    Cafe De Olla
    Rey F.

    Cool coffee shop located in the Annex. Conveniently close to the bike trail making it a great stop after a ride, walk, or run. You order at a walk up window and there are tables and chairs outside where you can sit and enjoy your drink. No issues with the service. I ordered a cafe de olla, which was good. They also have a small selection of pastries to go with your coffee.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Let's turn the decibel all the way up because this coffee spot will give you that lighting jolt that you will need to get your day started. And that is what we did 3 mornings in a row while visiting Tucson from New Jersey. I was first introduced to the Golden Chai by a Yelper in L.A. Since then I have always been on the lookout for this drink. I was so excited to see it on the menu. Made with Chai Tea spices, turmeric, natural honey, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves, I love the spicy kick it gives you at the back of the throat. It also has lots of health benefits so all the more reason to order this yummy latte. And that's not the best part, their sweet and savory scones are frickin yummy. Took me one second to choose their Garden Veggie Cream Cheese one. Me: baby, do you want any scones? Son: no, just coffee for me. He ended up eating 3/4 of the scone. But that's okay because I kept getting it every time I came back. Also got to try their Blueberry Earl Grey scone and it was loaded with blueberries. Just the way I like it. Lots of cool outdoor seating. I dig the industrial decor. There are a few eating joints around as well but they seem to open much later in the day. Friendly service.

There is a 5 inch step to get into the shop for wheel chair users to consider. But evidently they have a side entrance ramp to help out. After that there are ramps to the rest of the shop including to the restroom. It has a beautiful look with beamed ceilings and a large coffee bar. The walks are old red brick that is very cool, "warehouse looking". I was able to charge my phone sitting at a perimeter bar. They have one outside table for two but inside have bars, tables, couches and high tops. I ordered an iced Americano with cold foam and a chocolate chunk cookie. Both were good. There was not much selection of baked items when I was there in the afternoon. There are two unmarked restrooms so just pick one I guess. The workers were helpful but did not wish to be included in the review. The company promotes they are community owned. As I understand this they are incorporated and selling shares to the public. On a different scale Tesla is community owned because it sells shares to the world. Cartel sold the shares through crowdfunding rather than traditional IPO so you won't find it on NYSE and it would be less liquid in my opinion. This makes it more "community " I suppose. I'll pass on "ownership" but I think this is a good place to grab a coffee.

    We so rarely encounter attitude in Tucson, that our experience at your coffee shop on Saturday…read morereally took us aback. 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

When I finally moved, I thought the hardest part would be adding 30 minutes to my commute. It wasn't. It was losing that daily routine of walking into a place that feels so real and personal. Talega isn't just a coffee shop. It feels intimate in a way that's hard to find now. You can tell Tyler & Rene actually care. Not just about the coffee, but about the people who come in and the community around them. Nothing about it feels transactional. You're remembered, conversations matter, and it feels grounded in something genuine. Their seasonal drinks are what really set them apart. They are not cheap grabs for attention or copies of whatever is trending online. The ideas feel inspired and intentional. (Their maize latte and miso latte were perfect) You can tell there is real thought behind what they put on the menu. It reflects a level of care for the craft that is especially rare. It's been incredible to watch how far they've come since they started. They've grown without losing what makes them special, which is not easy to do. I don't live next door anymore, but I will never stop being a regular and I will never stop drinking the Maize latte (I literally dream about it).

The ambiance alone is a solid 10/10. The setup is casual: order at the counter, then find a table. They offer a wide variety of food and drinks, and the service was warm and welcoming. For drinks, we tried the sparkling lemonade, mimosa, and coffee all excellent choices. For food, we ordered the Market Skillet and French Toast. The French Toast was the star of the meal. The bread was soft and perfectly cooked, topped generously with pineapple, making every bite delicious. The Market Skillet, however, was a bit disappointing. It was heavily loaded with potatoes and lacked the balance of vegetables we were expecting. It ended up feeling like a plate of potatoes with very little else mixed in. Overall, it's a beautiful spot with a unique atmosphere, friendly service, and reasonable prices. We'd definitely return especially for the French Toast and the ambiance.
