I stopped by here as I wanted some coffee while grabbing lunch next-door. It was a cute little coffee shop. I decided to get the latte with added caramel syrup. I also saw variety of empanadas, so I decided to try the pineapple. The pineapple empanada was heated up and it was hot. It was tasty, but it wasn't anything special. My latte was a little bit sweet. Overall, it was $16 and I'm not sure if it was that worth the price. The service was friendly and quick. If you're in the area, I think it'll be OK to stop and try it. read more

Got a delicious caramel latte from here. Also snagged a chocolate pecan cookie because it looked so delicious (and it was!). They make salads and sandwiches. They have little fruit trays. Good grab n go when you're on the move downtown. read more

This charming local coffee spot is perfect for a downtown pick me up. Sweet soft music gentle calmed my nervous system as I entered Ikes. The friendly staff greeted me and took my order. Iced hazelnut latte and super BLT. I sat by the window, a view of the metal sculpture in front of the library and people walking by. I felt the serenity of the moment. This place provides a cozy nook to get some work done or meet up with a friend. There is a small outdoor patio on the corner for some fresh air. The sandwich was delicious and came with a side salad. Although it was tasty, I'm not sure if I would call it super as it was a bit thin. Overall I am so grateful for this place, it's is in a great location and fairly priced for this economy. read more

Ike's in downtown is my go-to spot for a quick, to-go coffee. My all-time favorite is the hot mocha latte!! I haven't had a chance to try any pastries or sit down there yet, but the coffee is consistently great, and the service is always fast, easy, and friendly. Definitely recommend for a quick pick-me-up! read more

I give this place five stars because they have always come through for me when I needed a caffeine or breakfast fix during my work day. Great coffee and food conveniently located downtown. 5* = A top favorite. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient or the only option. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = Stay away at all costs! read more

Stopped over to grab some lunch, as there were signs that said sandwiches and salads. Definitely was more of a coffee place than a sit-down eatery. Ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. The sandwich was okay. Unique cheeses and well melted/crispy but rather flat. The salad that came on the side was a bit wilted. The dressing was very good. I ordered a chocolate croissant/pastry on the way out. It almost tasted stale with chocolate chips that were not incorporated into the pastry. Definitely not worth the calories. It's located in a lobby of a building, so there's a lot of elevator traffic. The staff was friendly, so that was a positive. Maybe the coffee is better than the food and atmosphere? Not sure I'm impressed. read more

I stopped by Ike's for lunch and ordered the hummus salad and it was fantastic. The food was fresh my wait wasn't very long and it was just tasty. The service was also good no complaints I got my food to go and left a tip. The ambiance is pretty basic nothing especially spectacular but I wouldn't mind having a seat and eating on site. I'll be back for that salad!! read more

Over 10/10 and prices are really good we got two medium coffees and two pastries for 15 bucks, what a deal!!! Come visit this local downtown coffee shop!!! read more

Go-to coffee shop for government workers in the area. Pleasant interior, light and airy, but the chairs are hard wood so don't plan to sit for too long. Great view of the area out of the big windows. Nice selection of coffees, nothing real exotic but they cover all the bases. Good selection of pastries, and they serve sandwiches at lunch. Pleasant place to stop if traffic allows you to arrive downtown sooner than planned and you have a few minutes to while away with a caffeinated beverage. read more

Had to finally stop in and check out this cute little gem. Greeted with an amazing smile, this spot feels like the right place to be in downtown on a Wednesday morning. I picked up a Blueberry muffin and asked Mikhail about the types of drinks/ his speciality as well as what he recommends. He definitely knows how to respond professionally and swiftly, Someone who knows their menu. I asked for the Cupid's Arrow Smoothie, a cold sweet refreshing beverage, a specialty drink made by my barista.I will definitely be back in. Side note, music inside also rocks and Mikhail will sing while he's working haha. read more

I stopped in to have a latte. I selected the July special raspberry and white mocha and I enjoyed the taste. The atmosphere of Ike's reminds me of establishments in DC. It is cozy and built for efficiency. As a college professor, I like to look for coffee places that are a little more inviting so I can stay and do some research and writing. Even without the Covid-19 pandemic, Ike's does not present the atmosphere I am looking for in a coffee house. If you are in a hurry and just want a drink and some food, you will probably like this place. It was clean, the staff were friendly, and the food looked appetizing. read more

