Hillhouse Coffee

...though tucson's coffee scene has its surprises, and hillhouse on south kolb road delivers one of the better ones. you'll find it where the residential meets the commercial, that stretch of kolb where strip malls give way to neighborhoods. the kind of place where consistency matters more than flash. their regulars have strong opinions about what good coffee should taste like, and they keep coming back. mornings bring the early crowd, afternoon pulls in the laptop workers. nothing revolutionary about the setup, just coffee done right in a city that appreciates the difference. the pour-over hits differently when someone actually cares about the grind.
