Coffee times has been my go to coffee place since I was 14. They still have the best drinks 13 years later. I have gotten a frappe, a latte, tea, and today I got a Matcha latte with sugar-free vanilla and I am always impressed and satisfied. I am disappointed in Dunkin’ Donuts for opening up next-door to them and I hope coffee times puts that Dunkin out of business. I moved out of Arizona three years ago, I have been back 10 times to visit family and every time I go to coffee times.

I really enjoyed trying their coffee. I got the eggnog cold brew. I've never had something like that, and I really enjoyed it. It's not my favorite coffee as I have had better, but for the price and the customer service, I would come here again. This is a fun little place to stop by when you are in need of coffee. 8/10, I would recommend trying this place for yourself and enjoying the experience.

I finally got a chance to try this place! I ordered a green chili turn over, what i believe is a zucchini muffin, and an iced 16oz honey/vanilla latte. The food was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend the green chili turn over, it's seriously so good. The latte was everything I hoped for! I really enjoy the taste of their espresso. Brandi was the lovely barista to help me today. She made my first time there super enjoyable and I look forward to coming back! This is a small family owned establishment. It may not look like much when you first pull in, but don't let that fool you. With a Dunkin Donuts RIGHT next door, you'd be a fool to choose Dunkin over Coffee Times.

We have bought coffee here. We bought smoothies. We bought pastries. We bought vegan pastries (and we are not vegan). Every single thing has been delicious. Honestly, great work guys.

I have been to coffee times dozens of times since 2020 and have never had a bad experience. The staff is kind and helpful and the line is never too long even when they're packed. I love their CBD cold brew, iced teas, and caramel macchiatos. They have an amazing local pastry selection and the seasonal drinks are always fun, too.

After always seeing this place on social media and even driving by, I was so excited to finally give it a try. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. :( The service was friendly and quick though! It's a drive thru only coffee shop so keep that in mind! I was excited to try a limited time drink, the Wookie Cookie Frappe but it was extremely bland and tasted more like a milkshake, no coffee or cookie butter taste! I also ordered a Strawberry Banana smoothie and it wasn't anything spectacular. I also thought it was a little pricy, especially for the small. Although my experience wasn't the best, I will be back soon! I haven't given up hope that this place is good. Maybe next time I'll try something a little more basic but classic, because they have a lot on the menu (which I love).

The staff are so friendly and will make you anything you want. They care about the little details for your drink and don't charge you a kidney for it! They also partner with local shops for pastries and snacks and they are delicious. I got an iced Americano with salted Carmel and cream and it was heavenly. Tip, if the drive through lines are long, you can park and walk up to their window in the front.

Super impressed! I love supporting local businesses and the coffee is great too. I was really impressed with the variety for such a small building. I've tried the white mocha and salted honey iced lattes so far and they were amazing. I wasn't sure what to try the second time and the lady working drive thru was super nice and helpful. No seating, drive thru only but I love that because I'm never sitting down to drink a cup of coffee leisurely.

The drive through line moved quickly for a Saturday morning. I had to try the Chinese Chorizo turnovers. They were flaky, crispy and had a good amount of chorizo. It was delicious. I also had the lavender latte and it was smooth with a hint of lavender. Great service and friendly staff.

Best coffee in town! Authentic coffee, great people! Great options for pastries. Consistency is key, they have so many options. Definitely recommend as a staple for morning coffee.

Overall enjoyed my experience even though it was a drive through. I was recommended, for a smoothie, the Cacao one. It did not disappoint. Had dark chocolate. Cocoa, almond milk, banana, pea protein, one shot (but i got two!). Was delicious and provided an energy boost. I would be back l for their lattes or coffee if in the area again. Friendly staff. Ambiance was outside, but you could order in person in the front as well. Very well run and efficient.

