Curley's Coffee - A Hidden Gem in Southern Arizona…read more Tucked away along some dusty backroads and nestled in the corner of what feels like an old school building, Curley's Coffee isn't the easiest spot to stumble upon--but it's absolutely worth the effort. The journey itself adds a sense of adventure, and like all the best hidden gems, Curley's rewards the curious traveler. We stopped in on Easter Sunday, a day when most other places were closed, and were warmly welcomed with the scent of fresh coffee and baked goods. The front counter employee was bubbly and informative about their baked goods selection. We tried the maple coffee and a classic drip--both rich, smooth, and clearly brewed with care. The scone was buttery and perfectly crumbly, and the apple turnover was a standout: flaky, not overly sweet, and filled with just the right amount of spiced apples. The atmosphere is cozy, unpretentious, and full of small-town charm. Whether you're passing through or looking for a destination to seek out, Curley's Coffee is a delightful surprise in the quiet corners of southern Arizona.

Our hostess/cashier/server really can do it all, she works super hard I can't remember her name but if I could I'd include her in here, she's incredible even bringing my girlfriends purse out running to catch us before we left. I really appreciate her for that above the good service. I really liked the theming of the restaurant I'm sure that's what gets a lot of people in here. They have a small yet cool gift shop (I personally like the mugs and shirts). Over the food was a rough 7/10, about average. The onion rings were pretty good I'd recommend them (they're a little sweet). Overall I'd probably visit again if I'm in the area. Pictured below is my already eaten burger and my not yet finished fries/onion rings.

Pumps fired up without any nonsense. No card errors, no weird lag, just in and out. That alone earns points when you've been on the road for a while. Inside was better than I expected for a place this remote. Clean floors, shelves actually organized, not that picked-over, end-of-the-day look you sometimes get. Grabbed a drink, wandered for a minute, and didn't feel like I had to keep my guard up or rush out. The guy behind the counter had that easygoing, small-town vibe. We exchanged a few words, nothing deep, but it felt genuine. Not scripted, not forced. Just normal human interaction, which is weirdly refreshing when you've been bouncing from stop to stop. Bathroom was clean enough that I didn't hesitate, which is about the highest compliment I can give a gas station bathroom. Only reason I'm stopping at four stars is because, well, it's still a gas station in the desert. It's not a destination. But for where it is, it's solid across the board. If you're coming through Ajo, this is an easy, no-regret stop. I'd pull in again without a second thought.

We both chose an iced dirty chai latte. They didn't have oat milk unfortunately, but they did offer other milk alternatives. The latte was good, but didn't taste much like your traditional chai. It tasted more like a cinnamon latte and lacked the chai spice. It was still tasty, just not what I was looking for. We also enjoyed two cakes. We tried the mango and a pina colada cake. Both were yummy, not overly sweet which was refreshing. The mango was flavorful and had fresh mango slices inside surrounded by whipped cream. The pina colada had coconut shavings inside the cake, as well as on top. Definitely stop over when you are in town.

One lady in particular was extremely knowledgeable about the products and the area, and was extremely nice. It is a tourist trap and priced like it, but overall a clean one with some fun stuff. I mean, python jerky?!? We tried the date shake. It was quite tasty. We purchased dates and ended up choosing camel jerky for the kids. There was a brief moment of, "would anyone eat the tarantula if we bought it?" - NAH. We left it for future customers, along with snackable crickets and bugs. It was a fun stop in the desert and cool to see the date palms full of fruit.

One extra star because I topped off the Fuel.

We got morning bun and banana bread and they were so good, not too sweet, the morning bun was so flaky and good amount of cinnamon, my husband didn't like banana at all but he turned out really liked the banana bread. I tried their pistachio cold foam latte with half sweet, and it was so good, the cold foam was light and airy, the syrup didn't overpower the taste of coffee. I usually don't drink sweet coffee, just like original hot latte, but I love pistachio so had to tried this, and it was really good. My husband got the hot latte and it was even better. The staff was nice, there was packed in weekend so kinda busy.

They have for here cups which is something I've noticed not a lot of coffee shops around the area carry anymore so that was awesome. The Moroccan latte was a HIT. Everyone was obsessed with this one, we also added pistachio cold foam on top. For the Moroccan we asked for it to be half sweet and it was still pretty sweet so be aware that this one is for the sweet tooth. The pistachio latte was delicious as well. The lemon poppy seed matcha was really good as a matcha, meaning the matcha was delcious and easy to ddrink. Not a lot of lemon flavor in it tho but the quality was good so no complaints. Their pastry selection is lacking however, this might be because we came a little later in the day but there was not a lot of options. The lemon scone was delicous but the raspberry key lime cupcake was far too sweet. However, this was an awesome shop and I would highly recommend it.
