    Merry mint mocha tea
    Megan M.

    Love the convenience of a drive through and delicious, refreshing tea. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming!

    Talisa M.

    We stopped by here for some vegan hot chocolates because we absolutely love when these are available! Service is always great and we often visit them at the market on Sundays. It an easy drive through or walk up experience with several drinks from hot to cold and bubbly to still , so very versatile and from what we've had, all great.

    I went to a stand at the Summer Nights farmers market thing they had downtown and Transit Tea did not disappoint. The mint tea with luminous was absolutely refreshing for a little no caffeine moment! The staff was super nice, despite the rush we got our drink super quick. And with all the menu options- I will be going back to them!

    Love the design!

    I'm not usually in close proximity to this business, but wow, from now on anytime I'm slightly near here, I must make a stop. The iced vanilla matcha I got was so incredibly delicious. I instantly wished I had gotten a large. Just so creamy and perfect. I got my daughter a strawberry lemonade which she absolutely loved. I can also attest that it was so good. I got my husband an iced hibiscus arroyo. He said it was too spicy for him but I tried it and thought it was just right--just maybe not what he had been looking for. I would say a downside of this place is that there's no interior to sit and enjoy your delicious drink. It's walk up or drive thru only. Service was friendly and super fast. I can't wait to go back!

    The best drink spot in Tucson! Cranberry and peach - plus add sparkling fizzy magic - magnificent!

    Banana Matcha

    Ordered on DoorDash got them delivered perfectly. They have a little tamper evidence sticker which is really cool and I appreciate that it's safe and secured. I did not know what to order so I ordered the Bayou large tea and the banana nut Matcha the banana nut Matcha 10 out of 10.

    Arroyo sparkling white tea

    I love transit tea! This time around I tried a sparkling tea soda with white tea base and sugar free "Arroyo" flavor, which is their prickly pear. You can pick which tea you want (black, green, white, hibiscus, etc) and the type of drink- hot, cold, sparkling, or snow. I love the customizations and variety offered here. During the summer months we tend to get the soda and the snow cone options frequently, but during cooler months their chai teas and London fogs are great as well! I noticed that they have a new chai soda on the menu, I'll be back to try that.

    When we came here a few years ago, the menu was completely different. At that time, we fell in love with Transit tea and came multiple times. Now, the descriptions are not that descriptive and make the drinks sound less interesting. Because of this, I personally found the menu was not very helpful. It feels like they just used words that sound nice but don't mean very much, does that make sense? Still nice, but my elderly in laws liked it less compared to prior years because they felt the menu was trying to be too cool. I wish I had a picture of the older menu so I could show you. I personally have to agree with them. Before, I would have given it 5/5 stars and taken guests here but now I don't know - it was a different experience. I personally tried the green tea base with the tiger cola which is Transit's classic cola. I also got to try the hibiscus base with Luminous, which is the blueberry lemon squeeze. The hibiscus based drink was more interesting but frankly the overwhelming flavor was hibiscus (no big deal, we love hibiscus) and not so much the other flavors.

    Rainforest black tea
    Chelsea J.

    This was my first time at this location to use my Tucson Foodie coupon. I absolutely love this place and you can't miss their bright colorful building! The menu is simple and straightforward and the tea is hard to beat. I got my usual, rainforest black tea. They even have a drive thru with friendly, fast service!

    I've had tea from here at several nonprofit fundraising events, but never actually stopped by the store. Because the weather was relatively reasonable, we decided to give it a shot. And what a delightful in the place they were so welcoming, and even offered to shaved ice to my Poodle. I'll definitely be back.

    Just tried their new chai soda and omg it's my new favorite. My husband also got the dirty chai which was fantastic. I love that they always roll out new drinks to try and that the drive thru moves at a good pace! The staff are always friendly and prompt with service.

    Transit Tea is a terrific Tucson spot! Great pickup for a tasty bev. I've stopped by a few times for an afternoon tea and am always pleased with the friendly service and wonderful iced beverages. Today I ordered a medium black iced tea with berry flavor: North Star. It's perfectly refreshing but I have to limit myself to not drink it so fast Lol 10/10 for this tea house!!

    Chai latte with oat milk
    Gretchen P.

    So many tasty tea and tea latte options. Not usually a tea fan but I'm converted! I've loved the maple hazelnut latte, lavender matcha and different chais I've tried. Will absolutely be back, and recommend downloading their app for deals! Sweet friendly baristas in the drive through as well (see note on the lid)

I was after something basic, my usual of a cold brew with some variety of flavor and almond milk. Sadly, they did not have any sugar free flavorings beyond matcha, which I was not interested in, so I went for half sweet salted caramel with almond milk. I went with a large cold brew and with the add-ins, it came to around $5, which is a solid price! Sadly, the iced coffee was not good. It was borderline sour, which means it had been hanging out for a bit too long. The flavoring and milk couldn't even mask it and I could only stomach about half of it before calling it a day. Additionally, service was "bleh". Both baristas I encountered were low energy and just odd vibes for a cute local coffee shop. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, as it sounds like their more complex house drinks are a bit more exciting. Now I know, and I wouldn't mind giving them a second go when I find myself back in the area. But until then, solid 2.5 for me.

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.

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
