The people are nice and friendly. The cashier knows how to fingerspell. Many books are available and gluten-free desserts are homemade.

How have I missed this place before now? I was looking for a centrally located cafe to meet a friend and chose it on geography alone. This is a sweet VERY independent cafe and bookstore! Adorable! They have a broad selection of books and seem to be very civic minded. We were there toward the end of the day, so there was not a huge choice in baked goods, but the coffee cake I selected was tasty and large enough to share. The books are both used and new, and although not really competitively priced, you want to support them and so you do! They also seem to host a variety of meetings, open mic nights etc. Might have to come back to check one of those!

I wasn't going to attend my monthly Camino group coffee chat this morning UNTIL I learned it was at a bookstore coffee place all in one!! I'm SO glad I went! I had a Chai that's made right here, and it was delish! When I arrived I had already eaten breakfast, so didn't try any of the treats, but will definitely be reserving that for next time! I so enjoyed browsing the new and used books, puzzles, coffee and more, and ended up leaving with some coffee from Oaxaca, and a cool puzzle! The owner was delightful, and offered to take a picture of our group! I felt right at home here, and LOVED the chairs! It's a little hidden on the side of the Sprouts shopping center, so look for it, it's worth it! Very vibey place! I'll be back!!

What a sweet little coffee shop! My friend needed some extra time to flash-clean her house before we stopped by, so we decided to make a quick stop for coffee. Bookstore PLUS coffee? Yes, please and thank you. The coffee was excellent and I really enjoyed browsing the books they offer. I think my only ME-PROBLEM that I had was that I wanted the space to be a bit cozier. Aside from that, this seems like it could be a great place to meet up with friends to play a game or have a book club. Excellent little spot.

Quite by accident I discovered this bookstore while walking Swan Road. I went in for a cup of coffee and browsed the shelves of new and used books. Good coffee, food choices available and good conversation. I even bought a puzzle here with a couple of books. Nice space to enjoy coffee, food and to read a book!

What a cool place. They have delicious coffee with lots of flavor options. And TONS of books, such a great combo. I think the coolest thing about this place is their involvement in the community. They have lots of events supporting local issues and fundraisers. I like supporting them because they're so involved. Great coffee shop.

Cozy and quiet place, definitely recommend the vegan egg and cheese bagel! Stayed here for about 1 hr since I had to leave for an appointment, but definitely would have stayed longer

Neat Coffee Shop for the whole family! Came in for a simple cup of coffee, left with some Highlights Magazines for my son, a customer appreciation card, helpful pamphlets and a smile on my face. You can sit at a table, lounge on a couch or if you're a kid be in your own corner while the parents do their adulting haha. The barrista here was very welcoming and truly enjoys working there. I will need to come back to truly lounge and try some of their menu items, for today I just grabbed a 16 Oz Cuppa Coffee with their in house creamer and a pump of vanilla.

If there's a better Books and Coffee establishment in Tucson I've found none exist! Not only the refreshingly comfortable environment which includes the exceptional baristas but also a multitude of used & new book choices. Plus locally roasted fair trade organic coffee. If you are so inclined please go partake in the vegan gluten-free homemade pastries and support living wages with no environmental devastation.

Sweet little place with vegan sweets! I think it would be neat to have some paper menus since I felt a bit awkward staring at the one next to the register (maybe there was some though that I didn't see!) I can also see them doing well with a pay it forward program. (The bottom line in detroit did this- people would pay for plain black coffees that those who couldn't afford could have some caffeine. I know around this area there's a few homeless folks and i feel like that spirit of giving would fit the communist sort of thinking?) Very laid back atmosphere, lots of books to read. I really enjoyed reading a small segment of a queer punk / queercore history book. I may get it next time. I would hope post covid to see prison letter writing meet ups and more here. It seems like it would make a really neat leftist community space. More zines would also be pretty cool, like Quimbys bookstore. There's tons of zines on leftist revolution. Overall great shop. The vegan peanut butter blondie today tasted like raw PB cookie dough w chocolate chips. I can definitely see myself coming back here. Maybe to put a few introductory crime thinc zines up at the front flyers (where I'm told you can take them- there's newspapers and such too)
