Always enjoy my visits to Yellow Brick and it's a I recommend and take many of my friends. Clean, bright and elegant...Great for just a simple hang, work or school. A varied food selection and great service.
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.
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.
Food is wonderful. You could see green in the zucchini muffin !! The almond cookie latte was divine! Service is attentive and ambiance is bright and beautiful!
Sooooooo cute ! This coffee shop offers up some unique drinks. I did the espresso ginger tonic & vegan bakery item from Houldens bakery ( cherry pop tart ) . I love that they carry quite a few vegan items here. Everything was delicious, service was quick . Parking is free but does have a time limit & parking is very limited .
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
First time here and will definitely be back! I drive by this place every morning and finally decided to check it out, only regret is not going sooner! I got the rosemary brown sugar latte which was sooo delicious. I would order again and explore their menu! The breakfast bagel was amazing, the bacon was nice and crispy and it was super filling. The baristas are really friendly and the vibe inside is so cute. They also carry vegan pastries from houlden rise above! It's spacious and not too loud so it would make the perfect spot to bring your laptop and hang out.
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

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

Great vibe and great coffee!! I like to study here I just wish they were open later cause I love the energy so much!! read more
Absolutely wonderful coffee shop, however it's more than just coffee. Smoothies were delicious. Their Barrio Bake was exceptional. Terrific place to come sit indoor or outdoors. Loved the atmosphere, either eclectic or business it's a wonderful place to just hang and enjoy friends. 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

Thank you for these kind words and glowing review.
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

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

I got their matcha latte and although I prefer mine more sweet, it definitely was still good. You can really taste the quality of the matcha. Great service, I was going to put my dirty mug back after I finished more work up but a worker came by and cleaned it up for me! Really nice place to do work. There's a restroom in the back and they have wifi and outlets. 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
Had a mid day work meeting here and this is a great spot. Lots of seating in a relaxed comfortable vibe. Background music was there, but not distracting. The staff was helpful in explaining what makes Yellow Brick special and took time to explain the different flavor profiles for their various roasts. We ordered the drip and an oat cortado, but interested in their sandwiches and pastries that they have available. The coffee was solid. Yellow Brick is another strong addition to the coffee scene in Tucson. read more
