We tried the almond croissant- very rich, and the best croissant we've tried in the US!; the rye chocolate chip cookie which was delicious; and the handpie (our favorite and a go-to here); and quiche- also very rich and hearty. All in all made a wonderful breakfast for a few of us to share, with delicious coffee and chai to go with.

Their espresso drinks are delicious and they have a seasonal drink menu. They sell bread, offer a CSA and during the holidays offer stellar holiday menu options ( I've ordered quiche there a few times and everyone enjoys it). Not a lot of seating indoors or outdoors and parking can be a bit tricky... but all worth it. Not to mention the friendly service and the smell of coffee and baked goods create a cozy atmosphere.

It's pretty big inside and there were quite a few people in there on their laptops, on dates, and just hanging out (on a late Wednesday morning!). Ordered their Baklava Latte (superb!). Also had their spinach and feta crosta as well as their pumpkin bread. Both were also decent but I'd definitely just stick to their coffee. It's located on the corner of a pretty run down shopping plaza. Bonus: they have a drive-thru

I didn't know this place existed until I happened to come across it on Yelp! I am Vietnamese and…read moregrew up eating Vietnamese meals, including delicious desserts. 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!!

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!

We so rarely encounter attitude in Tucson, that our experience at your coffee shop on Saturday…read morereally took us aback. 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

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.
