This coffee shop will wow you with both its excellent coffee and its design-forward decor. If you're an early bird, you'll find that Presta is a favorite stop for the local cycling community as riders come in from early morning rides. There are two Presta locations - our favorite is the larger one on 1st Ave, but the smaller Mercado San Agustin cafe is pretty sweet, too!

Great menu with beautiful, thoughtful food presentation, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere. This spot is perfect for a romantic dinner out or with a small group of friends if you want to share several plates and try several menu items.

Breakfast for dinner, but this is not a greasy spoon diner! Open 8 am - 9pm (weekdays) or until 10 pm (weekends). Accommodating menu for vegetarians/vegans/gluten-free diets and friendly on the wallet. Also love the mid-century modern decor.

Hands down the best neighborhood spot. This greasy spoon diner serves American fare breakfast and lunch at "Frank's" and then transforms into "Francisco's" Mexican cantina for dinner. Secret hint: Frank's has an early bird breakfast special M-F before 9am for $2.25!

Tiny little hot dog stand on the side of the road with incredible Sonoran hot dogs. There are a few tables under a covered tent where you can sit and eat. Open until 11pm, and has a 4.8/5 star rating out of 300 Google reviews. Yeah, it's that good.

If you are looking for a tasty hazy IPA this is your place. I visit this spot every time I’m in Tucson. They have an awesome yoga class on Sunday mornings where you can work up a sweat and enjoy a tasty pint afterwards for five dollars!

Shopping
The MSA Annex and Mercado San Agustin offer a cool, hip shopping and dining scene. In the Annex, Shipping containers-turned-stores display artsy wares, and a hip outdoor bar called 'Westbound' serves great beer at its location in the middle of the little shops. The parent space, Mercado San Agustin, has more of a food focus. The MSA area is great to wander for an hour or two.