I am going to preface my review by saying I rarely go to coffee shops, I'm not a big coffee drinker but I enjoy a little bit in the morning. I normally make my coffee at home, but unfortunately I ran out. Anyway, when I'm trying a new coffee place I always order black coffee to see what the base is. Is it rich? Is it watery? Is it acidic? I want to tell the quality of their coffee without all the cream and sugar added. I will not go back to a coffee shop if they have a weak or watery black coffee. Obviously from my five star review, their black coffee is delicious! It is super flavorful: rich, dark, bold, absolutely scrumptious. I can see why they have such good reviews, and long lines. If I'm ever in the need of coffee, this will definitely be my go to spot now.

It's 2025 and this coffee stand is still here! This is the best coffee stand I've ever visited. Please, never change! We always visit every time we are in Tucson. We drive over an hour round trip just to get it. The white chocolate frappe is so refreshing. I ask for half the chocolate so that it is less sweet, but it still has good flavor. My husband recognized the barista and thinks it's the same guy that was here back in 2014 era. This is my favorite coffee place in the world, and I live in Seattle now so there's also tons of coffee places here as well, just nothing as good as Coffee Times. I hope this coffee stand will stand the test of time and never change its recipes. I love Coffee Times!

I want to say thank you to Coffee Times for a few things. Since I've moved here from Alaska I've really been missing small drive through coffee huts, it's just so much better than those big chains! When I found Coffee Times it was like heaven. I've only been able to stop by a few times with my busy schedule, but each time it's made my day so much better. Everyone is so friendly there and very skilled at what they do! I also want to thank the wonderful people who helped me today. I know mistakes happen so that's why I felt bad coming back. My coffee was made wrong, but when I did come back they were more than happy to help me and make it right. So my anxiety thanks you lol! I'll definitely come back many times over for my favorite coffee!

What can I say? I will drive across town to get coffee here instead of the corner chain. Like so many others I keep the faith knowing whatever I get will be consistently good from the regular lineup of coffee, Frappuccinos, and mochas, to the protein smoothies and blends. Plus, when I'm achy from yesterday's workout, I can get a shot of CBD in my blend so I can enjoy my morning pain free and mildly relaxed. If you want to support local, try Coffee Times even if you need to wait in line, it goes fast and worth it, or just walk up to the front window to order! Five Stars, highly recommend.

Solid vanilla latte where you can taste the kick of the espresso coupled with vanilla hints to not overpower the latte. Friendly staff. Puppers friendly- and my grandfur loved her pup cup and would have wanted to try my latte if I wasn't such a meanie by not allowing her. When the staff show so much love and the coffee is good... it makes a rainy day so bright!

I don't know how or why I've been sleeping on Coffee Times for soooo long. This little place is fantastic. I am a black coffee/espresso drinker. The only thing I'm willing to add to my coffee is some packets of sugar-free sweetener, but it's not necessary. That said, because of the big box training to want overly sugary and overly watered down coffee with a variety of dairy or dairy-free milks, my experience is that the base coffee and espresso products are very lackluster. But not at Coffee Times! Both the coffee and espresso were fresh, smooth, and rich in flavor. I absolutely love the Americano they make! It's a strikingly good flavor. They also have all the standard lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, etc and I'm sure they're more carefully and delicately prepared as to make the cup a good coffee experience first and foremost. They have lots of size options, and their prices are super reasonable. They have some of the most amazing pastries and treats sourced from experts around the city. Absolutely wonderfully curated selection of pastries! The service was very friendly and very helpful. The drive thru in the mid afternoon wasn't hectic at all, but I have seen some long lines in the mornings wrap around the little coffee building. My only complaint is that they don't have sugar-free sweetener packets, only sugar-free flavored syrups. I'm not looking to flavor my drink, just add a touch of sweet to it.

I can't say enough good things about Coffee Times. Seriously the best coffee shop in Tucson! They're a local business, delicious coffee, fresh smoothies, and fair prices! They treat their employees well, and it shows in their customer service! They also offer Houlden's Rise Above Vegan pastries that are TO DIE FOR. The duel drive-thru layout means you never wait too long and they usually have someone out taking orders from the car during busy times. Keep an eye out on the specials board for a rockin' deal! And follow them on social media to see what they have going on as far as community involvement!

