Talebu is a newer place, and I am a fan. I have tried the sandwiches, smoothies & a decaf caramella latte.The sandwiches and smoothies are really good, the sandwiches come with fresh fruit. I have tried the turkey sandwich that has pesto on it, and it was so good and really reasonably priced. They also have a couple breakfast sandwiches, I can't remember the name of it but the sandwich I got had pesto on it (can you tell I'm a fan of pesto?) and it was the perfect egg sandwich to wake me up. I've tried a few different smoothies here, but my favorite so far has to be the Starburst. It actually tastes like a starburst, imagine that ;). I am pregnant so I have yet to experience there real coffee, so for now I can only get the decaf carmella latte but you bet your booty I will be trying one of those delicious looking caffeinated beverages once I have this baby. The carmella latte is a tad too sweet for me so that is my only complaint. I do love that they have a drive thru, it makes it extremely convenient for 8 month pregnant women like me who really don't want to get out of our car and have to be in this disgusting heat. The employees have all been really friendly, especially who I'm assuming is the owner. They also have a whole punch card for there drinks, awesome! I believe they do double stamps on Saturdays.
Review Source:I see great things for this coffee shop. First off, I am a big fan of non-corporate coffee shops that make it feel welcoming to hang out and enjoy their space. And this place has plenty of it... SPACE, that is. I was tempted to simply go through the drive-thru to sample their coffee, but I had to check out the interior of the store. They have a relaxed vibe, interesting art displayed on the walls, and the coffee is delicious. I am intrigued by their dessert-like offerings (the cheesecake in a cup looks deeee-vine!), but I tend to restrain myself from the sweets if I am strong enough.
This place gets an extra star for the inclusion of a drive-thru window. I haven't found that in most coffeeshops I frequent around Phoenix. The proximity to my home will make this my on-the-fly must-have-caffeine destination. I can only hope that I will check out the evening entertainment here and continue to patronize an original coffee venue that is doing things right. Good on you, Talebu!
Finally got around to trying this place two weekends ago after grocery shopping next door. Desperately needed a pick-me-up after a non-stop month of family and friends in town.
When corporate coffee (coughcoughSTARBUCKScough) frequents every corner in the Valley, it's always great to support local business!
Nice, open atmosphere, no cookie-cutter décor in sight. That's refreshing! This reminds me of a toned-down version of a coffee shop I used spend a lot of time at in Colorado. Homegirl Extraordinaire Missy F. will know exactly which one. ;) Â
Very friendly barista that didn't hesitate to chat with me about how my day was going, etc. Also told me about Open Mic Night Thursday and Live Music Friday. All ages . . . will definitely have to check this out, and bring my teenage sister! Â She also gave me a coupon for a beverage if I came back on Friday when a band was there.
Normally, I just get an iced toddy or Americano when I go out. Not so keen on frou-frou "coffee" beverages, but the barista convinced me to try a Mexican Mocha.
While it tasted great, it was rather watered-down. I love a coffee that punches me in the face, not a half-assed attempt at waking me up. Â
Tip: Don't forget the check-in offer. $1 off any 24oz espresso bar drink!
Will I be back? Most likely. It's a new business; have to give it a chance, will definitely experiment with some of their other beverages and come back when I need a change of work venue.
Happy to have fresh, local business right down the street from my house! Looking forward to seeing this place grow!
I love local coffee shops and especially ones that stay open in the evenings. Â I am always looking for a place to hang out and study or just chill and Talebu has been just that for me since it opened. Â I appreciate their open room and the atmosphere and would recommend this place to anyone looking to meet with others or just hang out and read a book. Â At times, the music does get loud but I've never complained to the workers so I don't know if they would lower the volume for me but I don't mind and I think they'd take note of it if I did complain.
