Pretty design

Well, EXO, you let me down. My girlfriend and I came here because we like the ambience and I usually... Usually love my Matcha latte. But today there was one barista - - male - - working who had a definite low affect about him that was not welcoming our friendly. My girlfriend noticed as well and both of us received drinks that were not the best. She had a prickly pear tea and said it tasted like it had been sitting there all day. My Matcha was weak and underwhelming for almost 6 bucks. Yes I will give them a try again, but for that kind of money I can make my own at home unfortunately.

This place never disappoints! The coffee drinks are absolutely amazing and I love that the syrup are made in house. Also, the pastries are unique and beyond delicious. The staff members are friendly and knowledgeable. The vibes are chill here with many separated rooms to relax and sip your drink. There is also a cute side patio enclosed with an open roof. This is my first stop every time I visit Tucson. Thanks for being amazing!

A coffee shop inside of a beautifully curated space that is covered by art, antique furniture typewriters for sale along with some other options of merchandise goods. Crafted coffee drinks like miso caramel & mole mocha. Delicious. Service was skilled and decently helpful/friendly. I am excited to visit again

Cocktail and Beer Menu

I came here for cocktails last night since they are only doing the mezcal tastings on the first Thursday of each month this summer. The space is super cute. It's a historic house that kind of also looks like an old school. You can choose which room to sit in or sit outside on the patio. I thought the green corn tamales were both too sweet and salty. I will try the chicken tamales next time. I wasn't a fan of the Delphine cocktail. The Paloma Rosada was very complex and an interesting blend of flavors. I really liked it at first but by the end the cinnamon was overpowering. I think next time I would order this light on the cinnamon. I liked the Hibiscus Margarita light on the spicy bitters.

This is a must-do when you're in Tucson. I was there for the weekend and found it on the last day I was there, which was a tragedy because I would have gone every single day! The coffee is so good - I had an iced honey latte. The vibes and decor of the coffee shop are immaculate. I would love to work from here! The service was great - there was a line, but they went through it quickly and my latte was made right after I ordered it, maybe a minute of wait time!

My favorite shop in town. Sitting outside on a summer morning with a macchiato is peak Tucson.

First visit! Outside this stand alone

I've been a fan of Exo for years, just yesterday I learned there is a second location. Despite already getting coffee, I convinced my hubby to go to a third coffee spot before 8:30 am. I usually get their chiltepin cold brew since it's my all time favorite, but they usually have a special and today I got the mesquite cold brew. In Tucson in July the mesquite trees of the Sonoran Desert produce beans that drop with the coming of monsoon season. If one collects the beans and dries them, they can be used to make tea, broth or syrup. I love the taste! What a Tucson treasure! This spot has lots of seating to read or chat. A great quiet coffee spot walking distance from the Tucson Convention Center.

That somber vibe where no one is smiling and everyone looks like they are in a terrible mood first thing in the morning is definitely not for me. Mesquite cold brew was decent but nothing too special. Service was quick so we were able to leave even quicker.

Exo Roast is a cozy, hidden gem with great hot mocha lattes. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a quiet break. Definitely one of my go-to places for a comforting coffee.

Holy Focaccia from my market-view seat
Jane R.

I really enjoyed coming Downtown for a visit (my first!) to Exo Roast and their Spring Market, but it was tight, tight, tight inside the coffee bar and inside the outdoor patio market of three vendors! After I bought my mega Holy Focaccia pre order and got my Catherine Eyde fix, I stopped inside for a Chai and an empanada, only my Chai took so long to get, I thought for sure they'd called me and I just spaced. No. They just didn't fill my order. When I finally asked, the nonchalance I received was quite a surprise, surpassed only by the tasteless Chai that was mostly milk. It was a busy Saturday and they are crowded behind the bar and working hard, but a better system is in order. Andy maybe place the vendors out front next time...IMHO

We came here for the first time for coffee this week, previous visits had all been for mescal. Love the outdoor patio (pictured) on a beautiful Tucson afternoon. I had a mocha, it was artfully prepared.

Staff unwelcoming and rude. It's a shame since the space is very nice and the menu is unique.

If Tucson has a heartbeat, part of it lives inside Talega Coffee Roasters…read more I used to live next door, and honestly, they were the only thing keeping me in Armory Park as long as I stayed. 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).

Very cool little coffee shop with local art on the walls and good music playing. Good people…read morerunning this place. Coffee was excellent! I had one of the Spring 2026 specialty iced lattes, the Sumac Floral Bloom. It had lemongrass, lavender florals, with a sumac finish. It was unique, interesting, and delicious without being too sweet or overpowering the espresso. Milk options were whole or oat. They have WiFi but I didn't use it.
