50 Best Coffee Shops in Tucson

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

“Today I walked into the cafe for the first time, Ive never heard of it and a friend recommended it to me and the service was amazing I thought Serra was the General Manager, great atmosphere and amazing food and drinks ! Thank you Serra For such a lovely first time ! Cant wait to come back again !!“

“Love this coffee spot! What a beautiful little place to grab a cup of coffee - wonderful energy, easy-feeling on a Saturday morning. Rene and Tyler are both so friendly and good energy. I had an Americano with oat milk, husband had Decaf Mocha Latte — both were delicious. We’re going back again tomorrow morning - early so we can hangout there a bit. Highly recommend.“

“The place is really nice and clean and the food is great. The service was meh, the girl at the register straight up lied to me and said they dont make coffee/latte, but when i left, i saw someone get up to get their iced latte..? Idk why she would lie to me and make it for othet people?“

“I’ve lived in Tucson for a few years now, and every time I have visitors I try to bring them here. First off, the space is whimsical and inviting, with fluffy clouds hanging above and an earthy green-blue all around. The display case of truffles, pastries, and ice cream is like something out of a movie. The chocolate itself is complex and balanced. The packaging itself is art. I particularly enjoy the mesquite white chocolate, the hot chocolate, and any of their truffles. They also have a lovely market stocked with local goods and gifts. The last time I was in there, the person at the counter offered recommendations, asked about my favorite flavors, smiled, waited patiently while I took forever to make my selections, and offered samples! The closest thing to perfect customer service (and genuine kindness) you’ll find.

I find myself having to comment on pricing too often in reviews, mostly in response to others’ low reviews based solely on pricing. To be blunt, costs are high because of failed international economic policy first and foremost. If you’re reading this and cost (as opposed to quality, flavor, experience, or anything else) is of utmost concern to you when deciding where to buy chocolate (or any food, for that matter), this might not be the place for you. If you’re willing and able to spend your money on local, quality goods that go the extra mile (and support our local economy) this spot won’t disappoint!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you love coffee, you have to try The Sonoran House! ☕️ Their in-house roasted beans make for one of the best iced lattes I’ve ever had—I loved it so much I went back for seconds. Smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced.

The food here is a complete bonus. The Breakfast Crunchwrap and Guajillo Garlic Chicken Melt are made with fresh, local ingredients and full of Sonoran flavor. Portions are generous, so come hungry!

What makes the experience even better is the vibe—local Tucson and Arizona-based, a warm atmosphere, and friendly customer service that makes you feel right at home. There are plenty of tables and inviting spaces to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and conversation with friends.

And if you’re looking for great, local Tucson items or gifts, their market is fantastic; ceramics, candles, wine, craft beer and more.

For exceptional coffee, tasty bites, and a true Tucson experience, The Sonoran House is a must-visit. 🌵✨“

“Amazing good with kind employees.“

“Second time at a Dutch Bros….I’m kinda in love now…only down here on vacation….NEED ONE IN NEBRASKA ASAP!! Omaha preferably ❤️“

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

“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!“

“Cartel Roasting Co. has a great variety of roasted coffee beans. Once you get used to Cartel Coffee quality, you will find yourself returning for more.“

“Our local Dutch Brothers in Tucson Az (Wilmot/Broadway) is the BEST!! My coffee is always the way I like it and the staff are fun and always in a great mood. Love this location!“

He is very knowledge about all things coffee and offered good suggestions for getting my own espresso set up. This place is worth checking out.“

“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.“

“Simply delicious. Friendly server, short wait for food, affordable. Loved the iced mint tea too.“

“I've been a customer here for years and love the drinks, atmosphere, and friendly staff. Exo sources and roasts their own beans. They also sell goods from local vendors for a quick gift.
