We got pizza, salad, and beers. This place did not disappoint. Everything is fresh and delicious. If you are ever in Tucson, you must try this place.

The staff was all friendly and pleasant. The pizza slices are pretty big. We tried pep and the daily special. They were good, but the crust was a little too thin and not enough crunch for my taste. I bought some cookies too and my wife loved them.

I’m visiting Tucson for a week, and I’ve already gone to this place for lunch twice and I’m planning to go back again today. Highly recommend! I’ve only had sandwiches, but everything they sell here (cookies, pastries, pizza, salad, etc) looks so good. They have a good selection of beers, wines, and other grocery items as well. If you want a local, communal space to eat and chill when visiting Tucson, this is the place!

A fantastic little eatery placed very conveniently for a pre-night out dinner, dates or hanging out with friends. Often crowded, but has a fantastic atmosphere in the slow moments. The dishes range in price from $10-20 but the pizza by the slice is only between $4-6 with NA drinks ranging between $2-7. Cute, casual, and easy to become a regular at. The bakery is also incredible but the most popular sweets run out early (I’ve only managed to eat a chocolate croissant once). My go-to is the roast chicken and tamale sandwich or the hummus plate I would not recommend this place for shopping for groceries as they are inordinately expensive even in relation to luxury grocery stores.

The atmosphere is so cute with it being a cafe plus a grocery store. Great place to get some work done with good, fresh food. Highly recommend the matcha latte with honey and the breakfast sandwich. I also got the chocolate croissant which I found to be kind of hard.

I highly recommend coming here and trying the Margherita pizza and molasses cookies (no photo lol)! So delicious! This place does not disappoint. It does get crowded and loud. Minimal table seating inside but they do have patio seating. If going with others, I recommend getting a table first, then getting in line to place your order. Coffee bar is a great touch and smell to the space. Enjoy!

This was our son’s favorite place when he visited Tucson over holiday break. It did not disappoint! The atmosphere has a really cool vibe, specialty foods, wines. The market cafe has unbelievably delicious pizza, salads, and sandwiches.

Loved this gem! Pizza was fire, loved the aesthetic, how things flowed in the space, and the variety of all that they offered for food and drink. Stopped here for lunch before as well as dinner with a friend. Loved the size of pizza, that they tables weren't off balance, and that it was a space that has great energy.
