Cheese and Coffee

“Love Your Lunch” is a perfectly fitting slogan for this homely family sandwich shop. It’s clear the staff at Cheese & Coffee have worked hard to make this a lunch spot worthy of all the awards they proudly display on their walls. Eating here reminds me of my hometown, the familiar brick and wooden walls, understated decor, and lively ambience of peak lunch time bring me back to simpler times. The food is, as expected, fantastic. The wait times were not long, and the value you can get out of a signature sandwich and choice of soup/salad is very fair. If I lived here, Cheese & Coffee would be one of my go-to lunch spots.

Best service ever

This place was packed. The food was amazing- but the service was passive aggressive at best. Maybe it was because we were situated towards the center of the restaurant? But being passed over for drink refills and having to wait an extended period of time just to get a to-go box that was manhandled for me... I'll pass on coming back. If anything, maybe I would consider carryout because dining in- sucked.

Never disappoints. Delicious food! The Big Apple or Reuben sandwich are my favs, and you must try the green chili chicken soup. Lunch time can be very busy so plan accordingly.

It was a really unwelcoming experience. The server was short with us when getting our order and then an older woman brought it to us but didnt make eye contact and threw it on the table then walked away. Our sandwiches were okay but I know now to just go to Panera. its one thing to treat me that way but not my father. I am never coming back

Finally had the opportunity to come here on a work trip and was not disappointed. Places like this are a dying breed unfortunately. Genuinely good food, clearly made with love. The people who own it and work there were welcoming, happy, and really seemed to care about what they’re doing. Absolute gem of a find. I’ll be back anytime I’m in ABQ.
