    Decibel is one of my favorite places to purchase coffee grounds, and a true west side gem. Located in the MSA Annex, this is a great spot for classic and creative coffee beverages and pastries. They also have ice cream for those hot days, perfect for an affogato! They sell a variety of whole bean coffees (Guatemala, Costa Rica etc origins) and they will also grind the beans to your preference if you ask. I like that when you purchase a bag of beans, you get a free drip coffee or cold brew- awesome perk for me! The cold brew is bright, light, and perfect with a splash of oat milk. There is seating directly in front of the shop, or you can wander around and find plenty of seating throughout the annex.

    Affogato
    Sam L.

    Came out on a Saturday morning and it was bustling! Nestled inside the compound, there's plenty of open seating since businesses are closed. Coming from out of town, the specialties were unique and appealing although the lattes seemed to dilute quickly being outdoors so taste was a bit lackluster. What I enjoyed the most was the affogato - ice cream is made in house and is quite nice on its own but the espresso paired with it complimented it very well. Presentation could use some work to match the quality but that's just my opinion!

    The coffee here is good and the ambience is great if you enjoy the outside. I love this little market area. Especially during the mid year. My friend is a tea connoisseur and she says the tea here is good in her opinion. To me the coffee is definitely worth the visit.

    Best coffee in Tucson, hands down. Their lattes actually taste like coffee -- bold, strong, and well-balanced, even with milk. I always try a different seasonal latte when I visit, and they never disappoint. The service is friendly and consistent, and the outdoor area has a great vibe -- perfect for walking around or just sitting and chatting. A must-visit if you're serious about your coffee.

    Service was good and quick! The ambiance was nice and calming especially in the morning. I got an iced Cafe de Olla and buttermilk butter and jam.

    Delicious coffee drinks, gluten free treat options, fun vibes, beautiful, relaxing environment! Fast service. I had an oatmilk latte and a gluten free peanut butter cookie- both were delicious! Dog friendly patio

    The heart of the Annex in the morning! Great espresso, drip coffee, and bags to go. Their chai mix has the right blend of spice and depth. Tasty pastries (now on sale after 3PM) and gelato (for evening affogatos). Christina is a fab person and barista. Ample outdoor seating (no indoor seating at the Annex, something to keep in mind during the summer). Relaxed atmosphere. Accessible from the Loop and streetcar paths. They always have a big bowl of water out for pups.

    I came here early morning and the staff was super friendly. Great customer service. My latte was delicious I also tried the chia pudding and it's one of the best I've had. I also liked how cute their open space is. It's so inviting and full of plants and large windows which let natural light come in. The vibes are like mod 60s early 70s and very vintage super aesthetic. I feel like I've been transported to that time. I will definitely be coming again. 10:10 recommend

    Charming with good coffee by itself, along with delicious cafe miel and other sweet drinks, and an orange blossom jasmine tea latte I'm excited to order again. Can get busy on weekend mornings (especially after the run club gets out at 9ish). Some cute tables and chairs with misters in the summer. I've heard their biscuits are delicious and love the bogo on ice cream scoops right now. Also love that they support local mutual aid efforts by offering 15% off drinks if you donate a reusable water bottle to those who need it!

    Decibel is one of my absolute favorite coffee spots in Tucson. Nestled into the rustic yet chic atmosphere of the MSA Annex, Decibel serves a large assortment of pastries, baked goods, coffee, and even ice cream. Their affogatos are one of my ABSOLUTE favorite things to order, especially after a dinner in the area. Their coffee never disappoints and is made with the perfect ratio of coffee, milk, and flavoring. Definitely check them out if you haven't already!

    Coffee is great and the outside seating is comfortable and has plenty of shade. Service was friendly and welcoming.

    Apple pie
    Lydia D.

    Stopped by Decibel today to grab a coffee in our way out of the annex and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere was great, the baristas were dancing and making conversation and out drinks/food were delicious! I had an iced lavender oatmilk latte and it was just right! Sometimes the lavender can be overpowering, but this was just the right level. And my partner really enjoyed his apple pie. The prices are also reasonable too. Highly recommend!

My friend tells me they have a turkey sausage option for those who don't eat pork sausage. Our waitress was very friendly, kept our waters filled and checked in on us often. All our food was well prepared and there were plenty of left overs. My mocha cold brew was full of flavor and not too sweet with lots of that coffee flavor shining through.

It's a very casual place staffed by kind and welcoming students, and the food is genuinely good.

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and overall character of the place.

    These Pastries Should Probably Be Illegal…read more Prep & Pastry has been serving Tucson since 2014, and after eating here, I completely understand why they've built such a loyal following. This review is only about the pastries because the rest of their menu deserves an entirely separate review. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly light and airy everything was. Every bite felt fresh, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting wasn't overly sweet, and nothing tasted heavy or overwhelming. As I've gotten older, I've become much more conscious about what I eat. Surprisingly, these pastries never leave me with that "I shouldn't have done that" feeling. They're indulgent without being excessive. Now let's address the real issue... I always buy two. Not because I'm planning ahead. Because I know exactly what's going to happen if I don't. I'll eat one in the parking lot, sit there for a minute pretending I'm satisfied, then make what is almost certainly an illegal U-turn and head back inside for another. At this point, I believe the owners should stand trial in a savory Food Court of Law. Dun... Dun... "In the Criminal Food Justice System, pastry-based crimes are considered especially delicious. In Tucson, the dedicated foodies who investigate these sugary felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Pastry Unit. These are their stories." Prep & Pastry is guilty of making "I'll just have one" the biggest lie you'll tell yourself all week. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or simply because life is better with a great pastry, this place delivers. WIT Inspection Score: -- Truly Among the Best.

The line was really long, so we used the iPad they provide to place our order. We selected a matcha, but the iPad never gave us the option to choose between hot or iced. We assumed it would come iced, which is our mistake for assuming. When our order came out, the matcha was hot. We went inside and politely asked if there is any chance we could get it iced instead since there was no option on the iPad. The owner herself took the drink and remade it, which we appreciated, but her attitude toward us after was unnecessary. She told us that next time we should order directly with them because we just "wasted their cups" and so on. We apologized again and explained that we would have selected iced if the iPad had actually given us that option, but she didn't really acknowledge what we were saying. What made the experience more disappointing is that I work in coffee myself, so I understand what it's like when things get busy. I chose Barista Del Barrio out of all the coffee shops in the area specifically because I'm Latino and wanted to support a Latino-owned business. I even tipped when I placed the order on the iPad, so I was disappointed with how we were treated over something as simple as an ordering-system issue.

They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food.
