You’ll find me here on sunny afternoons with my favorite drink, an extra dirty hot chai latte- perfection! ☕️ 🥧 Their menu has something for everyone, whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, have restrictions, or simply curious. Today I had the avocado toast and was pleasantly surprised to find they kept it simple and let the flavors speak for themselves! Not sure what to order? Just ask—the staff is as welcoming as the space itself. With seating inside and out, nearby metered parking, and convenient options to pay with cash, card, or tap, Café Maggie’s makes grabbing a coffee or meal here easy. And don’t miss the people-watching! Located near the University and in the heart of historic 4th Ave, it’s perfect for a quick escape, gathering with friends, or just being in the moment.

What an absolute gem of a place! I was able to get gluten free options and the employees could help with questions about that. I got the cheesy potatoes with bacon and it was absolutely the best cheesy potatoes I've ever had! So well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Also, the triple berry scone was gluten free as well and was THE best GF scone I've tasted, I was blown away by it and so was my non-GF husband! The atmosphere was really calm and the employees were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stop here again on a return trip to Tucson!

The cafe was wonderful! Excellent service from the kind server; the food was excellent, quickly prepared, and the iced peanut butter mocha coffee was bomb! They have oat milk! The Maggie's potatoes with bacon were indulgent and absolutely 🔥! I never expected such a 😍 dish! Colorful, flavorful, and filling! Word of caution, if you're one of the 14% of humans who hate cilantro because of a genetic mutation, please tell your server when you order. I LOVE cilantro, and it was everywhere 😜. Also, the Wi-Fi works, and I'm gluten intolerant and was able to enjoy a varied menu and excellent coffee there.
