Many years ago, I visited the original HeeMee Bakery downtown. It isn't very close to me, and…read moredealing with downtown construction and parking has always been a definite downside. Luckily, HeeMee now has a second location on University! Parking still isn't the easiest in this area, but before the UA starts back up again, it's much easier to find a spot. What a cute little bakery and drink shop! I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that they have an entire food menu with sandwiches, rice bowls, ramen, and other goodies. Since it was a hot day, I ordered an Einspänner, a cold brew topped with cream. The coffee was very smooth, and the cream on top was extra thick and rich. It wasn't quite as bold as I usually like my coffee, but nevertheless, it was a nice treat. I especially love the cute décor and atmosphere at HeeMee. It reminds me of many of the charming tea and coffee shops I've visited in Asian districts in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. I'll definitely be back to have a meal and try another drink from their menu!

They may do some of these great but what I had wasn't very good. I'm not sure if they have legit cooking equipment in the back... I had the yakiudon bowl and a side of cabbage salad. It was supposed to come with two easy over eggs and I saw a precooked sunnyside pair go in to chef Mike's (rowave) oven. I could not eat the eggs. The old was like hard rubber and couldn't even be cut through with a fork. The cabbage salad was just chopped salad. I'll maybe try it again. Have a sandwich or something. Nothing with eggs though. Staff was nice but had to wait a long time to be helped. Only one person preparing drinks and taking orders. Longer time waiting for the microwave to beep.

I didn't know this place existed until I happened to come across it on Yelp! I am Vietnamese and…read moregrew up eating Vietnamese meals, including delicious desserts. I'm so happy to have found this place ! You order at the counter and there is plenty of seating. I ordered the tri-color Vietnamese dessert called Chè Ba Mau, which translates literally to tri-color dessert. Chè is a traditional category of Vietnamese desserts that can range from sweet soups to puddings, and it often combines various beans, jellies, and fruits with coconut milk and shaved ice, traditionally. This particular one here consists of coconut milk, pandan agar jelly, red beans, and water chestnut coated in tapioca. The hubby ordered the grass jelly and coconut milk dessert. The grass jelly has a mild herbal depth and it is balanced beautifully by the smooth, lightly sweet coconut milk. Both are equally refreshing and sweet, with quality ingredients that really make it satisfying on a hot Tucson day. I absolutely will be returning here for future Vietnamese desserts!!

I love that Pure Love adapted and added more vegan menu items to their already great list of things. Here's what's new - amor vegan bowl, Sonoran fruit bowl, avo love bowl, coconut fruit bowl, tempeh hummus panini, strawberry lavender toast (ask for vegan option), hibiscus avo toast and finally some vegan cream cheese. The sauces and cream cheese and dressings are all house made... I really love the herb cream cheese. Besides that, in the grab and go area, there are some new almond butter vegan brownies by momè in collab w/ pure love and also some arrow con leche which I can say is so delicious. I got my usually raw cacao smoothie from the main pure love juice spot and added vegan chocolate protein and almond butter. And also an oat milk cappuccino. Let your friends know and come one by. Service is always wonderful, love the space, and will continue to go back .

They carry brands like siete & lesser evil. Other than snacks and bites , there's not much here for a vegan . You can do avo toast modified ( boring) , coffee , snacks or paleta . I came in actually hungry for lunch so we ended up walking to the original Pure Love JUICE location Nextdoor to order food . I'll have to come back to try a coffee !

I usually only come for the lunch offerings, but am always tempted by their coffee and pastry items, which others in my group always enjoy. I love the bulgogi and the chicken options. If you need anything specialized, the staff are always open and friendly to guide or modify what they can on the menu items. The wait is never long. There is a decent but small seating area, and most people come to pickup to go. It is located in the dense downtown and parking can be an issue, but coming downtown means exploring and that makes this a good spot to visit. Love the food, people and location.

The gimmick here is that all ice cream is made on the spot: the base and any mix-ins are put in a bowl, then stirred together as they're frozen by liquid nitrogen. The menu offers a lot of options, including multiple vegan ice cream bases. You choose an ice cream base, the ice cream flavor, and any mix-ins or toppings, and your bespoke ice cream is made in front of you! It's fun to get creative, and the ice cream itself was amazingly silky -- I've truly never had another ice cream that was this lusciously smooth. It is more expensive than other ice cream shops (and depending on how excited you get about add-ins, could be SIGNIFICANTLY more so), but the quality of the ice cream, the options for customization, and the novelty of the process definitely put it on my list for a fun sometimes treat!

Our order always has been taken quickly and accurately, and it usually is served pretty quickly too. A few times, it's been super crowded, and it's taken a little extra time to get everyone's order through the machines. Worth it though. My go-to order is an oat milk base with chocolate and peanut butter, while my partner loves an ice cream base with strawberry and peanut butter. The texture is consistently smooth and creamy, and the flavors are excellent. Another big plus is the variety of dietary options available. They offer plenty of gluten-free and dairy-free choices, making it easy for everyone to find something they'll enjoy. Highly recommended!
