I was finally able to stop by and try their scrumptious sweets. We ordered the Mango cream cake and the apricot scone. The cake was fluffy, airy and not overly sweet (just the way I love it) and the scone was so buttery but crispy on the outside. They were both perfect, highly recommend this place is you don't like overly sweet deserts. read more

How is this place still in business?!?! We waited over 30 mins for a single matcha late. The wait wasn't due to how busy it was it was due to the inefficient "baristas" were. When they weren't coughing directly over the drinks without covering their mouth, they were too busy tossing drink after drink because it was incorrect. What a horrible business. read more

Incredibly SLOW!!! Strawberry matcha was 0/5. Was not authentic at all. Barista made a drink, sneeze on it, threw it out, DIDNT BOTHER TO MAKE IT AGAIN! The customer was waiting for their drink for a long time, he went up to ask about it and she was like oh yeah and makes it again! Waited 20 mins for ONE matcha and it was not busy whatsoever. Dirty walls, dirty mirrors. Absolutely horrible experience! read more

So happy to find a korean bakery here in Tucson! Maybe it's nostalgia but I love how asian baked goods are sweet but not overly sweet the way many american baked items are. Prices affordable and comparable to other korean-western fusion bakeries (e.g. paris baguette, tour les jours). There's also a great selection of lunch items here. I'd recommend the korean corn dog if you've really wanted to try out this new fad, but would pass on the fried chicken here (not quite the wings/drumstick fried chicken you'd expect at a dedicated korean fried chicken joint in nyc/cali). You can also order custom cakes here (previously, it was just the cream cake, but I would recommemd checking out their insta / website to see if other bases are available!) read more

First time here! Can't wait to come back. The custard donut and strawberry danish were to die for. Michelle helped with recs and made our drinks. She is amazing!!!!! Best customer service! Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

Super cute bakery in dt Tuscon! The matcha cheesecake was pretty but not sweet enough for me, which is very rare because I usually say desserts are too sweet! Egg tarts were amazing and tasted better than they looked. Crispy and flaky crust stole the show for me. The cafe does close early daily, by 1pm so come get their pastries before lunch! read more

Super friendly customer service and meals come out in less than 5 minutes. Can't beat this place! Come here, enjoy, leave another review, have a great day! read more

Grabbed a couple drinks & a snack with a buddy earlier this week. The drinks were GREAT! I had a Passionfruit and Yuzu Tea and my friend got a Cookie Butter Latte. While we really enjoyed our drinks and Matcha Cheesecake, we weren't impressed with the service or the state of the place. The place was busy (good sign) so we grabbed a lone table in the back but we found out later that this was a table designated for staff. Many employees walked past us without saying a word about it while we sat to chat. Suggestions: Add signage to direct customers away from staff-designated area and greet customers in a friendly & helpful manner. Customers are yours to guide and we could have avoided the staff table snafu if someone had just let us know tables had opened up at the front when one became available. I believe in second chances and plan to go back in the future after they've collected and implemented customer feedback. read more

Best Katsu chicken ever! Beautiful baked goods too. And a very sweet staff! Be prepared to wait, but it's so worth it...

Love HeeMee so much. Great food as well as an always rotating baked goods selection. For those not familiar with Korean food, this is a great place to start off with! We're so lucky that they opened up and have such a great central downtown location. Some highlights that I love: biscoff cookie shortcakes, egg custard tarts, cookies, red bean buns, and avocado toast. I've also ordered catering for a party from HeeMee. Would recommend their shortcakes for a party and definitely reach out ahead of time as they are very busy. Follow them on Instagram to see more of their baked goodies in case you want to call ahead and see when they will remake something. read more

