    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pumpkin Empanada

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    Welcoming coffee shop, plenty of place to work or read. Upstairs was a perfect place to hang out…read more Very very nice staff!

    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

Community support is on display! THE FOOD AND COCKTAILS AND Desserts is the true delight! Sangria is a must and the rotating drink creations are an explosion of flavor. A Carrotini?!?!?

    A charming brunch spot tucked into a 140-year-old building in Tucson…read more While exploring Tucson over the weekend, we stumbled upon this gem for Sunday brunch. Learning that the building is over 140 years old made the experience even more special. The moment we walked in, it felt like stepping into a cozy European café, colorful walls, artwork everywhere, an open garden patio, and an inviting open kitchen and dining space. The ambiance alone is a solid 10/10. The setup is casual: order at the counter, then find a table. They offer a wide variety of food and drinks, and the service was warm and welcoming. For drinks, we tried the sparkling lemonade, mimosa, and coffee all excellent choices. For food, we ordered the Market Skillet and French Toast. The French Toast was the star of the meal. The bread was soft and perfectly cooked, topped generously with pineapple, making every bite delicious. The Market Skillet, however, was a bit disappointing. It was heavily loaded with potatoes and lacked the balance of vegetables we were expecting. It ended up feeling like a plate of potatoes with very little else mixed in. Overall, it's a beautiful spot with a unique atmosphere, friendly service, and reasonable prices. We'd definitely return especially for the French Toast and the ambiance.
