exo Bar, aka El Crisol, 'the listening room' and, indeed, it's the music that speaks and it speaks volumes. I'm thankful that some of my most memorable nights in Tucson have been spent there.“

“Great shakes and energy drinks!“

“The best latte I've ever had! Each cup of coffee is brewed separately, and the result is delicious! The Barnstable was extra friendly, professional and has a true passion for his customers!
The raspberry crumble is so tasty! Yummy!“

“My go to breakfast spot!!!“

“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!“

“Just discovering this place ! and it’s the best coffee in town. It is asian coffee so it’s strong than most to keep that in mind! but they also have a lot of other amazing options. They are family locally owned , and a great atmosphere with games and seating and good vibes to chill or catch up with friends. Definitely try!“

“Yet another Tucson coffee shope gem. I loved seeing Cariño’s coffee cart around town, and they have really created something beautiful in their brick and mortar spot. The conchas and drinks are delicious, the indoor area is sleek and peaceful, and the outdoor area and patio is welcoming and dog-friendly. Please be sure to stop in and support this sweet local spot.“

“What can I say about the coffee? so amazing and people should visit this place... I had an amazing experience 💜💙💜“

“Good experience and service!“

“My husband and I have been going to their locations since they first opened, and we are HUGE fans! We absolutely love everything about them—the service is always amazing, the staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the drinks and food never disappoint. We honestly don’t get our coffee anywhere else anymore because nothing else compares!

One of our favorite things is how fun, creative, and nerdy they are. As fellow nerds, we absolutely love all the personality they bring to the experience. It’s not just a coffee stop for us—it’s a place we genuinely look forward to visiting. They are hands down some of the best coffee we’ve ever had, and we’ll happily keep supporting them! ☕❤🤓“

“7 Brew Coffee was such a cute little find! ☕💗 The Bubble Gum Lemonade was absolutely delicious—so flavorful and refreshing! 🍋✨ I also tried the iced caramel macchiato, and it was so smooth and creamy. Everything was delicious, and I’ll definitely be back to try more! 😋☕“

“Our daughter and her new hubby got married 2.5 weeks ago. Neither likes cake, so they did not want a wedding cake at the reception. Instead, they decided to go with a macaron tower, but where to get it made? We discovered that Woops and the wonderful Ellie could produce such a masterpiece. The tower and additional platters on the side were the highlight of the dessert table. Not only was it stunning, unique and delicious, but it was also a striking centerpiece! Our guests marveled! Thank you, Ellie, for added to the celebration in such an impressive manner. Can’t wait to call on you again for our next event. You’re an artist!“

“Decibel's location is out-of-the way, but charming once you find it. Their iced coffee hit the spot on a warm, relaxed weekend morning.“

“juicy chicken jalapeno poppers and the fresh donuts“

“The service and food was amazing. I’m so excited to say that after months of coming back one of my favorite hostesses, Olivia is now bumped up to server. She did an amazing job and the food was amazing as always I’m so glad to see that the restaurant continues to improve and I’m happy to say that Olivia makes Sonoran house feel like a Sonoran home.“

“Tried Starbucks? Too strong? Tried Dutch Bros? Too watered down? Well, you're in luck because Brewed Awakening makes a repeat customer out of you with their good coffee. The bonus is you don't have to refinance your home to support your coffee addiction.“

“Came here every time I was in town to visit my WildCat! Great service, great tea options and I love that I can buy to take home!“

“The most pleasant coffee shop experience. The staff is the friendliest in town, the coffee is the best in town, and their pastries made in-house are phenomenal.“

“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.“

“I am a total coffee nerd, and when I found Presta on a trip to Tucson last year, I immediately fell in love! They are now on my list of roasters around the country that I have found and order espresso beans from, and that's a very short list! Highly recommend, and I visit anytime I'm in town!“
