Short & Sweet Comfy, art-filled café on 4th Ave, perfect for a bite, local vibes, and supporting the community. Brewing coffee and connection in Tucson’s heart. Longer Musings Café Maggie’s on 4th Ave is the kind of coffee shop that fits you like an old pair of denim—comfortable, worn-in, and ready for all the possibilities. Nestled just steps from the 4th Ave Streetcar and close to the University of Arizona, it’s got an effortless artsy vibe that just is what it’s meant to be—an authentic local spot. Inside, rotating local art fills the walls, community event flyers are tucked along the windows, and a mutual aid water station outside speaks to the café’s dedication to supporting neighbors. It’s the kind of space where chance meetings birth creative change, where ideas flow as easily as the coffee, and revolutionary conversations stoke impassioned visions for tomorrow. 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.

I have been coming here for over 10 years and it is still one of my favorite places to eat in town! I have been vegetarian and vegan and I have NEVER had my order wrong or found a random piece of chicken etc in my meal which has happened at other restaurants. Staff is friendly and recognizes regulars. They are nice when explaining dishes if you have questions and they have, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Their medium veggie curry, chana masala, and samosas are my favorite things. The only downside i have found is that this place is so good that it is hard for me to get curry anywhere else and be happy haha.

Got a gluten free bun on my mushroom burger, delicious!!

The food was delicious! They knew what was gluten free and were very helpful. It was a little more expensive for the food we did receive, and the music was way to loud. You could definitely tell it was more geared toward college students.

Absolutely incredible experience at La Indita! Friendly staff, authentic food, reasonable prices! I have celiac disease, and the staff was incredible accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. It was our first time eating at La Indita, and we will for sure be retuning in the future! My new favorite restaurant!!

The food was spectacular. Filet Beef Souvlaki was heaven. The entrance faces 4th Avenue but the building is behind a patio bar attached to a house. There is parking behind the building on 6th Street. When you find it eat there if you like Greek food. There are many gluten free options but they aren't not marked on the menu. I think it would be good advertising for those of us who have Celiac Disease.

First time visit and will be back. Had the fuku bowl without any sauce. Used the gluten free soy sauce instead. Waitstaff was super helpful and didn't even flinch when I asked for no ponzu/poke sauce so it was gluten free. My son and husband also enjoyed their food. They've been twice already. Easy parking at the Tyndall garage.

Tucson is so lucky to have Brooklyn Pizza Company. I only wish they served crustless pizza bowls for Keto and ancient grains crust for gluten-free customers. Maybe it's not too late? Mia is my favorite and such a sweetheart, rivaled here only by the Tiramisu gelato.
