The Best Coffee Shops in Tucson, by the Record

The best coffee shops in Tucson, by the professional record: The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops, Arizona Daily Star, and Tucson Foodie have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Presta Coffee Roasters comes out on top.

Savaya Coffee Market and Le Buzz Caffe hold the next two places. Arizona Daily Star and The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops show up on more of this list than any other guide.



  1. A neighborhood café where the pastry case pulls equal weight with the coffee menu, Le Buzz sits along a stretch popular with cyclists coming off the trails, which explains the easy, unhurried vibe inside. Wooden furniture, local art on the walls, and a menu of egg dishes and house-made quiche give it a slightly European lean that Tucson has clearly adopted as its own.


  2. A tea shop on Speedway with a drive-thru and a menu that branches into something like 4,500 combinations if you're counting. The drinks lean creative and a little tropical, built around named blends like the Rainforest or the Bayou, pineapple and dark cherry meeting lime, white peach cutting through raspberry. You can get your tea as a soda, latte, chai, or snow, which covers most moods and most temperatures Tucson throws at you.
