“I went in for dinner tonight. I explained to the man taking my order I could not have bread or rice due to a health condition. He was extremely helpful and accommodating. I ordered the lamb kebab . It was placed on a beautiful salad with some hummus on the side. My first time trying lamb was absolutely amazing. So delicious and tender. The buisness was clean and pleasant. I would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you jenjen?“

“Excellent flavors in posole verde, pupusa chorizo poblano, and crepe with apple and caramel! Can't wait for the next visit.“

“My absolute favorite coffee shop in Albuquerque.“

“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!“

“Michael Thomas always delivers. I always order the Mizudashi or a dirty chai and I’ve always been completely satisfied. The workers are fun, friendly and are the icing on the cake. The staff is petitioning for the addition of a suit of armor as decoration… and I think that’s a brilliant idea. It may make the experience too perfect… but I want to experience it.“

“great staff good food choices“

“Came for the anniversary today. Wide selection of playable games for every sort of player imaginable, with particularly well-worn ones showing how many others enjoyed them before us. I had fun with the games I played, even though I walked out empty-handed. Eat and drink before arriving, though. I was far from satisfied with my café orders.“

“Amazing staff who care for the cause of finding a home for these sweet cats! Nice people and so many cats to pet.“

“I always order a vanilla latte with almond milk, and it is always fantastic!! The breakfast menu is varied and always delicious.“

“Great supercharger stop and great food“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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...“

“I love how they've taken the old Little Anita's building and given it their own spin. The food is excellent..definitely tastes homemade...
Music selection for the restaurant...A+
suggestions maybe?
Breakfast burrito..?
Chicken and waffles...?
Otherwise...my new favorite cafe/diner“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had a great experience with our afternoon tea. All the food was delicious, and the afternoon tea was very affordable compared to some of the other local options. Service was wonderful, and it was a great time.“

“I love the live jazz music that plays every night. The musicians are tops. Make sure to try the Veal Crab Cake. Also referred to as the the Surf & Turf Birthday Cake. Every Thursday, they have ‘Hotel Trivia Night’ where they quiz you on things like square footage, room capacity maximums, room rates by day of the week, and occupancy levels by season.“

“A Must-Visit for Breakfast Burritos and Sandwich Lovers!

I’ve been to this gem of a restaurant three times now, and I can confidently say it’s become my go-to spot for an amazing breakfast burrito and incredible sandwiches.

But it's not just the burritos that shine here. The sandwiches are equally impressive – You can really tell they put care into every meal they prepare.

The staff is always welcoming, and the atmosphere has a cozy, laid-back vibe that makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a spot that serves up consistently great food with a friendly touch, this place should be at the top of your list!“

“Food was fantastic. I love the beans and I usually only like refried beans their beans were fantastic and everything was good. I love the food ...I'll be going back.“

“The food and service here are outstanding! Molly, in particular, made our visit a 5-star experience. Despite the restaurant being busy, she was both flexible and efficient. Thanks to her, this was the best dining experience I’ve had in New Mexico!“

“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!“

“These folk over here are doing an excellent job. They always make you feel like family and the food tastes delicious ?. Adrian, Linda and Adam (I think that's his name, cute short guy) are Awesome employees and they all deserve a raise. My Grandson is Autistic with ADHD & they are so nice to him and always make him a fresh, delicious Pepperoni Pizza ?.
They all deserve 5 stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
We love ♥ this Cafe
