First time coming here and was greeted right away by barista! They have a great drink selection so it was hard to choose. Me and my mom were both looking for something a little different so we got a Golden Latte I believe it's called which has Tumeric, ginger, pepper different things like that and it was SO GOOD! Love the foam artwork as well. Great prices. Definitely coming back to try more drinks here when in the area. Can't wait to go back and try the pizza place inside also! There is also lots of seating areas inside if your looking to read or study.

Nestled in downtown Tucson, this coffee is a delight. I tried the Nitro cold brew. It was creamy, smooth, a bit acidic, and a tasty treat overall. The chocolate donut tasted like anise (black licorice) which was both unexpected and not very welcome, honestly. But, the texture was nice!

Excellent fresh roasted coffee beans. I usually prefer single origin over blends, but their blends are particularly delicious. Plus you get a free coffee when you buy a bag o'beans.

I really enjoyed this coffee shop. The ambiance is different and the decorations are fun. I was blown away by the vegan pop tart, it's really hard to make good pastry dough without eggs and butter and they did a bang-up job. I ordered one of their specialty coffees, the iconic tonic, and was surprised by how well espresso, grapefruit juice, and tonic water go together. Basically the food and drinks here are incredibly creative and blew me away with their innovation.

Definitely one of the best pizza spots in Tucson. Not very well known for pizza yet I love the a la Lena (on firewood) concept. I attached the menu. The service shined yet the crown winner was the pizza. I was surprised how good it was. We also got the Elote loco and it was acceptable. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming. I will highly recommend this spot.

This was such a cute coffee house. The coffee is slow poured and tasted delicious. The burritos were so good. I had the poblano breakfast burrito. I highly recommend trying this here. There are lots of light and happy plants all about the shop. There is also some pretty fun merch for sale.
