If you want to experience the original Decibel vibe, you have to hit up their spot at the MSA Annex. This isn't your typical cafe. It's a super cool walk-up window built into a rustic shipping container which is just awesome. I love the setup here. It’s all outdoors and you can grab a table in these semi-private nooks created by the massive container doors. Just so you know, there's no indoor seating here so it's all about enjoying that Tucson weather. The coffee is just as amazing as their Broadway location with fantastic espresso and a chai that has the perfect amount of spice. It's the heart of the Annex and a perfect stop for anyone exploring the area. You have to check it out.

What makes a specialty coffee roaster worth the drive to Tucson? Decibel Coffee Works might be the answer. Ugh, I might have to rewrite my entire list of top Arizona coffee shops because this place is a must-visit. The moment you walk in, lush plants hang overhead and the mid-century vibe hits you immediately. It's immaculate. The staff is welcoming and genuinely kind. They roast their own beans on a Diedrich roaster using high-quality sourced specialty coffee, and you can taste the difference in every single sip. The quality isn't an accident. Now, their Mavam under-counter espresso machine is a piece of art. This is the kind of equipment that signals serious dedication to craft. The baristas pull incredible shots. Their Cafe de Olla is a fantastic take on a Mexican classic, executed with precision. The specialty beans they use, like Sangre Negra, Monolith, Sharp End Blend, and single-origins like Ethiopia Yirgacheffe and Panama Boquete, are the same ones you can buy on their website if you want to brew at home. But here's where it gets interesting: their in-house baker, Nikki, creates vegan scones and homemade ice cream that pair perfectly with the coffee. One thing missing? A pour-over slow bar. If Decibel ever adds one, I might sell my Phoenix house and move to Tucson. Just saying. You will not be disappointed.

The Chai Spot is a truly special and magical social enterprise. It is a place designed to transport guests to Pakistan through vibrant colors, authentic decor, and traditional flavors. The shop was founded on a beautiful mission of peace building and connection, with a portion of profits supporting women and children in Pakistan. The atmosphere is cozy and serene! but I like to think about it as relaxing, & therapeutic as well! You can kick off your shoes and lounge on colorful cushions while sipping from an incredible menu of authentic and made from scratch chai. The menu features unique options like the creamy Butter Chai (Kashmiri) and the aromatic Sulaimani Chai. For coffee lovers, the shop offers a traditional Hot Turkish Coffee and the option to make any chai "dirty" with a shot of espresso. This is an essential Sedona experience for anyone seeking a taste of authentic culture and a moment of peace. The Chai Spot closes at 6:00PM daily. Allow extra time for finding parking as the the beautiful Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village can get really busy.
