Monday Munchies: Grab-n-Go Bites at De Novo Market & Tap

Dec 2, 20243 min read

Monday Munchies is supported by Botanica.

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 folks have quite a few options for grab-and-go goodies.

De Novo Market & Tap, over on the corner of Church Avenue and Alameda Street — across from the YMCA — is bringing even more grab-and-go options to downtown. The new market at 177 N. Church Ave. is aimed at office workers with shorter lunch breaks, but it’s perfect for anyone with serious cases of the munchies.

Open daily from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., the menu is packed with breakfast bites like egg muffins, yogurt parfaits, and banana pudding, bigger lunch options like a Chicken Caesar Wrap, Chipotle Turkey sandwich, hot dogs (vegan or beef), Italian Grinder, and an Egg Salad Sammy.

Several coffee drinks, sodas, teas, and “artisan drinks” like horchata, seasonal agua frescas, strawberry lemonade, and Arnold Palmers are there to wet your whistle.

Below is a peek at the menu — certain items are subject to sell out quicker than others since these are made for folks to grab and go.

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.
