The Chocolate Iguana is once again open for business on the north side of Tucson at 7250 N. La Cholla Blvd. #186.
The new location, which is under new ownership, is open daily from 7 a.m. – 2 p.m. They’re located next to the Albertsons grocery store and just a few strides away from Mosaic Cafe Dos.
It’s a great way to rise and shine and get your day started since they open nice and early at 7 a.m.
There’s plenty of candy to choose from on the shelves if you’re looking for a sugar rush, but the menu also has coffee drinks, tea, Italian sodas, toasted bagels, breakfast sandwiches, avocado toast, and something that’ll perk just about anyone up: the Churro Cheesecake. This treat comes with caramel drizzled on top, too.

More about MattAt 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.
