Best Place To Buy Coffee Beans
Coffee Etc.
READERS' PICK: Coffee houses are almost as common as convenience stores in Tucson these days (and believe us, that's a good thing). But back when Coffee Etc. first opened, the typical Tucsonan didn't know a latte from Lassie. At Coffee Etc. they have a great variety of whole-bean coffees from around the world that they roast themselves. And they'll grind it to your specificiations if you wish. They're always open, and if you get a jones for a pound of some Central American blend at 3 a.m., there are only two places in town where you can go--and they're both Coffee Etc.! Try the original on Campbell Avenue and Glenn Street, or hit the new location on Oracle Road. Pick up a pound the next time you are having breakfast, no matter what time it is.

6091 N. Oracle RoadREADERS' POLL RUNNER-UP: The Food Conspiracy, 412 N. Fourth Ave., a longtime local fixture, stocks a wide variety of coffees, many roasted right here in Tucson by the Wilde Rose Coffee Company, and their prices generally run a dollar a pound less than other outlets with a similarly broad selection. Your grinder will thank you for checking out the co-op's bulging wall o' beans.
