    This stop gets 5 stars just for the vibes . Lots of seating options , indoor our outdoor . We chose outdoor with the live band. My honey cinnamon latte was divine . They do serve breakfast ALL- day ! You'll find many vegan options here . Definitely a gem in town .

    No. 5 Vegan Burrito
    Unique A.

    Want to note the 4% fee on credit card transactions. Also +$1 for non dairy milk. My burrito and espresso shot came to $19 before the tip. Love the vibes here and how unexpectedly big this place is. It was super crowded when I went but all the wait staff were doing a good job and food didn't take too long. I've gotten this vegan burrito three times - the first time I think it was the first day they had it on the menu and it wasn't good, very salty and the tofu had no actual flavor :( . The second time was MUCH better and tasted great but it came as one burrito, not two smaller ones like the picture I posted. The third time is as pictured - I actually like the two smaller burritos better. The espresso was fine, strong. I've previously had the cold brew, also alright and strong. I've also previously had the veggie sandwich and tofu scramble which were ok but for the price (both $16, may come to $18 if using a CC) left A LOT to be desired. The burrito is definitely the better value.

    I came here for brunch and really enjoyed it! It's a cool, charming spot on 4th with a relaxed and quiet atmosphere. I ordered the Migas plate, which included scrambled eggs mixed with torn corn tortillas, served with a side of beans and a cup of salsa. The staff was friendly, and despite how busy it was, the service was quick. The food was tasty, and I'd definitely come back again!

    We had a really great brunch prior to our visit to the Tucson Museum of Art. The food was simple and good, we ordered the Migas plate sub tofu for egg and we also enjoyed a glad of iced coffee. The day was windy but we still sat outside and enjoyed our meal. Lots more seating outback than inside, inside had a small sit at the bar area and a cozy indoor space. Parking is on the street or down the street parking, all metered. Bathroom for guests and great service.

    I've been visiting Cafe Passe since I was a student at the UA (many moons ago) and these days, love stopping by during the sleepy summer months. The staff is always so friendly and the space is so warm and welcoming (but appropriately cool, given the AC.) I ordered a hibiscus iced tea and taco salad with beef and a side of salsa during my most recent visit and was quickly reminded why this has been a longtime favorite for so many. The tea was delicious and flavorful and the salad simple and perfect. The beef was perfectly cooked and the veggies crisp and fresh. Caffe Passe continues to be a gem of the 4th Ave/downtown area.

    Four out of five mornings in Tucson we had breakfast here! Charming cafe, large patio seating, dog friendly tho we don't have our pup with us. Everything we had was so good we would have it again, but we wanted to try other items. Oddly enough neither of had breakfast burritos which is usually the husband's favorite. We had French toast (with berry and lemon curd topping) tofu scrambles, eggs with the "usual" (but better than usual!) and a bagel sandwich with humans, greens, tomat s and olives. Everything was yummy. Service was friendly, attentive and at the same time chill!

    I'm updating my review for sure. So you know the song "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joanie Mitchell saying you don't know what you got til it's gone. After being closed for many years it opened up last year, I missed it so much. Updated kitchen and table service with a larger selection on the menu. So the song was almost right, but I will not take it for granted ever again.

    Went here on a Sunday, which just happened to coincide with the 4th Ave Street fair. To our pleasure though, the restaurant was not busy, and we were able to grab a spot in the cute outside ally for seating . We ordered the breakfast fries, breakfast sandwich, ranch fries, and the lemon blueberry French toast. Our server was nice buuut not attentive I think, as she came back 3x's to confirm something or ask about something she forgot. The food was good, with the exception of the French toast which was incredibly soggy and cold (even to the touch). I don't understand this as I would assume it was made fresh. Anyway, they rectified the situation and all was good. Overall, cool visit, but does t necessarily pull me back to go again.

    Super cute cafe with " hidden " shabby chic garden out back. Very casual and kitschy. Coffee is done well and service friendly!

    Great afternoon tunes

    Cafe Passe is an absolute gem at the heart of 4th Ave. The building itself has quirky charm, and my favorite area for caffeinated bliss is back in the courtyard. I typically think of Passé as a relaxing brunch and coffee location with quiet ambience, but during a recent visit on an otherwise generic Sunday, I happened to catch live music there too, which really made my day. I didn't realize they host performers regularly now, and the menu has several options that were new to me too. Both the to-go and main dining areas can be busy during street fairs and other events, but in general it's an easygoing place with quick access via the trolley and excellent access to local shops and businesses. Already looking forward to heading back and sucking down lattes all afternoon!

    Awesome little place that really puts some love in their food and customer service. Uploading pictures of menu as of 1-6-2026.

    Lunch for two.

    I am glad this place opened back up again! Fantastic workers and supporting local. The ambiance of this cafe truly takes you away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. I miss pieces of their old menu with croissants and hope they can bring that back in the future. Attached is the meal a friend and I got for our lunch. I have gotten quesadillas and they had gotten a more breakfast like dish with French toast.

    I'm happy to have finally gotten a chance to visit Unicorn Zebra since it's been on my list from…read morethe time they opened. It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

    The decor, overall vibe, and drink menu are really fun, but the bartender we had kind of killed the…read moreexperience. We'd heard good things about this place and have been trying to support local downtown bars this summer, so we stopped in around 11 on a Friday night before heading home. As we sat down, we watched the bartender be pretty dismissive toward another group at the bar, so we were already a little unsure. We started talking about the decor because we liked the eclectic vibe. We jokingly pointed out that one of the pictures had a joint instead of a cigarette because someone in our group hadn't noticed. One of the bartender's first comments back, completely seriously, was, "I'm from San Diego. Have you never seen art before?" Honestly... what? It was such a weird, unnecessarily condescending response. I brushed it off at first as awkward banter, but it was a really strange first impression. The drinks were decent. The Loverlist was really good, and the Unicorn Fluff and Old Fashioned were fine. The bartender was quick to talk up their whiskey selection, but when we asked for a recommendation, she mostly gave reasons why she couldn't recommend anything and just kept saying they had "over 90 different options." Without a whiskey menu to look through, that wasn't especially helpful. We also asked for a shooter and were offered half of a cocktail instead. That would've been totally fine on its own, but combined with everything else, the service just never felt welcoming. We ended up leaving pretty quickly. I'd give the place another shot because the atmosphere is fun and has a lot of potential, but hopefully with a different bartender behind the bar.
