The Best Vegan Food in Tucson

Coronet Cafe sits in the heart of Barrio Viejo as a counter-service cafe focused on fresh local produce and sustainable proteins. The compact space pairs a warmly appointed interior with a shaded outdoor patio, giving it a quiet, unhurried atmosphere. It shares a property with the Coronet Restaurant and the Nightjar cocktail bar, and a small market sells house-made goods, local beer and wine, Caffe Luce coffee, and curated gifts.

In the morning, go for the Çilbir Turkish egg breakfast. After 2 p.m., check out the evening menu for the Coronet Burger with prime black Angus, Welsh cheddar, red onion jam, dijonnaise, and pickles with fries and ají amarillo aioli. At any of their hours, snack on Barrio Bread with gourmet tinned seafood.
