Cartel Roasting Co 210 East Broadway Boulevard, Tucson, AZ 85701

"I had been meaning to try this place for a while and finally made it last week, and it was excellent. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud, with plenty of tables and couches. There is some nice local art; we even noticed a friend's work displayed there, although we had no idea it would be until we saw it. The barista was patient and helpful. I'll be moving to an apartment a block away soon and can't wait to make this my regular coffee place."

"Love being here; I find the environment too dark most of the time. I think that could be nice for some circumstances and for some people, however most of the time I find it frustrating that I can hardly see while I am there. The coffee is amazing and the cashew milk is really good too... I wish we could get almond milk! but alternative milk people have to take what they can get. Besides the lighting, the environment is great; spacious with tons of places to sit. The food is pretty good, though I can't eat most of it because most of it is sugary treats. They are beautiful though and I can see people enjoying them regularly, so I'd say it's a win there. Parking is hard so I suggest parking in the street or around back and walking in from the back. Love the staff; always friendly and sweet."

"Well-decorated coffee shop with a relaxed and enjoyable ambiance. Good coffee, although with limited food options when the pizzeria is closed."

"An excellent place to relax with an espresso served correctly. The downtown location makes it convenient to nearby attractions."

"Stopped in this location twice while in town . Sam made my drink on both visits and each time they were on point! . I was able to watch him as he prepared the espresso and the attention to detail is amazing. You can tell he actually enjoys what he is doing .The overall feel of this place is very pleasant and laid back and the staff is very friendly."
