    Iced Caramel Macchiato and Iced Dirty Chai (best iced dirty chai I've ever had!) -- both rate these 10/10
    Alex S.

    Loved our iced caramel macchiato and iced dirty chai (best iced dirty chai I've had in Tucson!). Stopped here on a Saturday morning with two cars ahead and was quickly up to order with a smile. Both 16 oz drinks only cost $9 and were delicious! Will come back soon. :)

    Wow, as far as hidden gems on my hipster checklist go this hits all the boxes. Catchy name? Check. Modern menu? Check. Small location out of the way? Check. The Brewed Awakening drink is insanely good. It has salted caramel, espresso, chili powder, chocolate, and a whole bunch of other stuff I can't even remember. I am actively trying to ignore how much sugar it must have because seriously the flavors complement each other well. Everyone needs to come here. But I guess then it would lose part of its charm.

    I've driven by this little gem a few times and decided to stop and try it out. I wish I would've done so sooner!!! The lady that works it is super nice! And the nitro cold brew was just what I needed. Totally woke me up and got me back on track. The whole interaction was great, nothing but positive wholesome vibes and delicious coffee. Looking forward to my next visit!!

    I love this coffee, staff. It does take a while to get your coffee, but hey it has like one person in it. But also, the coffee is way too sweet. The flavoring ad ins are too sweet.

    The hubby was washing his car the other day and overhead someone talking about this place so this morning we took a drive and enjoyed some hot lattes- cookie dough and caramel. We each enjoyed a 20oz drink for $8 and some change TOTAL. The hubby has NO complaints of his hot caramel latte: not too sweet or burning tongue hot, nice aroma coming from lid, smooth while drinking with satisfying hints of caramel throughtout. My cookie dough latte was not too hot either, had a cookie-like scent coming from the lid, smooth with subtle notes of cookies tingling my taste buds especially near the end of my drink. The barista was a sweet and welcoming young lady who had great customer service and was genuinely delightful. She explained the menus, flavors, hours of operation and prices. After our order was placed via driving up, requiring NO effort on our part (lol), our drinks were presented within about 6 minutes we paid less than $10 for both and were even given a punch card, after the 10th drink our 11th is free. #nocomplaints

    We were visiting family and we were recommended this spot! It's hard to find if you just look it up…read moreon google maps, you have to check their IG to see where they're at. They were definitely worth the drive! Anytime I'm trying out a new coffee place I tend to ask a lot of questions about their menu because every shop is so different. The man at the window was very patient and helpful. I decided to go with their unique drink called the "Snake Bite". It was amazing, I have never had anything liked it. The barista said it was a blend of their tea and espresso. Their other drinks appeal to the customers that like their drinks on the sweeter side. My husband got their Aztec mocha and it was delicious, sweet but not overly sweet. Overall, they're a small coffee truck that does it all! I'll definitely come back whenever we visit.

Calle came to this apartment earlier in the year and they were great. I was very happy to hear they were coming again as was my girlfriend. Needless to say, I will never be coming back and I will be strongly suggesting that Calle coffee not be invited back. Be better. Support the many other coffee joints that Tucson has to offer.

The staff was nice and they explained everything they had, which is a lot. I opted for their cold brew but I think their matcha is where it's at. I never had matcha but everyone in there were ordering them and they looked fantastic. They were made to order which I know is a good thing. The coffee was good I would order again but it wasn't life changing. What was amazing beyond belief was their pastries, they said they were all made fresh daily and they had everything from sweet to savory and all looked great. A few things that caught my eye specifically were their Egg Tarts, Custard Donuts, and their Kanafeh. I opted for the Kanafeh because you don't see this anywhere really. The Kanafeh was all that it should be. It was crispy, had a mild cheese in the center and the bottom was soaked with a honey syrup. It was topped with pistachios which added some salt to it and some crunch. I would go back just for this. I think this place is a must stop!

I ordered mine on a gluten free everything bagel and I am honestly not sure if it was gluten free or not. Since I only have a minor sensitivity I didn't think too hard about it, but it did taste like a regular bagel. If it was gluten free then this was a great gluten free bagel! Three of our orders came out before the other two, and they told us they would bring the food to our table when it came out. We chose to sit outside, since the inside was full. After several minutes had passed, and the rest of our food hadn't come out, we went in to see our food had just been sitting on the counter. This was probably a miscommunication of some sort, but I do wonder how long they would have let the food sit there if we hadn't come in. The sandwich was good, but it did taste like something I could make at home. I would need to try more menu items at Ren in order to get a better idea, but the rest of their menu and bakery case does look promising!

All 4 of us have extensive experience in the hospitality industry and appreciate the stresses. Since we are unfailingly friendly customers, as so many servers are, & because there were only 6 other customers at your coffee shop at the time, sharing our experience is warranted. We visited the Main Gate shop just after noon on Saturday, 4/18. The barista was wearing a cap & O'Neill-branded t-shirt; he has a salt & pepper beard. Requesting my cappuccino in a ceramic cup, he stated, with obvious exasperation, "You can just say 'for here'." He was also visibly irritated when we requested 3 Dirty Chais of various sizes & shot strength, as if this request was overly complicated. We would have ordered food, but he was so unwelcoming we did not. Nor did we linger. We have visited this location other times and have only been treated warmly. Clearly this barista does not represent the customer service your employees normally provide. You can train people to make a good coffee. Training them to be pleasant is more complicated & best documented. Hence, this review. An unpleasant experience like this has no place in Tucson. It's not who we are & it's not who you are either, I know. We hope this gentleman finds another line of work soon
