Sometimes you’re in a rush and you need something pronto! Thanks to spots like The Monica, HeeMee Coffee + Bakery, Baggin’s, and other local businesses, downtown Tucson workers have quite a few options for grab-and-go goodies.

Over on the corner of Church Avenue and Alameda Street — across from the YMCA — De Novo Market & Tap is bringing more grab-and-go options to down.

They’re expected to open by the end of the year at 177 N. Church Ave. The new spot is located at the ground floor level of the Transamerica building in downtown Tucson.

The space was a former Pie Bird, which closed a few years ago. The new restaurant is one of the latest businesses backed by the Rio Nuevo Board.

As mentioned earlier, the venue will offer grab-and-go meals, and also a lunch menu, and Happy Hour bar options. De Novo Market & is aimed at office workers with shorter lunch breaks, but anyone’s welcome to stop in and grab a bite.

Indoor seating will feature some fairly large booths, a 60-seat patio, and even 30 dedicated parking spots.

Renovations are off and running and the restaurant is expected to open by the end of 2024.

De Novo Market & Tap is located at 177 N. Church Ave. For more information, visit denovomktandtap.com.
