Salmon eggs Benedict

This chain is definitely a favorite of mine best the food is always delicious and fresh. I've visited two separate places in Tucson and will definitely come when I want breakfast. Great variety and something for everyone.

Stopped here after a run! Great service , good food & enough vegan options to satisfy. I had the chia seed pudding power fruit bowl & potatoes with a fresh squeezed watermelon juice to drink . Yum.

Yup

We love First Watch, every one that we have been to is great, this place is no exception. Our server had a new trainee but service was still quick! I had the Pesto quinoa chicken bowl. It was a delicious mix of quinoa, kale, tomatoes, chicken, pesto sauce and feta. Nice! A blackberry tea to wash it down went very well too. Yup, it gets a big recommend!

My favorite looks so delicious the trifecta

When I came in I was greeted by the manager Fernanda in like 3 seconds it was beautiful! I sat at the bar and I enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere from all of the customers very positive energy everyone is smiling and Luke served me at the bar and I had a water and a morning meditation, and my order came out in literally in 5 minutes and I was greeted by Sonia and out with my food in seconds and was so friendly and it was so delicious. Very incredible experience. Thank you again!

Food was good but waited 15 minutes for the drawer to open and it sucked. I was now late for work. I paid cash.....do not do that again. Loved the food though! But just received a "sorry" and here's for your next visit. Me: ok at least I got a BOGO or a free meal...nope! The manager gave me a five dollars off coupon. Great thanks that makes up for the 15 minutes that you made me late. Back to the food, though I really loved the food and it was very flavorful and I really appreciated the helpful waitress. I recommend this place as long as you're paying without using cash.

I'm so happy to have found this place ! You order at the counter and there is plenty of seating. I ordered the tri-color Vietnamese dessert called Chè Ba Mau, which translates literally to tri-color dessert. Chè is a traditional category of Vietnamese desserts that can range from sweet soups to puddings, and it often combines various beans, jellies, and fruits with coconut milk and shaved ice, traditionally. This particular one here consists of coconut milk, pandan agar jelly, red beans, and water chestnut coated in tapioca. The hubby ordered the grass jelly and coconut milk dessert. The grass jelly has a mild herbal depth and it is balanced beautifully by the smooth, lightly sweet coconut milk. Both are equally refreshing and sweet, with quality ingredients that really make it satisfying on a hot Tucson day. I absolutely will be returning here for future Vietnamese desserts!!

9.5/10 | Absolutely Amazing!…read more Everything about this place was fantastic! I ordered the mole enchiladas, and they were absolutely delicious. The mole tasted exactly how authentic mole should taste, rich and full of flavor. I even mixed my side of rice into the mole because it was THAT good! To drink, I had the Mazapán horchata, and WOW! Coming from El Paso, where there's no shortage of amazing horchata, I can confidently say this was probably the best I've ever had. For dessert, I had the pastel de galleta, and it was easily one of the best desserts I've ever tasted. So simple, yet so incredibly delicious! On top of the amazing food, the hospitality and service were a solid 10/10! The staff made the entire experience even better, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. Overall, this place absolutely exceeded my expectations. 9.5/10 experience, 10/10 hospitality, and I will definitely be coming back!

The sauce was a deep red, delightfully spicy and rich. The last time I had the Chilaquiles Divoriciados and that choice was great too. The staff ate so kind and welcoming and after placing your plate down they sprinkle a little "Allegria" over your food. See the picture. These chilaquiles reminded me of my Mexican Nana's and even my British Mum's, who had been taught by my Nana. I can't wait to go back and try the lunch or dinner menus!

Only open for breakfast, this little coffee shop packs in a lot of charm. I parked in the small lot in front. Ambiance (5/5): Definitely charming. It's a grab-and-go place for some, but for those that stay, there's a decent amount of seating outside. You're surrounded by a nice garden area, so it makes for a nice place to enjoy your beverage or some food. As long as the weather cooperates. Service (5/5): You place your order at the counter and they give you a buzzer. The lady working the counter was super friendly. A bright smile goes a long way. She was lovely. Drinks (5/5): While I'm not a coffee drinker, I'm a big fan of lemonade. They have a berry lemonade that has berries in it (blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries). Good size and it was very refreshing. One of the best lemonades I've had in quite some time. Food (4/5): Barista is known for its breakfast burritos and I love a good breakfast burrito. You'll find your usual ingredients here for the most part e.g. chorizo, egg, potato, bacon, ham, etc. Which I could have easily done. Instead, I decided to roll the dice and get my burrito with macheca. Which is a dried out Sonoran beef jerky of sorts. Heavily spiced. With a bit of a kick. I had never had it, and I must say, I'm not a huge fan. The lady who took my order complicated this gringo on my selection, but too strong of a taste for me. I'm sure I would've enjoyed one of the other proteins more. With that being said, it's a good portion (essentially two burros) and it was grilled nicely. It made for a filling, and satisfying, breakfast on the road.

Cafe A La C'art is a slightly hidden, off the main track restaurant attached to the Tucson Museum…read moreof Art. It is an amazing pastry location and a great lunch location. We have been coming here for over ten years, either as a couple or when my work has events. They can be a little pricy, but it is an amazing location with charm. There is interior and outside seating. You order at the counter with menus provided to review. You WILL be tempted by the pastries. It is mostly sandwiches and salads...and pastry. The drinks are soft drinks, teas and limited alcohol. Food is always well presented, and they do accommodate changes. Staff are friendly but also busy. Did I mention the charm, the adobe rooms have tables and the decor bring the experience together. It can be loud at times, but not overwhelming. Definitely visit, especially if doing the courthouse tour, the Presidio or Old Town shops, other hidden downtown gems.

Lots of nature themed paintings and photographs. I also really like their patio. I had the smoked beet sandwich and replaced the goat cheese with extra pumpkin seed-pistachio- sesame spread to make it vegan. It comes with seasoned fries/ green salad with herb vinaigrette/ or today's side a vegan potato salad. I chose the green salad with herb vinaigrette and really appreciated it had some pumpkin seeds too. They also gave me a sample of the potato salad but I liked the other food I had better. My understanding is that they use frozen potatoes for the fries vs fresh ones but season them with a seasoning mix. The pumpkin seed-pistachio- sesame spread in the sandwich was called "tahini" on the menu but it seems like it was sesame seeds in it not ground tahini paste. The sandwich was really yummy and great for summer. Ordering the first round is at the bar counter but once you are seated after your first order you can order more from the staff. I hear that there is a line to order at the more popular times but there was not a line when I was there. They had lots of great looking baked good. One was vegan and gluten free. Great place to have food at while visiting the Tucson Museum of Art. They share a small free parking lot. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!
