Cuppa GoGo, the local coffee shop, known for its housemade syrups and sauces, has permanently closed.
Owner Emery Van Gilder announced on social media on Monday, January 6. A little over a year ago, Cuppa GoGo expanded out of its food truck and into its first brick-and-mortar at 4877 E. Speedway Blvd.
The following was shared online:
“We are so sorry to announce that, unfortunately, we are no longer able to run Cuppa Gogo. We appreciate all of you so much for supporting us throughout the years. We really do have the BEST customers for enjoying our team and our product! We can never thank you guys enough. We will miss all of you so much. Until next time.”
This also means the food truck will no longer be in operation.

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.
