*A favorite outdoor coffee/breakfast spot - I’ve only visited the cafe, not the restaurant*
This little cafe is one of my favorite spots to sit outside with a friend for a breakfast treat. Really the outdoor seating is the highlight here. I love sitting under the shade of the old olive tree and it’s so refreshing when they turn on the misters.
It’s also a treat to see the quality locally made goods they curate for sale. It’s very thoughtfully picked and they have exquisite taste that doesn’t feel at all intrusive. The location is also perfect for grabbing a refreshing drink, then walking around the historic neighborhood to see the shops and art galleries. It’s a wonderful way to spend a chill day walking around Tucson.
The food is decent with high-quality ingredients, but not memorable (I possibly have higher standards coming from Portland). In my opinion, it’s highly priced for the quantity and quality of what they deliver, so, while I appreciate the space, I’ve chosen not to order meals here anymore and stick to just coffee and a breakfast sandwich if it’s available. Their baked goods always look delicious, but all three times I’ve tried them, they’ve been dry and disappointing. Overall, I still love this little place for the atmosphere and find it to be one of the most enjoyable cafes to sit outside with a friend. I do wish the prices were more reasonable and the food/baked goods were good enough to keep me dreaming of my next visit.

Pretty good atmosphere but good quality for the price was a little disappointing. Got the skirt steak which somehow was extremely grisly.

My wife and I had a wonderful evening at The Coronet. We started in The Nightjar, their cozy side bar, where I had the “Rain in Spain” cocktail and she chose a lovely Spanish wine. After taking our drinks to the outdoor patio, we enjoyed the historic setting—it felt like the perfect break from our busy week.
Once our friends arrived, we sat down to a menu that struck a great balance of protein and plant-based dishes. We began with beautifully executed small plates, each one full of flavor and texture, and yes—we happily asked for bread to soak up every last bit of sauce. Our entrées were equally impressive, from the hearty short rib to the Pearl Oyster Mushroom dish (a personal favorite). Every plate was thoughtful, generous, and perfectly prepared.
The service was outstanding—attentive without ever being rushed, with impeccable timing throughout the night. Between the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the company, everything came together seamlessly.
The Coronet is truly an absolute gem for our community, offering a refined yet relaxed dining experience that feels both special and welcoming. If you’re in downtown Tucson, it’s a must-visit.

Always a lovely evening at the Coronet! From the care they take in sourcing the freshest, local ingredients, to the creative menu, and friendly service, it’s no surprise!

One of the first restaurants I visited during an extended stay in the Tucson area. Coronet offers a upscale, but relaxed dining environment (looks like the patio is a great option in the cooler months as well). Great cocktail program. The food was all excellent, we had the Shrimp Panisse and Oaxacan White Mole, both were great dishes representing the Southwestern dining cuisine. The Oaxacan White Mole stood out for the mole sauce that accented the mushrooms, great dish! The NY Strip and Seared Salmon were both excellent entrees. The Pot du Creme was a fantastic way to finish the meal.
Nightjar is a great spot to grab a drink with friends with a creative cocktail program.

They have a beautiful patio to enjoy. There is a small room with tables, and I did notice a building across from the main one where you stand in line to order. Sorry, I didn’t realize at the time it is a dining room. Granola is tasty and the latte is also very good. We also had a waffle with berries that was devoured! The service folks were accommodating and friendly. We would return.

What a delightful way to end our stay in Tucson.
The welcoming entrance made us feel like we were in for something special.
The main area has lots of wood with a well-stocked bar on the right.
However, the outside patio is very light and airy, with an archway with live plants.
Don't be intimated by the names of the foods on the menu. That is their signature and a way for their knowledgeable staff to interact with you.
The food is excellent and beautifully served.
