To be a cafe hermit requires moderate discrimination on where to park the rear-end for an extended period of time. "Is the seating ergonomic? Is the setting conducive for both work and pleasure? Is the music relaxing? Is the mud worth the price?" Fortunately, this gem of a location rings all bells quite nicely. The interior is compact, yet very tranquil, with a rustic southwestern motif. Lowly lit to foster a calm mood. The espresso machines can be rather loud, so I appreciated the ambient jazz music all the more. The drinks are neither dazzling nor underwhelming. Outside on the patio is a lovely view of the mountains-- untainted by the traffic below it. Considering the venue's smaller size, its saving grace is the fewer number of visitors who are there at any given time. Would there be more than a handful, then the charm of this soothing aesthetic would likely shift to something less than comfortable. But I find that to be typical of most Savayas. The cozy feel is what makes it appealing. The one and only bummer is that it closes so early. Hands down, this is up in the top 3 of my favorite cafes of the Tucson area. Unfortunately, there arent very many around of this caliber. That's something this city should work on, IMO.
Got 3 shots of decaf espresso over ice with a splash of oat milk and it was AMAZING!!
Excellent coffee and a nice spot with a view.
Good coffee at a good price. It would step out up a notch if they used solid cups instead of paper disposable cups. Or at least ask if you would prefer a real cup. Other than that a nice place to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee the way you ordered it.
only place i go for coffee and matcha latte when in oro valley
wanted to buy a pastrybut it was too dark to read a single label
Coffee was good but they don't have Heavy Cream. Atmosphere was nice. Definitely better than Starbucks or Dutch Bros (now that Dutch Bros stopped carrying Heavy Cream)
