Food: we ordered the chocolate chip muffin and it was so good. It was more of a cross of between and and scone. Perfect consistency and amount of chocolate chunks Drinks: I got the strawberry shortcake latte and it was delicious and not too sweet which was perfect bc I don't like the sweet artificial tasting lattes. Their soft top was also vegan which is so rare to find Service: the woman that helped us was kind and informative of the products Ambiance: very cute with a lot of seating but I will say it wasn't a cozy coffeeshop, the seats were metal so couldn't see myself hanging out for awhile Parking: designated parking in front of the shop Misc: they make their own syrups! read more

Very cute coffee shop in a prime location right next to La Rosa. When I first walked in, it wasn't clear where the line started, so I just stood behind another customer who was ordering. Unfortunately, the service felt a bit cold, no one acknowledged me, and the staff didn't seem very welcoming or engaged. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which came unsweetened. No one mentioned that ahead of time or pointed out where the sweeteners were, so I had to look around for them myself. The matcha had a nice flavor, but the texture was a bit grainy, suggesting it might not be the highest quality. Also, the bathrooms are located all the way in the back, and there isn't enough signage to guide you there easily. Overall, it has a lot of charm and a great location, but the customer experience could definitely be improved. read more

Yellow Brick is a great little coffee shop with a cute, welcoming atmosphere and consistently great coffee. The staff has always been friendly, and the prices are reasonable compared to a lot of other coffee shops. It's a nice environment whether you're looking to study, catch up with someone, or meet for a casual date. I've been several times and have always enjoyed it--definitely a coffee spot I'd recommend! read more

I've always enjoyed Yellow Brick Coffee and was excited to finally try this location. As a devoted white mocha guy, I was a little bummed to see they didn't offer anything similar. That said, the service was very friendly, the atmosphere was beautiful, and there was plenty of seating. Easy parking with lots of spots was also a big plus. read more

Met some friends here for brunch. We sat at a table out on the patio. They had menus for their food items, but we were surprised the coffee menu wasn't on the back. The only one we saw was on their back wall. I ordered the Rise and Shine spinach salad. It was fresh and delicious. Spinach, a few roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, bacon, red onion, a fried egg on top, with an herb vinegarette dressing on the side. I also had a decaf cappuccino with creamy foam on top. The workers were friendly and efficient. It looks like they do a brisk business with lots of customers coming and going. It was nice to try a different coffee shop. Parking is a little tricky, but I was able to find a spot in their lot. read more

Coffee: Kenyan roast. Way too sour. It was not pulled properly or the machine was calcified. The woman who took my order went back and forth with me about the machine being clean and that's just how it tastes. I drink Black coffee at home and have a machine so I have also experienced sour pulls when something isn't right. $4 for a singular shot. Breakfast sandwich: disgusting. Egg was overcooked and the flavors just weren't balanced. Definitely not worth $11. I took one bit and sent it back. After tax and tip the total was $19. Holy smokes. For mediocre coffee, a bad attitude and nasty bfast sandwich...I'm not sure how this place is in business. It's also in the a hoity toity residential building so the vibes were not that great either! Zero diversity. Evan was very knowledgeable and kind. He understood my concerns when I was trying to choose a roast. He offered to replace it if I didn't like it. However, I never took him up on that offer bc the pull was sour and I anticipated every pull would be since it was an issue with either technique or the machine. Never coming back. Glad I tried it. read more

Love this place! The coffee is wonderful and the vibe immaculate. My go-to spot on Sunday morning to pick up some whole beans for the week. The baristas always have some great insights and recommendations based on how I'm making my coffee. Great meeting spot for breakfast, too. Also, Yellow Brick is just an excellent member of the local community, showing up for all of us. read more

We really enjoy coming here, great vegan pastries (from Houlden's), always friendly and willing to offer suggestions on new drinks. Especially enjoy the vaious options on their lattes.

