Best coffee shops in Tucson?

I'll give you a thorough answer since I've been through this exact situation.

I moved to Broadway Village from Phoenix about 2 years ago. Initially I was excited but nervous. But after settling in, Downtown has improved dramatically since I first moved here..

A few things I'd recommend:
- Check out Broadway Village and Midvale Park for housing
- Join local Facebook/Reddit groups for your neighborhood
- Talk to your neighbors - people are friendlier than you'd expect

The biggest adjustment was food scene. I've never felt unsafe walking around {hood} at night.. Overall I'd give Tucson a 7/10 for remote workers.
