A very confusing experience. They have vegan options for lunch but no non-dairy coffee creamer. It's a half commitment to health that is quite upsetting. For example, there are more vegetarian healthy options in their lunch menu as opposed to their breakfast menu which is decidedly more greasy spoon and junky.All in all, it seems like a nice place but we found it NOT friendly to vegetarian folks. It is actively hostile to vegan folks.Eclectic Cafe could easily provide breakfast vegan options if they so choose, but they don't because there "isn't demand".Folks - of the populations migrating to Tucson most are from vegan friendly cities like Seattle, Portland, and the Bay area, your assumption there isn't demand is old fashioned and out of date.All it takes is having a couple blocks of tofu and some seasoning and voila, you have a vegan substitute for egg. It's that easy!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian offerings are sparse and dishonest. I would not recommend this place to vegetarians, vegans, or those with allergies.

What a super nice place to eat. A definite do over!
Went here for an early dinner and had a wonderful meal. Both vegetarian calabacitas enchiladas and chimichangas were delicious. The server said the rice and beans were also vegetarian, which were also quite good. Several vegetarian options on the menu were clearly labeled. Sitting outside when it's cool enough is a must--if you can see beyond the screens, you have a view of the mountains. Friendly server and excellent busser--would definitely go here again if in Tuscan. Pick-up orders were flying out of there as we were waiting, so appears Tuscanites love the food, too.

Disappointing. We had eaten here several times a few years back. The physical location has not been updated in a while. Another customer warned us of a chair we were about to use. Staff seemed stressed. Food was okay.

I haven't been here in about 15 years.The prices are rather high, from what I remember!This is a small simple cafe with outdoor seating.I had the strawberry chicken salad which is a favorite, it was good. Served with a sourdough roll that did not taste like it was sourdough.( Hopefully it doesn't hurt my stomach. Being gluten free I can eat sourdough without issues)My friend had the chicken tortilla soup. She didn't care for it, said it didn't have flavor. She didn't eat it.Hunter was out server. She was nice friendly and engaging.I gave 4 stars because almost everything on the menu was priced at $19. And my friend was not happy that I chose the place.
