Liberty Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1936) • $$

"We love Gilbert and the food scene! Liberty Market has been on our list and we finally came for breakfast on 7/13/24 for my birthday. They open at 8am so we surprised to see how busy they were at 8:05am when we arrived - about 80% full inside. The hostess said that there is often a line when they unlock the door. We understand why. There's a lot to like about the Liberty Market. It's historic, the atmosphere is fun, there is inside & outside seating, the onesy bathrooms are all decorated different, everyone is so friendly and customer service oriented and the food is great!We ordered the demi-breakfast - one with pancakes, sausage and fried eggs and the other with blueberry pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs. The eggs were yummy with a nice orange yoke. We are really fussy about pancakes and these are in our top three! We liked the sausage, but loved the bacon. Our server, James was terrific and we also really enjoyed talking to one of the managers named Harry. Harry was great to give us a little historical background on Liberty Market.We plan to come back on Tuesday for my husband's birthday breakfast! The cinnamon roll looks pretty good! We may have to try them!Our"

Barista Del Barrio

★★★★★ 4.8 (648) • $$

"Not sure how I feel about this place anymore. THEY DON'T SHOW PRICES ANYWHERE, why? Please post prices on the website or something. Also, I had about 5 drinks of my 20oz coffee because it's all ice. I'm all about supporting local businesses, and I get inflation, but I feel a little cheated."

Maynards

★★★★☆ 3.9 (729) • $$

"Good food as always but something has changed as the food looked and tasted different today and we've been here many times. Has the chef changed maybe? New owner? Anyway, still good ambiance and good service."

Teaspoon

★★★★☆ 4 (676) • $$

"Teaspoon is one of my favorite spots to go for breakfast. It's worth the wait everytime. I went twice over the last week and Tyler was my server the first time and Benni was my server the second time. Both these gentleman were amazing, professional, and knowledgeable about the menu. I went to have drinks and Benni gave great recommendations on the cocktail menu. Tyler was great with espresso upsells - the red eye was great! Add avocado to the crab cake bene - Tyler insisted and he was right!It's an nice restaurant with a lot of light and the option to sit in or outside and at the bar. Would definitely recommend from anything from a date to a quick bite solo. I'll definitely be back for bottomless mimosas!Egg parfait, breakfast pizza, herb French toast, crab cake bene, and bubble waffle are my recommendations!"

Cafe A La Cart

★★★★★ 4.5 (509) • $$

"Cafe A La Cart has always been a longtime favorite of ours, but we recently hosted an event here and the staff, food, ambiance, and service just really blew us away. We hosted my sister's bridal shower at Cafe A La Cart this last weekend and it was quite literally the most perfect event space. The long foyer, multiple rooms, spacious main room, dynamic bar, and stunning patio were easy to set up in and loved by our guests. Hanna, the event coordinator was extremely helpful and attentive, as was her staff. The entire Cafe A La Cart team made us feel heard and executed our vision perfectly. The food served was delicious - we had turkey burger sliders, potato wedges and salad - our guests delighted in the food. We also had a "mimosa bar", with several flavored mimosas, as well as tea, lemonade, water and coffee. The bridal shower was an absolute dream, and our guests were beyond impressed. Thank you Mark + staff - we cannot wait to come back!"

Le Buzz

★★★★☆ 4.4 (396) • $$

"There definitely seems to be a lot of buzz going around at Le Buzz! We got here around 9:30 and it was already packed with a long line. We were in a little bit of a time crunch so we decided to get our breakfast items to go. We had a Buzz breakfast burrito, green chile cheddar scone and I had a vanilla cardamom latte. It took a few minutes to make and everything was securely packaged. The cheddar scone was really one of the best scones I've had in a while. It had a moist crumb yet had a delightful crunch to the outside. It had a mild amount of heat and I could definitely taste the cheddar and chile. The burrito was a hefty size, griddled to a light brown, and was filled with plenty of egg, bacon, pico de gallo, and home fries. It was served with a small container of tomatillo salsa. I wasn't that big of a fan of the vanilla cardamom latte. I couldn't taste much vanilla or cardamom and the coffee tasted just OK. I got the small size and I probably wouldn't spend around $5 on this in the future.There's an outdoor patio in addition to indoor seating. The outdoor patio looked like there were heaters for it during the winter which is definitely a nice touch. Details:- In the Safeway plaza- Cage free eggs used- Breakfast and lunch served- Breakfast served all day- Keto options available- Mary's free-range chicken & Beeler's no nitrates ham served- Extra surcharge for alternative milks- Dairy milks offered: Whole and skim"

The Bistro Queen Creek

★★★★☆ 4.1 (413) • $$

"One of my favorite local QC spots. Amazing paninis and such a good Caesar dressing. Everything on the menu is good. The patio is so nice when the weather's good."

