I have been going to Coffee Times since I moved to Tucson in 2006, and it just seems to get better and better. The coffee is very good and reasonably priced; my favorite when it's warm (which is most of the time!) is the cold brew, which is smooth and rich without any acidic bite. The lattes are also excellent and super creative, and the matcha is good as well. Coffee Times also offers a variety of baked treats, including vegan pastries from Holden's Rise Above. Best of all, the service is personal, friendly, and super efficient considering how long the lines can be some mornings. The drive-thru is convenient, but even on days when I'm driving instead of stopping by in the middle of a long walk with my pup, I prefer to park and use the walk-up window if the weather is nice. The people who visit Coffee Times are almost as cool as the people who work there, and I frequently enjoy a chat (and, if I'm lucky, a doggie greeting) while I'm waiting. Oh, and my dogs assure me that the pup cups and treats are top notch :-) A Tucson institution that's definitely worth a visit! read more

Coffee Times Drive - Great pup cups! (And coffee and human treats, too!) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've been going to the drive-through at coffee times since 2009 when I was in nursing school. They've always had a wonderful selection of local pastries, bagels and snacks as well as coffee and tea. A local coffee drive-through spot that's we're checking out. You can walk up, but mostly I do drive-through because it's very popular and very busy Recently. They opened a Dunkin' Donuts next-door so if you wanted to get a doughnut and then get coffee, I suppose you could but their pastries are pretty awesome and as of today, I learned they offer Tucson tamales. A really wonderful choice if you're wanting food instead of a pastry. read more

Great service, really nice people. Love the iced mocha & pastries. I will always support local!

After always seeing this place on social media and even driving by, I was so excited to finally give it a try. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. :( The service was friendly and quick though! It's a drive thru only coffee shop so keep that in mind! I was excited to try a limited time drink, the Wookie Cookie Frappe but it was extremely bland and tasted more like a milkshake, no coffee or cookie butter taste! I also ordered a Strawberry Banana smoothie and it wasn't anything spectacular. I also thought it was a little pricy, especially for the small. Although my experience wasn't the best, I will be back soon! I haven't given up hope that this place is good. Maybe next time I'll try something a little more basic but classic, because they have a lot on the menu (which I love). read more

This place is a staple and I could not be happier to support it. Let me be clear, it is ONLY walk-up/drive thru, no seating or anything. The staff are always friendly and kind, and there are a good variety of options. Employees are well paid and the quality of coffee is delicious, which makes everyone happy! They are an ethical and supportive local business, run don't walk to Coffee Times! read more

They are always so sweet to me! I always ask for recommendations and they are spot on with their recs. Will always go here over dunkin! If you haven't tried their vegan pastries, get the bear claw. read more

Very kind staff! I sometimes call ahead to make sure they have certain breakfast treats so they will hold for me. Food is delicious. I've had black coffee, lattes, and matcha. All very good! Love this place! read more

The staff are so friendly and will make you anything you want. They care about the little details for your drink and don't charge you a kidney for it! They also partner with local shops for pastries and snacks and they are delicious. I got an iced Americano with salted Carmel and cream and it was heavenly. Tip, if the drive through lines are long, you can park and walk up to their window in the front. read more

Coffee Times Drive - Cacao protein pak smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Super impressed! I love supporting local businesses and the coffee is great too. I was really impressed with the variety for such a small building. I've tried the white mocha and salted honey iced lattes so far and they were amazing. I wasn't sure what to try the second time and the lady working drive thru was super nice and helpful. No seating, drive thru only but I love that because I'm never sitting down to drink a cup of coffee leisurely. read more

The drive through line moved quickly for a Saturday morning. I had to try the Chinese Chorizo turnovers. They were flaky, crispy and had a good amount of chorizo. It was delicious. I also had the lavender latte and it was smooth with a hint of lavender. Great service and friendly staff. read more

Overall enjoyed my experience even though it was a drive through. I was recommended, for a smoothie, the Cacao one. It did not disappoint. Had dark chocolate. Cocoa, almond milk, banana, pea protein, one shot (but i got two!). Was delicious and provided an energy boost. I would be back l for their lattes or coffee if in the area again. Friendly staff. Ambiance was outside, but you could order in person in the front as well. Very well run and efficient. read more

I am going to preface my review by saying I rarely go to coffee shops, I'm not a big coffee drinker but I enjoy a little bit in the morning. I normally make my coffee at home, but unfortunately I ran out. Anyway, when I'm trying a new coffee place I always order black coffee to see what the base is. Is it rich? Is it watery? Is it acidic? I want to tell the quality of their coffee without all the cream and sugar added. I will not go back to a coffee shop if they have a weak or watery black coffee. Obviously from my five star review, their black coffee is delicious! It is super flavorful: rich, dark, bold, absolutely scrumptious. I can see why they have such good reviews, and long lines. If I'm ever in the need of coffee, this will definitely be my go to spot now. read more

