The is one of Tucsons guilty little hot spots... for coffee, pastries... and for people watching. The decor is a few tables inside and the noise factor... can at times be overwhelming. From up and coming medical students, to the middle aged hipster walkers, to the fashionistas of UofA.... In their yoga best or summertime "in" outfits... lastly... to the grumpy old biker group... you will experience it all here!! The sandwiches/pastries are great and highly addictive. They sell out fast. I'm not a coffee connoisseur... however, I do love my peach tea! The baristas service is always friendly and helpful in decision making. Enjoy. Sit outside. Take in all in. read more

I have always heard good things about Ren and finally had the chance to try it out yesterday with a group of friends. Almost all of us ordered the Bagel Breakfast sandwich. I ordered mine on a gluten free everything bagel and I am honestly not sure if it was gluten free or not. Since I only have a minor sensitivity I didn't think too hard about it, but it did taste like a regular bagel. If it was gluten free then this was a great gluten free bagel! Three of our orders came out before the other two, and they told us they would bring the food to our table when it came out. We chose to sit outside, since the inside was full. After several minutes had passed, and the rest of our food hadn't come out, we went in to see our food had just been sitting on the counter. This was probably a miscommunication of some sort, but I do wonder how long they would have let the food sit there if we hadn't come in. The sandwich was good, but it did taste like something I could make at home. I would need to try more menu items at Ren in order to get a better idea, but the rest of their menu and bakery case does look promising! read more

My favorite bakery in Tucson, hands down. I ran in for a bagel and got completely distracted by this $8 focaccia sandwich layered with fig jam, arugula, mozzarella, and prosciutto - naturally sweet peppery and creamy chewy dream come true! I have a deep appreciation for chefs who can turn simple ingredients into something this delicious. The bread is absolutely the star of the show, but the balance of flavors and textures makes every bite comforting, satisfying, and memorable. Sometimes the simplest sandwiches are the hardest to perfect--and they nailed it. read more

Updating my review to include a photo of the delicious pear, goat cheese, and fig bagel! I've been wanting to try this for a while and it did not disappoint. We came on a very busy Saturday morning, but the line moved fast enough, our coffee came out quickly and was delicious, and our food came out surprisingly fast despite the crowd! We were able to find comfortable seating out on the shaded patio that was perfect for our group. Love Ren! read more

Perfect weather lately for enjoying a nice breakfast in the courtyard. We ordered the breakfast sandwich which was delicious. It didn't taste too heavy at all, and seemed thoughtfully made and seasoned. For drinks I ordered the Mexican coffee expecting a bit of a kick but I didn't really get that. We also got the mushroom latte which was pretty good too! Looking forward to visiting again. read more

Located in St Phillip's plaza, REN shares the beautiful fountain courtyard with other shops in the plaza. The Saturday morning I went, the plaza was busy with a vendor faire setup and groups of cyclists. I think there's a bike trail nearby. I had to park in the back near Homewood suites. The counter to order is right at the door so it felt cramped and hard to see the menu. Inside there were about 10 tables and I noticed tables in the shared courtyard outside. I ordered a Cafe Miel to go (latte with honey and cinnamon) and the muffin of the day. The latte was strong and balance well with the cinnamon and just the right sweetness from the coffee. The muffin was delicious and filling. I noticed a Ren Bakery 2 shops over but when I peeked in it didn't look any different read more

I always love visiting this place. It's one of my favorite coffee shops locally and the patio and seating area is really phenomenal. It's a great day to sit outside and enjoy a bagel breakfast sandwich with an oatmeal cappuccino, this is typically what I get besides the vegan protein bars. There's Wi-Fi for customers, plenty of seating, neutral bathroom, and it's all accessible. Always grateful to the staff as well for such great service. read more

The variety and quality of food options at Ren is great, and the service is quick and friendly. I typically get either a vanilla oat milk latte or turmeric ginger chai to drink. They have plenty of gluten-free options, including bagels. So, I've enjoyed the bagel breakfast, pear & fig bagel, and avocado toast on a GF bagel. They also have a nice yogurt bowl and GF granola. The vibe is nice with seating inside and on an outside patio. My only complaint would be that parking is hard to come by. read more

