"I really wanted to like this place, but it just wasn't for me. I'm still learning my way around Tucson, and I didn't realize it was Downtown and I would have to pay for parking. The parking took a lot of my time, and I was already racing a clock. I took my food to go, but ran out of time and had to eat my lunch later in the day. The salad didn't hold up well on those couple hours. I'm really not sure what the goopy topping was, but it was pretty gross and I ended up throwing the salad away after a few bites. I just couldn't eat it. I think that's probably the first meal I've had to throw away. I will usually eat my food even if I don't love it. I'll assume this is better when fresh, but I still don't think I'll go back.Vegetarian options: The entire menu is vegan."

"This is my absolute favorite place on University. The interior is beautiful, the atmosphere is cozy, service is great, and the teas are delicious. I love stopping by to just get a tea and go, but staying in to study is also one of the best things to do here. It's so easy to focus on my work with a nice cup of tea and forget about the world in this shop. I've made it a goal to try a new tea every day, but my personal favorites so far are the House Black and Raspberry Rose. Just don't get carried away and drink too much! This is probably the only place where I've liked the drinks so much that I made myself sick by having too many . The refill system is too good to resist. The first is paid (at a lower price than the original drink), and the second refill is free. So you can have three drinks for what I'm pretty sure would be just one at a different shop. I visited so many times at this point that I actually ended up buying a reusable cup for yet another discount. My only complaint is that the snack options aren't very good, but for their drink quality and the wonderful attitude the baristas have, it's not a big issue for me. If I'm staying, it's to study, and I've usually already eaten at one of the dozens of places nearby since it's in a really good area. If you're in the area or starting school, make sure to stop by here, you won't regret it."

"I’ve been to Tumerico many times and every visit it blows me away. The food is traditional and all whole food plant based. Their menu is a on a chalkboard but typically stays pretty similar. I usually get their ropa vieja plate without tortillas. This time I got the plate but only with the Cuban jackfruit so I removed the mushrooms and peppers. (The jackfruit here is truly the best I’ve ever had Whatever you get, you have to get it with “all powers”. It makes the meal. You won’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. Truly a gem and I wish we had one in Phoenix."

"Now this isn't the first time I've been and every time I've gone I have had a wonderful experience so this is strictly speaking for my dinner with a friend on Sunday night. Service was wonderful.... we were given water's and drink orders were taken right away. We weren't rushed and were given time to peruse the menu and finally decided on a appetizers of baba ganoush and the Sonoran Meat Cheese plate to start. Both were a visual pleasure, quite yummy and honestly could have been enough food to satisfy both of us had we not also ordered entrees. My friend got the Buttermilk Fried Chicken with the watermelon jalapeno macaroni salad. Originally thinking he was going to be taking some of it home after those appetizers. In the end he had no problem finishing... remarking on how spicy and good it was. I went with the salmon salad which was quite Simply Delicious. Greens, beets, feta i believe, salmon which was cooked perfectly with a watermelon vinaigrette if I recall ........I ate all of it and I have no regrets. To finish.......delishish food, friendly service and great atmosphere perfect for a night out with friends or date night. I highly recommend checking them out.....you won't regret it."

"The Cup Café now serves Beyond Burgers! It is vegetarian the way it is presented on the menu but a quick swap of the bread (sourdough for the brioche bun) and it is vegan. Comes with choice of side French fries are hand cut from fresh potatoes EVERY. DAMN. DAY. or you can order it with the house soup Tortilla Soup which is vegan if you ask for no cheese. Another awesome vegan option is the Lettuce Wraps chickpea fritters with pickled veggies and harrisa sauce topped with toasted cashews in butter lettuce wraps spicy, sweet, crispy, delicious! No need to modify they are vegan as prepared. Other great vegan options are the tofu scramble, sonoran sopes (with vegan sour cream), and the barrio bread (swap the butter and pesto for extra rosemary infused olive oil)."
