Apr 28, 20252 min read

The team at Agustin Kitchen, 100 S. Avenida del Convento #150, is waking up a little earlier these days.

On Monday, April 28, the restaurant launched its new daytime counter service concept — Cafe Agustin — serving fresh pastries, house-baked breads, breakfast, and lunch from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. daily.

If you’ve followed Agustin Kitchen over the years, you know the kitchen has always been about quality ingredients and a strong sense of place. Cafe Agustin takes that same ethos and folds it into an easygoing daytime vibe.

A couple of newcomers coming out of the bakery include the Ramona Farms blue corn blueberry scone, made with stone-milled heirloom corn, house buttermilk, and organic grains, and the house brioche bostock, where buttery sourdough brioche meets frangipane.

Pair any of Cafe Agustin’s house-baked treasures with a warm coffee, and you’re kickin’ the day off on the right foot.

If you’re hungry for something heartier, the menu leans into craveable classics — from a breakfast sandwich on a house bun to crispy snap pea salad and even steak and eggs with chimichurri.

More about Matt

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.
