“I have visited this wonderful coffee house several times while visiting Albuquerque. The owner and staff are always friendly and attentive. The coffee specials are top with interesting a local flavor. When I have ordered pastries they also have been plated well. The establishment is always busy, full of great vibes, and just a reliable place to go. I highly reccomend!“

My wife and I both tried the Cortado and were quite satisfied.“

“Great place to patronize. Excellent coffee and lemonade. 👍👍👍“

“Absolutely delicious drinks, social and friendly crew, and a super easy and clean drive thru! We ordered a mango blended lemonade, a sweet blended green tea, and a (I believe) white chocolate mocha blended coffee. All were just Absolutely delicious! Sweetened to perfection, amazing price, and variety of sizes offered! The coffee flavor was delicious and came through even with the added flavors. It was a nice, smooth, light and yummy flavor! Being able to blend any of the beverages was awesome and a great surprise! The tea and lemonade were soooo good and flavorful! The lemonade was tart and sweet with a generous mango splash and the green tea was cool and refreshing! 💯% recommend and can't wait to go back! The staff was great and held fun conversation while drinks were prepared!“

A lot of different varieties of coffees, fraps, matcha and teas and some bakery goods! Their coffees are made fresh and delicious! Not too sweet and perfectly balanced! Also the cafe is very nice, organized and clean! Love it and the location as well! 💕 (pictured is their coconut cascade cold brew)“

“Bagels were great. Coffee not so great. I have had better coffee at gas stations and McDonald’s. Would return for the bagels only“

“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.“

“Beautiful shop and customer service is the best.“

“Enjoying my morning cup of Adobe Morning as I write my review. Thank You NM Pinon Coffee Co.“

“we bumped into this gem of a coffee shop accidentally, but it was so meant to be! we came back multiple times during our visit to Albuquerque. delicious coffee, tea, chai lattes, matcha, pour overs. and the also have delicious food too - donuts, breakfast burritos, baked goods. yum! and they’re just a few doors down from Nekter, so you can get a green juice AND. quality coffee. that’s what we did ;)“

“Stopped by to get all my end of year gifts for my daughter’s teachers. This is my new favorite store! Second time shopping here and I will be a regular. They have beautiful stuff and the staff is so helpful and welcoming!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The vibe is definitely vibing at this coffee shop. The baristas were all so kind and welcoming. Very clean shop. The coffee was yummy. Not overly strong and not overly sweet. Quick service even though it was pretty packed. The food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing!!! And the owner Jose was very kind and explained the process of roasting coffee and the science behind it. Super cool dude. We cannot wait to go back!“

“Be warned!!! This place is dangerously good! I am 100% fan of the affogato. 2 shots of espresso poured over vanilla soft serve. Also vegan options are a major bonus!

Highly recommended for solo, date night, or family outing! Easy parking and centrally located.“

“I love it. Unlike other Vietnamese restaurants, the name is easy to remember and there's a two page menu. Bugs me going through a 10 page menu with 10 items listed 100 times. we order their spring rolls on our way to Costco. They make them right in front of you. Tasty and delicious an at eight dollars and several options, This is a great alternative to grabbing a burger on the way home to Edgewood.“
