Right off the bat, you’ve probably noticed the name has changed from Mt. Lemmon Coffee Bean to Mt. Lemmon Coffee and Tea Co. There are also some new menu items to enjoy more than 8,000 feet up.
Just a little over two months ago, owner Debbie Weatherly announced that the coffee shop at 12925 N. Sabino Canyon Parkway would be closed indefinitely. On Wednesday, October 11, Mt. Lemmon Coffee and Tea Co. is officially open at 11 a.m.
The following was shared on social media:
“We’re thrilled to announce that Mt. Lemmon Coffee and Tea Co. will be opening its doors. Join us and experience the perfect blend of local flavors and warm hospitality. We can’t wait to share our passion for coffee, tea, and delicious treats with you.”
The new menu now features more locally and regionally produced products like roasts from Decibel Coffee Works, Maya Tea, milk from Tirrito Farm, and syrups from Cuppa GoGo. New treats are coming into play, too, like freshly made pastries made with Hayden Flour Mills and sweets from Monsoon Chocolate.

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.
