Presta Coffee Roasters / by Christopher Loa

Presta Coffee Roasters, 1st Avenue location. Tucson, Arizona.

I have lived in Arizona for the past 16 years and lately, I have really been inspired by the people, places and events in Tucson. In any given week, I might attend a car show, hike in Saguaro National Park, drive to Mt. Lemmon, or simply get lunch and coffee with friends. This week I spent an afternoon at Presta Coffee Roasters with my friends David and Gloria to get coffee and talk about some creative ideas we want to work on. We like going there because the coffee and service is great. The people who work there are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and make you feel like a regular even if you're not. The space is also very comfortable and casual, and it doesn't hurt that it makes a great backdrop for photos. Their attention to detail really shows in everything they do from where they source their coffee to how its roasted, prepared and served. The more networking I do in Tucson, the more inspired I am by the entrepreneurs, creatives and talented people who live here and are passionate about making it an even better place to call home.