Caffe Luce

★★★★☆ 4.2 (372) • $

"Stopped in for coffee. Counter service. Super friendly guy. Delicious coffee, reasonably priced. They must sell sandwiches or something here, because it smelled amazing in there... not coffee, it was garlic or something. I'm sure their food is really good too. Comfortable seating. Glad we stopped."

Frost Gelato

★★★★☆ 4.4 (298) • $

"Frost is easily my favorite gelato place. All the flavors are outstanding. I always go for the lemon because it's not like your typical gelato place. At most gelato shop the fruit flavors are hard but here they have a creamier texture. They will give you all the samples you want so try everything and find your favorite. You won't be disappointed!!"

Raging Sage

★★★★☆ 3.8 (399) • $$

"I love Raging Sage. The inside is cozy and cute, and the shaded garden outside is lovely when the weather is nice (aka cooler). It's a great place to meet a friend or have a casual business meeting.I've received great customer service from everyone, but I especially appreciate Tammy. I almost always get a hot decaf oat milk vanilla latte accompanied by some delicious baked good from the case. One of my favorites is the pumpkin bread, though I really have enjoyed everything I have tried. This is a regular stop for me and, if I lived closer, I'd likely be here every day. Do support a great, local coffee shop!"

Passion Pie Cafe

"We had such a wonderful breakfast here! The quiche was delightful and the granola was a spectacular. We will be back the next time we visit TorC."

NI HAO TEA

★★★★★ 4.6 (267) • $$

"This is one of my go-to boba spots. They have many flavors and toppings to choose from but I love the Jasmine Milk Tea best. Their online ordering system it top-notch. Many times I order en route and as soon as I arrive my order is ready to go. They also support veterans. I was able to get a free drink on Veterans Day! That means a lot!"

Frost Gelato

★★★★☆ 4.3 (279) • $

"Great staff, gelato and service. You really can't go wrong here, absolutely phenomenal in every aspect of the word. When visiting Arizona, seek out your local Frost. There's no better way to cool down on a hot summer day than a cup of their deliciousness."

Black Crown Coffee Co.

★★★★☆ 4.3 (253) • $$

"I LOVE coffee and the iced Black widow I had was so delicious. The inside was super cool and seems to be a great place for young adults to hangout in. The service was good. The gentleman was nice. I don't live in Tucson but when I go back I will swing in again, even though parking is a huge pain."

HeeMee Coffee + Bakery

★★★★★ 4.6 (164) • $$

"With seeing their instagram photos and people's reviews on this place, I've been wanting to go so bad but I just hate driving in tucson, especially downtown. But my sister was here and so I finally took her and we came here. I ordered their breakfast sandwich, it was pretty good. And i ordered their special Chocolate covered strawberry latte. To my surprise, it wasnt that bad. It was a lot better than dutch bros same name latte and prettier, lolz my sister got their passion fruit ade cause they didnt have the dubai chocolate latte. I also ordered their chocolate croissant and to my disappointment, it wasnt as good as i had hope. I was hoping it was more light and airy but it was a lot bread. so that deducts the 1 star. I want to go get their strawberry one tho and try that. I just hate downtown parking. I also want to try their korean fried chicken."

Alvernon Donut Shop

"I haven't been here in over 5 years. I thought I'd written a review then and was going to update it today.I purchased a half dozen donuts from them about an hour ago because I remembered them being amazing.THEY ARE!They're as light, airy, and delicious as I remembered them being!Another review mentioned the cost being a bit higher than other donuts shops. This is true, but they're made fresh in-house daily and the quality is very high. I'll pay a bit extra for that any day!Highly recommend !"

L' Grande Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (160) • $

"I had eaten breakfast here before. Great coffee and biscuits and gravy. I never ate lunch or dinner here. I went in on Friday evening around 7. A young, knowledgeable lady working the front greeted me. She reminded me they serve breakfast all day. It was hard not to order the biscuits and gravy. LOL. I ordered a gyro and a bag of chips to go. I was not disappointed. I was quite pleased with the taste, size, and appearance of my gyro. It was delicious Go try this, Gem. Not just for breakfast anymore. Give this place a try. You will not be disappointed."

Wow Wow Lemonade Oro Valley

★★★★★ 4.8 (115) • $$

"As stated by my 15 year old expert in Acai cuisine, this place is fantastic. They handled substitutions perfectly and the service was helpful. Kahuna Koffee smoothie was rich and nutty. The Blue Hawaii bowl with spirulina was delicious."

Laverna's Coffee Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (172) • $$

"On the recommendation of a friend, we came here for breakfast to this unassuming little cafe serving up diner style food. It did not disappoint. Incredibly friendly and welcoming we sat down and were immediately taken care of. I have to say right off the bat the service was fantastic. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros, after consulting with the table next to us who had ordered it and were apparent regulars. We also ordered the Blueberry pancake (HUGE!) and a half order of the biscuits and gravy which my friend had raved about. The food came out made to order, hot and delicious. My husband who is super picky about Huevos Rancheros loved them. My Blueberry pancake was so big I could only eat half of it, so the other half came home with me. The biscuits and gravy were absolutely wonderful. How I have never been here, or even heard about Laverna's is beyond me."