Solid vanilla latte where you can taste the kick of the espresso coupled with vanilla hints to not overpower the latte. Friendly staff. Puppers friendly- and my grandfur loved her pup cup and would have wanted to try my latte if I wasn't such a meanie by not allowing her. When the staff show so much love and the coffee is good... it makes a rainy day so bright! read more

Coffee Times Drive - The aftermath of a pup cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

It's 2025 and this coffee stand is still here! This is the best coffee stand I've ever visited. Please, never change! We always visit every time we are in Tucson. We drive over an hour round trip just to get it. The white chocolate frappe is so refreshing. I ask for half the chocolate so that it is less sweet, but it still has good flavor. My husband recognized the barista and thinks it's the same guy that was here back in 2014 era. This is my favorite coffee place in the world, and I live in Seattle now so there's also tons of coffee places here as well, just nothing as good as Coffee Times. I hope this coffee stand will stand the test of time and never change its recipes. I love Coffee Times! read more

I went to coffee times not long ago and tried the salted honey latte and I wouldn't say that I loved it, it wasn't just what I expected. It had cinnamon as well which is weird because two other drinks I believe also have cinnamon but it's not stated in the menu.. We also tried the matcha and it wasn't well whisked and it was full of clumps. Overall for drinks I would give it a 6/10. Services was good, the ladies that worked there were super nice and friendly. Overall experience I would give it a 6.5/10 They only have drive thru but they were pretty fast. read more

I want to say thank you to Coffee Times for a few things. Since I've moved here from Alaska I've really been missing small drive through coffee huts, it's just so much better than those big chains! When I found Coffee Times it was like heaven. I've only been able to stop by a few times with my busy schedule, but each time it's made my day so much better. Everyone is so friendly there and very skilled at what they do! I also want to thank the wonderful people who helped me today. I know mistakes happen so that's why I felt bad coming back. My coffee was made wrong, but when I did come back they were more than happy to help me and make it right. So my anxiety thanks you lol! I'll definitely come back many times over for my favorite coffee! read more

Coffee Times Drive - Iced white chocolate mocha with coconut! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I can't say enough good things about Coffee Times. Seriously the best coffee shop in Tucson! They're a local business, delicious coffee, fresh smoothies, and fair prices! They treat their employees well, and it shows in their customer service! They also offer Houlden's Rise Above Vegan pastries that are TO DIE FOR. The duel drive-thru layout means you never wait too long and they usually have someone out taking orders from the car during busy times. Keep an eye out on the specials board for a rockin' deal! And follow them on social media to see what they have going on as far as community involvement! read more

I don't know how or why I've been sleeping on Coffee Times for soooo long. This little place is fantastic. I am a black coffee/espresso drinker. The only thing I'm willing to add to my coffee is some packets of sugar-free sweetener, but it's not necessary. That said, because of the big box training to want overly sugary and overly watered down coffee with a variety of dairy or dairy-free milks, my experience is that the base coffee and espresso products are very lackluster. But not at Coffee Times! Both the coffee and espresso were fresh, smooth, and rich in flavor. I absolutely love the Americano they make! It's a strikingly good flavor. They also have all the standard lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, etc and I'm sure they're more carefully and delicately prepared as to make the cup a good coffee experience first and foremost. They have lots of size options, and their prices are super reasonable. They have some of the most amazing pastries and treats sourced from experts around the city. Absolutely wonderfully curated selection of pastries! The service was very friendly and very helpful. The drive thru in the mid afternoon wasn't hectic at all, but I have seen some long lines in the mornings wrap around the little coffee building. My only complaint is that they don't have sugar-free sweetener packets, only sugar-free flavored syrups. I'm not looking to flavor my drink, just add a touch of sweet to it. read more

Best coffee in town! Authentic coffee, great people! Great options for pastries. Consistency is key, they have so many options. Definitely recommend as a staple for morning coffee. read more

What can I say? I will drive across town to get coffee here instead of the corner chain. Like so many others I keep the faith knowing whatever I get will be consistently good from the regular lineup of coffee, Frappuccinos, and mochas, to the protein smoothies and blends. Plus, when I'm achy from yesterday's workout, I can get a shot of CBD in my blend so I can enjoy my morning pain free and mildly relaxed. If you want to support local, try Coffee Times even if you need to wait in line, it goes fast and worth it, or just walk up to the front window to order! Five Stars, highly recommend. read more

Nice little drive through/walk up coffee stop in midtown Tucson. I loved that they had a variety of sizes and offered everything as iced or hot. They also have a selection of fruit smoothies and other beverage items. Not the best customer service, but it's a drive through so understandable. read more

Best coffee spot in Tucson! I love their homemade pop tarts & pastries. I also love their chai :))

always quality drinks and service! I love coming here and supporting them! For sure recommend everyone come here!!!

