Deserto is a self-serve frozen yogurt and coffee café that opened in January 2026 on River Road at Craycroft in Tucson’s Foothills. Its owner wanted a calm, polished room — sage-green tile, lavender walls and deep purple accents — and Lion Craft built the pieces that give it shape: the grey channel-back upholstered banquettes, the long white wall counter with an LED glow underneath, the arched wall niches, and the white marble-look tables.
A dessert café sees sticky hands, spills and a steady stream of families, so every surface had to be easy to clean while still looking crisp. Each piece was built in our Phoenix shop and installed by our own crew, the same single-shop process behind our Tucson projects and restaurant work across the Southwest.
We fabricated and installed the grey channel-back upholstered banquettes, the LED-lit white wall counter, the arched wall niches, and the white marble-look tables — all built in our Phoenix shop. Explore our custom banquette work.
Yes. We build for compact counter-service concepts as well as full-service restaurants. In a small room, a well-detailed banquette wall and counter often do most of the design work.
Timelines depend on scope, but a seating and millwork package moves through design, engineered shop drawings, fabrication, upholstery, and installation over several weeks. Request an estimate for a project-specific timeline.
Yes. From our Phoenix shop we build and install across Arizona, including Tucson, Oro Valley, and the Foothills. Browse our Tucson projects.