Manager Alison is very rude. Under her management, there has been a huge turnover of workers. In just a few years, there have been dozens of workers come and go. Alison belittled and harassed an employee so much that he slapped her in the face and quit. Alison has now begun to be rude to customers like myself. For several weeks she has been argumentative with me. Recently I have been avoiding her, but this morning she demanded to be the cashier for my order. She then engaged in a needless argument with me. I asked her to stop, and just take my payment, but she did not stop. She continued arguing with me over and over again. I could not just leave because I had to pay. After I finally paid, I went to the security desk. As I was speaking to the security guard, Alison insisted on speaking with me. I told Alison that I did not want to speak with her, and she insisted several more times; at which point I had to threaten to call the police for Alison to back off and leave. The security guard herself even told me that Alison had once rudely taken a parking spot that the security guard had already paid for. Alison's workers routinely confide in customers that Alison is very hard to work for. Alison should not be a manager. read more

Wish I could be leaving a better review, but I ordered a sandwich and coffee...the coffee was ok, but the sandwich was nothing to brag about ... very disappointing honestly, read more

I don't come to Ike's super often, even though it's the closest to my office, because a lot of the coffee runs too sweet for my taste (which is saying something, I assure you). But I popped in today and was greeted by a friendly and enthusiastic barista who was knowledgeable about the menu options and just chatty enough to be pleasant but not annoying. I ordered a peach scone and an April special- the Rosé All Day. The drink is a white chocolate mocha latte with a touch of rose syrup, and I ordered it with oat milk. Delicious! Everything tastes great and the barista was pleasant and fast. read more

Always great service and great coffee, there's lots of places to sit and a good place to do some work or visit with friends

They make coffee quick for the person on the go. They are life savers for people that are going to the court for jury duty

I have no clue why it took me so long to meander into Ike's Coffee & Tea, but I am so happy that I did! We stopped by on today's lunch break, and I was thrilled to find a seasonal selection of coffee drinks as well as a decent sized lunch menu / food offerings. I opted for the "Pumpkin Pie White Mocha" half sweet, and a Greek Salad. The salad was priced extremely well, and made with the freshest of ingredients. Cannot wait to try their other salad options! My coffee was pretty good, but still a tad too sweet for my liking. I picked up a punch card on my way out, so I can come back and earn some rewards in the mean time! Definitely a great place to stop by for a casual meeting, or to grab a quick lunch. read more

I'm not a fan. Both times I've gotten lunch here I was very very very disappointed. The latest time was getting a sandwich that had turkey on it, and they added TUNAFISH to it! I didn't discover this addition until I started eating it and tasted something SOUR -- it was the TUNA!! So gross. Not sure if it's the owner who doesn't really care about food quality or customer experience or the staff just need an overhaul in Customer Service, but the overall vibe is that you are bothering them when you come into the shop - even when there's no one else there. Will not be back and would not recommend. read more

I work just down the street from Ike's. I love their salads, they're so fresh with great ingredients- the Clooney is my favorite. I also love this gluten free crescent shaped, chocolate dipped, coconut macaroon cookie they sometimes have at the counter l! I'm not gluten free, but it's so tastes. I also enjoy a coffee once in awhile when I'm tired of my office stuff- always good. read more

I stopped in on the way back from the parking garage to the Pima County jury assembly room during a lunch break. Ike's was a random stop that was there when the thought to have something for lunch hit me ... and there it was ... just across the street! It was an extremely pleasant surprise. The atmosphere was upbeat, modern and immaculate with sufficient seating for quick stop lunch crowd. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The sandwich menu offered a decent variety - I ordered their William Tell (turkey & provolone with slices of Granny Smith apple on a baguette) and a cup of coffee. The sandwich was both generous and tasty. What more can I say? If you're in downtown Tucson, looking for something quick that ISN'T "fast food", I can't think of a better place. I definitely recommend their shop for a quick bite on the go. read more

I really hope the bakery stuff gets improved soon. I used to get a zucchini muffin here every morning, but stopped when for weeks the muffins tasted stale and dry. Plus, half the time I wouldn't even get the correct one - they would give me a morning glory. Which is less than ideal as I'm allergic to carrots. After a long hiatus, I decided to give it a try again. Get my muffin... Hoof all the way back to my office, crack open my muffin to find - morning glory. The last 3 times I've ordered, all three times given the wrong one. And just opening this muffin with my hands, I see it still feels dry. Also, I fear that Ike's has gone too far hipster. I know that is the vibe there, but another reason I cut down my patronage was because the staff there had become increasingly bored, annoyed and just plain slow. Drinks has grounds in them, and wait times were longer and longer. Given its prime location and being a fixture of downtown, Ike's will never want for business. But for now, I'm still taking mine elsewhere. read more

