Great customer service“

“4.5 stars I had been seeing a lot of chatter about Pink Pony from my boss and in the "ABQ Foodies" group on facebook. My first thought was that it was just simple soft serve, but it was so much more than that. The shop was around the corner from the main shopping center, so it was a little confusing to find at first. There is some seating inside and some benches outside, but as popular as this place was with seeing everyone come in and out, I think that should definitely be the main point of expansion. My mom got a root beer float and I the s'mores sundae (~$7). The marshmallows and toppings are all homemade (and the marshmallows come in several flavors). The sundae itself was a good size and topped with a gooey marshmallow. The brownie sundae also seemed to be a popular one. Love supporting local. 2024 #1“

“My new favorite after-yoga spot! Right across from the Main post office on Broadway in Albuquerque. Completely unassuming but absolutely delicious. My scone was moist and so delicious and happened to be gluten free. Loved the latte that she made me with a tiny bit of cinnamon and red chile steamed to a velvety finish!“

“Stopped for the night in ABQ on a roadtrip. Needed a good cup before getting on the road. .This place did the job AND THEN SOME!Small roaster that clearly takes a lot of pride in their product as well as making sure the staff is knowledgeable and helpful.If you are anywhere near here and you don't go here... why do you hate yourself?“

“The location was a little hidden but once we found the coffee shop we were very pleased by the prompt and friendly staff that were enjoyable and pleasant. The Dirty Chai was very delicious but the breakfast burrito left something to be desired. I think they should put cheese in the burrito and serve with salsa. Would come back. Super enjoyable space.“

“This place crushes many other ABQ cafes and coffee shops in terms of affordability, quality, and customer service. Its a great place to sit down with a book, do some computer work, or meet up with a friend, all while enjoying some top-notch coffee.“

“Been coming here since around 2020. Great cozy spot to work on things, read a book, or hang out with a coffee in hand. Matt, Josh, Steve and everyone else that works there I've met are all very friendly and kind people. They have a humble and service oriented attitude shown through how they carry themselves and their actions. I believe they have been able to create a great community space centered around coffee where everyone feels welcome. Coffee is among the best in the city. When they switched from their old provider into roasting their own coffee (I think a year or more back) their coffee was just as great.“

“Amazing food, friendly service, cute little spot to sit and have a coffee and some gluten free baked goods with a friend or study with a tasty snack! I had the salted caramel tart and a London Fog latte. Both were delightful. My husband had a green chile and cheese scone and the bite I tried was SO WONDERFUL I made him drive me back there to get another one! They also have “take and bake” items available like cinnamon rolls and pie crusts. Some dairy free and vegan items are available, as well! I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in town.“

“I really enjoy this coffee shop, all my drinks have been good. They have a nice selection of pastries and food, great vegan options.My only complaint is that there is a very strong air freshener or room fragrance odor. It is very overwhelming to me, and I’m not usually sensitive to perfumes or scents. My go to drink is an americano and while the drink is very good there is a hint of the fragrance in the after taste so it’s not as enjoyable as it has been before. This isn’t the first time the scent in the shop has been strong but this is the first time I’ve noticed it in my drink.Everything else about this place is great, plenty of space to meet up with friends or get some work done.“

“I just discovered this place and am so glad that I did. As a lifelong moto enthusiast, this place is absolutely amazing. The fully-equipped shop is incredibly handy for people with no garage and/or limited tools. I haven't had the chance to try the beer yet, but I did have the best macchiato I've had in years this morning. (Not the garbage *$ version, but the real thing: espresso with just a dollop of milk foam. Perfection) I will be back often to explore the shop in detail and try the beer. I wish every town had a place like this.“

“I’m visiting New Mexico and this has easily become my favorite Boba place! They have great fruit smoothies, and a combo meal that is the best deal I’ve found out here with a sandwich or breakfast item + boba drink! Also they have strong WiFi and a nice space for work and meetings (there’s a nice private area in case you need to get on a zoom meeting). Travelers to Albuquerque, this is a great destination for you to do some work and get boba!“

“Really cute coffee shop in the North Northeast. Plenty of indoor or outdoor seating. You have great mountain views if you sit outside. Wifi is really good if you're catching up on some work. It's pretty quiet during the week if you like reading, but gets busy on the weekends. Lots of caffe options, if you like variety. Great social spot for bicyclists or hikers in the area who want a little break before or after their adventure!“

“My boyfriend and I visited for the first time today and our lattes were phenomenal. I have ordered a latte from many coffee shops in ABQ and this one is by far my absolute favorite. It was smooth and delicious and the space is well defined. Definitely a spot we plan on frequenting more!“

