Eegee's!!! There's nothing quite so 'Tucson' as Eegee's. This Tucson-only chain of ice slush (made with real fruit! Has bits in, even) is a perfect way to cool down in the desert heat. Their limited time 'Flavor of the Month' eegees are especially fun -- Cookie's favorite is July's Watermelon flavor. Today, Cookie got a pina colada, and I got a half-and-half of lemon and strawberry... If you haven't tried the drink variation, lemon lime soda and lemon is totes amazing.

I'm not really sure what I thought a Pita Jungle would be, but they're pretty damn wonderful, ha! Cookie got a chance to go to one of these in Phoenix, so we went together to one here in Tucson. They do everything from classic gyros to pizza- and philly cheese steak-styled contraptions (but on pita) with a lot of salad options that make for a pretty chill, but casually sophisticated set up. I feel like this is the kind of place you go to treat yourself for a good day at the gym or to schmooze a co-worker over lunch that might be of the questionably vegetarian persuasion. Which isn't to say there aren't plenty of not-so-healthy indulgences to pick from as well!
Mmmm... Baggin's. Not the Hobbit, but rather the sandwich place. I always love Baggin's, they've got crazy fresh cold cuts and hot sammies and salads and a slew of other options. I'm never been particularly fond of their side dishes, so I always stuck with the bag of chips, but they also come with a sweet treat at the end -- a chocolate chip cookie!
I have a special love of fun and quirky cafes, largely because I want to run my own one day, and I love watching other people make it work for them. I don't know if that will ever happen, but until then I will continue to be a fan of establishments that meet this expectation, and today I introduce to you a little gem I found in downtown Tucson that I'd been meaning to get a try at, and I was not disappointed.
