    I got an iced vanilla cinnamon latte. The people working were patient and friendly. The space was beautiful and luckily there was parallel parking across the street. I hate paying for parking but what can you do? The latte just wasn't a for me and there were few options for flavors but I drank it all. :)

    The Vibe

    Am I in Pasadena, California? This spot screams SoCal!! It is now my #1 favorite coffee place in Tucson. It's located in a lovely neighborhood with lush trees and gorgeous homes. The interior vibes is very L.A. My son ordered the Shaken Hojicha and the La Rosa (peanut & honey) latte caught my eye. OMG there were peanut butter bits in the drink. So sipping yummy! The baristas here ROCK!! I can never say no to a jalapeno & cheddar scone. It has a nice kick to it and goes perfectly with your cup of joe. You know the coffee here is excellent when their hours are 6:30 to 11:30am Wed-Sun. (Closed Mondays & Tuesdays).

    Great coffee shop in downtown! A little off the beaten path. In a nice quiet part of town. Really good drinks and awesome outdoor space! With tons of seating options to your liking. I ordered an orange mocha chilpetin oatmilk ice latte & it was delicious. Would recommend!

    A cute and very unique coffee shop in the heat of downtown directly across the children's museum. The owners are super friendly and welcoming. There is some seating inside but it's more on the smaller side. They do offer some additional seating outside which is a cute patio area with lots of shade. The prices are fair and the coffee taste amazing. I tried the vanilla oatmilk latte and it was pretty tasty.

    Made with TLC! The La Rosa Latte

    Came for coffee at 7:30 am when they opened. A small coffee counter with seating. The two baristas were awesome. A bright and airy interior with a shared courtyard to sit outside. A modest curated menu and a pastry or two available. I ordered lemonade and my hubby one of their signature drinks the la Rosa; a peanut drink, to which espresso is added. I love the space and the people. I recommend giving it a try.

    Service here is great! The two gentleman working here this morning were absolutely wonderful to chat with and even though they couldn't make my usual trendy white mocha they did talk me into a La Rosa Latte which is Espresso, Sweet Peanuts, and Honey, and it was so delicious. Definitely 5 stars all the way around.

    My cappuccino

    I walked in with my dog Zana, a friendly white GSD. I ordered a simple cappuccino which I flavored with their vanilla sugar. It came in an 8-ounce paper cup. Coffee was a mild roast without bitterness. We sat inside, relaxing to indie music, although I could have sat outside with the 75F temperature as outdoor seating is spacious and shaded. Service was fast and very friendly. Wifi is provided by the bar next door. Simply ask for the password.

    Pumpkin Empanada
    Kate S.

    The atmosphere was adorable with a large outdoor patio space. Not very crowded at all. Drink choices were somewhat limited. A few food items were available, but I would have appreciated more. The empanada would have also tasted better if it was warmed up. Warning: the coffee is STRONG.

    Great little coffee shop close to the children's museum. Great vibe inside nice couch. Decent amount of seating really good Chi latte. Service was instantaneous, which was good cause I really could use something to drink and it was delicious.

    This was such a lovely spot and experience! We went for a Sunday morning coffee and were warmly greeted with quick service and delicious lattes. The espresso is roasty and flavorful and the folks working were notably kind and attentive. The atmosphere is also really calm and inviting. We don't usually stay to drink our coffee in the cafe, but felt compelled to stay awhile and enjoy the calm vibes here. We'll definitely be back and are excited to support this coffee shop!

    Talega has been highly recommended, and I can see why--it's a lovely spot with a friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, perfect for grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down to chat. However, I did find the seating to be a bit uncomfortable, and the coffee flavor didn't quite meet my expectations considering the price. Still, it's a decent place to stop by if you're in the area but I'm not considering in returning.

    Cute interior - extended menu options outside the main door/on the counter
    Heather M.

    I was very excited to visit this coffee shop that popped up recently (I believe they have been at this location 7 months now)! It is in the Bring's building and has a truck and sign outside to clearly mark the entrance. There is a full menu right outside the door to check before you walk in. They had some good options and we tried the La Rosa Latte (espresso, sweet peanut, raw AZ honey, cinnamon)! It was so yummy - kind of like a breakfast of coffee and honey/PB toast all in one! The peanut flavor wasn't overpowering and it's a unique flavor profile! There were some indoor and outside seating areas for visiting or working if you don't want to just grab and go. The baristas were friendly and we will definitely be back soon for another La Rosa and more!

    See all

    Always a great stop in whether I'm staying longer or just a quick drop by.

    Presta Coffee Roasters is a very cool, modern spot with a bike-inspired theme and a minimalist,…read moreindustrial aesthetic. It doesn't look like a traditional coffee shop from the outside -- you walk around a wall to get in -- but once you're inside, the space feels intentional and curated. There's some indoor seating with small couches and desks, and I brought my laptop, though I went too close to closing to get much work done. They also have outdoor seating with umbrellas, which is comfortable in the winter, though it would probably be warm in the summer since it's not fully covered. The coffee is very good and definitely leans into the craft-coffee vibe. Drinks come in one size, and when I once asked for whipped cream, they let me know they don't carry it -- which actually made me laugh because it fits the whole minimalist, elevated style of the place. It's just that kind of spot. Prices are a bit higher than typical coffee shops, but the quality and aesthetic reflect that. If you like modern design, curated spaces, and excellent coffee, Presta is a great stop.

The staff was nice and they explained everything they had, which is a lot. I opted for their cold brew but I think their matcha is where it's at. I never had matcha but everyone in there were ordering them and they looked fantastic. They were made to order which I know is a good thing. The coffee was good I would order again but it wasn't life changing. What was amazing beyond belief was their pastries, they said they were all made fresh daily and they had everything from sweet to savory and all looked great. A few things that caught my eye specifically were their Egg Tarts, Custard Donuts, and their Kanafeh. I opted for the Kanafeh because you don't see this anywhere really. The Kanafeh was all that it should be. It was crispy, had a mild cheese in the center and the bottom was soaked with a honey syrup. It was topped with pistachios which added some salt to it and some crunch. I would go back just for this. I think this place is a must stop!
