Earlier this year, in February, we found out that the coffee cart parked at The Gardens at Bear Canyon was opening its very first brick-and-mortar location. Now, the time has come and the team behind Hillhouse Coffee is ready to open its doors at 1060 S. Kolb Rd.
The official Grand Opening date is Saturday, May 27.
They’ve been working hard to renovate the former Poco & Mom’s and Sonoran Brunch Co. spot near 22nd Street, and now it’s in prime position to be your go-to Cold Roast hangout. Cold Roast, which is not to be confused with cold brew, is something Logan Power and Eric Haberman are proud to serve in this desert climate.
“It’s essentially a coffee that we steep,” said Power. “It’s different from cold brew and the ratio of coffee to water, steeping time, and a few other elements as far as the roasting that we’ve manipulated. We have our cold roast coming out in a much faster window than an espresso machine does.”
Grand Opening Weekend
So, the crew wants you to celebrate the Grand Opening with them by offering free beverages on Saturday, May 27, and then half-off drinks on Sunday, May 28. Over the weekend the hours of operation will be 9 a.m. – noon.
Beginning Monday, May 29, Hillhouse Coffee will be open 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. daily.
At the moment, the coffee shop is drive-thru-only and the lounge area will open soon (the date is TBD). Keep an eye out for any updates on that by following the shop on Instagram, and they’re targeting to open a second location by Spring 2024.
Hillhouse Coffee is at 1060 S. Kolb Rd. For more information and updates, visit hillhousecoffee.com and follow Hillhouse Coffee on Instagram.

More about MattAt 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.