This newly opened small bakery serves bingsoo and other delectable desserts. Bingsoo is a Korean dessert made with shaved ice and toppings are added. At HeeMee's, the bingsoo is made with milk-shaved ice and you can choose from 4 flavors-green tea, mango, strawberry, or oreo. For approximately $8.00, this dessert is a big portion, especially if you've already eaten lunch and want to nibble something sweet afterwards. The mango bingsoo comes with cubes of mango, mochi, condensed milk, almonds, and maybe mango syrup. The milky shaved ice combined with these toppings makes bingsoo a must-have dish! HeeMee also serves baked goods, including cookies, muffins, and cakes. I tried the pecan, macadamia, chocolate, and caramel cookie today. It was baked to perfection and crunchy from the nuts. Definitely try out different baked goods if you're here! There's also coffee here that I have yet to try! The decor consists of a modern yet simplistic look that is simply adorable! read more

I'm OBSSESSED. This place is so freaking cute. It's a great place for studying there's free WiFi, outlets around the walls, and has cute modern clean vibes with a hint of Tucson with cacti decorations. The bakery goods are amazing they are the perfect amount of sweet and not overdone. The strawberry cake has mild sweetness like any other asian cake and red bean donut is amazing. Coffee is amazing and service is great. I Iove the vibes here and can't wait to come back to try more pastries. This is my new study spot :) parking can be a bit difficult to find given its downtown. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for some time, but I always picked days they were closed. Finally made it last Saturday for lunch. We ordered the ban ban bowl, breakfast sandwich, katsudon. We also shared a Korean hot dog with potato coating. This corn dog was larger than I thought & was so cheesy ooey goodness inside. Their chicken coating was so good & saucy sauce. I was sad they were pretty much sold out of most pastries. They were very busy with dine-in and take-out orders as well as latte orders, but the service was still friendly. There was not a lot of seating inside & a small outdoor dining area. The food was definitely worth coming back for. I will have to plan on stopping by earlier for pastries. The only thing that needs work was the cabbage side salad that came with the chicken bowls. read more

I hate drinking good coffee from a cardboard cup. I like white porcelain. Heemee has cardboard only for hot drinks. Friendly service, pleasant interior. Uncomfortable chairs and benches did not encourage me to chill out. My mocha was wonderful (see photo). Selection of pastries was minimal and this was at 8:00am. I really wanted to fall in love with this place when I walked in, but I didn't. Maybe next time. read more

HeeMee has become one of my go-to spots for lunch! I typically come here at least once a week. Their bulgogi rice bowl is my favorite for lunch and is the perfect portion size for me. I typically order that with a side of kimchi and the rangoons. I personally prefer their lunch menu over their bakery items as some of the bakery items can be hit or miss. I had some cookies and a mocha bun from here that were amazing, but the next time I came in and had the mocha bun (typically one of my favorites at Korean bakeries) and it was a little stale. They have interesting flavors sometimes for their scones, but I enjoy their rotating variety. Their website makes it really easy to order online for pick-up, which makes it the perfect option when you're crunched on time for lunch. The cafe itself is clean and cute but they close at 1:00 p.m. so if you're stopping by for lunch, be sure to get there early! read more

I swear I always think about going to this place on Sunday and they are normally closed but I saw on their IG that they were open this Sunday AND the they had a new fried shrimp menu option! I expected more from the drink menu but it was pretty good. The peach oolong iced tea and the chia tea were good. We really like the yuja ade was really good. We tried the beef Bulgogi plate and the shrimp plate with udon. I lived the udon noodles. We def wanna try them again some time! read more

I really enjoyed the tiramisu (GLUTEN FREE) I paired that with an iced americano which was also really good! I enjoyed the atmosphere and decor. It's interesting to watch the "hustle and bustle" of downtown take place while your tucked away in this little cozy coffee shop. I felt like I was in a lo-fi cafe video. They have so many options to choose from (food and drink). As someone who has gluten intolerance it's SO hard to find a place with a gluten free treat. I'm really excited to have found a place, I'll definitely be visiting in the future. read more

If you're in downtime Tucson, this is a great spot to stop and get a baked treat and coffee. We had their red bean bun, sausage bun, chocolate/nutella croissant, and drinks. Nothing disappointed. Absolutely stop here and get a snack. Their food options looked really good but we were there for pastries! read more

Great pastries and coffee! Friendly staff. Lunches sound great, wish I could have tried them! Next time!

