    This stop gets 5 stars just for the vibes . Lots of seating options , indoor our outdoor . We chose outdoor with the live band. My honey cinnamon latte was divine . They do serve breakfast ALL- day ! You'll find many vegan options here . Definitely a gem in town .

    I came here for brunch and really enjoyed it! It's a cool, charming spot on 4th with a relaxed and quiet atmosphere. I ordered the Migas plate, which included scrambled eggs mixed with torn corn tortillas, served with a side of beans and a cup of salsa. The staff was friendly, and despite how busy it was, the service was quick. The food was tasty, and I'd definitely come back again!

    Four out of five mornings in Tucson we had breakfast here! Charming cafe, large patio seating, dog friendly tho we don't have our pup with us. Everything we had was so good we would have it again, but we wanted to try other items. Oddly enough neither of had breakfast burritos which is usually the husband's favorite. We had French toast (with berry and lemon curd topping) tofu scrambles, eggs with the "usual" (but better than usual!) and a bagel sandwich with humans, greens, tomat s and olives. Everything was yummy. Service was friendly, attentive and at the same time chill!

    We had a really great brunch prior to our visit to the Tucson Museum of Art. The food was simple and good, we ordered the Migas plate sub tofu for egg and we also enjoyed a glad of iced coffee. The day was windy but we still sat outside and enjoyed our meal. Lots more seating outback than inside, inside had a small sit at the bar area and a cozy indoor space. Parking is on the street or down the street parking, all metered. Bathroom for guests and great service.

    I've been visiting Cafe Passe since I was a student at the UA (many moons ago) and these days, love stopping by during the sleepy summer months. The staff is always so friendly and the space is so warm and welcoming (but appropriately cool, given the AC.) I ordered a hibiscus iced tea and taco salad with beef and a side of salsa during my most recent visit and was quickly reminded why this has been a longtime favorite for so many. The tea was delicious and flavorful and the salad simple and perfect. The beef was perfectly cooked and the veggies crisp and fresh. Caffe Passe continues to be a gem of the 4th Ave/downtown area.

    I'm updating my review for sure. So you know the song "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joanie Mitchell saying you don't know what you got til it's gone. After being closed for many years it opened up last year, I missed it so much. Updated kitchen and table service with a larger selection on the menu. So the song was almost right, but I will not take it for granted ever again.

    Went here on a Sunday, which just happened to coincide with the 4th Ave Street fair. To our pleasure though, the restaurant was not busy, and we were able to grab a spot in the cute outside ally for seating . We ordered the breakfast fries, breakfast sandwich, ranch fries, and the lemon blueberry French toast. Our server was nice buuut not attentive I think, as she came back 3x's to confirm something or ask about something she forgot. The food was good, with the exception of the French toast which was incredibly soggy and cold (even to the touch). I don't understand this as I would assume it was made fresh. Anyway, they rectified the situation and all was good. Overall, cool visit, but does t necessarily pull me back to go again.

    Super cute cafe with " hidden " shabby chic garden out back. Very casual and kitschy. Coffee is done well and service friendly!

    Great afternoon tunes

    Cafe Passe is an absolute gem at the heart of 4th Ave. The building itself has quirky charm, and my favorite area for caffeinated bliss is back in the courtyard. I typically think of Passé as a relaxing brunch and coffee location with quiet ambience, but during a recent visit on an otherwise generic Sunday, I happened to catch live music there too, which really made my day. I didn't realize they host performers regularly now, and the menu has several options that were new to me too. Both the to-go and main dining areas can be busy during street fairs and other events, but in general it's an easygoing place with quick access via the trolley and excellent access to local shops and businesses. Already looking forward to heading back and sucking down lattes all afternoon!

    Menu

    Awesome little place that really puts some love in their food and customer service. Uploading pictures of menu as of 1-6-2026.

    Lunch for two.

    I am glad this place opened back up again! Fantastic workers and supporting local. The ambiance of this cafe truly takes you away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. I miss pieces of their old menu with croissants and hope they can bring that back in the future. Attached is the meal a friend and I got for our lunch. I have gotten quesadillas and they had gotten a more breakfast like dish with French toast.

    Egg Sandwich
    Steven B.

    Very cool little cafe on 4th avenue in downtown Tucson. Definitely a retro casual cafe feel to the place. Almost like you're in someone's house. I had the bagel and egg sandwich and it was fantastic. Prepared perfectly and a great mix of flavors. I saw someone get a standard breakfast and it look good as well. The staff was friendly and service was quick and efficient. Definitely adding this to my favorites in Tucson.

    I will say without hesitation that Juniper serves the best cocktails in Tucson. Maybe not even just…read moreTucson--this is the best of the best you can find through the entirety of Southern Arizona! These drinks are innovative, thoughtful, and aesthetically pleasing in a way that leaves you excited for more and expands one's idea of a well-made libation. Inspired by a medley of global flavors, Juniper started off as a side project from a local brewery and unexpectedly exploded into a swanky hangout with zero seats left open on weekend nights. Yes, virtually everything on the menu is gin-based. But that shouldn't scare you away! Gin is essentially a neutral spirit infused with botanicals and/or citrus, so if you had a bad experience with one brand, there will be another out there you'll fall in love with. Elliott, the General Manager of the bar, elevates the passionate curation of his menu to perfection. Here are some examples of what you might fall in love with: Balzy Maracuya: A 'maracuya' is a passion fruit beverage originating from South America. In this drink, fruity flavors are enhanced with popping boba filled with balsamic vinegar. Botanist: Upscale gin and tonic with thyme, rosemary, and star anise. Cronus Punch: Rum punch lovers will be blown away by the rare sighting of clarified gin On special ocassions, you'll find limited edition items like gin sorbet affogatos and horchata martinis. At the turn of each new year, there's a menu rotation that may sadly remove some of my faves. But here, at Juniper I can guarantee two things: Something uniquely enjoyable, and a gracious staff that will be happy to explain the intricacies of lesser-known spirits on the shelf. In 2026, I predict it will remain one of Tucson's hottest cocktail hangouts.

It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

    One fateful night in Tucson, we stumbled upon the Unicorn Zebra. We had never heard of this place…read morebut were curious so we went in. We were greeted by a giant statue of a unicorn zebra and of course took a selfie. We then went to the bar area and absolutely loved the dark speakeasy vibes. Burk, the handsome man with a shiny head, was at the bar. He handed us a drink menu that contained fun drink names like Death of a Unicorn. The drinks tasted good and had a lovely presentation. Mine even came in a zebra mug. We also learned that this bar has both an upstairs and downstairs area. We enjoyed a couple of drinks and headed home. This place left such an impression that we have been back two times since. On another occasion we had Nate the bartender. He had a lovely personality and accommodated all of the guests that came in near closing. We enjoyed Santa's Banana Hammock and Unicorn Ski Accident. I would definitely recommend this hidden gem. I look forward to seeing where this place goes. It has a ton of potential for special events with the basement area. P.s. It's also a boutique hotel. You could always book a room and enjoy dreams downstairs without having to drive

My large party also tried the popcorn, and it was a bit stale. I was saddened to see that there are no longer charcuterie boards on the menu, leaving only and truly "small bites" that don't really hit the spot. The chocolate covered pretzels were the only thing I ate, which I would order again. I really like the century room , I just hope they make revisions to the menu to really make it the whole experience!
