Bonita Sol Cafe
1809 W Mission Harbor Ln, Tucson, AZ
Crema's Take
“Bonita Sol Cafe is a stunning historic building that doubles as both a welcoming daytime coffee spot and evening bar, making it one of Tucson's most aesthetically distinctive spaces. Their espresso work shines through in carefully crafted drinks like the chiltepin cold brew and orange cardamom latte, with enough skill and creativity to satisfy coffee enthusiasts while staying approachable and unpretentious. The combination of thoughtful interior design, outdoor seating with shade, and a genuinely relaxed vibe makes it equally suited for a quiet solo coffee session or lingering with friends.”

This is a lovely little local bar. Very welcoming and casual environment. We went right when they opened and had one of the seating rooms all to ourselves. We were catching up with friends and it was easy to have a conversation. The Margarita happy hour was perfect in taste and price. Evidently owners go to Mexico and source their tequila and mezcal regularly. I only marked them a little lower on food because they have a small menu, but frankly that isn't why you should go. Bartender took great care in mixing his amazing drinks. Definite pride in what he was making. We tried several of their signature cocktails and weren't disappointed in any of them. If you like more to your bar than a cold beer, you have to try this place. A MUST for cocktail lovers.
I came here for coffee on a quiet Sunday (have not tried the nighttime bar yet). I was stunned by how aesthetically beautiful this place is— probably the best in Tucson in this regard. A historic building with vintage wood furniture, rustic building materials, a collection of old type writers. The cappuccino was also great. My new favorite cafe!
I stopped by Exo for coffee since it was just down the street from my hotel and what a beautiful spot. I ordered a flat white, my go-to drink when comparing coffee shops, and while it was good, it was their chocolate croissant that truly stood out, absolutely incredible. The space itself is stunning, warm, and thoughtfully designed, the perfect place to relax, chat, and enjoy coffee with pastries. Definitely one of the most aesthetic and inviting coffee shops I’ve visited.
This location is my favorite! Indoor and Outdoor seating with shade. The interior is clever and chic. Great seating to read, relax, and work if you too! Their paclage coffee is fabulous!!! Orange Cardamom Latee=👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 DELICUOUS!!!
We stopped in for a morning coffee and were blown away! The chiltepin cold brew was delicious—The notes of chocolate with a pleasant hint of chili was great. We also tried the orange cardamom latte (a bit out of the norm for us since we’re usually black coffee drinkers who go for a light roast pour-over), but it was such a fun treat! Both drinks were fantastic—balanced, unique, and expertly made. We’d definitely come back and order again!