“This place is the place to be. I have been in Albuquerque for three weeks now and on my last week I found out about this place. Hands down, one of the best places ever. No disrespect to the other restaurants. There is something about this place that makes it feel like you are at home and welcome. Take your shoes off and enjoy a great meal, great service, and great conversations. Dee who was my server recommended some awesome meals and she also surprised me with one as well. Thank you. I’ve been there 4 times and everything was delicious. Thank you to Gerry and to the staff for their awesome service, and their 5-star laughter and hospitality.“

“Quaint, food is next level. Perfect combination of New Mexico options. No words for the food. The staff was so attentive and welcoming. This was such an experience. 10/10 they have a new regular.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Great service and charming atmosphere. Charging outlets available — thank goodness. The coffee and the vegan options were incredible — if you want vegan baked goods, try to go in the afternoon, as they may not be available early in the morning.“

“Our new favorite spot!! They are so fast, so nice, and the food is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend their bahn mis!! The lemongrass beef is my favorite!! The spring rolls are also amazing, really big and I love their peanut sauce! Great prices and excellent portions! Definitely check it out!!“

“Need to start giving more positive reviews and props to the place I actually enjoy going to regularly. This Boba house is one of those places.Really love the Boba here, especially the orange oolong tea, as well as the strawberry and peach fruit blends.The owners are always super nice and usually never wait long for my drink.“

“Their bagels are very good but they are on the small side for the price. They are accomodating when you ask for something but some of the servers could be a little nicer. They are definitely the best bagels in town and make them the right way but for now I will continue to get mine in Phoenix when I am there or someone else I know is going to Chompies. They make them well too and they are far less expensive.“

“Are ya ready kids???Yeah!I can't hear you!!!I feel like I'm walking into Bikini Bottom every time I go in. I love it!! And the fact it's right across the street from one of the movie studios makes it even better. This place is great! They've decorated really well, the big "nap pod" chair by the front is AMAZING! It's so comfy.. They have games for kids (and adults too I suppose). Looks like they have a little lounge area in the back..not sure if they have a gaming console or not.. either way, it's cool.The drinks are great, too! Currently having the Thai Tea..one of my fav's. The other day I had the hot chai tea. Gotta say the chai is REALLY good!Yes, it's a little out of the way, but you should make the trip. It's a really neat little joint!Kid-friendliness: The place is literally built for kids to have fun!Wheelchair accessibility: Very ADA friendly.“

“Had a wonderful Unicorn tea party with my granddaughter and my mother. Tea from New Mexico Tea Company is always good and the food was delicious and so cute for the theme. So glad there is an affordable place the celebrate with an afternoon tea in Albuquerque. Already booked a “Alice in Wonderland” teas party with my grandson next month! Great thing to do when going to a show at Popejoy!“

“So glad I stumbled onto this place while walking through Old Town early one morning. After wandering about for a while, I was very pleased to find a coffee shop/bakery that was open. The inside was charming and airy. The service was fast and friendly. I had a chai latte, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! I also treated myself to a blueberry muffin-so tasty! I will definitely be finding my way back here again. P.S. Yay for using compostable cups and lids!!!“

“I stopped in for a local cup of coffee and the Blackbird Coffee House did not disappoint. I ordered the Blackbird Coffee and the flavor was terrific. It has a bit of spice added, but not in terms of any heat. The staff was friendly and I was on my way with my coffee quickly.“

“One of the most flavorful coffees I have had in a while. I thoroughly enjoyed being here. The coffee was top tier and the scone I decided to get was absolutely delicious! The service was great, fast, and friendly. I would definitely recommend and will be returning in the future.“

“I've been there multiple times. This one was better than those. I had a savory breakfast crepe with bacon, spinach, and tomatoes along with a bottomless cup o' Joe (Italian roast). The food was its usual yum and the service exceptionally friendly.“

“Pretty beautiful outdoor space to relax and drink a coffee. They only have filtered coffee at a self serve station. Sometimes they have live music. We were there while the it was windy and the cottonwoods were flying around everywhere but it was still very nice. Its quite tucked away but eventually you find yourself in a beautiful haven in the middle of Albuquerque.“

“The best breakfast we had on our visit to Albuquerque! I had the standard plate with breakfast potatoes, toast, bacon, and green chile eggs. It was amazing. My wife ordered the biscuits and gravy and said they were excellent as well. Atmosphere was excellent, and service was great despite how busy they were. Highly recommended and glad we visited!“

“Everything at Napoli Coffee is amazing! The staff is always friendly and I love the atmosphere too. The Black Forest is my favorite drink but they are all very yummy! I also love to come here to shop for handcrafted gifts or to pick up a new pair of earrings.“

“WONDERFUL tea shop. I've shopped in person and online and both experiences are delightful. I don't drink traditional tea, I prefer rooibos, and they have an impressive collection. The employees in the store are always attentive and helpful and the prices and options are the best i've found.“

