Discover 7 tasty spots where you can get your brunch on in Tucson. Some spots serve loaded omelets while others serve breakfast burrito and cinnamon buns. They’re all awesome!
1. 5 Points Market & Restaurant
Operating as both a restaurant and a market, 5 Points offers indoor and outdoor seating but the main event here is farm-to-table dishes prepared with both local ingredients and gusto. Choices include dishes like huevos rancheros, smoked salmon benedict, cobb salad and a range of sandwiches. Don’t skip the pastries and drinks – they’re great too.

2. Prep & Pastry
Prep & Pastry was ahead of the Tucson Sunday brunch curve when it opened in 2013. However, to be clear, Prep & Pastry doesn’t just serve brunch on Sundays. It’s a seven-day brunch operation. And, despite its name, this brunch spot doesn’t just serve pastries. Popular brunch items include cast iron duck confit and monstrous monte cristo sandwiches.

3. Robert’s Restaurant
Open since 1978. Robert’s Restaurant doesn’t have frills or fancy furniture. Instead, this brunch spot is all hearty breakfast dishes and cups of joe. These hearty dishes include items like homemade corned Beef & Hash, biscuits & gravy and a spicy crispy chicken sandwich. They also include chorizo scrambled eggs and some of the best cinnamon buns we ever eaten.

4. Cup Cafe
Cup Cafe is a popular brunch spot located inside the century-old Hotel Congress. That hotel, where the bank robber John Dillinger famously stayed just before he was captured in Chicago, has become a downtown dining destination thanks to its restaurants, bar and music venue. Don’t miss the cafe’s cast iron baked eggs and breakfast potatoes. However, we won’t judge you if you’re in the mood for a loaded hamburger instead.

5. Seis Kitchen
Seis Kitchen isn’t a traditional Tucson brunch spot. Instead, the popular fast casual restaurant specializes in food from six different regions of Mexico. Brunch is just one of Seis Kitchen’s meals but it’s a meal that the restaurant does well. Highlight dishes include chilaquiles and breakfast burrritos washed down with cochata, a unique blend of cold brew and horchata with ground cinnamon sprinkled on top.
6. Barrio Charro
Every day is brunch day at Barrio Charro, a casual Tucson cafe that unites two of the city’s top culinarians – Carlotta Flores and Don Guerra. Their brunch concept involves mimosas, Sonoran ingredients and artisan bread. Most of Barrio Charro’s succinct brunch dishes have Sonoran touches. They’re all delicious.
7. Decibel Coffee Works
Decibel Coffee Works serves a simple menu that includes house-made pastries, biscuits, granola and ice cream in addition to its eclectic coffee and tea selection. This isn’t a typical brunch spot but rather a cafe that serves coffee with benefits. These benefits include scones. And who doesn’t like scones?
