Perfect location, dual drive through coffee shop with no indoor dining footprint. Future of take out! Good coffee, food is pretty good. Love the cold brew and drip coffee! Ordered a Dirty Chai and it was a little disappointing, bit too sweet as though it were made from syrup. Ordered a smoothie and it too tasted like there was sweetener added. Love their toast and snacker options, with all your typical add ins for the drinks. Our local spot for coffee!

Friendly barista, and there's something about their white chocolate mocha that I will be driving out of my way for! The blueberry muffin was soft on the inside, had a sweet sugar texture on top, and was large to boot!

Stopped by for the first time for coffee. The coffee was good. The menu lists many items, which we are going to have to come back and try. The coffee lids did not fit well on the cup. I ended up spilling hot coffee on myself. Would suggest tighter fitting lids. Would recommend as a place to try. I’ll update the review when we try the food.

I love this place! It is locally owned, and there are a few locations around Tucson. The service has always been friendly and helpful, the food is great, and best of all ... it is less expensive than Starbucks and less "bougie". You can get a 32oz cold coffee drink there, too! Perfect for a road trip or a long day ahead at work.