“I ordered a loose leaf turmeric and ginger tea latte. It was absolutely delicious and the staff answered all of my questions about what I was ordering. The staff even checked me while I sipped my tea to make sure I liked it. I'll definitely be trying more of their menu.“

“The smell of chai was incredible and the first thing I noticed was the real flowers on the tables. Little notes of extra care permeate the space. There is a lot of seating of different styles, including comfortable lounge area, more private work stations, window tables, and an outdoor patio that wasn't quite set up on a stormy, early morning.The service was very kind and professional. The baristas offered up plenty of other coffee suggestions both for in-house and uplifting other coffee shops they appreciate in the area, and were quick to offer information on the coffees roasted in house.I was impressed at how incredibly clean the space was. It was early in the day, but whomever had worked the previous shift really made sure the space was ready to go (unless someone came in early, either way, impressive).Near the downtown but more a part of the neighborhood, Slow Burn felt like the kind of place I'd walk to if I lived nearby.Parking: It was easy to find free street parking right outside the front door of the cafe.“

“Ordered a few things to go. Love the pork meat bun! It’s very flavorful and a lot bigger than a Xiao Long Bao. The meat is juicy and very well-seasoned. Bun itself is moist and just the right amount of dough. I also ordered cold sesame noodles, fried tofu and pork stew rice w/egg. What a nice hidden gem in Albuquerque! Owner is very nice too. Everything reminds me of home!“

“ABQ Coffee is an excellent option for starting your morning off on the right foot. ABQ Coffee is a small business, with an uncomplicated menu, and friendly staff. When I came in, I asked for a recommendation for someone on their first time to their shop and was given a quick rundown of what I was looking at on the menu. I was stuck between the Bee-Sting and Mexican Mocha so I went with the mocha and had a quiche to go with it. I enjoyed my meal so much so, that I kept them in mind for the following morning as I wanted to stop in and stock up on souvenirs as well as attempt a haircut at the Collective. I had the Bee-Sting that morning and an Avocado Toast, both of which were of the same quality as the previous day's fare.“

“Amazing quality and friendly service!! Didn't even get pictures of the food because it was devoured too quickly. Limited seating inside, but during the warmer months they have a lovely patio to enjoy the weather. Very traditional and limited coffee options, but after tasting the croissants and butter biscuits, the baked goods are all you need to buy here.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don't even know where to start on how much I recommend Ethnosphere Coffee! "Ethnosphere - The thoughts, dreams, ideals, myths, intuitions, and inspirations brought into existence by the human imagination." The name in itself speaks volumes and it's so unique, just place itself and the wonderful family that owns and offers these wonderful services are always so friendly and happy to provide the community a quiet, comfortable setting to enjoy the food and drinks without feeling rushed . One of my favorite things is, that they use ingredients and products that are locally made and sold even within the neighborhood community. And that is only scratching the surface. I took a friend there and we ended up sitting there for 3 hours just hanging out and talking with other people that we had never met. I think this is one of the most special things about this place, you don't get that at Starbucks LOL. The coffee and tea drinks are amazing Josh is quite the "drink meister" as I call him, made the absolutely best iced mocha I had ever had! And the breakfast sandwiches ( one of my favorites) as well as other food are amazing!. They even have free natural dog treats for your pups, who are always welcome there on a leash.“

“Nice place, much larger inside than it seems from the outside. Plenty of outdoor seating on a nice day. My friend and I stopped by late morning on a Tuesday. The establishment had a very steady flow of traffic but not too crowded. It was clean and there is a nice variety of seating. Service took a while and we couldn't figure out why the line, just to order, was moving so painfully slow since the wait to get the order was not much at all. I had the dark roast coffee and the gluten free berry muffin and the coffee was tasty and rich - quite good - and the muffin very good.“

“I’m a combat sports athlete with chronic pain and I proudly drain my wallet when I come here. Shoot I’ll throw a 15 dollar tip on a 25 dollar tab this is such a fine establishment with seemingly amazing vendor relations as well given their fire buds and concentrates. Only problem is i do feel judged by a particular staff member when I order drinks and smoke and it’s slowly been turning me off besides that the beverages are to die for, the bud is to high for ?“

“This place is an absolute need. One million stars if I could. I remember when my partner and I first walked in: the store was opening Everybody was so welcoming, and we were given the best food ever. (We still are, this restaurant is fantastic.) This location is equivalent to the Ratatouille scene where Remy and Emile taste food together. I am Remy, admiring the quality of the food, my MEAL. I am also Emile, where I ravenously eat their food as if I were starving for three months, and this is the first thing I've seen coming back to civilization. You will never understand the craving for Phamily's food until you've had it. As for the hospitality, I love it. Ever since visiting this location from opening, I have felt the same welcoming atmosphere every time I step through those doors. I appreciate the hard work that Phamily shows to their customers through their food, so I hope more customers share the same energy when stopping by to eat! My review is about how Phamily's food makes me feel and how great the place is. Again, you must try something you like in order to experience the Phamily experience. I can guarantee you that everything on that menu is good. Even if it's tea, an entrée, a small side. Check out the place for yourself and see what grasps your interest!“

