Raging Sage

Raging Sage opened when I was in grad school umpteen years ago, and I swung by for the first time in at least 20 years. I don't think the place has changed a stitch. Same small, but cozy, interior, same spacious and shaded outside patio, same counter where you order beverages and pastries. You know, it was my go to back in the day, and I'm glad things haven't changed. I ordered a spicy chai, and it was exactly as I remembered it. And I ordered a pecan bar--it was always one of my favorites--again, exactly as I remembered it, I bet one of Roger's old recipes. Sometimes change is a good thing, sometimes not. I'm glad Raging Sage is the same old place I remembered.

While the service, space and experience was enjoyable, the cappuccino we ordered was terrible. The espresso tasted burnt and the milk was definitely not steamed properly and very bubbly and unappetizing. I didn't drink more than two sips before deciding to leave. I love supporting local and enjoying this local spot so my hope is that there can be an improvement as I mean the best.

Scones, scones, and more scones. Fresh out of the oven and every batch is unique. There is a large size as well as a small size of scone. These are not your typical scone. They have a very unique texture. Outstanding taste. Today I had a chocolate chip cherry. So so good. I also took home a piece of carrot cake for a friend who is a connoisseur of carrot cakes :-) I took a nibble of that cake and frosting- my taste buds were jumping for joy . The coffee was good, atmosphere was warm and cozy and you can tell this is a place that is loved by locals.

I've always loved Raging Sage. It has a cozy, local feel and a unique menu of drink options and baked goods. They usually have a at least one vegan option in the case too, which is awesome! The staff on our visit last night was super friendly. We stayed until close and they were very kind when they corralled us out. A few years ago, they raised their prices - which is totally understandable. Seems they may have raised again within that time. They have employees to pay and high quality supplies to purchase, so it's fine. But if you're someone who scoffs at high cafe prices, you might want to skip this one.

Love this little gem! Friendly service, delicious scones, great coffee- love the vibe as well. Best place in Tucson!

This is my second time here and my daughter just loves the scones as a reminder of HOME. We got here later in the afternoon this time so they were all out of the berry scones that she loves!!The scone that was available was nicely marked, "with pecans" so she knew she couldn't eat it. There were plenty of other baked goods to choose from and eye catching at that!The cafe is a nice chill setting whether you're indoors or outdoors & the staff is masked and they have water to the side with hand sanitizer if you wanted.Iced coffee is 4/5 stars Baked goods 5/5Chai Latte 5/5

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!

The staff is super helpful here. The cold brew and tea here is delicious plus the outside patio is so beautiful! I am always a fan when coffee shops use reusable containers for customers who dine in.

I came here yesterday to have a drink and do some work and was surprised by how busy it was. We did find a table though. There are tables inside and outside and about 3 of the inside tables have a padded bench on one side. The rest of the chairs in the place are hard.I don't drink caffeine and was pleasantly surprised that they had an option for me. The strawberry italian soda was really good and not too sweet.I was unable to connect to the wifi which is an important part of a coffee shop. It was really loud, so if you plan on working, bring noise cancelling headphones.

Great coffee beans!My favorite roasters in Tucson!Great espresso's!!!It's a little cramped inside but worth it.
