“We had dinner at this restaurant recently. The rooftop restaurant has fabulous views, particularly of the Sandia Mountains. On this hot summer day, we had an inside table by the windows. As the weather cooled near sunset, they opened the glass walls for a fabulous sunset. Equally good, was the creative foods on the menu and no problems sharing plates. The service was impeccable. A memorable night out for my wife's birthday.“

“So much more than great bagels! Service is always quick and friendly, lunch menu had something for everyone in my family to enjoy and the desserts are AMAZING! The great variety of fresh and delicious bagles will always keep me wanting more!“

“Amazing food, Amazing service and it is consistently Outstanding!!!“

“I celebrated my 21st birthday here, was my second time going since I was 13. it was just as amazing as the first time! I love it here and wish I could come here every month, the staff are so wonderful too. delicious food and yummy tea!💕“

“If you’re looking for a great little coffeehouse and bistro then please go to Limonata on Silver Ave. The service, coffee and breakfast was impeccable. We had Cortata, Chocolate Piñon, Spinach Quiche and a Chicken and Green 🌶️ Crepe. You really don’t see customer service like this anymore. They are open Thursday- Monday 8-2. Plus, there is local art displayed that is for sale.“

“Food and boba are great but the prices are not as advertised. Got charged $6.49 for the milk tea when the board says $5.49, and $1.00 for the pearl add ons when it says $.75. My pho was also upcharged at $11.69 when it says on the board $10.49.“

“Great place for a relaxed brunch and beautiful views. Family friendly and always well kept.“

“We went to visit our first time today, our intention was just play with all the cats but we came home with two bonded brothers. The staff are very friendly, the cafe itself is open and airy- great fun for cats and people alike. It’s a great way to give some luv to some sweet animals and such a great way to maybe meet your newest family member.“

“We got there just before closing and it smelled delicious. The owner was putting things up for the day but brought out the pastries for us to pick from. We bought the cross between the croissant and blueberry muffin, cinnamon roll and pistachio croissant. They were all so good and Shawn was a remarkable business owner. Even if you have to go out of your way, if you are any where around Albuquerque stop in Old Town and get a delightful pastry made from one of the best pastry chef around. I cant wait to go back. Flying RoadRunner Bakery rocks.“

“Just ate here on my way to Abiquiu and I wish I could give this place 10 stars....The bread is fresh, some of the best hummus I have tasted anywhere, even in the Middle East...This is much more than a café. The owner and staff are kind, generous, and professional. Top notch!“

“My absolute favorite coffee shop in Albuquerque.“

“WOW! My friend Victor had been telling me about this place
for a couple of weeks and when he spoke in superlative language about the wonderful food and the friendliness of the owner and the museum like atmosphere, I thought that he was using a bit of hyperbole.
Well, I discovered with my first taste of the New Mexican food that it is impossible to use hyperbole in describing the experience. It is unbelievably wonderful and I think that everyone who enjoys New Mexican home style delicious,, multi dimensional cuisine should try it out!“

“Ran across this place when we missed our turn for another restaurant. So glad we did! Great atmosphere and definitely great food and service! We had the Denver omelet and the California omelet. Cooked perfectly! If we’re back in Albuquerque, we will stop in again for sure!“

“Great supercharger stop and great food“

“We were visiting from Canada and came across this hidden gem. Food was delicious.“

“Warm and comforting room and environment.“

“Amazing place! came to Java Joe's all the way from Minneapolis MN. The food is really Good! and love the coffe🖤“

“Café Chica in Albuquerque exceeded all my expectations! I have been wanting to try this adorable place for months but life kept happening! Finally got the chance this weekend! I pre ordered a half dozen bombolinis with a variety of this week's flavors, a 3 pack of beignets, and a grazing box. I also chose to pick up a caramel iced latte when I picked up my order! The beignets were coming out fresh as I walked up to the window and walking away, the smell of fresh powdered sugar filled the air! I won't lie, the flavors of bombolinis this week (Carrot Cake, Chocolate Orange, Lavender Lemon, and Honey Chamomile) aren't flavors I'd normally order, but we put the bombos in the fridge over night and the next day, they were beyond delicious! We enjoyed the grazing box after a 3 hour drive up to Taos for the weekend (which is the bombo tops are a little smashed) and everything was delicious, especially the jam(?) and cheese! I will DEFINITELY be visiting/ordering again! They are located in the El Vado center off Central“

“Always a great experience!! My son and I come here for a special treat and mother son time. My son is 18, so I truly cherish these times. Juicy J's is amazing!! It's quiet, a great place to study. We get the PB&J Bowl with all the fixings. Truly Delicious!! YOU MUST TRY IT!!“

“Amazing little coffee shop. I love the atmosphere. Right away you feel relaxed! The coffee is like nothing else ❤️👌“

“This place is absolutely amazing! We plan to return at least once a month because it really is that good! The food is delicious, but honestly that’s just the icing on the cake. What really makes this place shine is the staff. They treat everyone with such kindness and warmth.

