A lovely café hidden in central Tucson that is charming, quiet, and offers my favorite comfort drink! Hello Cafe, located next door to a bicycle shop (sharing the same name “Hello”), is homey and airy with lots of natural light and great drinks. Arriving, I was instantly acknowledged, and the London Fog immediately caught my attention. I ordered it with oat milk and paid. What stood out to me (aside from finding a London Fog, since most cafés in Tucson don’t offer it) was that alternative milk options were available for no extra charge—a rarity anywhere.

I’ll definitely be back, and I hope you’ll pay Hello...

The service here was fantastic in that Rachel answered all of my coffee questions, suggested hikes for my day trip to Mt Lemmon with my doggos as well as fun future events in town, AND helped me pick out the perfect beans from local roasters Yellow Brick to take home. Also baby Juniper the puppy nugget was the best greeting! I had espresso with pour over and it was honestly SO good, and the vegan mochi is made in-house & I might be addicted 🙄 the flavor this month was turmeric-cardamom-ginger-clove-cinnamon-black pepper-deliciousness. This was the perfect stop before heading up the mountain and if I wasn’t set on adventure I would’ve stayed to chill on the adorable patio. ...
