“ Came here twice while in town for a week. Great coffee served fast by a friendly staff. Really like the industrial vibe and they have plenty of space to sit along with some places to plug in and charge your devices. ”
“ We stopped by for a quick drink since we had been waking around downtown Tucson all day. The atmosphere is great and would be a good place to study. Chill vibe and not a lot of folks in the afternoon. We did not eat any of the food when we were here but we did have coffee and a Chai latte which were both good. They have a good variety of coffee and tea as well a wine and other beverages. There were some chairs and benches outdoors which was nice on a warm day. ”
“ Great place to work from with some cool vintage furniture. Very laptop friendly, almost everyone is here for work to the point where I wouldnt come here to have a chat with someone. AC is very strong in summer, almost a little chilly upstairs. Good vegetarian friendly sandwiches and iced tea! Toilets are unisex. ”
“ A great, quaint coffee shop located in the heart of downtown. I stopped in for an Americano today and had a wonderful experience. The coffee was freshly and promptly prepared right in front of my. The staff was hustling but friendly. I sat upstairs, enjoyed my coffee, and watched traffic and people walking by from a 2nd story table. I would highly recommend this place if you have a moment to swing by and enjoy a nice coffee! ”

“ A fantastic spot full of rich coffee culture. Having owned a cafe in the Pacific Northwest, I can say with confidence Caffe Luce is a solid contender for the finest Cafe in Tucson. The baristas were very friendly and knowledgeable. If youre traveling and need a trusted place to spend your money on coffee, this is it! ”
“ Came here to get a midafternoon caffeine fix to get through Trail Dust Town with my toddler. Got helped by Brody. Cool, friendly guy, had some good Tucson insights and got talking about Montana and Venice Beach. Coffee was well made too. Got a cappuccino and cold brew, both made well and got us through the rest of the day. Atmosphere was quiet, college coffee shop vibes. I think it had two stories but we ordered coffees togo since we had our toddler and didnt want to disturb the other customers. Would come back when in the area again and maybe hang out in the actual coffee shop toddler free of course. ”