“Amazing bakery...worth every dollar spent...why? because they put more than just ingredients in the bowl..they put love...passion...service..dedication...they truly support the community (as proven during covid when they continually gave away free pizzas). the kiosk is sooo awesome! thank you for being here for all of us, even though some arent always there for you.....we appreciate you! yummmmmmmy“

“What a clean, well thought out coffee house. They roast beanson site. The light roast is what i had, it was a great choice. They have alternatives to milk. Macademia, oat and soy milk. My son had the espresso it was also delicious.. Lookedlikean eclectic crowd of University students and business folks.. I highly recomend.“

“Amazing service, the food and coffee are even better. Their coffee is so good that my husband gets them to send it to him every month. The atmosphere here is very cozy and inviting. We will definitely visit here again Next time we come to Albuquerque.“

“The tea was delicious. I got an orange peach tea with strawberry Boba. There was fresh orange in the tea which was refreshing. Atmosphere is nice and decor is cute. I met a friend here and we stayed for 2 hours just chatting and drinking our tea. I will be a repeat customer.“

“This is a cute coffee spot in town! It was louder inside than I expected. The music was upbeat and loud as opposed to soft elevator music. There were also lots of younger people. Many were on their laptops in the back seating area, so it left the outside clear. There are so many tables outside btw. They do have a lot of space. There was plenty of parking. The baristas are friendly. I got a matcha latte, and they served it in a big cup that was hard to carry away from the bar. It was filled to the top. They had donuts in a case, but the donuts looked old.“

“Growing up in Albuquerque developed in me a true love for "Red or Green" culture. Living out of state now makes me crazy living without it, so, when I visit I want the real deal food of the "Burque!" Tia Betty Blues is my new favorite. My Navajo sculptor friend, Natiya, introduced me and now I'm hooked.You can see in the pictures the food, and they don't skimp. Look at the size of that Carne Adovada burrito compared to his hands. It's massive! I got a 4-egg omelette smothered in green chile with calabacitas (zucchini and corn), and my other friend had blue corn waffles with strawberries.Next time I'm in Albuquerque this will be the first place I go, and probably more than once. I highly recommend it, especially in warm weather, when you can sit outside. I think the owner also has the Waffleria (?).Parking: Parking lot is somewhat small so go at times of least business.“

“Come join Tom Neiman, Jim Tritten, and a few of the guys from the VA Creative Writing Group as we venture along historic Route 66 to Kap's Diner. A long-time favorite of New Mexicans, and travelers, this inconspicuous diner has great food, impeccable service, and a fine indoor eating environment. We recommend it and plan to return soon. Just click on the following YouTube link to see our complete report.“

“It was my first time and I was impressed. I'm not sure if the gentleman working was the owner but he was very friendly and helpful. He went over the menu with me and gave me great recommendations. I ended up getting the pralines & cream shake, with mocha latte protein powder and chopped pecans. Hands-Down bomb! Thank you for the great shake! ????“

“Was looking for a good cup coffee and found a gem .This is the best Latte I have had in a long time.excellent coffee and presented nicely.The Cinnamon roll was also very good.Will be back and can recommend to any coffee lover.Pleasant atmosphere and likewise people“

“My cousin recommended this breakfast joint. And I am soooo glad she did. The Daily Grind is off the hook. Here I have an everything bagel stuffed with egg, mild cheddar, grilled Hatch Chile and bacon. Best breakfast bagel I have ever had, gods honest truth. The egg was light and fluffy and also cooked well done just like I requested, the bacon was extra crispy and the hatch chile was amazing, as usual. The Daily Grind is located on Cutler in Midtown ABQ. Stop by and say hello, I’m sure they’d love to see you. And remember to always support local over national. #supportlocal“

“This place was amazing!! Everything on the menu was so delicious and the staff was so friendly!! We loved it so much that we went back the next day as well- which is not something we ever do when traveling! Prices are reasonable and the portions are huge!! Highly recommend!!“

“This is my favorite sandwich, shop, and all of the land of enchantment! I’ve been coming for over a decade. The place is owned by the sweetest twin sisters you’ll ever meet. Their service is always amazing though they are very busy so please be patient. The food is delicious and priced beautifully for this type of economy. Any bad reviews you’ve read are negative Nancys please disregard! If I could give 100 stars, I would! Best ?Bre (pronounced like the ? cheese)“