A very, very busy spot but these folks are pros at getting the guest taken care of! Obviously a very popular spot as we waited in line longer than we waited for our order to be done. Great gathering place with a public courtyard right outside for seating as well. Friendly, bright, clean. The coffee: excellent. Their freshly baked goods on the daily: fantastic! MUST order the raspberry pistachio scone! Or the strawberry muffin. Oh! We started with a breakfast bagel sandwich. ANY choice would delight the taste buds. read more

Ren Coffeehouse - Best cappuccino! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Cute spot in the corner of St Phillips Plaza. Finding Sunday morning coffee and grub spots that open before 7 can be difficult so when I saw Ren opened at six am, with lots of food options, and had great reviews (thanks for the recs, Bella), I decided to give it a shot Service is friendly and fast. I heard they get busy, and though it was poppin, my Mocha and Breakfast Croissant came out quick and both were outstanding! Only gripe is that the food got messy after only a couple bites, so instead of a sandwich it became a salad, but the flavors were so good. I'll be back and try some other dishes. read more

Ren Coffeehouse is a chic and modern cafe nestled in St. Phillip's Plaza, making it a perfect spot if you're visiting the weekend market in the area. There is a large variety of drinks and food, including seasonal flavors and even seasonal affogatos. I tried the Cafe Miel, which had a good balance of flavors and was both the perfect size and temperature for a cooler morning. The baristas were very attentive and we were served fairly quickly. I'd definitely like to visit again in the future to try more of the food offerings, especially since they were handing out free samples of some pastries that were getting great reviews. read more

Service really is so great. I can't explain it but everyone is just kind. That makes a huge difference when entering an establishment. I feel welcome and the staff is always patient as I look through the pastry options. Always willing to answer questions too. I got the Guatemalan roast again which is what the house coffee is right now. Believe it or not it tasted better this week? Fresher and had discernible robust rich flavor. I also got the funfetti cake. It's new and I was excited to see my favorite flavor! It was delicious. It had the right amount of flavor and the buttercream icing was amazing, not too sweet. Inside is clean and modern. Lots of people getting work done. I noticed this time they have plenty of outlets. read more

I just had one of the best, if not the best avocado toast of my life. I wish I asked where their bread comes from but it was soooo good. I love my avocado toast with either chunks of avocadoa or slices of avocados and not super mashed, a spread kind so theirs was just perfect! I'm a sucker for argulas too and with a little drizzle of oil added even more deliciousness. Really it was heavenly. I also tried their special agua fresca, which was made with sparking water, lemon syrup(I believe) and basil. My goodness, it was also amazingly delicious. I give four stars because their silverware was dirty, which is a big turn-off for me but that won't stop me from going back to this place. I am actually very excited that I've found this place! read more

Ren Coffeehouse continues to be high on my list for a spot to meet for a coffee/tea or even to sit and work for a bit. It's a relaxed place, but definitely popular, so it can get busy with cyclists real quick! I love that they have a wide selection of coffee, tea, and other beverages. I especially love that they have a menu that's not just limited to baked goods, which are all great, but it's nice to know that you can have a solid bite while you're there. There is ample indoor seating with tables, a few cozy couches, and plenty of outdoor seating. read more

Loved my bagel breakfast I ordered. The staff were kind and the wifi worked well. Sandwich Ingredients tasted fresh. Glad I was able to order the sandwich in the afternoon as well. Tip: Their kitchen closes an hour before they close, 2pm, can't order warm food after that. You can order drinks after 2pm. Or their other location in the plaza is opened a little later and may have food options there too. read more