Boy, this was a really mixed experience. I met a new friend here (neither of us had been before but it was on both of our bucket lists and it was located midway between us). We arrived around 11am on a Saturday and it was about 1/4 occupied. The venue is both bright, airy, clean, and inviting. I was the only one at the register so I took the liberty of asking about their business model. It turns out they don't have a loyalty program (unlike Cafe Luce or Savaya or BlackRock, Exo, etc.,) and they also don't do plain coffee refills on any of their fancy drinks such as $6-7 lattes. The only time you are eligible to get a refill (they always cost $1, never free) is if you originally purchased a plain coffee to begin with. My friend opted for a latte (there is only one size, 12 oz, and it's $7!) and she also got oat milk (their only alternative to cow's milk... no soy, almond, or coconut, which is her fav) and lastly she added lavender honey as the sweetener. BOTH of these cost an extra $1 each, resulting in a total of $9 for what amounts to a small latte at most other cafes. The taste was good (but to be clear, Not worth $9). The bigger disappointment was the Chai latte ($6.50 + $1 for oat milk, also just 12 oz). While the flavors (made from a powder/mix) were quite good and perfectly (medium) sweet, the execution was awful -- it arrived barely warm, just a fraction above room temperature. My friend and I had such a good conversation going by that time I didn't want to interrupt to protest the chai that became downright cold within 5 minutes, so I drank it as is. The staff was friendly, except for the one brunette with full arm/leg tattoos (and we love tattoos). She was... extremely sparing with any charm or politeness. Parking is ample and free in this small but elegant strip mall. There is also one bathroom and it was tidy. Wifi is free with password at the register. Note: neither of us noticed that the cafe closes at 2pm (daily) and at 2:10 we were gently advised they had just closed (indeed there was no one left, Doh!). Note: they don't have actual decaf drip/coffee. The only way they can make a cup of decaf is via an "Americano" which is decaf espresso diluted with a bunch of hot water (this is horrible tasting vs true decaf coffee). Other places may not have a pot of decaf ready at all times (understandably) but they'll do a no-up-charge pour-over of decaf ground coffee... it makes a big difference. It turns out both of us normally drink decaf daily (a trend I have noticed among more and more of my officemates too). Just something to keep in mind with YBC if you are a decaf drinker this would not be the place to get it, plus the refill Lol. read more

I visited the new Downtown location by the courthouse and it was so nice! This is more like a grab and go coffee place though. Not many seating tables, but the grassy area towards the front of building has some games like cornhole. I did see some tables to sit and relax, but they were on the other side of the coffee area so they might be missed. Service was great and they had some yummy pastries. I tried the raspberry matcha and it's one of the best I've had. 10/10 recommend read more

While visiting Tucson this shop was on my list to try! The reviews were great so we decided to go on a Tuesday morning and they were not too busy. The decor is very clean and light. There is plenty of seating but by the time we got there the only place to sit was outside. The baristas were a bit cold when answering questions and our conversation really seemed one sided. Maybe they were having a bad day so it's not a big deal, plus the coffee definitely makes up for it. I tried their seasonal special the B.A.N.A.N.A.S latte and my husband tried their summer shandy. Both drinks were lightly sweetened and I appreciated their house-made syrups. After my latte I also ordered a pour over which was phenomenal. Overall, this place is worth going out of your way to try. I'd definitely recommend it! read more

This is my Sunday AM, pre-church stop. I really enjoy their Breakfast sandwich in Barrio Bread ($11 + $1) I'll take it, an iced mocha, and a hot mocha to go. The baristas always make sure the drinks come out balanced and delicious. The sandwich travels well and tastes great! It's a comfy little local spot to chill at while waiting, so sometime I'll come back to dine in. read more

A friend and I stopped in on our morning walk today, and I'm an immediate fan of Yellow Brick Coffee's laid-back, quiet vibe and their delicious food and drink options! I got an iced matcha latte and the Goat Toast -- an excellent combination, as it turns out! The matcha is unsweetened (my preference!) which just lets the flavor of the tea shine. The Goat Toast is a thick slice of toasted bread slathered in a delicious fig jam, topped with goat cheese, walnuts, and a drizzle of balsamic. The result is a perfect savory-sweet bite that feels breakfast-y without being too heavy-handed. I would 100% get this again, though I also had my eye on the smoothies. My friend got the PBC, and said she loved it! The shop was quiet and the staff were friendly; it was a very relaxing space to sit and chat, and I'll definitely be back! read more

