    Two egg toast
    Dawn C.

    A conveniently located on Congress. I've had breakfast here with friends and got coffee n pastries with friends waiting to catch the Amtrak train. They open at 7am six days a week. Today it was pretty empty being Monday and they were baking banana bread with chocolate chips; smelled amazing! Our barista got our drink out fast. Seating at ground level and in their loft. Ambiance is okay, wood tables n seats. It's a cute spot. WiFi and restrooms available

    Great service! Great coffee! We tried the iced Mocha Azteca and iced dark chocolate mocha--both delicious! I tried their pumpkin muffin--sinful! Huge and easy to split with someone. Egg sandwich was yummy as well! Definitely work stopping to start your day here!

    Service was excellent this morning and the service seems to be in a wonderful mood! Always a great spot. The Dubai White Mocha was okay but nothing special. Nonetheless it's always fun trying something new.

    The pictures of Caffe Luce sold me- mid century/industrial loft, iron floors, wired staircase, wood beams- it's design is no doubt modern. I was excited to learn they roast their own beans. I was planning to stay a couple hours and work, so I asked about drip refills? Unfortunately not, but a 25 cent discount is given.. I ordered a cafe aulait. It was too milky for my liking. Perhaps the milk/creaminess overpowered the coffee, but to be honest, it did not hit the spot. Roasting occurs at their other location- I'd probably hit up that spot and try something else if I come back again.

    This was a great hangover cure after a good night in Tucson. Came in to a friendly staff who really seemed to enjoy their job. I simply got a latte but it was great. The big plus here was the loft, which really is pretty awesome. We sat upstairs in the loft and found it to be a private but inviting location. If I lived close this would be a great place to work remote.

    Perfect Steel cut oats with fresh fruit.

    Stopped in on a Friday morning for a little bite. The steel cut oats with fresh fruit was perfectly cooked and the fruit was very fresh. I decided to try their Italian soda and I was not disappointed, the flavors were perfectly balanced. The place overall is very chill and welcoming and has great little spots to either relax and just enjoy the street traffic as it passes by or do even some work.

    Peppermint Patti Latte

    It's been a moment since the last time I was here (2019) and I am glad that I came back. The four of us ordered various versions of the peppermint patti and all of them were very good. The staff were very friendly and funny. I like the Wurlitzer in the corner and had fun explaining to my son how they work. See if you can find the typo in my fourth picture ;)

    Cute coffee shop on the corner of Fifth and Congress. Lots of tea and coffee options as well as some pastries. Ambiance is urban-industrial with seating options both upstairs and downstairs. I tried the iced Aztec mocha latte and it was perfectly sweetened with some delicious spices added. Friendly baristas but be prepared for a little wait as they appear to get pretty busy.

    Dave sandwich and iced Azteca mocha
    Geraldine R.

    Loved, loved, loved my experience here! Stopped by in the morning after a train ride and the Dave Sandwich hit the spot! Was thankful they put the Tapatio on the side since I don't tolerate spice well. The Azteca Mocha was delicious -- not too sweet, subtly cinnamony. Thr employees were just so kind -- felt so welcomed after my long trip. I honestly wish I had spent more time enjoying this space!

    This spot is one of my favorite coffee shops in Tucson. I have come here for all kinds of reasons- somewhere quiet to work, a first date, and a place to hang with friends. It has a great atmosphere with lots of seating options. The coffee is consistently delicious with lots of flavor options. Their good quite good too, the grilled PB&J is my favorite. The staff are SOOOOO friendly and do their best to help you have a good experience. I highly recommend this place to folks coming in town for the weekend or locals.

    Located at the corner of Congress/Fifth Ave which places it across from The Hub and Club Congress. Great, industrial ambiance, with a high-ceilinged main floor and a cozy upstairs resulting in nifty, multiple separated seating areas. Convenient location if working or visiting downtown (but pretty much no street parking if solely coming for coffee here). Drinks encompass all that you might expect from a cafe and come in three typical sizes (12, 16, and 20 oz) and are priced similarly to other coffeehouses. Barrista didn't mention any kind of loyalty/rewards program and we couldn't find any mention on website either, so that might discourage some.

    Love this place! Service was quick and super friendly - the almond-milk chai is perfectly delicious and spicy! There are tons of place to sit on each level and decor is comfortably industrial. Will for sure be back again :)

    I ordered the pure matchalicous power smoothie. On the menu, it is listed as having banana, kale,…read moreagave, matcha, and coconut milk. In reality, there is no indication of matcha outside of the color. If I didn't know that there was supposed to be matcha in it, I would have attributed the color to something like kale alone. It wasn't bad, but it definitely is not what is advertised. Something I was also baffled about was the general poor service. The cashier didn't know what was in the smoothie when I made sure it was dairy free, and it was exponentially slow considering that I was the only person there. I can attribute both of those to training issues, but there's also the matter of the topic of conversation very loudly being held by the employees, which kind of ruined the vibes.

    Can I post a ZERO STAR review? Excuse me but when you order a "latte" anywhere, that implies there…read morewould be coffee in it. Nope. Here you get a watered down coconut milk with an overly sweet, syrupy lavender that is so sweet it's sickening, and a mouthful of dried roses. Even when I asked about it, I was told no. And when I asked if they could toss mine in the trash they said I could walk down the dirty curb to the overflowing trash can that's probably been full for the entire week. I left it on their counter. This after paying almost $38 for two overly sweet bowls, and this "yuck water." No refund offered. And they kept the 20% tip. Don't come here. Let's also not forget the filthy outside tables, chairs, and concrete. And the inside so dirty and they had their child running around in the cramped space. ** update: The manager was informed and reimbursed my "latte" -- not the tip but then she offered a coffee from her other store.
