Sonoran House to Bring Coffee, Tea, Pastries & Gifts to Midtown

Jun 13, 20242 min read

Sonoran House, a new coffee shop and retail space, is opening soon at 1610 N. Tucson Blvd.

The space, which used to be a Mayfield Florist, is currently undergoing some renovations that are estimated to be completed by late July or early August.

Founders Arianna Wilson and Courtney Bedient are excited about opening a new community hub. They’re also the brains behind Cactus Wren Kids — an online store for parents that offers clothing for kids.

The new 1,000-square-foot space near the corner of Tucson Boulevard and Elm Street will serve coffee, tea, and locally baked pastries. They’re actually roasting their own coffee, too, and actively seeking local vendors. Head over to their website if you’d like to be involved with the new shop.

The vision behind Sonoran House is to offer a cozy and welcoming environment where customers can relax, read, and socialize. Comfortable seating areas will be provided, enhancing the shop’s atmosphere and making it an ideal spot for both solo visitors and groups.

The shop will also feature a retail section showcasing handmade items from local artisans, including pottery, jewelry, and soaps.

They are also in the process of hiring staff and are looking for enthusiastic individuals to join their team. You can apply online.

The opening of Sonoran House reflects a growing trend in Tucson’s landscape, where the blending of coffee culture with local retail creates vibrant and community-focused spaces. This approach not only attracts a diverse clientele but also fosters a sense of local pride and connection.

Stay tuned for a list of local vendors found in the shop and also an exact opening date, but we can expect more information by late July/early August.

Sonoran House is located at 1610 N. Tucson Blvd. For more information and to keep up with the latest, follow Sonoran House on Instagram.

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.
