Very vegan friendly, which we love to see, and apparently Wednesdays are a thing with their vegan English muffin sourdough drop. Say less, I'll be back. Super cute, super vibey, and somehow sitting in the middle of nowhere but also exactly where you want to be. If you know, you know.

Cardamom iced latte and honey lavender iced lattes were so yummy and made with house made syrups! We tried the Apricot almond pastry (the folks behind us were devastated we took the last one) and it had a soft, tangy apricot filling, and crunchy almond slices. Small on the inside when there is a rush, but both seating and bar seats were available. In the summer, try to snag an outside table under the shady tree! Fun find for us and we'll definitely be back for some fresh sourdough and focaccia!

Cafe con Leche is located in the American Eat Co. food hall. The location opened promptly 8 am. An employee of Cafe con Leche greeted my co-workers and I with positive vibes. I immediately ordered a 16 oz Cafe con Leche, however the location was out of their house coffee. I was disappointed to say the least, but I was given multiple recommendations for other menu items to try. I ended up trying the Cubano Latte, which was flavorsome. It's definitely worth trying. The ambience of the location is chill. I love the colors and the display of the business. I absolutely plan to visit this location again the next time that I am in Tucson. I have to try the Cafe con Leche; it's a thing for me.

I'm so happy to have found this place ! You order at the counter and there is plenty of seating. I ordered the tri-color Vietnamese dessert called Chè Ba Mau, which translates literally to tri-color dessert. Chè is a traditional category of Vietnamese desserts that can range from sweet soups to puddings, and it often combines various beans, jellies, and fruits with coconut milk and shaved ice, traditionally. This particular one here consists of coconut milk, pandan agar jelly, red beans, and water chestnut coated in tapioca. The hubby ordered the grass jelly and coconut milk dessert. The grass jelly has a mild herbal depth and it is balanced beautifully by the smooth, lightly sweet coconut milk. Both are equally refreshing and sweet, with quality ingredients that really make it satisfying on a hot Tucson day. I absolutely will be returning here for future Vietnamese desserts!!

I usually only come for the lunch offerings, but am always tempted by their coffee and pastry items, which others in my group always enjoy. I love the bulgogi and the chicken options. If you need anything specialized, the staff are always open and friendly to guide or modify what they can on the menu items. The wait is never long. There is a decent but small seating area, and most people come to pickup to go. It is located in the dense downtown and parking can be an issue, but coming downtown means exploring and that makes this a good spot to visit. Love the food, people and location.

Unfortunately, our experience at Barista Del Barrio was disappointing, mainly because of how a…read moresimple issue with our order was handled. 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.

Cartel Roasting has several store fronts throughout AZ and is opening up in LA soon. While that sounds corporate, the space and the vibe in downtown Tucson is 100% local and community. In fact, they are becoming a community-owned coffee shop. The space has all the features of a cool downtown spot. Exposed brick, lots of local art, plenty of seating, and two of my favs: the bike wheel sculpture and the coffee tables. The staff greeted me as soon as I stepped in the door even though they were busy making orders. They promptly took my order and after a few minutes my name was called. The presentation was perfect. A glass of espresso with a nice head and a taller glass of sparkling. The espresso had a nice acidity and bitterness, a bit more than the other two local spots I tried, but I liked it. Also, perfect temperature. I didn't try a pastry, but they had several on offer from local bakeries. Nothing frozen.
