Amazing small cafe and friendly staff. Coffee was really good and had an open and warm place for studying or hanging with a friend.

I haven’t had a coffee like this in ages. The barista hand weighed the grounds, used a mortar and pestle for the chocolate, and the lavender latte is perfect— not too sweet! Plus, he had a Mohawk and was a nice person to boot!

Don't bother with their premade Grab and Go sandwiches. They taste like they're leftover from the day before. The bread was hard, the lettuce was withered, and it just wasn't worth the $10 I spent on it. Pretty disappointing.

Love this place! It's a lovely local coffee spot with a great selection of pastries, sandwiches and drinks (drip coffee, espresso, tea, specialty and more!) available daily. Decibel coffee beans are used here and food and pastries are made by in house bakers. Super clean, great service and lovely space functional for get togethers and work/study. This space also turns into a lounge some nights serving up speciality cocktails and mock tails, all unique and so tasty!

This place is so cute! It definitely feels like welcoming and warm inside. The coffee options were great, house made flavor options, fresh pastries baked that morning, and good breakfast options. I had the sausage sandwich and was very pleased. I came here to work for a couple of hours and it gave me a nice quiet vibe with good internet.
Cute coffee shop. A serene feeling where you can just sit and relax. They offer a pastry case and premade sandwiches in addition to drinks. The weekly special was a grapefruit elderflower lemonade which was refreshing and I tried the blueberry lavender muffin. The muffin was moist with a hint of lavender and lots of big blueberries, nice twist on a blueberry muffin. Service was quick and friendly. A hidden gem in downtown

This star rating is not based on the restaurant as a whole but on my experience on a specific day. I want it to be known that I love this cafe and I visit regularly. Unfortunately, on September 14th my friend and I went to The Dandelion to get some coffee drinks, and we were very disappointed in the quality of our drinks. My friend ordered an iced chai, and now I am not trying to be rude but that is quite the EASIEST drink to make. It's two ingredients and they both come in store bought containers. I ordered a cinnamon brown sugar latte. It tasted like the expresso had been burnt when it was brewed and after a few minutes I could see all the ingredients separating in my drink.I have never ever had this problem before at this cafe or with any other barista at this cafe. I'm not sure the barista working that day really knows what he is doing. I think management should make sure these new employees know how to make the drinks before they are allowed to serve them to the public.

Dandelion is a lovely addition to the Ceres/Noodies family and the downtown scene, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for a fast and delicious breakfast or lunch. The breakfast sandwiches and burritos are delish and the baked goods are just lovely. They've also been growing their lunch menu, with new options being added all the time. I pcked up the creamy cucumber dill salad and the wild mushroom and farro salad a few weeks ago and both were wonderful. The staff is so friendly and this is such a cute spot to meet a friend, read a book or post up and do some work.

Great new little cafe in downtown Tucson by the same owners of Cere's pasta! I've been in twice this week for coffee and a delicious lavender blueberry muffin, and then for lunch with a friend yesterday, we had beet and chevre sandwich, a lemonade, and a slice of cardamom spiced white cake with blackberry buttercream - it melted in our mouths! The employees at the counter were very helpful, cutting our sandwiches, and giving us to go bags, and making recommendations. The cafe itself is super cute, in a historic old building near Ceres, there is even a little arrow sign pointing the way. There is a small, adorable area inside to sit and eat, or working people downtown can grab and go. They offer a 10% discount for their downtown neighbors! The steps to go in are super steep, so watch out for those!

I have to revise my previous positive review upon learning that the owner, in a colossally short-sighted move, decided to cut costs by letting go the only professionally trained baker working at this formerly lovely spot, the person who was the architect of the entire menu.
Loved it!
