I knew it before as the epic cafe and it's just as good if not better! A wonderful selection of breakfast and lunch foods, as well as delicious drinks. My bacon was perfectly cooked, the toast perfectly buttered, and the eggs were delicious! They also had plenty of pastries to choose from, sweet and savory. It was not busy at all and seems like the perfect hole-in-the-wall spot to take a chance at. Not to mention, the prices were very reasonable. Edit to add that you HAVE to try their prickly pear smoothie. I would come here JUST for this. It is so delicious. The refresher is also super yummy and really great for hot days.

Cafe Maggie on 4th Ave is a hidden gem just a short walk from the University of Arizona. The place has a cool, artistic vibe that instantly makes you feel welcome, and the staff are incredibly friendly and laid-back. I had the breakfast sandwich on a ln everything bagel, absolutely delicious and paired it with a banana nut muffin that hit the spot. We also tried the avocado toast, which was fresh and flavorful. To top it off, the caramel latte I ordered was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Full of character, relaxing vibes, classic music, abstract art, and a wonderful breakfast/coffee selection. We went here before a hike and left very satisfied. I got the giant burrito, or whatever the biggest burrito on the menu is called, and I wasn't hungry again until about 1pm lol after a 7 mile hike. Very fairly priced too! You will need to find street parking but this wasn't an issue at 0730.

Short & Sweet Comfy, art-filled cafe on 4th Ave, perfect for a bite, local vibes, and supporting the community. Brewing coffee and connection in Tucson’s heart. Longer Musings Cafe 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 cafe’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, Cafe 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.

This breakfast sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The croissant was crispy, yet soft and delicious. The egg was cooked to perfection. The bacon was crispy and thick. It was flavorful. High marks for this place.

This is a really nice little place to go to for breakfast or lunch and just relax and have some good food. The cafe itself is well cared for and pleasant to be in. And the service here is perfect. The person who took my order was friendly and made sure things were correct before continuing and my meal was ready in a good amount of time. I had a panini and blackberry mojito, both which were amazing. The drink in particular was really good, the blackberry, lime, and mint combined very nicely together. The panini had a little too much spinach for me, but it was nonetheless delicious. It also came with some side potatoes that were seasoned and roasted to perfection. The portions are quite generous as well. I am not one to eat a lot, so I got a little box to take home part of my meal, but if you've got a bigger appetite, then it should be perfect for you. I really liked eating here, it's a cozy little cafe and the food is delicious. If I'm ever in Tucson again I would gladly come back.
