The building is beautiful. However, the rosemary scone didn’t have any flavor (tasted plain, barely had any rosemary in it). The espresso used for my Americano was not strong enough and the water was so hot that the cream split! I see others have had this issue with cold drinks… maybe an issue with refrigeration or age of the milk products. The barista did kindly remake the drink with no cream. Even still, the drink lacked flavor/punch expected of an Americano.

Such an adorable little cafe ! Full of yummy bakery items , deli ( the dandy veggie is vegan ) , and delicious lattes & espresso. Indoor or outdoor seating available . Deli items sell out quickly.

Super cute downtown cafe with fresh baked goods and a solid latte:)

I didn't get a picture of the pastries before we scarfed them down, but everything we tried (cookie, muffin, scone, hot chocolate, tea) was great, and the server was very friendly and helpful.

Precarious, but okay, I guess, really long wait for just a cup of basic drip coffee, kinda heads watching experience.

The dirty chai was not good, not sure why, but it was missing something. What was it missing? No clue. Just was not grinding my gears the right way. I got a sandwich which was actually pretty good. It had meat on it, but cannot remember what it was called, but I went back a second time and got a veggie sandwich, which tasted weird, and I got a burrito which tasted bleh. This place is a hit and miss. Super friendly staff. Super cute building. I usually do not leave food or drink when I go out, but multiple times I have here. They are almost there, but the flavors gotta get there first. It was not bland, but it was not great either. This place is just missing something, but has great potential.

First time here and it was great! We had a burrito and it was delicious! Our coffee and tea were great as well. The blueberry muffin was nice and toasty on the outside and moist on the inside. We loved the environment of the café. Will definitely be back to taste the rest of the delicious pastries and other food options.

I got 2 sandwiches from the cold case and WOW, delicious!!! The bread is focaccia and the toppings are super high quality. Color me impressed!!! Super cute little cafe too!

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 :)
Found this cute place on a fluke!! LOVE it!! But they did not behave gluten-free options for pasteries. I would go back though as the coffee, service and atmosphere were great!
Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible as there are steep stairs but someone was able to go in with a walker.

They were sold out of their main breakfast items by 10am, and they open at 9am. So get there around opening if you want to eat one of the breakfast options. (And you definitely do. That might’ve been the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had...) There were plenty of in-house bakery items and pastries though, and they were delicious. Beverages were delicious as well, just be prepared to wait a bit for less basic drink orders.
Vegetarian options: They have plant-based milk alternatives available.
Parking: If you go on the weekend, street parking is free. But if you get unlucky, it might be crowded and difficult to find a free spot nearby.
Wheelchair accessibility: They have steep stairs going into the main entrance, but there is a padded handrail to assist. There is also a doorbell for the wheelchair accessible entrance, which is a gate that opens a few feet away from the main door so you can come in from a different direction. Inside there is plenty of space in between tables and around the ordering area to wheel around.

Best baked goods in town! Not too sweet and always on point! The drinks are also well made. You can tell they use quality ingredients. I always make sure to stop by when I’m in the area!

We had some tacos there during the Folk Festival. They were excellent, and generous!