What a nice surprise this was. i had to drive into Tucson to pick up a dear friend from the nearby hospital complex. Not wanting to sit around in a boring hospital lobby, I opted to drive to the closest recycling center and drop off sone cardboard and glass bottles. (I live in Sierra Vista and Cochise County does not recycle, so I use day trips to Tucson as an excuse to visit this great little town.) I saw YBC as I was nearing a right turn to the recycling center and knew I had to try this place out. It did not disappoint. It was just after 11am on a Wednesday and the place was busy. I ordered an iced latte and took a seat at the side counter. The barista was very efficient and friendly. The upholstered seat was comfy! I noticed the many AC and USB outlets everywhere. Free guest wifi with the password posted is also available. My latte came out promptly. I added two packets of raw sugar and I had the perfect late morning pick-me-up while I waited for that phone call from my friend to come get him. The place was busy until 1pm when the crowd began to thin out. read more

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite coffee spots in Tucson. I had heard great things before visiting, and it definitely lives up to the hype. It's the perfect place to study, with plenty of seating, outlets, and free WiFi. The employees are incredibly friendly and engage in small talk with nearly every customer. I tried the Apple Spiced Latte, which had a great balance of espresso and milk, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy coffee shop experience. read more

I can't believe what an upgrade this is to their old location. Definite change of vibe - the old location was a destination, the new one is close enough to the UofA to attract students & faculty. The menu hasn't changed much and is virtually identical to the Stacks in Oro Valley. The sitting area has about a dozen small tables that were virtually all filled with laptops and people working when we stopped in. I think they need a little more seating. I ordered the peppermint mocha pictured on the left which had the best foam artwork I've ever seen from a barista - a snowman! My wife had the regular latte on the right. They were both wonderful of course. IMHO YBC has the best coffee in town, but there is not accounting for taste, right?! read more

Supppppper impressed with Yellow Brick Coffee! The atmosphere is clean and modern - and once inside, it doesn't feel like you're at the bottom of an apartment complex. Both baristas that were working were super sweet. One even brought my drink to the table with a couple of tips on how it could be best enjoyed. Which brings me to the real star....the latte! Oh. My. It was the best latte I've had in a minute! I ordered the special Ginger Latte iced with oatmilk. Not only was it beautiful, it was absolutely delicious. Not too sweet, not too spicy - go get it before it's gone! I know I will be going again! read more

Nice atmosphere, good coffee, a bit pricey, bad parking (but I walk there). They don't have nonfat milk, only whole and oat milk.

This place is so cute! The atmosphere is very chill and trendy and the furniture is super cute. I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte and it was delicious!! It's a little on the stronger side but I enjoyed it. I also ordered "Just Toast" for a little snack and, I mean, you can't go wrong with sourdough bread! It comes with jam (which i'm thinking it's fig jam) and butter and it's a good little treat. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars is because it wasn't too busy but we did wait a little over 10-ish minutes for our drinks (2) plus 30+ mins for my Toast and my friend ordered a Turkey B.T.A. Music was a little loud, just make sure to sit away from the little speaker by where they make your coffee and I think you'll be good! Seems like a great place to study or do work or just to hang out with friends. There's pretty good options on the food menu! I'll be back to try the french toast and an iced matcha! read more

Yellowbrick Coffee is a gem and easily one of my favorite café spots in town!! The space is calm and inviting, and the drinks are always consistently good. I usually go for a vanilla latte during the colder months and switch to a caramel macchiato when it warms up--both are perfectly balanced and never overly sweet. The baristas are kind and attentive, making each visit feel like a small treat. Whether you're headed to work or just want a quiet moment to yourself, this place is always a comforting stop. read more

Yellow Brick has come a long way! From starting out vending at the farmers market to opening their small roastery and shop, and now this lovely storefront! The space is well appointed and nice spot to get work done. The menu has plenty of options from coffee to tea, smoothies, and breakfast and lunch bites and of course pastries that baked in house, along with a selection from Houlden's Rise Above. I found the staff to be very welcoming and accommodating. Will be adding them to my rotation for workdays away from my home office. read more