The ladies up front are so cute and welcoming, and the chefs always come out to say hello and get feedback on their delicious creations. It is obvious they love what they do, and that kind of thoughtfulness and customer service is rare these days.
I don’t usually write reviews, but this one is well deserved.

Amazing staff, amazing chefs, and amazing food and coffee. If you’re looking for the perfect brunch or breakfast spot, this is it. Not only will you enjoy great food, but you’ll also be surrounded by beautiful people with beautiful hearts who truly care about their customers.
My only complaint? My tummy isn’t big enough to fit everything :(“

“We visit every time we are in Albuquerque“

“Home Nutrition is my favorite spot to pick up a quick healthy lunch or dinner. Always super friendly and appreciative of my business. Charnell always knows what I want and has it ready when I walk through the doors. NOW that's excellent customer service!!!“

“The kind woman who owns Cafe Zin is extraordinary. Her warmth and caring personality envelope her store and upon entering her space one is greeted with peace and quiet like a gentle hug of white noise. I asked her for a tarot card reading and she sweetly obliged but her council was so much more. She tapped into hidden things that she could never have known. Blew mine and my daughter’s mind. And we were thrilled before departing her wonderful company, that we both received hugs. Truly a heartfelt and touching experience for us.“

“Just purchased a splash pad for my kids among other things cashier that helped me was very friendly was a great customer service was in and out for how packed and busy they were 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“I have had the pleasure of visiting Little Sparrow Cafe today, and it was a great experience. Their espresso beverages are top-notch: rich, smooth, and expertly crafted with rather unique flavors. What also stood out were their unique soda options; the variety added a delightful twist to the usual café offerings. Service was impressively fast and courteous, making the visit even more enjoyable. The menu is extensive, catering to a wide range of tastes, and everything I tried was delicious. The cozy atmosphere of the cafe adds to its charm, making it a perfect spot to relax and savor quality food and drinks. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I didn't try any of their food items, but it seems like they have a few interesting things on their menu.“

“Food and staff was amazing!!“

“exelente lugar..muy rico y tranquilo lugar“

“friendly staff, great service,love the coffee“

“Hands down the best food in New Mexico. Love this place so much!!!“

“Frustrated with the Masthead location. I work in the building and hours say open 7am to 3pm, but they don't open until between 10:30 and 11:00--would love to be able to get breakfast. Also, full menu is never available, just a handful of lunch items. Been told numerous times "full menu is coming", but it's been months. C'mon guys...“

“Delicious and unique dishes! Tasty mimosas too!“

“This is a Starbucks inside sandia casino. Nothing special. So even if Starbucks is closed they remain open. This was the only coffee shop I found open on Christmas Day so that’s the bright side. Reduce your expectations to Starbucks level and you won’t be disappointed.I did roam around having trouble finding this place but don’t be like me and just ask the security as soon as you enter if you’re going here just for coffee.“

“This cafe is a hidden gem, and has been around for close to three decades. Fresh, local pastries, bagels, and burritos compliment a variety of handcrafted beverages ranging from locally-roasted espresso to Red Bull infused with a range of flavors. The staff are a great and friendly team that all take pride in every drink. They even have a loyalty card!“

“Better than the reviews! I hesitated to eat here with the low rated reviews before me, but I’m glad I decided to try it anyway. The service was pleasant and timely, and the vegetable omelet was amazing! I will come back for wine and desserts next time!“

“I went in yesterday and tried the Raspberry Lemon Tart. I am diabetic and don't usually eat sweets. Worth it 10000% The staff is friendly, and the food is good also.“

“We brought in a group of 13 and we ordered in smaller groups, so it wasn't synchronized, but they brought everything it when it was ready, fresh and delicious. We had a range of tastes and ages, not one complaint and something for everyone! Great service too“

“Had an amazing dinner here in October. Ambiance on the outdoor patio was relaxing, the Mexican food was delicious and authentic, drinks were great, and our server, Dougie, was friendly and offered just the right amount of attentiveness. A bonus was being able to have our pup sit under the table and relax, too. That’s very welcome when you’re traveling with a pet and can’t leave him in hotel or car. Great place!“

“amazing brunch service! went here with a friend and had the French toast- which I highly recommend. Decently priced too!“

“This has got to be one of the coolest, cutest cafe in Burque. Do yourself a favor and try their little lavender latte ☕️, delish! Any of the toasts you pick, you will not regret! Two Thumbs Up 👍 👍!“

“The delightful and talented woman runs a well oiled kitchen. Her specials , if one is lucky enough to match your visit with one is always a good bet. As others have said, a fun place for a breakfast or lunch. Grab a ball cap or tee shirt downstairs no your way out.“

“Tea brewed to perfection! Fun atmosphere. Perfect meet up with friends, a place to study, or just a quick bite.“
