What a nice little coffee shop. The Organic and Fair trade coffee caught my eye, as well as the beautiful interior pictures. It was beautiful inside and the barista was very pleasant. The place is a bit hard to find, it is on the back side of a building in the strip mall. The coffee was good, and the pastry that they heated was very good. A nice change from the chain coffee houses. Stop in and you be the judge.

Nothing special about this place, definitely better than starbucks, but their coffee is subpar compared to other local establishments such as Cartel Coffee Labs.

Closed on a Saturday? Came down from Casa Grande to visit Tucson and saw the great reviews. Got to the store and it was closed on a Saturday at 3? No sign on the door, nothing on their website. That has to be bad for business right?

Awesome customer service. Personable and outgoing staff. Solid drinks, chai drinks, frappé stuff. Apple fritter knocked our socks off! I always stop there during Costco visits. Initially, it’s tougher to find(not connected to the Costco parking lot). Did I mention the friendly and FABULOUS service and staff attitudes??? Solid business. Word.

This little shop has recently become my favorite place to grab coffee during my morning commute. I’ve been hunting for awhile and its the only independent coffee shop I’ve been able to find on the Northwest side. While the actual coffee isn’t the best in Tucson, San Giorgi’s espresso drinks are tough to beat. I’ve ordered a latte, iced latte, or cappuccino pretty much every morning for the last month. I’ve never been disappointed. The staff is incredibly friendly and happy to serve. If you find yourself in this part of town, please skip Starbucks and go here.

The best cappuccino I’ve ever had! Pros: friendly greetings upon entering and when we left, the atmosphere is cool and comfortable, they’re locally owned and they support other local businesses by buying local and as I already mentioned, the cappuccino was beyond stellar. Cons: I can’t make it there every day.

I’ve heard this place has the best coffee in town but I had not been there to experience it myself until this past Friday. Boy were they right! Smooth flavorful coffee served at just the right temperature. I had a latte with a touch of almond syrup. The best way to describe it is when you are making your own cup of coffee at home and you take that first sip and realize you have some how lucked out and made that perfect cup of coffee with just the right ratio of cream and bold delicious coffee. It was truly blissful! I will definitely be back, thank you!

I’m super bummed to be writing this review, you guys. Over the past week, I’ve been kicking up my search for the best coffee in Tucson, obviously using Unilocal as a guiding light. When I came across the reviews for this place, I drove for 20 minutes across town to check it out. I walked in and was super excited. The place was completely empty, and set up in a way that I thought I might actually be able to sit down with my daughter and drink(at least part of) my coffee there for once.(I usually never do this because I hate the idea of ruining someone’s afternoon coffee with a spirited one year old«sitting» at the next table.) When I walked up to the bar to order, all of that excitement vanished as soon as I began interacting with the barista. She walked over without saying a word. I said, «Hey, how’s it going?» and instead of any response, I was greeted with a not-so-subtle body check, followed by a stare as she waiting for me to to tell her my order. The only other person there was a guy sitting at the bar(who seemed to be maybe another employee?), and I literally felt like I was being treated as if I were interrupting something of great importance. I ordered an iced coffee with almond milk(to go) and was brought the iced coffee with maybe 4 cubes of ice which were melted by the time I got to my car and a carton of almond milk. As soon as the barista set it down in front of me… right back to whatever conversation she was having before with the guy at the bar. The only kindness from this place came from that guy(again, I would assume he also worked there) when he told me to have a nice day as I was leaving. Why the barista couldn’t do anything close to that, I’ll never know. But to me, it was enough to cross the place off my list. There are tons of coffee shops in Tucson, and this one just went on my «never again» list because of something that’s inexcusable to me. It’s a real shame, because the iced coffee itself, even with its lack of ice, was good.

I stopped by here recently. I love chai lattes — I think they’re a great pick-me-up but they don’t cause the caffeine jitters that stronger coffee tends to do. I stopped by here for a 12 oz soy chai latte. It ended up being $ 4.32 — which is pricey, but I obliged. CHAI It was good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but it was still good. It was a lot creamier than other chai lattes I have tried. It was definitely more foamy and creamy than it was spiced or sweet, but I still enjoyed it. AMBIANCE There is plenty of seating for coffee and conversation and tables for studying. I would describe this place as a family-friendly, locally owned coffee shop. Overall, this a nice coffee shop and I would probably return, but it is definitely on the pricey side.

So glad this place is on the westside of town. It’s my go to coffee stop when I want a tasting coffee fix. The staff is really great also they can make whatever kind of drink you want. They can even add in the sugar for you in your coffee drink. The coffee never tastes burnt or to watered down like some places. Its just the right stop to after a or before a costco run.