I would love to give this place a 5 stars because the coffee is good but the wait is simply not worth it, and its every time. I don't come on a regular basis, at least 2 times a month and I always wait but today I could not. I was in line for over 7 minutes and the line never moved once. I would've loved to spend my money there, unfortunately, I went to Dunkin next door.

Nice little drive through/walk up coffee stop in midtown Tucson. I loved that they had a variety of sizes and offered everything as iced or hot. They also have a selection of fruit smoothies and other beverage items. Not the best customer service, but it's a drive through so understandable.

This is my favorite coffee place in Tucson! The staff is amazing and the drinks are always a perfect balance of flavors!

Go-to coffee spot in Tuscon! It's hard not to pop in for a pick-me-up anytime I'm driving by. They have a fabulous selection of milk alternatives (oat, coconut, almond, soy) and exclusively use recycled/compostable materials for cups/lids/straws. Posted signs remind costumers that they require facial coverings to place an order. Employees all wear facial coverings and use gloves when preparing orders. Happy this place is still open and going strong through Covid! They make it easy to want to support local business.

Just tried this place for the first time this morning OMG BEST SCONES IN TUCSON! I had the Blueberry Scone and it was amazing, I forgot to take a photo and I ate it all because it was just SO GOOD !! I got the strawberry banana smoothie And the tropical mango smoothie I am very impressed by how FRESH and flavorful everything was. This is one amazing place in tucson everyone should support Service was great by the window as well First time and it won't be my last! I will be back :)

Great pit stop for smoothies, tea, coffee, baked goods, wraps & more if you've got time on your way to work/on a lunch break. Prices are reasonable & staff are great. I only got a smoothie when I checked them out but will be back to check out their baked goods/ lunch opts. They've also got vegan goodies & CBD drinks for those interested. As a fyi, this place gets pretty popular around breakfast (~8am) & lunch time. The intersection is also a fairly busy one (speedway) so getting out of the lot may be a bit of a wait as well.

Yelp
Definitely best coffee in town! I always get an iced oat milk latte with honey & cinnamon. It never disappoints I like that they have 2 drive through windows and a window you can walk up to. It's definitely necessary because it gets busy!! The only negative thing I'd say is there is one lady that always has an attitude and can make the trip there a tad bit unpleasant.. but all in all, a 10/10!

This is a local gem! A large chain recently opened next door, and I'm so glad Coffee Times continues to be busy. The cold brew is delish and they have multiple plant based milk options to add. This time, I tried the banana chocolate smoothie - definitely sweet, but SO delish. They now also have Bubbe's bagels to snack on.

The coffee & service was excellent. I ordered a salted caramel iced latte which the barista suggested. It was sooooo delicious i highly recommend it. I was so shocked how fast the drive thru line was cause when I pulled in there were 2 separate lines and about 5 cars in both. I was in and out in under 10mins. I wish I had ordered a scone or something but I'll definitely be back to try something soon.

I'm always happy to see this place booming with business, their staff is super friendly and the local love is like no other. Prices are an amazing value compared to other big companies where the visit is just a transaction, here you know it's benefitting the local community. Be sure to bring the pups they have treats :)

I visited Coffee Times on a few occasions now and left more than satisfied every time. Need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up? House coffee is only $0.99 for an 8 oz. Sweet tooth actin' up? The caramel macchiato frappe (my fav!!!) will take care of it. On the good and want a quick filling lunch? Try a smoothie! I highly recommend the Avocado Banana Spinach ($6.75). They also have treats from local bakeries until sold-out. 5/5!

For Vegans and Non Vegans alike coffee times has something for everyone. We got a tuna wrap, bagel with vegan cream cheese, the avocado banana spinach smoothie with peanut butter, and a drip coffee. The coffee was quality and the bagel was fluffy and delicious. The smoothie is something I regularly get and it always hits the spot! I could tell the tuna wrap was fresh and made from quality ingredients. For a quick on the go bite to eat and coffee, this place is great! Plus, when you stop by coffee times you support a small locally owned business, who doesn't love that?

