Love the location/ambiance of this place! I ordered an iced lavender oatmilk latte and was happy to be able to have it in a glass! The music is at a good volume to be able to still read/work/chat and the building itself is very cool. I will be back! This was my first time! read more

With a decor that leans on that rustic urban, the construction nearby certainly cloaked the entrance to this local coffee roastery and shop. If the maddening construction around Tucson continues, know that you need only travel south down 6th Ave to the intersection at 6th St before reaching the cul-de-sac. The coffee shop is on the right hand corner. For coffee beverages, they possessed a diverse menu, some items pulling from the richness of the region's culture. The Mole Dulce Latte ($5) caught my attention, on that note. Such a peculiar latte possessing so much depth, thanks to the richness of the Oaxacan chocolate and spices. It was almost a mocha but not as heavy as one. I was a little sad that they no longer served any hot breakfast items although their pastries did tease from within the glass display case. I could not to say to the Blue Corn Scone and it did not disappoint. Slight nuttiness to a cornmeal-like pastry that provided such comfort. I also ordered a Cold Brew for later, but sad that my request for the Chiltepin was not conveyed. The Cold Brew was solid, but somewhat lacking in depth. Regardless, I love these local shops and the contentment provided in products that are made with so much thought and care. read more

I always like to find local coffee shops whenever I'm out and about. I was done with an appointment, and I looked up the nearest coffee shop to me, and this one was only half a mile away. From the second, I walked in to when I left with my beverage, the ambience of the whole coffee shop was so unique. I loved all the decorations on the walls and the music playing. It was just a really nice and calm place to come for a cup of coffee. I got the brown sugar and sage iced latte with half-and-half and it was absolutely delicious. It was really close to closing, so I ordered my coffee and left after I was done, but the barista taking my order and then creating my beverage was so kind and accommodating, and I will most definitely be back read more

Super cute coffee shop with outdoor and indoor seating! I love the outdoor seating because you can people watch and enjoy your coffee. I have been here before and this time I ordered the Pineapple espresso soda! I noticed that they had 3 different menus. This drink was listed on the summer menu and caught my attention. First sip at a glance: Explosion of flavors in your mouth. It was great in my opinion because I love both coffee and pineapple. Highly recommend this coffee shop! read more

Driving through this city, I was looking for a good espresso pick-me up. Picking a random coffee shop, this brought us to seemingly random street with a lot of construction nearby. Their sign kind of blends in with the construction and the rest of the street, but when you go inside, the inviting aroma of coffee has you forgetting everything outside. If you're into the industrial look, you'll enjoy the ambience as well. The barista was friendly and answered my questions on the seasonal drinks (the cardamom lavender was amazing with just the right amount of spice), as well as on the pastries. I was told they bake their own pastries, and wow, the chocolate chocolate chip cookie was perfect! It was a soft cookie, with a good crunch on the outer rim. For soft cookie lovers, this is a must try (and I'm not even a sweet tooth). They do roast and sell their own coffee, along with other cute merch (mugs, baking goods, growlers), and the baristas are knowledgable and can help you with choosing something for your own home brewing. Overall, a great place I would revisit. read more

It had been a criminally long time since I'd been to Exo, so when a friend walked into my house with a drink from there and I felt a surge of envy, I knew I needed to go back ASAP. Oh, am I glad I did. I got a Mole Dulce Latte (think of it like a mocha's less sweet, spicier cousin) and a pumpkin scone. Both were delicious. The scone was definitely on the sweeter side, but it worked well with the complex flavor and subtle bitterness of the latte. If you like coffee and chocolate, but find most mochas too sweet -- as I often do -- I enthusiastically recommend this unique drink. The staff were super friendly, chatting and making jokes while I ordered and waited for my drink, which felt very warm and welcoming. It's such a lovely space, too! I love those big windows. Can't wait to go back regularly, now that it's back on my radar! read more

I don't understand why this place is not raved about?! Um hello they have loose leaf teas honey lavender and cold cold brew and just overall everything you would want and it's all so good. Sure it's hard to get here cause of parking but don't worry there's parking on the side of the building and also across the way! Just come here and try something you won't be disappointed. Everyone is greeted with a smile and it's similarly priced to Starbucks so no worries there. It's a cute place for a study session if you are a student or work remote and want out of the house. read more

Then when asked if they have croissants she said no you can see if you look in here what we have with a whole attitude. read more

Stopped by this coffee shop for some fuel after visiting Seguro National Park. Being a roaster, I expect great tasting coffee and Exo was on point. I ordered my go to: iced latte. FYI: One size only.

