The staff are very friendly, the cafe itself is open and airy- great fun for cats and people alike.

“My absolute favorite coffee shop in Albuquerque.“

“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.“

I can’t get enough of their PURPLE RAIN SMOOTHIE; the ACAI BOWL & DRAGON BOWL Z are 2 items that are just sooo juicy! The BURQUE TURKEY & VEGGIELICIOUS are my favorite. Also, if You just want a cup daily brew they layer it nice & tasty to Your satisfaction. Latte’s & Espressos are pretty darn good too. Give them a visit You will not be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Such an amazing experience! The workers and their energy bring my energy up every time. While in the drive-thru, the friendliness and positive energy of the workers makes you feel so welcomed and appreciated. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and that energy is contagious! The drinks are always great, but it’s the amazing people and their attitudes that keep me coming back. 7 Brew has definitely created such a fun and positive atmosphere! ☕💗✨“

“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.“

“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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“Finally had lunch here with a friend after having driven past this place many times. We shared the largest charcuterie board (could feed 4 people) and it was beautiful and delicious! We definitely left with extras. We both got a Thai Tea and were pleased with them. I will be going back here and telling everyone about it. It's a lovely local business with a great atmosphere and lovely employees. If you're looking for a nice place to go have a lunch that will make you feel good, I'd definitely recommend it!“

“Next to ex novo, another great place to grab a bite to eat or drink. Except this being more breakfast oriented sandwiches and coffee. Got there really early at eight a m. And was blown away by their breakfast burrito, even without cheese. Since I'm non dairy. It was still delicious and flavorful. I enjoyed every bite. I also recommend the cortado with almond milk super frothy!“

“exelente lugar..muy rico y tranquilo lugar“

“Restrooms had a horrendous smell almost barffedmy food up“

“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!“

“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.“

“friendly staff, great service,love the coffee“

“Best brevé latté, everyone is super friendly, they all know my regular order! Prices are most excellent! My go to place! Yay!🥳“

“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.“

“Delicious and unique dishes! Tasty mimosas too!“

“Anniversary Steak Dinner. Amazing. Beat steak I have ever had!! We both got it because neither of us wanted to share. Go only when Casey is there. He makes the best steaks and you won’t regret it!!“

“Very pleasant atmosphere“

“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!“

“We celebrated my wife's 70th birthday here with a large surprise❤ party. Jory and his crew were wonderful to work with and the food, service, view, and vibe were wonderful! This is a fantastic place to come party or enjoy the view while you eat and play board games! (They have lots!)“

“Me and my family have had the most amazing experience with Tree at the Stonestreet grill. Tree saw our need and made it happen, this was the absolute best experience we have had here in New Mexico. Tree is a gem and we will never forget her! Come and say hi to her you will not be disappointed. 😊“

“Always a great experience here! Love the vibe, and the drinks are consistently good. As of today, I’ve ordered every Milk Tea on the menu (short of a few I don’t plan on trying) and they’ve all been consistently great. Easily the best in Albuquerque and even rivals the top places in Seattle (where I’m from)“

“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.“

“They have so many different options here for breakfast lunch and dinner. And all the pastries you can imagine! They have some that are gluten-free and some that are vegan, but they do not have gluten and vegan free options together. Always a great option if you are hungry and want a lot of options!“