Go-to coffee spot in Tuscon! It's hard not to pop in for a pick-me-up anytime I'm driving by. They have a fabulous selection of milk alternatives (oat, coconut, almond, soy) and exclusively use recycled/compostable materials for cups/lids/straws. Posted signs remind costumers that they require facial coverings to place an order. Employees all wear facial coverings and use gloves when preparing orders. Happy this place is still open and going strong through Covid! They make it easy to want to support local business. read more

Coffee Times Drive - Sea salt caramel macchiato (16oz iced) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I would love to give this place a 5 stars because the coffee is good but the wait is simply not worth it, and its every time. I don't come on a regular basis, at least 2 times a month and I always wait but today I could not. I was in line for over 7 minutes and the line never moved once. I would've loved to spend my money there, unfortunately, I went to Dunkin next door. read more

Just tried this place for the first time this morning OMG BEST SCONES IN TUCSON! I had the Blueberry Scone and it was amazing, I forgot to take a photo and I ate it all because it was just SO GOOD !!

Coffee Times Drive - Took my dog here for her birthday and she loved it! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great pit stop for smoothies, tea, coffee, baked goods, wraps & more if you've got time on your way to work/on a lunch break. Prices are reasonable & staff are great. I only got a smoothie when I checked them out but will be back to check out their baked goods/ lunch opts. They've also got vegan goodies & CBD drinks for those interested. As a fyi, this place gets pretty popular around breakfast (~8am) & lunch time. The intersection is also a fairly busy one (speedway) so getting out of the lot may be a bit of a wait as well. read more

I visited Coffee Times on a few occasions now and left more than satisfied every time. Need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up? House coffee is only $0.99 for an 8 oz. Sweet tooth actin' up? The caramel macchiato frappe (my fav!!!) will take care of it. On the good and want a quick filling lunch? Try a smoothie! I highly recommend the Avocado Banana Spinach ($6.75). They also have treats from local bakeries until sold-out. 5/5! read more

Good choices, establishment is small so it's easy to miss but the coffee is excellent, and there are other healthy beverages to choose from

I'm always happy to see this place booming with business, their staff is super friendly and the local love is like no other. Prices are an amazing value compared to other big companies where the visit is just a transaction, here you know it's benefitting the local community. Be sure to bring the pups they have treats :) read more

The coffee & service was excellent. I ordered a salted caramel iced latte which the barista suggested. It was sooooo delicious i highly recommend it. I was so shocked how fast the drive thru line was cause when I pulled in there were 2 separate lines and about 5 cars in both. I was in and out in under 10mins. I wish I had ordered a scone or something but I'll definitely be back to try something soon. read more

This is a local gem! A large chain recently opened next door, and I'm so glad Coffee Times continues to be busy. The cold brew is delish and they have multiple plant based milk options to add. This time, I tried the banana chocolate smoothie - definitely sweet, but SO delish. They now also have Bubbe's bagels to snack on. read more

Definitely best coffee in town! I always get an iced oat milk latte with honey & cinnamon. It never disappoints I like that they have 2 drive through windows and a window you can walk up to. It's definitely necessary because it gets busy!! The only negative thing I'd say is there is one lady that always has an attitude and can make the trip there a tad bit unpleasant.. but all in all, a 10/10! read more

The coffee is smooth and the chicken wraps are excellent. The service is quick and friendly.

For Vegans and Non Vegans alike coffee times has something for everyone. We got a tuna wrap, bagel with vegan cream cheese, the avocado banana spinach smoothie with peanut butter, and a drip coffee. The coffee was quality and the bagel was fluffy and delicious. The smoothie is something I regularly get and it always hits the spot! I could tell the tuna wrap was fresh and made from quality ingredients. For a quick on the go bite to eat and coffee, this place is great! Plus, when you stop by coffee times you support a small locally owned business, who doesn't love that? read more

Tried coffee times this morning and it was delicious and fast. When we got in line I was worried it would take a while cause there were quite a few cars in front of us, but we only waited for five minutes which isn't bad. I got the sea salt caramel macchiato and wow it was delish. It was just the right amount of sweet. We also tried the peach scone and the chocolate chip espresso glazed scone. They were both baked to perfection and were delicious. Don't forget your mask when you visit Coffee Times! read more
