What customers say

Tala… it is warm and inviting! The drinks are delicious and the staff are friendly. If you are looking for a place that offers unique blends and good vibes you should definitely come and check this gem of a coffee shop out for yourself!

If you have ever lived in the city you probably know how hard it is to find a great coffee shop in the suburbs. Well, look no further because Tala Coffee Roasters is where it’s at!

I did not realize that this place was a cyclist hot spot. I am not a cyclist, just a coffee drinker. The drip was bitter; the latte was good. Every single espresso drink is only two shots. So the bigger the size, the more milk.

★★★★☆ — Madeleine, 2023-08

Tala Coffee Roasters was very nice! The entire “former firehouse” experience gives the sense of openness and fresh air. The cappuccino was lovely as well as my double shot of espresso. My partner and I sat outside on a beautiful Sunday morning people watching and I will certainly be back!
