Coronet Cafe - Tucson, Arizona

A precious patio dining experience. The food is delicious and some of the best I’ve had in Tucson. Staff is lovely.
But here’s why I give it 4 stars: I’m not someone who thinks large portions are the mark of a good restaurant, but I was quite shocked at the “bowl” of soup’s diminutive portion for $10. I thought it was a mistake.

The suggested tip (for counter service) at checkout is 25% minimum - calculated *after* tax (which I really recoil about because it should be before tax) - made this 8oz of soup NYC priced.

I think after numerous unsuccessful attempts to eat here after 2pm, I finally understand the complexity of their offers. Google isn’t updated with this info and even their website is incomplete.

So here’s the rundown:

No food 2-3. Light bites 3-5. Regular cafe menu 5-9. Drinks available all the time.

This s is the best breakfast place we have tried in Tucson. We found it by chance and were instantly impressed with the courtyard (with heaters) and outdoor seating. The grounds are stunning. The menu is fresh and delicious. The coffee- we had a cappuccino- yum- delicious!! As we were finishing up our breakfast (we got there at 8 ish), it was packed….take notes Abby get there early if you can! There is also an evening menu that includes wine… we will be back to experience that. We had the waffle with a side of bacon…. The drizzle on the waffle was to die for! Also has the eggy breakfast- I love poached eggs and am picky. Zero complaints! Eggs are perfect, bacon and potatoes were delicious and the marmalade tasted like heaven!!! We can’t believe it took us so long to find this place!!! Highly recommend!

Very cool downtown cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, great coffee, and inventive meals.
Been both in the summer and winter and the experience was enjoyable each time. Friendly service and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

This charming breakfast brunch cafe is a delightful weekend retreat, offering a serene garden seating that’s perfect for unwinding after a busy week. The venue skillfully blends the ambience of a restaurant, cafe, and night bar. While the food is decent—though the Benedict eggs fell short of the ideal yolkiness—the apple cinnamon upside-down cake was a standout treat. The real draw here, however, is the inviting atmosphere, making it an excellent spot for gatherings with friends or a cozy date. I’m eager to return for the vibe alone.

Wonderful spot with a variety of seating indoors and outdoors.
I got the waffles, a mocha, and a chai. All were delicious. The mocha had a nice spice to it that reminded me of Mexican hot chocolate.

Welcoming cafe in the heart of downtown. Walked here from the DoubleTree to find beautifully plated food and latte!! Kind staff and even a little boutique with unique gifts. Love this place!

Needed a late night snack and the carrot ginger soup & fries were absolutely perfect! Dreamy little date night spot that I know would be so pretty in the daytime too. Tons of lovely outdoor seating but we opted to sit in one of the booths inside since it was a little chilly out. Vintage vibes, loved all the decor. Food was fresh and delicious- would have liked to try a coffee if it wasn’t 9pm but definitely would come again!

Great atmosphere, the building provides modern accommodations delicately integrated into a historic row house from the 1860s. Dinner was an absolute experience with small plates (Angus Beed Tartar, Chermoula Roasted Cabbage) and large sharable plates (Seared Salmon with Blistered Shististos) that activated every tastebud, as different flavors danced in your mouth. The mixology was on point as well, I recommend the Cascada and The Coronado.
