Crave Coffee Bar

Crave has the rare trait of having both an excellent coffee culture, with well trained staff and consistently excellent drinks AND a vibrant coffee-house culture, where friends and acquaintances meet over daily or weekly hospitality rituals.

A true adherence to the ancient roots (Arabic?) of coffee and it’s almost spiritual properties keeps us coming back whenever we visit Tucson from the Pacific Northwest where we have a great coffee culture, but the fast-pace and capitalism-focused latte-sippers don’t sit and savor long enough for a proper coffeehouse experience.

Crave has carved out a unique quality experience and environment with its handcrafted furnishings and North passive lighting.

A diverse and solid crowd on weekends and a diverse set of regulars weekdays make each event rich.

I seldom grab my coffee out but when I do the only place I head to is Crave Coffee Bar. Its sorta like sitting in Casco Viejo in Panama. OK that might be a stretch but when I walk in I do sorta feel my cares go away. It has some creative design ideas that is for sure. I like the Cactus table that reaches the sky, the simple pine strips used as detail. It smell like the old city and is hustling and bustling with creatives. If it be a London Fog or a simple Espresso that grind and steep is flawless.

This place is amazing I loved my caramel latte was just perfect and a good price! People are feeling relaxed and I see a lot homemade desserts also! Those people are working hard and they deserve a 5 star I really enjoy my time here!

It was a really nice looking space! The employees are good at what they do. Loved the smiley face in the coffee. The pumpkin bread was delicious too.

A popular coffee, snack, and brunch spot. Clean, well lit, and friendly. Coffee drinks are flavorful and well priced. They offer beer as well but i have to admit this isnt my first choice for a brew.

Had a wonderful experience early this evening at your delightful cafe❤️ Your staff is wonderful! Ordered an ice coffee & it was sooo good. One of your team members told me that the pastries were made by the owner. One look at them & ordered several to share with friends.

The taste was perfect and not so sugary. Carefully made with ❤️. Posted my experience and you have some of my friends coming in to get turned on to the Crave experience.

I come here at least twice a week every week! It is by far the best cafe I’ve ever been to. The ambiance is great, the coffee is so delicious, and the cheesecake & tiramisu are incredible. Highly highly recommend!

Friendly relaxed coffee bar. An old friend and I visited and caught up over decadent food to include a spinach crosta and we sampled some of their sweeter fare as well. Pumpkin bread and turamisu to go with hot, dirty chais.
Another awesome thing about this small business is they support the local art scene by showcasing artists. If you haven't been here what are you waiting for?

Place is dirty, counters, floor, even the barista workstation is just covered in coffee.
Place looks dim but it’s just all the dirt, white bathroom door is grey now.
Espresso was dry and chalky so much so that even milk couldn’t help.
Wouldn’t come back.

Food and coffee is really well priced and is decent quality, (I’d recommend the new york cheesecake) Its a great place to study for anyone and makes sure to accommodate most seating with outlets. Staff in the afternoon is always great as well.
