“This place is a gem. The first things I noticed when I walked in were that there was a game on each table. Nice touch. The place is pristine. I got a mocha, and it was just how I like it. My friends also enjoyed their drinks. The owner was working the counter, and obviously cares about what she does. It's a great spot for gatherings. We are going to meet there for our book club!“

“I recently attended a get together at Little bear & truly enjoyed it! The coffee was the best I had had in quite some time! The owners are welcoming & the staff was friendly, very competent & attentive. They are a direct reflection of the proprietors! I treated myself to a donut that was to die for!! A winning combination with the delicious coffee!“

“Their service here is top tier. Every time I've visited, everyone is so kind and has great energy. This time I mentioned not loving my drink last time & was told to always let them know if I don't like it so they can remake it!? LOVE that. Special shout out to Jonathan at this location - dude has great vibes and double checked that I liked my drink before I drove off. Thanks guys! You've taken over as my favorite coffee stop on my way to school.“

“Didn't even know about this spot until I stopped in to hit up the Team Bahay food truck in the parking lot, but I was very pleased to find it! The beverages are great, the atmosphere is chill, the employees are pleasant, and I love the fact you can openly consume there. Will definitely go again.“

“Visited whilst in Albuquerque last Saturday & Sunday morning. Bagels and coffee are wonderful with very friendly staff. The added bonus was the live music from Iain Cummings. Great way to spend weekend mornings.“

“This Satellite has saved my mornings. The girls who work there on Saturdays will be written into my will. The drinks are consistently perfect and the food options are great as well! I love the specials a lot too. The pumpkin pie drink in the fall is better than anything Starbucks could dream of concocting. Also right now they have a lavender white mocha drink and I want it injected straight into my veins. Love this place!! 🫶🏼“

“I really enjoyed this place. I got the Reuben and it was DELICIOUS! I also got a large Chai Latte. Great size for a large and the flavor was really good. Lots of spice. I also loved the large windows. Great for people watch. Overall great place!“

“Duggans never misses. Their drinks are amazing and also at a good price with baristas that always know how their craft. I come here often before school or to study, and it is always a great experience, definitely my go-to spot throughout my college experience even though satellite is closer. Not only are their drinks amazing, but their food is also great. Simple items with a great cook! I hope to see this place persevere.“

“We went to the enchanted hills location. We got the ponderosa pomelo with peach popping boba, strawberry icee with blueberry popping boba, and oreo shake with regular boba and they were all delicious! The "Boba Man" was so friendly and made ordering super easy. Made spot on recommendations based on us and what we were looking for. It was a great experience and even better drinks.“

“I came for the first time to enjoy some breakfast. They had an artichoke and havarti sandwich, and I also got the pumpkin pie latte, which was equally delicious. I am very happy with my food. I want to return again. It was an awesome first time. Thank you so much, and may God bless you all.“

“I have been wanting to try Phat Beaner for years now, but their hours (8-12) never matched my schedule. I got to go try them today and Oh my gosh! They're delicious! It was only one lady, who I am assuming is the owner, making all the drinks and taking orders. She was quick even with 10 orders at once, and who knows what doordash kinda orders might have been coming in! This is the Sweet Carolyn (brown sugar pie) latte, when I'm telling you it was heavenly, I am not joking! She even tapes a little piece of gum with a thank you note to your drink for after! She also made my twisty straw into a heart (without me requesting, i didnt know it was gonna be a bendy straw) and it gave me so much joy! They are located on 8th street right across from the fire station on the west side! 🥰🥰“

“A UNM alumni w/ 3-BA's, or 226 credit hours-- after five semesters of college in Bucks County, Pennsylvania-- I wish I still lived in Albuquerque.“

“My new favorite coffeehouse! A friend was in town and we needed to kill some time before dinner nearby, I'm so glad we spent time here! This is obviously a place a lot of students study, they even have a special soundproof glass study room for groups. The interior is gorgeous and clean, and the drinks were delicious! I tried a rose milk drink, which may be a seasonal special, but it was so much beyond what I was expecting. Sometimes rose flavor is kinda perfume-y, but this was botanical and had a depth I can't describe, so good! My friend enjoyed their americano, and we had the baklawa and the honeycomb bread. The balkawa was different from baklava, the nut flavors were more pronounced, there were more spices in the flavor, the pastry was crispier, and it was less sweet but it was still a dessert, we loved it. The honeycomb bread was something so new to me, the bread was so fresh, the flavor both familiar and complex, the sweetness so well balanced. I can't wait to go back, the honeycomb bread will be on my mind until I do.“

“This is a great spot. Clean, thoughtfully designed, and genuinely welcoming. The staff is polished and friendly, and the whole place feels like what a certain Seattle-based coffee chain wanted to be about 30 years ago: a real third-place living room with good coffee and a little escape from the world. Well done, Satellite!“