Ren Coffeehouse - Breakfast Bagel Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Such a charming café. Everything good for breakfast, lunch, or a coffee stop in Tucson, AZ. We were recommended this spot by a local Tucson resident, and I let her know the recommendation was excellent. The baristas were very friendly and said my Cafe Miel order was the most popular drink. We ordered: - Hot 12 oz. Cafe Miel - Latte with Cinnamon & Honey (2 shots espresso) - 16 oz. Iced Caramel Coffee My friend and I were both amazed at how good our coffees were. We sat at a small table near the window with a nice view of the patio that is set between the buildings near the center of the businesses, away from the parking lot and sidewalk. There is greenery and trees and it looks like a nice little oasis. It was still too hot for us to sit outside. It was unseasonably hot for the last day of September. Luckily, inside the cafe was nice and cool. There's a comfy casual here with plenty of tables to sit and eat or drink coffee. There's a gender-neutral restroom. Plenty of parking is available for the strip mall in this center. We got a shaded spot. read more

I came here on a busy day during lunch and had the most amazing turkey sandwich. The coffeehouse is inside St Philip's plaza with lots of boutiques, yoga and other restaurants. It's a very nice area with lots shade and cute tables to sit both indoor and outdoor. The coffeehouse serves a variety of salads, sandwiches and even agua frescas! The only thing I disliked was the prices were kinda on the higher side but it could be because of the area it's in. Service was great and I didn't wait long for my food. Will definitely come back to try the pastries and agua Fresca. read more

We were heading to another coffee house and decided to swing in here instead. It was a Saturday and that meant lots of locals drinking coffee and chilling. We decided to order breakfast along with our caffeine. No regrets! Our food was served with fresh ingredients, and in large portions. We ended up sharing part of our meals with the guy sitting next to us, who happily obliged. Another customer then approached us, asking what we were eating. I had a feeling that more coffee is served here than food( (?) and if that is the case, that needs to change. This is a great little breakfast nook. If you swing by on the weekends, check out the local arts and crafts show next door to Ren's. read more

Want to save yourself $50? Stay FAR away from Ren Coffeehouse. This is the first review I've ever written and this place is AWFUL. 15 minutes to order food, THIRTY FIVE MINUTE WAIT for a freaking bagel, eggs ordered as over medium were over hard, no butter with my toast even though I asked, and what tasted like an entire container of nutmeg in my $9 pumpkin spiced latte. By far the worst dining experience I've ever had anywhere on planet earth! read more

The coffee and teas are delicious, the food (especially from their bakery next door) is fantastic, and who can resist sitting in the beautiful courtyard? This cafe ia directly on the bike path.

I was looking forward to stopping on for days before my visit. With the great reviews and such i was hopeful. This morning I woke up early and headed over with my son to pick up some drinks before our road trip home. The place was busy for a Tuesday and again I was hopeful. The woman at the counter seemed a bit grumpy and I overwhelmed. I was pleased to see cold brew and asked if the offered hwc. To which the replay was we're out. Cool, no biggie. She advised they half half and half so I asked for a splash and some vanilla. They don't offer blended drinks and my son's not a fan of coffee so he chose hot chocolate. I also ordered a raspberry lemon muffin. There were no open tables so we waited nearby. Once our drinks were ready the girl pointed and said cream is over there. My lid was laid on the counter. Ok sweet I guess. I poured a little cream and off we went. My sons got chocolate was more whip cream than drink, but he said it was good. My muffin was my favorite part. It was large, sweet but not so very. Baked well. My cold brew while no acidity which is awesome the vanilla was nearly nonexistent. I poured the half and half myself so I obviously controlled that part. I wish I lived closer to try again, but not sure when I'll be back in the area. Unfortunately I left bummed and unwelcome. The vibe itself is nice outside. Beautiful patio and walkable space nearby. The inside is a bit small, but does offer some seating. read more

Really wanted to love this place... but sadly, I won't be coming back. The food is honestly great -- compliments to the people in the kitchen who clearly know what they're doing. But the customer service? Disappointing. I always tip 20%, hoping it adds a little joy or appreciation, but it's never acknowledged. And paying $5 for a single slice of toast just adds to the sting when the service feels cold. Maybe if they played some music, the vibe -- and the staff -- would feel more welcoming. The food deserves better. read more