K Donut Wheel

★★★★☆ 4.4 (131) • $

"You can read my review of their old account when they were on Kolb before the landlord decided to get rid of them and put in....a Starbucks. Yeah, we don't have enough Starbucks around here.First of all, in the column of sample reviews to my right, someone says that "they have cut the donuts in half the size they used to be." Blatantly incorrect. They are the same size as they used to be. All still the same heavenly goodness they have been."K" is her name, the owner. What a nice new shop they have. Brightly lit, more tables, more room, more room for them behind the counter, larger display cases.Now about their donuts--these ARE the best in Tucson, period. Change my mind. I've had everybody's donuts in Tucson. These are the best. There are several that are a close second. But none that match these delectable beauties.Their glazed donuts are so light and fluffy, melt-in-your mouth. Krispy Kremes dream of being this good. The Boston Cremes are a delight. Everyone that I have given one two immediately goes "Mmmmm...." on their first bite. The chocolate and maple long johns, emphasis on "long," are so good. I am not an apple fritter fan--except for theirs.Let's not forget their croissants. Their breakfast croissant is to die for. The ham and cheese croissant--yum! The pastry is SO flaky. And it is BIG.Sometimes it takes a little long to get your order filled. Here's why: * They are popular and have a line in the store and in the drive-thru. * It might be one of those shifts where Kay could not hire enough help and it's just her or just her and another employee.It's worth the wait.It is totally "mind-blowing good":5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money.4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements 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, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. 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* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!"

Decibel Coffee Works

★★★★★ 4.5 (104) • $

"Let's turn the decibel all the way up because this coffee spot will give you that lighting jolt that you will need to get your day started. And that is what we did 3 mornings in a row while visiting Tucson from New Jersey. I was first introduced to the Golden Chai by a Yelper in L.A. Since then I have always been on the lookout for this drink. I was so excited to see it on the menu. Made with Chai Tea spices, turmeric, natural honey, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves, I love the spicy kick it gives you at the back of the throat. It also has lots of health benefits so all the more reason to order this yummy latte. And that's not the best part, their sweet and savory scones are frickin yummy. Took me one second to choose their Garden Veggie Cream Cheese one. Me: baby, do you want any scones?Son: no, just coffee for me.He ended up eating 3/4 of the scone. But that's okay because I kept getting it every time I came back. Also got to try their Blueberry Earl Grey scone and it was loaded with blueberries. Just the way I like it.Lots of cool outdoor seating. I dig the industrial decor. There are a few eating joints around as well but they seem to open much later in the day. Friendly service."

Caffé Lucé

"Second time here, the coffee is delicious and great customer service. This time I ordered the Azteca Mocha which is chocolate with cinnamon, Nutmeg. Very delicious not sweet at all just perfect. The barrista was really nice and did a design on my coffee which is what I enjoy the most "pretty coffee". Highly recommend paid about $4.50 for a 12 oz"

Kabul Corner

★★★★★ 4.8 (77) • $$

"What a wonderful, locally owned, quaint little restaurant and market... with the friendliest, kind, and hard working owners and servers -- when I walked in for my first visit they treated me like an old friend! It may be useful for first-timers to know that this is indeed a little market & restaurant that's focused on very high quality food at very fair prices... it's by no means a formal or even semi-formal dining experience -- just a simple market ambiance with great people and fabulous food.I ordered a couple of entrees for take-out and it's true -- the portions are enormous(!!!), one could easily make two or maybe even three meals from the kebabs alone. I ordered one chicken and one teka (lamb) kebab and they were cooked and seasoned perfectly -- large tender pieces of chicken and lamb, melted in my mouth, small sides of sliced tomato and cucumber were fresh, ripe, and flavorful (it's more of a side to cleanse your pallet than it is a small salad, as a few other reviews have complained about). It's the kind of yummy goodness that you just want to keep eating even though you were full ten minutes ago! As for the market, it too is small but there are some excellent bagged spices that are much cheaper than you'd pay at a regular grocery store, and a nice selection of big bags of rice, steamers, tea pots, etc.If you like baklava, don't pass it up!Highly recommended and I plan on being a regular!"

Lucky’s Boba Tea

Pura Vida Grinds

★★★★★ 4.8 (62)

"Enjoyed my caramel macchiato from Pura Vida Grinds! The perfect coffee and milk ratio. Just the right sweetness. I requested to cut the sweetness in half and it was perfect. The place itself was busy for a Sunday morning. They offer food and coffee beans and a great variety of merch. The store itself is a bit small especially when it's busy. We sat outside on the patio. Regardless, I'd come back again and maybe pick up some coffee beans."
