IT IS ON THE SECOND FLOOR. If you're going to the mall location, save yourself the hike and know it is by JCPenney. That's the only issue you're going to have with this place--everything else is flawless. From the ambience that Caffeine Cauldron has crafted with its geeky music to its great staff, there really isn't anything wrong here. I ordered the Thor's Thunder Throw (roll for coffee) and was kind of hesitant to go with what the fates had decided of hazelnut and strawberry latte with strawberry cold foam. But I put my trust in these wonderful baristas and was pleasantly surprised. Even with that combination, Caffeine Cauldron has great coffee and is a great place to sit and people watch at the mall.

This coffee shop is located inside the Tucson Mall and the ambiance is what you would expect from a storefront in the shopping mall. The customer service representative was nice and they have an extensive menu of themed drink options. However, the coffee itself was not very good. I tried the Nimbus 2000 drink special, but they were out of butterscotch for the day, so they made it salted caramel instead. I would not order it again.

What could be better than this themed cafe? Its one of the best coffee shops in the city the drinks all have cool names based off of your favorite shows/movies/games. Its unique and has a relaxed vibe. The employees are all very nice. My favorite drink is the sea salt frappe. They also have non-dairy milk alternatives.

Found this in the mall by waking around. I love the vibe and I also happen to be a coffee lover. I also love all the names on all the drinks and the whole idea is this place. Everybody was very nice and we enjoyed our little coffee break in their break area. The cold day-0 latte was definitely amazing and new flavor that I will happily try again. Also the sonic speed latte was really good. Really hit my snack itch. Will definitely return!

Caffeine Cauldron is a coffee shop located in the Tucson Mall and run by Tucson Games and Gadgets is one of the most unique, themed cafes in the area. From your favorite movie soundtracks playing in the background to themed drinks based on classic movies and games, there's something for everyone here! For May, the limited time drinks are all themed around Star Wars so I ordered the "Chewie," which had incredible flavoring and was a great price for the size of the coffee. The barista I talked with was great and super welcoming. I will definitely be going back and can't wait to see what the new limited time drinks are next month!

Very unique, locally owned, fun store just right for book, game & movie geeks who need some coffee. Felt right at home with the off beat atmosphere which made sense since one of their missions is a SAFE space for all. They've got a nice couch & tables & service was good. I also loved the mini lending library & cute little tschotkes to buy. Bought 2 teensy mini gators for $1! Heard you can play some board games while you sip. Bakery case was kinda empty but our drinks were creative (Day o Latte - Bananas Foster Latte w Hazelnut foam & a Feywild Fog Machiatto that reminded me of chocolate covered strawberries) concoctions with nerdy names! If you're hankering for some LOR or Princess Bride vibes you've found your place. TLDR: Local nerd friendly coffee place w creative drinks. 2nd floor Tucson Mall. Good prices & service. read more

This adorable coffee shop is located inside Park Place Mall. The barista was so fun! She let us know they're associated with the game shop in the mall and explained how to roll the dice to help pick a drink if you don't know what you want. I ended up having the London fog, iced, half sweet and it was lovely. read more

My boyfriend and I walk at Park Place Mall at least four times a week, and we frequently stop at Caffeine Cauldron for coffee. We prefer drip coffee and have always enjoyed supporting your business. Unfortunately, during our visits on June 30 and July 1, 2026, we had disappointing experiences with an employee named Eva. On both occasions, she refused to make drip coffee and was dismissive and discourteous in the way she communicated with us. While I understand there may be operational reasons for not brewing a full pot, the interaction lacked professionalism and customer service. A polite explanation or an effort to accommodate the request, even if it wasn't possible, would have made a significant difference. As regular customers, we expect to be treated with courtesy and respect. Based on these two experiences, I was left with the impression that customer service was not a priority during our visits. I hope this feedback is taken constructively so future customers have a better experience than we did. read more

Been here a couple times so far, and the best part of it by far is the coffee. I've gotten a couple lattes so far, sometimes sugar-free. The sugar-free mocha is one of the best I've had in town. It's a cute place, probably not somewhere I'd sit in for an extended period of time, but with the size of the shop that makes sense. Some of the "art" pieces themselves are a little strange-looking, but I'm not confident that I want that to affect their rating. The staff have been polite and friendly every time - one of the workers even punched my 'Loyalty Card' twice because I said I'd been there before. read more

Also very limited on food.. maybe a few pastries. There were small tables, and a couch seating. But this place has fans clearly, because it was pretty consistent with customers. I got a chai drink that I flavored with lavender I think it was (or maybe it was pistachio, I can't remember). Either way it was light, and good. The building gave modern and European or something, I don't know. It was cool for a remote work.

When it's not triple digits outside, the seating outside is nice and doesn't make you feel like you're sitting on top of the barista. But, once again, there's not a whole lot of it. Blessed Grounds is definitely a place to hit up when you're in the neighborhood for some strong vibes and coffee.

I got the burrito( basic has potato, egg, beans , cheese) and the protein I added was bacon and extra was guac. Also got the 16oz Dirty Chai. My friend came for first time and was surprised to open her order and find two burritos- I knew and wanted to see her face- she loved the taste and the fact she had lunch or dinner later as one truly is so full of deliciousness- it fills you up!

My cube lasted an hour in their glass cup, and the drink tasted great and flavorful even when it was gone. No condensation worries at all. Straws are nice and sturdy too! Would come back again. (:

This is a smooth cup of coffee, from a surprising location. I ordered an iced hazelnut latte and…read morecould not have been more happy with the finished product. At Crema, they use one big ice cube that resembles one found in a whiskey on the rocks. A large part of me thinks that the finished product can be attributed to the fact that virtually nothing is watered down. The barista was incredibly kind and inviting from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. Because of this, I can get past the sparse seating options that made it feel a little hollow. There weren't a ton of people seated, but it seemed like a good, quiet place to work. More people need to know about this tucked away little place.

Very cute coffee shop in a prime location right next to La Rosa. When I first walked in, it wasn't…read moreclear 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.

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!

I love it here. The food is so good. My favorites are their breakfast sandwich and their specialty…read morepizzas. They also have delicious pastries. Oh, and my favorite drink is the turmeric ginger infusion. Yes I know it's probably just something I could buy and make myself, but the point is that I don't have to do that -- I can just go to Time Market and have them do it for me! It is very small so keep that in mind. Their outside area is great. If there's an event at the University you might not be able to get a seat, so just have a plan b for that. I also love the grocery area. They have some items here that you can't find anywhere else in town, such as specialty chocolates and certain brands and flavors of ice cream. They also have some basics like produce and meat. It's worth a visit and you can walk to it from both the 4th avenue area as well as the main gate area.

I recommend you stop here if you're visiting the university or in town for another occasion! Seems like lots of locals love it too! The space was small but luckily we found a table to eat at. Service was quick too and they have a water station available.
