    Transit tea! Decent. Nice staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wish they had Internet for people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]No indoors and no bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a Matcha sugar-free vanilla latte. It wasn't hot enough for me, but I went ahead and asked for a glass of ice and poured it over myself, and it was still strong enough to enjoy. My friend had regular black tea and the price was cheaper than most other places at $2.75. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just wish they had a place to sit indoors then this place would really earn my five star review.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

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

    Annoyed that I haven't visited Transit Tea sooner! We used the drive-thru, which was quick and it gave us enough time to figure out what we wanted. We really liked the endless combinations but also the fact that we could choose a drink that someone had already created. We ended up going with the raga chai (hot) and bayou (carbonated). Both were incredibly delicious, Raga was a flavorful spicy golden milk style drink. Perfectly balanced. And bayou sort of reminded me of an Italian soda. So good. We will 100% be back again and again and again.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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.

    This was my first time at this location to use my Tucson Foodie coupon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I absolutely love this place and you can't miss their bright colorful building![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    Banana Matcha
    MJ M.

    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.

    Used to love it here but now you have to add cold foam to your matcha even tho the picture shows the cold foam. I also loved coming here because it was cheaper than brucha but now it's the same price! Drinks are still good but I think they should go back to how it was. Pretty sad :(

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

The location has a beautiful southwestern chic vibe. I love the duality of having a coffee shop/bakery and bar/full dinner -- you can visit any time of day depending on what you're craving. Plus they have a cold fridge, small grocery section, and local artist goodies -- all perfect for getting a desert-themed gift or unique treat for someone. They have so many great alcoholic drink options and said they would be adding mocktails soon. I went with a 'tried but true' dirty gin martini and tried the truffle fries and chips (both gluten free). I'm super excited to come back and try their girl dinner. I also want to thank the servers, chef, and owners for being so kind to my group. We had a coloring night where we brought our coloring books and supplies and they didn't bat an eye and made us feel very welcomed especially with all our questions about their menu!

    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