I will drive about of my way for this coffee. I think it's the best coffee in town. No inside, no gimmicks, just great coffee. The espresso is so flavorful and robust without being too strong. I LOvE YOU COFFEE TIMES-- please never leave me! I wish they had more locations.

Good Morning Hot Coffee! Got my early morning 6am cup. Oatmilk latte with honey! So hot & good from happy people. Love this locally owned & operated spot. Drive thru & walk up window available. If you happen to arrive when there's a line, you are good. The line will move along & definitely worth the wait.

If you're looking for some amazing coffee & great customer service in Tucson look no further! This little coffee shop is so convenient, as they have both a walk up and drive thru option for you to choose from. They move the drive thru line so efficiently that I have never waited more than 3 minutes compared to my previous wait of 20 mins in the Starbucks drive thru. The menu has a vast majority of items and flavors to choose from, and the coffee is sooo good! It's exactly what I've been searching for since I've moved to Tucson. The employees are so sweet and always provide dog treats to my pup! Another cool detail is that they are family owned, and support other local small businesses by offering their pastries and bagels. Cannot recommend enough, it's a must try!

This drive-thru coffee shop is wonderful. I often am quickly able to place my order, which is usually a smoothie of some kind and pick up a hummus wrap. They sell pastries from Villiage Bakehouse, and who doesn't love those?! I know they have been around a long while since, during nursing school, my classmate lived off their coffee while studying for exams. With the quarantine, their hours are reduced, but as a drive-thru business, they offer with a pull-up window on each side of the building; 2 windows! The staff have always been fantastic, I have never had a bad experience in the years of ordering coffee, treats, and wraps. Thank you Coffee Times Drive for being a treasure. #ThankYouThursday

Tried coffee times this morning and it was delicious and fast. When we got in line I was worried it would take a while cause there were quite a few cars in front of us, but we only waited for five minutes which isn't bad. I got the sea salt caramel macchiato and wow it was delish. It was just the right amount of sweet. We also tried the peach scone and the chocolate chip espresso glazed scone. They were both baked to perfection and were delicious. Don't forget your mask when you visit Coffee Times!

I love supporting locally owned businesses and Coffee Times Drive Thru is one of my faves!! Talk about addicting! Their smoothies are fabulous!!! The Acai Smoothie is my favorite. I also really like the Protein Power Pak, the Cacao Power Pak and the Strawberry Banana smoothies. I have had a frappe on occasion and those are very good as well, very rich. And I LOVE their pastries, especially the s'mores muffin. Vegan options abound. They rotate the pastry selection so there's different choices periodically. It's a breeze to pull into the parking lot and drive up to one of their two windows. They also have a walk-up window as well and plenty of parking spots in the lot. I feel like the prices are pretty fair. I don't know that I'd pay much more for a smoothie, so the price is just right at the moment. And certainly if you are just getting a cup of house coffee, that price is great. I do wish they'd offer some kind of "frequent flyer" reward system for repeat customers but I do understand that they reward everyone through good prices overall. Lastly, all the employees are always friendly! Great job, Coffee Times Drive Thru!

I moved here from Seattle where there were more drive through coffee huts than pimples on a 16 year old video game enthusiast. Coming here reminded me of home! You drive into a gravel lot and order from a window. Drive through to the next window to pay and pick up your order. Very simple. They even have a walk-in window if you happen to be sauntering in the area. There are no seats or tables so this is not the kind of coffee shop where you settle in to study. Quick service, super friendly staff. I was in and out in under 5 minutes and I swear every single employee inside smiled at me. The chai tea latte had the perfect amount of spice and warmth. Lot of variety between your standard coffee, teas, and healthy smoothies. They even serve modest breakfast and lunch. Probably costs about the same as Starbucks.

Real talk. I travel a lot. I drink gallons of coffee, and I can say with absolute certainty that this is the best oat milk latte I've ever had. By a WIDE margin. Great location. Two drive through window and a walk up window. They also sell vegan pop tarts with are really good also. Even if vegan food isn't your thing, give it a shot. Go there. Get a latte. You're welcome.
