Since its grand opening in October 2019, Decibel Coffee Works has been known for its deliciously warm coffee to those just passing through the MSA Annex. In 2021, they set out on a new venture — adding a breakfast and lunch menu.
However, on Monday, February 28, Decibel Coffee Works announced that it’s closing its kitchen, but keeping its bakery open and adding house-made ice cream to the menu.

The west side coffee spot shared the following on Instagram:
“It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that our kitchen is closed as of today. The economic reality of our concept couldn’t be ignored any longer.”
Although, don’t let the bad news produce a dark cloud over the good news. Decibel is keeping its bakery open and adding ice cream for those looking for something on the sweeter side. Decibel’s baker, Dana Rengel, has been fiddling with the new flavors and is excited to get things goin’ just in time for summer.
“Thank you to our kitchen staff for working so hard over the last year to make our food delicious and giving us a fighting chance at this.”
Decibel Coffee Works is located at 267 S. Avenida Del Convento. For more information, call (520) 838-0750 or visit decibelcoffeeworks.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