Coffeehouse downtown ... but they also have a selection of hot and cold sandwiches. I needed a cold sandwich to go , so selected vegetarian which was nine dollars with tax. I selected this one because menu said it came on ciabatta bread. when I received the sandwich it looked like it had aunt Hattie's grocery store bread. I asked the people behind the counter and they assured me it was ciabatta , see photo what do you think? Bread Also soft and uniformly sliced like aunt Hattie's from Safeway, read more

You have to order the grilled tuna sandwich with apples and avocado. So good!!!

The French Connection sandwich was spectacular and their ice coffee was delicious. A cute little cafe that I'm glad to have stumbled upon!

To be fair I am talking about the satellite Ike"s at the U of A. Small, kind of messy. But that would have been forgiven if my iced decaf hadn't tasted as if someone ground out their cigarette in the grounds. Bad taste and strange texture; yeah texture in coffee. Yuck. read more

Work downtown and this is my go-to place for hot or cold drinks. Fast service, always fresh coffee and reasonable prices. Not your typical coffee shop where you can come and hang around but but a fast in and out the door kind of place. They have breakfast and lunch items but havent tried any! read more

First, the service was great and friendly and right on time. However, being on keto, I needed a salad and their Gotham salad appeared to be approaching a Cobb salad so I went for it. It wasn't good at all. Just about the whole salad seemed overly processed, even the eggs (I didn't know you could over process eggs). I'm thinking that the squares in the salad was chicken and there were other squares that I'm not sure of. And the salad is not cheap- $9 and change. A Baggins Cobb (also on Stone?) is much better, not even close, and maybe $1 more. I'm sure Ikes sandwiches are good but they need to switch vendors for their salads. read more

One of, if not the best, coffee in town. Love it. Their specialty coffees even better though I rarely move away from my large plain coffee. Food is not great, but its a coffee shop and that is how I am rating it. My go to downtown coffee. Price is about what you would pay at any coffee shop. read more

I work right across the street from Ikes and only come in here about once a month. It seems that every time I come in here, there is a whole new set of staff. I think it is because this place is pretty whack. The drinks and food are overpriced and the service is really inconsistent. There is nothing about this place that screams quality or value. It is sad to say, but I would rather go to Starbucks. read more

For me, Ike's is about a drink called a Cassandra. One day I went in for a cup of coffee. The permanent menu had all the mochas and lattes listed, but then I looked at the obligatory coffeehouse chalkboard with the daily specials. It was there that I found my muse. Cassandra. A courageous innovation by its namesake barrista, a Cassandra is a creative concoction that spins the mocha up into a whole new Mexican flavored animal--with a stinger. It starts with coffee, chocolate and steamed milk, but then to that Cassandra was inspired to add cinnamon (somewhat expected) along with a bit of cayenne pepper, thus kicking it up a notch. Having lived a stint in Mexico, I've long been a fan of traditional Mexican "chocolate", but this was entirely different. Rich, sweet and warm with a zinging afterburn. The downside of Ike's Downtown? 1) Overall, the food is fine but a bit pricey for portions. 2) I'd love to sit a spell, but with no wifi, they're not going to get a second cup out of me. But don't go for the food or to stay a long time. If you're looking for a quick stop for a java fix when you're downtown, Ike's is a solid choice with lots of creative options. If you're feeling up for a coffee adventure, go for a Cassandra. Sabroso. read more

Large iced coffee. Shot of vanilla. $3.57, tip not included. Buy 10, get one free. Net cost is $3.21 per large iced coffee. It's good. They now fortify their iced coffees with Nitro, which I have to assume is just pure liquid caffeine. So thanks guys. Sorry that this review is short, I just run here, get an iced coffee, and run back to work. I don't stop in for lunch (Although you can) or get any kind of fancy coffee (Although you can). It's downtown, on the northwestern side of it, everyone's super nice, and you can buy their coffee beans for your own use. There's no Starbucks downtown, but you won't miss it with places like Ike's. read more