We have visited HeeMee many, many times since it opened and have never been disappointed! We were so happy when they re-opened with take-out and curbside service. We now have used curbside several times, and it is wonderful. We call ahead, get a quick rundown of what is available that day, make our selections, pay, and pull up. Our order is brought out to us by a masked staff member. A+, and I hope they keep curbside forever. The food still is fantastic - not too sweet, just the way we like it. So grateful to have this gem in our community! read more

Really happy that they reopened! Ordered online and went to go pick it up. A text was sent to me saying my order was ready. Today I ordered the korean fried chicken bowl, cookie of the week(Galettes Betonnes), and cake of the week slice (Caramel Lotus Cream Cake). The cake was well received by all my coworkers as being light and not too sweet. Last time I stopped by with friends over the weekend and got a matcha latte with oat milk. It was one of the best matcha lattes I've had here in Tucson. read more

HeeMee is a hidden gem. In the heart of downtown, you would miss it if you didn't know. We love to go to HeeMee and grab pastries and coffee. Croissants, tarts, the various cakes, even a Korean corn dog. I highly recommend the cookie butter latte. Everything we've had there has been delicious. read more

It was a disappointing experience from the high expectations. Poor service, only one person working the front, forgot a drink, no water in the self service water area, tables were not wiped, and food was ok. Perhaps the time I went but all deserts were gone and one was on hold which made me wonder about their customer service practices. Like they were saving it for a friend as a customer came in and got friendlier service and her drink right away. The atmosphere was good, music and vibe was chill. Probably won't be back, not worth my time or cost of parking. Hope they get better and provide better front service, at least that would make up for the food quality. read more

Delicious scones, cookies, and ....everything.. Now I am hungry. Must visit when you are in Tucson.

The service was awful. The redhead at the desk could not lookup from her phone to take our order. When we had a question, we had to say excuse me twice since she was very busy on her phone. She took our order, then stopped making the drink halfway through and one of her coworkers finished it. The latte was good. The pastry was bland with a sweet but not flavorful chocolate drizzle. The nut and chocolate chip cookie looked great but the dough had no flavor. The third treat we got was sweet but unremarkable. Given all of the great coffee shops in Tucson, hard pass on this one. read more

Cold brew coffee and the bulgogi rice bowl = awesomeness!!! Heemee serves Yellow Brick Coffee, a local roaster and coffee shop. The cold brew is smooth and sweet. The beef bulgogi bowl is everything I hoped it would be. The meat is tender and flavorful and it's served with a cucumber salad and rice. It's a small shop and the inside is minimalistic. The parking is limited as it's located downtown and there is mostly street parking. There are a few parking garages within walking distance. My only heartache was that they didn't have tiramisu today. Baked goods are made fresh daily and when they run out that's it. I'll just have to go back another day. read more

Ordered a cup of caramel macchiato and it's taste like a cup of milk. It looks super white too! I see no caramel!! I don't even feel any caffeine in it. They randomly place the labels for the pastries so I ordered one of the pastries--by reading the name out and the pastry is not what I expected. This is a big problem, people don't just place "vanilla ice cream" tag in front of chocolate ice cream. So why would you randomly place your tag? I felt like I got rob for both the pastry and drink. Do not recommend! read more

FINALLY found somewhere in Tucson that sells Korean corn dogs. Make sure you specify that you want sugar on the corn dogs or they won't put it on. They're really good. Not as good as Two Hands in my opinion but it does satisfy my craving either way so I'm not mad about it. The corn dogs kind of slide off the stick unfortunately, but still enjoyable. The house sauce is sooooo good with it. read more