The owner appears to work hard and truly care about not only her shop but the workers and patrons which is always a good thing! I have ordered both hot specialty coffee drinks and their smoothies and enjoyed both. Â
Thank you Talebu!
its a cute, locally owned coffee shop that popped up fairly recently in the chandler area. the space is pretty huge and apparently hosts local musical talent from time to time. i also noticed that they give free refills when you are drinking in house. definitely a place i'll continue to frequent. P.S. - they are dog friendly too!
Review Source:LOVE the atmosphere. More coffee shops need to have this atmosphere. As for the coffee, I feel it is ok. I prefer a stronger brew and feel they can refine the end product of their drinks. I've had a blueberry muffin from here twice, and I though they were decent. Nothing to "wow" me, but better than I've had elsewhere. Keep going, Talebu...I enjoy having you in my neighborhood!
Review Source:I definitely do not recommend this coffee shop. My friend ordered a decaf chai and ended up with a drink that was more like a vanilla steamer. The muffin I got was rock hard and stale. Their coffee is less than average and the service was slow. This one man (the owner?) yelled across the counter at a coworker and the whole atmosphere was unprofessional and really rather awkward. Save your money and your time.
Review Source:5 stars should be easy to attain for a coffee joint, but Talebu simply does not deserve even 2 stars, so I have downgraded it. First off, we go in at 3pm for a quick coffee. It was 2 minutes before the guy at the counter stopped counting the till before he said "hey". The. Another minute before the coffee girl took our order. We were the only two in the whole place. Anyways, again the coffee was not that good, the atmosphere... Meh, and the service, also just not that good. This will be my final review of Talebu and my final stop in for a coffee. Save your time and go to where you at least you know you are going to get a good cup of joe.
Review Source:3-18-13 Visited this place for the first time today with my daughter. I found them on groupon. I ordered an iced Mexican mocha, never heard of that drink and decided to try it out. It was pretty good, different, but good. I also ordered my daughter a mini chocolate pie. She liked it a lot. Very cute place, I wish it was cozier inside though (very open, modern and artsy). Its kind of tucked away around the corner but still easy to find. Can't wait to try another drink next time, it is a nice change from Starbucks. Update 3-19-13 tried their version of the white chocolate mocha and it was awesome!
Review Source:I got home late Sunday evening, spent the weekend at the hospital with my daughter while she had her baby, and so when I got home I felt like I needed to spend some bonding time with my son and see if he was hungry and like most 17 year olds with a bottomless pit he was and said he would like Subway, so I told him lets go walk and get it, we don't live too far away and he likes to chat while we walk. I know, you're like dude this review is supposed to be for Talebu,,but wait for it,,,,,
We walked around the corner and saw these twinkling lights and a lit up patio area, and my son was like lets go investigate, so we did, and when he saw it was a coffee shop he about jumped for joy,,,he loves local coffee shops.
We walked in and he said I love the feel of the place, this will be my new hang out, we walked up to the counter and placed out order, then sat down at a chair, where he challenge me to a game of chess, but with the lack of sleep I knew if I did I was doomed.
We found out that Talebu has open mic night on Thursday nights and live music Friday and Saturday nights, and my son was told there was no age limit so even he can listen to the tunes. You betcha we will be there forsure!
I ordered a Caramel Frap, omg it was delicious! It tasted like a combo of caramel and butterscotch very yummy! Â
Glad to have found ya Talebu, you can bet we will be back!
I'm not one for trying every new coffee shop that pops up, but it was convenient to pop in and check this pace out.
The ambiance is nice, though a bit sparse, and they have the typical "art" on the walls and mandatory performance space.
The reason I've giving four stars is because I don't like to order on-the-menu, and the woman was very receptive to my questions and requests. At Starbucks I'll get a look of frustration as the baristas try to figure out how to type my order into their registers and charge me for it, but this woman simply listened, put something in, and asked me questions as she made the drink. It made it feel like she was truly customizing it to my tastes.
I guess if I'd used the drive-thru or simply ordered a drink from the menu I might have a more generic or bad experience, but this was one time that watching and explaining what I liked truly paid off for me.
