A great spot for coffee / pastries and to meet with friends. A little hideaway from the busyness of life!

Meredith Glaubach

Really great energy. The building is gorgeous, and it’s a lovely place to bring out of town visitors or catch up with friends. I love that they have shrubs for folks who aren’t coffee inclined.

In from out of town. Ubered across town for this joint to find a paper sign saying they were closed. Who is closed on a Friday at 8p Gem show weekend with no updates on socials or websites. Fail.

Support local business. Will update when I get in, or delete if I find out this joint was closed for social justice reasons

Great bar in beautiful old house with extensive menu of specialty cocktails based on agave based liquors and mezcal. Coffee house by day. Beautiful wood ceilings.

Bar Crisol exceeded my expectations and is such a great find for Mezcal lovers. I had a delicious herbal cocktail with creosote that I will dream about! There are a couple of cozy living areas and a patio, the whole bar has such a relaxed, chill vibe. I'm so glad we checked this spot out, and can't wait to go back.

My favorite place north of San Miguel de Allende for late night mezcal drinks with friends.

This is a lovely little local bar. Very welcoming and casual environment. We went right when they opened and had one of the seating rooms all to ourselves. We were catching up with friends and it was easy to have a conversation. The Margarita happy hour was perfect in taste and price. Evidently owners go to Mexico and source their tequila and mezcal regularly. I only marked them a little lower on food because they have a small menu, but frankly that isn't why you should go. Bartender took great care in mixing his amazing drinks. Definite pride in what he was making. We tried several of their signature cocktails and weren't disappointed in any of them. If you like more to your bar than a cold beer, you have to try this place. A MUST for cocktail lovers.

I came here for coffee on a quiet Sunday (have not tried the nighttime bar yet). I was stunned by how aesthetically beautiful this place is— probably the best in Tucson in this regard. A historic building with vintage wood furniture, rustic building materials, a collection of old type writers. The cappuccino was also great. My new favorite cafe!

I stopped by Exo for coffee since it was just down the street from my hotel and what a beautiful spot. I ordered a flat white, my go-to drink when comparing coffee shops, and while it was good, it was their chocolate croissant that truly stood out, absolutely incredible. The space itself is stunning, warm, and thoughtfully designed, the perfect place to relax, chat, and enjoy coffee with pastries. Definitely one of the most aesthetic and inviting coffee shops I’ve visited.

We were delighted to have coffee and croissants in this lovely bistro. I am a dedicated coffee drinker, and the small coffee with a shot of espresso was excellent with a deep, smooth flavor. The croissants were delicious as well. The baristas are charming and helpful. A wonderful find in the barrio!
