Harley’s Coffee Co. will hold its grand opening on Saturday, July 5, at 316 E. Sixth St., Suite 150. The ribbon-cutting ceremony starts at 8 a.m., and the cafe will be open until 3 p.m. that day. The first 50 customers will receive $2 specialty drinks, and prize raffles are planned as part of the celebration.
Built on Family and Community
Owner Amanda Arvizu founded Harley’s Coffee Co. with a mission to build community through coffee. The cafe’s name is a tribute to Arvizu’s late father and his beloved Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
The concept first hit the road as a pop-up coffee stand at local markets and events. Meanwhile, Arvizu nurtured a dream of sharing her love of coffee and the culinary passion passed down from her father. Now, after years of planning, Harley’s Coffee Co. has parked itself in a permanent Tucson location.
Local Roasts and Signature Drinks
Staying true to its Arizona roots, Harley’s Coffee Co. sources its beans from Blessed Grounds, a Tucson-based specialty coffee roaster. All coffee is locally roasted and curated specifically for the Harley’s brand.
On the menu, visitors can expect a full range of espresso classics and creative house specialties. Harley’s built a following at pop-up events with its signature lattes, and those favorites now have a permanent place on the café menu. Look for unique offerings like a traditional Mexican café de olla and a Sonoran Mocha alongside matcha and fruity iced drinks. The shop is also pouring cold brew and drip coffee for purists seeking a simple cup. Additionally, a selection of pastries and baked goods from local partners will complement the drink menu during the opening phase.
Harley’s Coffee Co. is located at 316 E. Sixth St., Ste. 150. Follow @harleyscoffee.co on Instagram for updates.
