Mt. Lemmon Coffee Bean to open its doors in Spring of 2022

December 1, 2021

"Patience is a virtue, perseverance pays off and the dream is the driver."

The journey up Mount Lemmon is something special. You’ve got beautiful views on both sides of the vehicle while traveling along its curvy path — enough to get you pumped about getting to the top. However, if you need a pick-me-up on the way back down, there will soon be a new option.

Mt. Lemmon Coffee Bean is currently getting things in motion as it prepares to open up at 12925 N. Sabino Canyon Parkway in the Spring of 2022.

The coffee shop will be owned and operated by Summerhaven resident Debbie Weatherly, who used to run the former Mt. Lemmon Cafe before it closed in 2009.

Mt. Lemmon Coffee Bean shared the following on Facebook:

“My name is Deb Weatherly and Mt. Lemmon has been my home for well over a decade. Over the years I have seen and heard about the need for a coffee shop. Now after all those years, the Mt Lemmon Coffee Bean is becoming a reality. Patience is a virtue, perseverance pays off and the dream is the driver.”

Once construction is complete, the new coffee shop will be nestled near the new Mount Lemmon Hotel, serving as both a walk-up coffee counter for guests, a daily spot for those who live up on the mountain, and a refreshing beverage for the folks driving up for a day trip.

Keep an eye out for updates on the menu, official opening date, and other information as we near the Grand Opening.

Mt. Lemmon Coffee Bean will be located at 12925 N. Sabino Canyon Parkway. For more information, follow Mt. Lemmon Coffee Bean on Facebook.

Matt Sterner

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
