Oh my gosh! What a hidden gem! The gals in the truck, Natalia and Alexia were so welcoming- sharing…read morea bit of the backstory as well as a sample of cafe de olla. Natalia makes it herself using a family heirloom as the vessel. She also grows the chilis herself for the chingona. They partner with other local businesses for their baked goods (got here too late for the wood fire baked burrito- gotta get here earlier next time!) I got a slice of almond poppyseed pound cake that was absolutely amazing! Moist and lots of almond flavor! I got an iced horchata latte at Alexia's suggestion- it is light and refreshing. Trying to figure out how to come here more often!!! They told me I had to check out the shop inside (Alexia told me it gave Narnia vibes bc the entrance is very unassuming- she was not wrong!) Tge space is so sweet! Music but not too loud, lots of space to sit and chat or work or read or... I feel like you could work here all day and no one would bother you.

I think they should offer the teas as a lower price than the coffees, but otherwise no complaints. The owner came by to make sure we didn't need anything. They were busy for a late Saturday morning.

They had the cutest bakery, and I was recommended to try the empanada, iced coffee, and some other pastries. Overall, the servers was quick and friendly, and the pastries did taste delicious.

Place has great service, you order at counter but your food is brought to your table…read more It can get super busy but wait isn't usually too bad. Food is great, especially their breakfast burritos. Always have a great selection of drinks including a seasonal matcha. Good ambiance to talk and chat, not super loud

The place was busy which is a good sign, it's family friendly so expect parking to be busy as well…read more Make room for the servers as they weave through the crowded entrance because the line to the counter gets long and it's where you place the order if you want to have a sit down meal. As you get closer to the counter you are met with their assortment of pastries. It's a good place for a weekend brunch and expect a lively atmosphere. They do have outdoor seating if you want to be heard especially if you're on a date. Food is good, nothing much special about it but it's very affordable and the staff are very friendly.

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.

I love the art on the walls so much and glad I came around 9am ish in the summer when it's less…read morecrowded so I can easily walk around and look at all the art pieces. 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!

The chai tasted watered down, the coffee was ehh, and I had ordered a matcha with lavender cold foam. When I received my order, the cold foam looked like regular, white cold foam, and I just wanted to make sure it was the right flavor I ordered and when I asked, the barista stared at me and said "uh...yeah". I just smiled and said I just wanted to make sure (I've had lavender cold foam often and it always had a purple color to it, never just white). As I walked away I can hear the barista start talking about it "why do people always want to question whether the lavender cold foam is correct???" Maybe because lavender is purple? ofc I'm going to question a chocolate cold foam if it's white and not brown- same concept Wasn't a vibe

Just tried them now that they're in the old Monsoon Room space by Jojo's and called Jojo's cafe…read more Wha a special place. The folks running the cafe are so genuinely kind bringing back memories from Bentley's next to UA before it closed. Fast and friendly service, so many homemade syrup options and baked goods, and some breakfast burritos (with veggie options) and premade sandwiches on their homemade focaccia that I need to come back and try. The cardamom honey latte was delicious and I would love to enjoy their patio seating with a good book soon.

I had ordered a hazelnut latte but then I heard some say they had a cardamom honey latte and was like oh yummm. The barista said I can make that for you and yes it was amazing. They use Decibel coffee for their drinks, which also made me happy because I love Decibel. Definitely give them a try if you are downtown.

Many years ago, I visited the original HeeMee Bakery downtown. It isn't very close to me, and…read moredealing with downtown construction and parking has always been a definite downside. Luckily, HeeMee now has a second location on University! Parking still isn't the easiest in this area, but before the UA starts back up again, it's much easier to find a spot. What a cute little bakery and drink shop! I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that they have an entire food menu with sandwiches, rice bowls, ramen, and other goodies. Since it was a hot day, I ordered an Einspänner, a cold brew topped with cream. The coffee was very smooth, and the cream on top was extra thick and rich. It wasn't quite as bold as I usually like my coffee, but nevertheless, it was a nice treat. I especially love the cute décor and atmosphere at HeeMee. It reminds me of many of the charming tea and coffee shops I've visited in Asian districts in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. I'll definitely be back to have a meal and try another drink from their menu!