San Giorgis is a great coffee shop with friendly and efficient service and excellent coffee and pastries. My partner had a white mocha and a ham and cheese croissant, both of which were good. I had a medium roast coffee and a cinnamon roll. The coffee was perfect and the cinnamon roll was ridiculously good. Not to mention the fact that the cinnamon roll is huge! Tables are somewhat small, but they work. Lots of outlets available and wi-fi. My partner and I both wished that San Giorgis offered more food options. Overall great experience!

I drink a lot of coffee. Like, a LOT. And San Giorgi’s is probably one of my favorite little hidden gems in the Tucson area. Tucked away and overshadowed by the giant Costco next door, I had a little bit of a hard time finding it at first. But now I always make sure to stop by before I hit the I-10 back up to Phoenix! The staff are always friendly and helpful, and don’t get annoyed if you’re indecisive and take forever to decide what you want(like me). They’re also really quick to get orders out, which is always a plus! I haven’t had any of the food/pastries here, but I think I’ve covered about half of the drink menu by now. Their caramel macchiato is one of the best I’ve ever had, especially iced. I also really enjoy the iced green tea latte and the hot white mocha. There usually aren’t too many people when I’m there, and I don’t know if I’m just dropping by at really off times, or if it just isn’t that busy ever. But the environment of the shop is really nice, with comfy chairs, a bar, and a floor-to-ceiling window. My only complaint about San Giorgi’s is that it’s a little on the pricey side. It’s not too extreme, and probably is only a little bit higher than average for a nicer coffee shop, but it still pains me a little bit to fork over $ 5 for a 16 oz drink. But I’m more okay with paying that much to support a local company as opposed to Starbucks. Who has gross coffee anyways.

Great coffee served by great individuals. I frequent this coffee shop 2 or more times a week and I don’t mind spending my hard earned money here. The coffee tastes great and is organic and fair trade. It is way better than that coffee shop with the mermaid on the cup. Come try it out!

best chai latte and they have high grade tea! I literally just wanted to stay there and drink tea all day! Their customer service is great they are so friendly and when I asked for a scone I was thinking they were just going to put it in a little brown bag for me like other coffee places do. But no. He actually warmed it up for me and put it on a little plate for me and brought it over to me. I’m in awe of this place. I don’t care if it’s so far from me I’ll definitely be back.

I went to San Giorgi’s this morning for the first time. From the reviews I had high hopes and felt a little disappointed. I ordered the Carmel café machiado and my son and husband had the white mocha frappé. All our drinks were very good. I was looking forward to the cute designs on people’s coffee that I saw on Unilocal,but my coffee was just put in a to go cup even though I was staying in. The biggest disappointment was the pastries or lack of pastries. Again from pictures on Unilocal I looked forward to a large cinnamon roll or coffee cake and they had neither. In fact they only had a blue berry muffin(which looked like it had been bought at the Cosco next to them) and a apple turnover that didn’t look any better. When I asked about the rolls, staff stated that they were out. I still gave them four stars because the coffee was good and the staff was very friendly. When I go to a coffee house I like to have the choice of some sinful pastries, and they do not have that.

It’s about the nicest place we have been to so far(in Tucson) for relaxing cup of sunshine. Early morning, very good and fancy latte, nice couch, watching national geographic channel and talking with my wonderful wife. The barista is a true artist, the coffee was great. The atmosphere; very nice. Love it. Come here and enjoy. It’s a long drive from my home, wish is was closer to where I live. I would come here very often if it were closer. A great place though. Don’t pass it by. My wife had the chai latte and that was great also.

Such a great little find in the northwest! This was my second time in the coffee shop and while its location is on the other side of the street from my regular commute, my overwhelming need for some good old local coffee convinced me to take the detour. I was greeted by a warm interior and clever signs with messages about caffeine and human relationships, that made me smile even before I had my first sip and consequently become human. The employees were friendly and helpful and all the same varieties of coffee you would find anywhere else, EXCEPT for one key difference. San Giorgios coffee is organic and fair trade! WINWIN! The price I paid for my 16oz Vanilla Soy Latte was $ 4.85, pretty much the same as a Starbucks, so why would I ever give them another cent when San Giorgios is now on my radar!

My favorite little coffee spot in NW Tucson. The coffee’s delicious, organic and always tastes fresh. They have various baked goods and do all the other coffee specialties better than any franchise around. It’s usually out of my way to go here but it’s always worth it. So glad to have a great coffee shop here.
