My hubby and I love this place! The workers are always super nice and sweet. The prices are fair for the quality. The wait time is always super quick and the menu! I love the different combinations and specials of the month! We got some of their Easter specials like the Cadbury egg chocolate drink and the lavender lemonade! It's our top spot to hit! Definitely go check them out! read more

I have visited this place 4×3 out of four times I have not had service My first time ever was when I first moved to town and my mother-in-law bought me a cup of coffee on our way back to our rental that we had and the coffee was just subpar not very strong light flavor and this is just like your average cup of Joe The other three attempts is me living here, a tired mama, trying to get a cuppa coffee while my baby naps First attempt, I sat behind a car that had no one in it on the right side window Second attempt there is a line of cars, maybe three ahead of me on the left side window and I sat for over 20 minutes and then I just left service was way too slow for a cup coffee The third attempt was today where I sat on the left side where it seems that should be the window that's always open. I sat behind one additional vehicle for over 10 minutes and neither of us service. On my drive to Walmart I saw that the right hand side was the side that was actually open My biggest complaint is what windows are open. Can there be a sign? And if you're going to have two windows that are possibly open why not work both of them and why does it take over 10 minutes to receive a cup of coffee just a normal cup of coffee I do know that they have the lock up window option, but if I was going to walk up anywhere to get a cup of coffee, it would be wake and bake And honestly if wake and bake, had a drive-through, I wouldn't even attempt to go to Mad ever again, but this is the only place you can drive-through and get a cup of coffee read more

Great service very friendly staff ! Great prices as well passing by to go see family in tombstone but will definitely stop by again ! read more

Amanda was so hospitable and nice. Noticing our out of town license plate she welcomed us to Benson. Everything we ordered was top notch, and the wraps were better than that. Well be back! read more

Stopped in here on my way back home this morning. It was a Wednesday at 5:30am and there was no line. It was also before sunrise and I actually missed the turn as the drive-up is a bit recessed from the main road. The server was extremely friendly. I ordered a large cappuccino with hazelnut syrup. She did an excellent job on the froth. The froth was half the cup. The coffee itself lacked that jolt I like in my cap and it was a tad too sweet. I should have requested just one shot of syrup. I did appreciate the early opening hours and fast service. Few coffee shops open at 5am and close at 6pm. read more

Was in town for an event and wasn't sure what to expect but the Carmel latte w/oatmilk the girl recommended was sooo good! I usually steer away from sweet drinks and Carmel Lattes are usually too sweet for me, but this actually had a good balance. My boys got bagels w/ cream cheese, and my daughter got a wrap and they all said it was really good. I commend the girls also because we got swarmed by bees during our order causing a little delay, but they still were able to get the order right and get it done and also offered to give a discount. I refused cause I understood that it was an unusual circumstance, but they still went ahead and gave the discount, so I appreciate that so much it shows the care in their service! read more

I love coffee, and love finding independent coffee shops as I travel. Mad Mule makes me want to return to Benson! Great coffee - I had the sugar free Belgian Cookie flavor in my latte at the suggestion of my barista... smiling friendly service! It was fantastic, not fake tasting and not too sweet either. The espresso isn't burned tasting and has a nice robust flavor. My husband got a panini - they have a few type available if you're hungry. It's just a little drive up shed but worth the stop whether you're local or just passing through on I-10. we sat at the little picnic tables outside to get a short break from our drive. read more

Ordered a medium latte with sugar free coconut flavor and the south of Tucson wrap. I liked that they had sugar free options for the coffee, the wrap was big, it could've used more steak as it was thinly sliced and it got lost between all the other flavors. It is a cold wrap, which I usually like the meat hot, but the flavor was good. It is a drive-thru but do expect to wait a little longer than the usual drive thru chains. I wanted to support local and find a coffee, and this was a good choice! read more

Really great coffee & the redbull drinks too! The guy serving us had helpful suggestions. It also was a cute little drive thru.

This is a drive thru only. We got a 24oz iced caramel macchiato with sugar free caramel, caramel drizzle and oat milk. Delicious! Coffee is not acidic like other places. A bit pricey but worth it! read more

I recommend mad mule coffee co if your in the neighborhood or passing through. I had a large iced caramel macchiato and it was great. The price was fantastic for as much as they give you.

I'm not a coffee drinker by any stretch--however, I consider myself a Arnold Palmer FIEND. I drink them at every opportunity and have tried many before. I was not expecting anything out of the ordinary when I tried Native Grounds, given that most coffee shops have Arnold Palmers as an afterthought, as simple as just Minute Maid and Lipton. Native Grounds REALLY impressed me; their lemonade is handmade *in the moment*, and they muddle with sugar syrup and include their lemons in the drink. The result is a super lemon-y, refreshing, and delicious Arnold Palmer. Not overly sweet, which is a huge factor in what makes an Arnold Palmer go from just mediocre to GREAT. This was an excellent surprise and I am very pleased. If you are a coffee drinker, you may think this is silly, because APs are so simple. But it takes special place to make a drink as simple as this memorable enough to make a review. Will be back! read more

This is honestly In My opinion the best coffee place in AZ! They have something for everyone even the kiddos!

From start to finish all you get is kindness.. the women who work here are kind and passionate about their job and they make a mean cup of coffee!! I absolutely love their chai with gingerbread if you haven't had this before rush over it's amazing!! And don't forget to get yourself something to eat. I haven't had anything here that I haven't loved.. Haven't been disappointed and I'm very glad!! Keep it up!! read more

Horrible service! 4 dollar beverage became 4.93 with no explanation. Both girls wanted to argue it was correct. Turns out they charged me 50 cents for half and half! Glad to learn that they treat customers like that. read more

I have not been in. The place is nonstop busy. They need to sell freeze dried taffy and candy read more

Native Grounds has great coffee and they have a variety of drinks to choose from. Fast and friendly customer service.

I was just passing through town and saw this coffee shop on Yelp. The girl who took my order was very friendly. I ordered their specialty Chai tea which has 3 shots of espresso!! It's perfect for the long drive. read more

I've been wondering about this coffee stop for months now, glad I finally took the time to pull over and try it out! First impression: The appearance is fresh, clean and modern, I really liked the way this place looks. The barista opened the window and she was so nice and friendly (but not fake, overkilling-it-nice like Dutch Bro's ) and I bet she can make anyone feel comfortable to be around. The wait time was fast and reasonable even considering there was another customer at the other window. The Mocha was piping hot, like do not even think of taking a sip for the next ten to fifteen minutes or you'll lost your tongue for the next week kind of hot. You've been warned. I took the lid off and let it chill out for a few, when I finally took a sip I knew I had found a good place to get my morning sips from. Lasting impression: This is the place. They have espresso drinks, London fog, chai, hot cocoa and teas; they have pretty much everything it seems and I'm excited to give it all a shot. read more

We loved Native Grounds so much that we came here two days in a row!!! The cold brew is so smooth, and they make their foam in-house. Highly recommend the cold brew with vanilla foam. Sooooo good. My only complaint is the service, we waited in like for about 15 min and there was only one car in front of us. The baristas were all very friendly! read more

Great place to stop for coffee and pastries if near Tombstone. We liked the ham and cheese croissant.

Stood at the walk up window and had 4 people walk by and never even acknowledge I was there.

such a great place to stop. there are two drive up windows so you can pick which line is shorter, or if you want to park you can use the walk up window. there's a really great selection and the staff is very friendly. definitely worth a visit if you're driving through town, and a great place to become a regular at if your local UPDATE: still the most awesome coffee stop in town! i've tried so many different flavors and each time i think i've found a new favorite only to love the next one as much or more. read more