I really like Exo. I agree with Michael P that it's a PLEASANT industrial reclaimed wood and brick atmosphere (I promise, in a good way). I am not exactly young and I felt comfortable in this hip coffee shop and roaster with its nice mix of patrons and welcoming atmosphere. Add to that the really high quality coffee, with some great local options like chiltepin and local honey latte and mole and chocolate. Bottom line is they do the basic things incredibly well and do the add-on things even better. Loved the iced latte, the local honey iced latte, the cold brew (one of the best cold brews in the city, a city full of great coffee) especially, because it's not too strong or off-putting with bitterness, you really do taste the coffee flavor. Baristas are approachable and pleasant, like the bar area in the rear, and the tables are comfortable. The accessories area has all I need - simple syrup and half and half. And they use the true paper straws, I like that. The roaster is for real. Talk about fresh! Still haven't eaten here, which is a shame given how great the food looks, and how locally sourced everything is, let alone the options for vegans and gluten-free diets in terms of baked goods, plus the breakfast staples (eggs and meat). Really enjoy coming to this place when I'm anywhere near downtown and it is becoming a reason to go downtown in the first place. read more

Coffee oh coffee the sparkle of my eye. As long as it's not Starbucks you'll find me drawn to the, good local roasted coffee and eclectic, cute, rustic red brick and metal buildings like a moth to fire! What a wonderful quaint place to grab a cappuccino sit and enjoy the morning. I was sad there wasn't any baked goods to much on with my cappuccino but even so it was a wonderful morning to sip on this delicious espresso. This particular morning they were roasting beans. The burnt unique smell of beans is so alluring to me. It's a cute little place to sit and ponder life or get some work in. It isn't extremely quiet as there is music in the background, the sounds of roasting and the bustle of people coming in to order. But even so if you're lucky to get a seat it's a great place to get some work done. read more

I completely XO Exo coffee. The coffee shop is located in an old brick building. The uniqueness and charm of the coffee was shop was preserved despite its renovation.

Good coffee shop in the Tucson Art District. I ordered The Special with oat milk. As promised, it's a much less sweet take on a traditional mocha, which is delicious. I like a heavier coffee flavor and should have added an extra shot but overall a very smooth, not too sweet morning pick me up. I love the old warehouse with aged brick walls and old school vibes. People were scattered around the small shop working and studying. The baristas were friendly and made a beautiful beverage in minutes. Finding this location was difficult for a first timer as there is so much construction going on in the area. The GPS kept trying to take us down closed roads. Glad we finally made it... will definitely be back next time passing through Tucson. read more

Am I in Portland or Tucson? I travel to Portland 3-4 times per year to visit family and have had coffee at some of the best places there, and Exo equals my Oregon experiences. A little more laid back than PDX, and with unique AZ flavors. The space is very nice, as long as you are OK with the trains thundering by. Personally, I love the white noise. Do walk through to the back sitting area, very comfortable, spacious, and the high ceilings are inviting. I had the dulce mole latte. See photo below. It is to die for. As the name suggests, it is dulce - it doesn't scream at you when you sip, it's very smooth. But the flavors... it took a long time for the barista to prepare this beverage, but I was surprised by how reasonable the prices were considering the labor involved. I'm going to stop and buy a bag of beans on my way out the door, I'll let you know how that plays out. read more

So the latest best,(arguably), coffee in each state list has come out again and much to my good fortune the best in AZ is located in Tucson which is all the reason I need to take a road trip. The LAZatte tour continues today at EXO, voted best in AZ for 2022 dethroning LUX in Phoenix. The ambience here is delightfully steam punkish and the aroma upon entering nirvana for a coffee lover. Freshly roasting beans twirl in a dance of heat and oxygen to create an invisible, but oh so persuasive scented steam map to espresso ecstasy. It's absolutely delicious and kicking in hard. No hint of bitterness, just a deep, dark rich flavor with an endorphin inducing tango inviting your tastebuds to do the dance of love. In short,(yes, WAY too late now), I get the award, well deserved, we'll worth the drive and we'll worth doubling up on if you are lucky enough to find yourself in Tucson. read more

Updated review, as my prior one was from my early days in Tucson. I still stand by my prior statement, Exo Roast Co. is EXO-cellent. Their attention to details, and precision in all they do does not go unnoticed. Exo's select coffee menu with interesting seasonal drinks ensures what they do make, they do incredibly well. This coffee shop has all of the cool and funky downtown feels, with artsy staff, hardwork floors, and is aesthetic AF. The conjoining bar area in the back, which often hosts live musics and fun events, is a huge win for me. They also have an awesome selection of merch, I am a big fan of their beige tshirt that is dyed with coffee grains -- 10/10 idea! Thanks to Amy and the Exo staff for being amazing. Want to feel like a cool local? Hang at Exo, you're welcome. read more

Exo is a place for coffee lovers! It's truly top notch. They have probably the best, most flavorful and robust, cold brew that I've ever had. I basically keep going back to Exo just for it! It's absolutely perfect...I just wish I could have a giant cup of it at once! I've also had a mocha, which was lightly sweet and perfectly chocolatey, and a lot of regular brewed coffee which is smooth and very easy to drink, even for people who aren't really coffee drinkers. The location is kinda small, so seating can be a headache on really busy times. The building is neat, though, and quite quaint. I love being in the older, historic buildings around town. It's a perfect place to enjoy some coffee. The staff has been hit or miss for me -- sometimes super knowledgable and helpful, other times you'll barely hear their voice. No matter, I'm here for the coffee, mostly! I think their hours are a bit limiting -- they close way too early, especially on weekends, so I often can't stop in when I want to. Everyone who enjoys coffee absolutely needs to give Exo Roast a try. The coffee is simply fantastic! read more
