The very first Roadrunner Coffee Co. shop opened up on the northwest side of town back in 2008 at 9665 N. Thornydale Rd. #110, serving hand-crafted espresso and coffee drinks, smoothies, Italian sodas, sandwiches, and pastries. In 2021, the crew took a leap and opened up its first drive-thru stand at 1545 W. Wetmore Rd.
Now, just a month ago, Roadrunner Coffee debuted another new drive-thru location at 1612 N. Alvernon Way and there’s a big Grand Opening celebration happening on Friday, November 10.
Found between Speedway Boulevard and Pima Street, Roadrunner Coffee will be giving out freebies like free drip coffee, cold brew, and 16-ounce Fusion Energy Drinks. If you’re looking for something larger, you can snag Fusion Energy Drinks for $1 (24 ounces) and $2 (32 ounces).
Also, they’ll be handing out gift cards to lucky coffee drinkers and setting up a donation collection for Pima Animal Care Center (PACC).
The shop’s current hours of operation is 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. daily.

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.
