Let’s face it, holiday shopping can be a drag. So many people on your list and so little time! No matter how often we fool ourselves into thinking we’ll be proactive next year, the time slips away from us. Luckily, we’ve figured out the best gifts to give all of your loved ones so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the tala-days!

There’s something special about walking into Tala Coffee. It’s not just the rich scent of freshly brewed espresso or the low hum of conversation that greets you, there’s a feeling of history in the air, woven into the very floor beneath your feet.

Join us on a “Tala Adventure” as we take our coffee beyond the café and into the heart of the communities we love. Alo takes us on her adventure to a local art festival and to grab a bite to eat.

It isn’t every day that you get the chance to see how distinctly the processing method can change the flavor of a coffee. We are excited to offer both washed and natural versions of our Chelbesa Washing Station coffee on our online store. This unique opportunity allows you to explore and appreciate the diverse flavor profiles that result from different processing techniques.

Everyday that we get to use clean, filtered water to make coffee is a day to celebrate! It just so happens that today is the day celebrate because it is World Water Day! . . . World Water Day provides intentionality to advocate for better water management practices across the board, from big corporations to your own household.

“When we were looking for a new coffee (in 2021) we had this gap in our lineup for a coffee that was really round, really rich, really sweet and approachable. We were specifically cupping coffees to find something that was everything that the Mico de Noche was which was the really approachable warm flavors that are super easy to market, super easy to enjoy. We were looking for a bridge between our house blend Ruca and some of the other single origins that we had. It was kind of a gateway coffee, if you will”, Keith shares after recalling their first cupping of Mico De Noche over a year ago.

No matter how epic the summer is, it seems like the world always welcomes fall with open arms. The long-awaited cozy vibes have arrived—not only in the weather, but in our drink lineup. This year we brought back some classics, and introduced some new creative drinks. Find out what we’re serving, and make sure to stop by the cafe to try them all!

When it came time to craft a house blend and an espresso blend we knew we wanted to exemplify our feelings about coffee in these two staples. We sat around my and Stefan’s tiny apartment table cupping samples to decide our blends. When we finally decided on the recipe, we were all obsessed with the final product. Now, we had to name our blends. We finally settled on what you know today: Ruca and Amoret.

As always, the Fall Menu has been eagerly awaited. We are happy to share this seasons’ lineup of delicious drinks!

This is maybe the most anticipated of all seasonal menu changes. For weeks we’ve been getting questions about when we’ll switch to our fall menu and what will be on it and if we’re back back (insert personal favorite) from last year. I’m not sure if its the crisp changing air, the return to a more regular schedule or maybe just the passage of time and craving for change. Whatever the case, it seems like we aren’t the only excited ones to bring on the Fall flavors.

We recently launched our first coffee in our Tala Truest line: the Israel Hernandez Gesha from Tolima, Colombia. As much as we’ve been loving it hot, the thought occurred to us to conduct a wild experiment. It came in a stroke of genius—the kind of genius that seems hyperbolic at first—and we quickly realized it might actually work. We made cold brew with the Gesha, a bold move none of us have seen from the specialty industry before. The result? Amazing. So we’re going to share! This limited-edition cold brew will be sold in bottles in our cafe and be available for Neighborly delivery to local customers.

We are so excited to announce that we now serve Cold Brew Draft Lattes in the our cafe. These are the perfect solution to keep you caffeinated all week long, even when you can’t make it out for your coffee run.
