    Service was excellent this morning and the service seems to be in a wonderful mood! Always a great spot. The Dubai White Mocha was okay but nothing special. Nonetheless it's always fun trying something new.

    Great service! Great coffee! We tried the iced Mocha Azteca and iced dark chocolate mocha--both delicious! I tried their pumpkin muffin--sinful! Huge and easy to split with someone. Egg sandwich was yummy as well! Definitely work stopping to start your day here!

    The pictures of Caffe Luce sold me- mid century/industrial loft, iron floors, wired staircase, wood beams- it's design is no doubt modern. I was excited to learn they roast their own beans. I was planning to stay a couple hours and work, so I asked about drip refills? Unfortunately not, but a 25 cent discount is given.. I ordered a cafe aulait. It was too milky for my liking. Perhaps the milk/creaminess overpowered the coffee, but to be honest, it did not hit the spot. Roasting occurs at their other location- I'd probably hit up that spot and try something else if I come back again.

    This was a great hangover cure after a good night in Tucson. Came in to a friendly staff who really seemed to enjoy their job. I simply got a latte but it was great. The big plus here was the loft, which really is pretty awesome. We sat upstairs in the loft and found it to be a private but inviting location. If I lived close this would be a great place to work remote.

    Perfect Steel cut oats with fresh fruit.

    Stopped in on a Friday morning for a little bite. The steel cut oats with fresh fruit was perfectly cooked and the fruit was very fresh. I decided to try their Italian soda and I was not disappointed, the flavors were perfectly balanced. The place overall is very chill and welcoming and has great little spots to either relax and just enjoy the street traffic as it passes by or do even some work.

    It's been a moment since the last time I was here (2019) and I am glad that I came back. The four of us ordered various versions of the peppermint patti and all of them were very good. The staff were very friendly and funny. I like the Wurlitzer in the corner and had fun explaining to my son how they work. See if you can find the typo in my fourth picture ;)

    Cute coffee shop on the corner of Fifth and Congress. Lots of tea and coffee options as well as some pastries. Ambiance is urban-industrial with seating options both upstairs and downstairs. I tried the iced Aztec mocha latte and it was perfectly sweetened with some delicious spices added. Friendly baristas but be prepared for a little wait as they appear to get pretty busy.

    Dave sandwich and iced Azteca mocha

    Loved, loved, loved my experience here! Stopped by in the morning after a train ride and the Dave Sandwich hit the spot! Was thankful they put the Tapatio on the side since I don't tolerate spice well. The Azteca Mocha was delicious -- not too sweet, subtly cinnamony. Thr employees were just so kind -- felt so welcomed after my long trip. I honestly wish I had spent more time enjoying this space!

    This spot is one of my favorite coffee shops in Tucson. I have come here for all kinds of reasons- somewhere quiet to work, a first date, and a place to hang with friends. It has a great atmosphere with lots of seating options. The coffee is consistently delicious with lots of flavor options. Their good quite good too, the grilled PB&J is my favorite. The staff are SOOOOO friendly and do their best to help you have a good experience. I highly recommend this place to folks coming in town for the weekend or locals.

    Located at the corner of Congress/Fifth Ave which places it across from The Hub and Club Congress. Great, industrial ambiance, with a high-ceilinged main floor and a cozy upstairs resulting in nifty, multiple separated seating areas. Convenient location if working or visiting downtown (but pretty much no street parking if solely coming for coffee here). Drinks encompass all that you might expect from a cafe and come in three typical sizes (12, 16, and 20 oz) and are priced similarly to other coffeehouses. Barrista didn't mention any kind of loyalty/rewards program and we couldn't find any mention on website either, so that might discourage some.

    Love this place! Service was quick and super friendly - the almond-milk chai is perfectly delicious and spicy! There are tons of place to sit on each level and decor is comfortably industrial. Will for sure be back again :)

    Coffe was great and baked goods were fresh. Come enjoy the staff and space. The breakfast sandwich was incredible.

    Really cool interior with two stories and ample study space. Electic vibe. Unusual menu offerings as well. I ordered the Aztec mocha latte, decaf, with almond milk and it was really good. However, there's only one barista who is also manning the cash register so you might be waiting a while for your drink. Also, the kitchen was closed when I got here at around 4 PM on a Sunday which was a bummer. I'm not sure when the kitchen closes, but that might be something to keep in mind if you're planning on eating here as well.

    Urban Fresh - Raw Taco Wrap

    Stopped by for the first time and was greeted very warmly by Chauncey the owner! He's front of…read morehouse while his wife is the main cook. I came with a friend who's vegan. She got the daily special which was a potsticker inspired noodle dish. WOW!!!! Absolutely amazing. It was sweet and savory with lots of flavor and yummy vegetables. I ordered the biscuits and gravy because it is my favorite dish EVER. Urban Fresh did not disappoint. The homemade biscuits were fantastic, with chive mixed in throughout. I could have eaten an entire bowl of the gravy and not been disappointed! It was so so so delicious. I was nervous bc it was coconut based but it all came together very balanced and I could not detect any coconut. I also ended up getting the sweet heart juice which has beets, carrots, ginger. It was so good!!!! Chauncey blended it as soon as I ordered. He pulled out the ingredients in front of me so it doesn't get fresher than that!! Please support local! The owners are really doing something special here and I would definitely come back to enjoy more things on the menu.

    Urban Fresh is honestly a vegan staple for me and such a gem downtown. Completely plant-based,…read moreeverything made in house, and you can absolutely feel the heart the owners put into this place -- truly some of the most genuine people around. When I was new to town, the owner actually came out, chatted with me, and gave me a whole list of places to check out, people to meet, and things to do. It was such a welcoming moment that I've made a point to pay that forward to every new-to-town person I meet. Looking back, Urban Fresh was one of my very first experiences here -- and it set the bar. Fresh juices, house rolls, rotating specials, and all those scratch-made sauces keep things exciting every visit. Cozy vegan oasis energy tucked into a cute downtown cove, and still one of my consistent go-tos. The African hot sauce is my fav!
