Quiet and cozy indoor space and a super cute citrus patio. Great place to study
I didn’t know what to expect from a shop called Raging Sage. It’s an interesting place where the common interior thankfully opens to a serene orange tree patio, delightful. My coffee was to have a chili cinnamon nutmeg kick, but I found it to be just a good coffee without that expected wow factor. I’d go back to give a second chance and ask for more kick, just for a good iced coffee on the patio on a hot Tucson day.
I'd give 1 star if this was a Starbucks, but I'd hate for anyone to lose their entire business due to a poor review. Their house blend coffee is awful. The beans taste burned. Server said it's a combo between a med to dark roast. My personality preference is a light to med roast. I didnt want my personal flavor profile to ruin their business either. Heads up to anyone that wants good coffee that this is extremely bitter with not great taste. For me, it's similar to a hotel lobby coffee at a comfort inn. Not going back. Thank you
Coffee is not great. When I asked what roast the 2 bags of decaf they had in whole bean was, they said "well that one is dark, but I guess that one is darker" then proceeded to tell me that for next time "the shelves go light, medium, dark, and decaf" No duh, I literally asked about 2 decaf bags of beans that said nothing about their roast darkness. The overall experience is not worth repeating. The parking is directly off the busy road, they still REQUIRE masks not just "request" and the staff was rude and unhelpful. There are several options around and I sadly, won't be returning here. After trying the "less dark" roast at home in my French press, I regret wasting my money. It is too dark a roast for a French press brew.
The atmosphere is exactly what you want a coffeehouse to be -- small but w lots of seating, relaxed, indoor/outdoor tables w wi-fi, and, above all, the best coffee and pastries in Tucson. The baristas aren't terribly friendly, but in a way it's kind of cool to get away from the overly friendly, hyped-up model of customer service. I love this place!
Picked up a mint dream while visiting Tuscon. Place has a really cool vibe and some fantastic coffee. Picked up some of their roast to have at home.
I ordered a dry decaf cappuccino and got really dirty looks from the staff for whatever reason, i know it's not a plain coffee but I've been a barista before and know i wasn't asking for much. The cappuccino was good but the service was really bad and i wouldn't come back to feel uncomfortable ordering a coffee again.
Cashier lady is extremely rude, I’ll put a mask on but you can ask in a nicer way. Everyone I know has had the same experience. If you’re wearing masks because you’re “compassionate”, then be compassionate the whole way.

The midnight cake was so good, the cream was not overly sugary and heavy like most cakes, and the cake itself wasn't dry or anything it was so good. I also got peppermint tea and I thought it was a great combination. I came here to study and even though it's outdoor seating only, the vibes were right despite the cars passing.