This place is super cute and if I was attending the university/ closer to the downtown area, I would definitely frequent this Korean cafe/bakery more often. I learned about this shop after hearing there was a planned Yelp event scheduled but decided to stop by anyway though the event was canceled. Atmosphere: HeeMee is suitable for small meet-ups and a spot to read or study. Parking in the downtown area was a bit of a challenge --just a warning for anyone not familiar with the area. Food/Drinks: They offer a variety of unique cakes and baked goods on a daily basis. Since it was August when I had visited, the weather was still rather hot --so their shaved snow (bingsoo) was perfect! Having lived California, I became quite fond of Snowy Village, which offers a combo of strawberries, blueberries and mango in the same bowl, and with layers. The bingsoo I had here was single-layered and I realized towards the end that I should have asked for more condensed milk. I assume that HeeMee goes with one flavor to simplify preparation, which makes sense if there isn't a high demand. Bingsoo flavors: strawberry, mango, green tea, oreo ($7.50) I didn't try the drinks that they offer but I browsed the cakes, which definitely look like they are worth a try. I would say they are a little pricy but appear to be high-quality. The coffees seem to be reasonably priced, you can find their menu on their website. They also have a made-to-order menu, which seems like a nice option if you need to grab something quick for lunch: quiche du jour, breakfast ciabatta sandwich, sugar toast, chicken katsu sando, bulgogi burger, quinoa salad. Overall, if you're in the area or are living in Tucson and have been craving some sweets, I do recommend giving this place a try! read more

Ordered the Whole Fruit Cream Cake which is a gluten-free sponge cake. I requested both strawberries and blueberries (they usually give you a choice of one or the other with online orders). The cake was light, not too sweet and the fruit was fresh. I paid for extra fruit. I'm not sure what the normal amount of fruit is, but the "extra" seemed to be what I'd expect as the "normal" amount. That said, we were all very happy with the cake! Only suggestion is to have two people go pick up, one driving and waiting at curbside and one run in a get the cake. Parking is very limited downtown. read more

The cutest little bakery! I'm very impressed with the quality and pricing of their baked goods. You can really tell they put a lot of thought into developing their pastries, and it shows with the precision and drool-worthy look of the pastries. They offer such a wide variety of pastries, some of which I've never seen before. I don't think you can go wrong with any sort of matcha flavored baked good, and their bingsoo was so tasty too! They weren't too decadent or sweet, so you don't feel too bad about eating so much. 100% would recommend to anyone who is constantly craving a good asian bakery or to anyone who loves any form of dessert. read more

Snow in the Summertime, whaaaaat?? As soon as I saw that there was a new place in Tucson selling bingsoo, I just had to stop by. So yes, this review is mainly based on my experience with their bingsoo and not their coffee and/or baked goods. My boyfriend and I came in at around 2:15pm and the place was moderately busy. Building is fairly small so I feel like at most ~20 people could be seated. As shown in the attached photos, we each got a bingsoo (green tea and strawberry). The bowls they came in were definitely bigger than what I would prefer as an "after-lunch dessert". So I would recommend sharing one between 2 people. Nevertheless, the taste of both was incredibly refreshing. The bitterness of green tea icecream, the crunchiness of almonds, the chewiness of mochi bites, and the sweetness of red bean, all resting upon soft milk-based snow, just makes for a great summertime dessert. Would recommend this place to my friends and hope to come back again :) read more

I love this place! Their new chicken and rice meal is amazing! I had their red bean filled doughnut once and it was the best doughnut I've ever had. Only disappointing thing is that pastries tend to run out by the time I come here, but that just goes to show how fresh all their food is. It's about time we got a Japanese Bakery in Tucson! read more

A friend mentioned this place to me a while back. I finally went with that friend to try it out. It's a cute little cafe, perfect for young children and for meetups, dates, etc. They sell pastries and they rotate them out on a daily basis. So you never know what they might have. Their consistent dessert is called bingsoo (patbingsu), which is a Korean dessert made of shaved ice and topped with goodies. My friend and I split the matcha bingsoo. Honestly, I had just eaten a large lunch and I wasn't that hungry, but once I started eating the bingsoo, I just couldn't stop. It was really good. The matcha bingsoo is covered with matcha powder, mochi, 2 matcha pockey sticks, and match ice cream with red-beans. It really is the summer treat for everyone. I would love to bring my partner here to try the bingsoo. read more
