Great tasting baked goods. Staff is very friendly and gave multiple recommendations. My kids enjoyed it. Very quiet and good for studying or cute coffee date as well.

Total vibes. Café Lucce is one of those downtown spots you wander into once and immediately know you’re coming back. The star of my visit? Their banana vegan loaf — unbelievably soft, perfectly sweet, and honestly worth a return trip all on its own. The whole place has this cozy-chic energy, and their upstairs little cove is the dreamiest hidden nook to sit, sip, and snack. Already planning my next visit.

I’ve been here a few times now! Great for catching up with friends or sitting down to study! The iced blended espresso was great and tap beer was good !

This is my favorite café spot in all of Tucson❤️. I find myself here at least once a week. My go-to order is the dirty chai, which they always make just perfectly - smooth and balanced. The muffins are really good too! The music is always calm and chill, played at just the right volume, and there’s a gentle breeze from the giant fan ( a nice addition to the AC) that adds to the comfort, a welcome escape from the Tucson heat🌵☀️. On weekdays, there’s usually little to no wait, and even on weekends or in the evenings, the service is very quick. Every barista I’ve met has been very friendly too. Whether you’re working, journaling, catching up with a friend, or just want to people-watch across the street😅, you’ll find the perfect spot to settle in at Caffè Luce. I’m just hoping they start a loyalty program by the time I begin writing my dissertation 🫣.

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 you're traveling and need a trusted place to spend your money on coffee, this is it!
