Cherry Week runs Wednesday through Sunday, offering rotating cherry desserts, lunch specials, and specialty beverages. The lineup includes options like a Black Cherry Iced Matcha, Chocolate Covered Cherry Iced Americano, and a sparkling Cherry Spritz.

Cocktail lovers can enjoy creations such as the Cherry Citrus Margarita with El Jimador Silver or the Tart Cherry Smash with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee whiskey. For brunch, the Cherry Mimosa combines house sparkling wine with cherry juice.

The cafe’s themed weeks showcase seasonal ingredients. Apple Week returns September 3–7 with apple-based coffees, cocktails, and desserts.

@Casaveratucson opens Aug. 12 at 7265 N. La Cholla Blvd., bringing regional Mexican cuisine to the former Tamarind space.

The 7,000-square-foot restaurant seats 200 guests with a large patio, and the design draws inspiration from a warm, old-world hacienda. The family behind Casa Vera is also known locally for Guadalajara Original Grill.

The menu highlights flavors and techniques from across Mexico, with tableside salsa service, shareable starters like the Hacienda Board and Scallop Mini Tostadas, plus entrées including Lobster Tetelas and Hojaldrado, a beef picadillo-stuffed poblano inspired by chile en nogada.

Casa Vera will be open daily from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Reservations are available through @opentable or by emailing reservations@casaveratucson.com.
