50 Best Coffee Shops in Albuquerque

“I just happened to pull into the parking lot and saw the sign for Lala Cafe so I went in. It is so nice and cute inside! Very welcoming atmosphere. Games to play while you drink and dine in and very nice, relaxation areas. I wish we had a Lala Cafe in Santa Fe!“

“Stopped here with coworkers after office hours and the environment worked perfectly for casual conversation. The cappuccino had smooth foam and the cheesecake texture was soft without being too sweet. One of our drinks arrived with less ice than requested, but the server corrected it immediately and stayed professional the whole time.“

“What a lovely atmosphere with music and great tasting food!“

“I booked Sueños Coffee truck for my staff for teacher appreciation week. Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and they got all the drinks out quickly! I loved the Lavendar Latte I got! The shots were NOT burnt, and it wasn’t too sweet either, which is perfect for my taste. Thank you so much for coming out and blessing us!“

“Great coffee, great environment, staff is very friendly“

“Been going there for years. It is very similar to the food I ate growing up.“

“Best bread ever! Big congratulations on the James Beard recognition. No surprise there at all. Anyone who has had the pleasure of tasting their bread is a lucky person.“

“Bikes, coffee, Americana vibes. I don't know what more you could want. Their coffee is amazing, they're a local Albuquerque roaster with a love for motoring heritage and some of the most welcoming and friendly staff you've ever met. Prices are amazing as well. Nothing pretentious or fake about them. I'm absolutely becoming a regular.“

“Accommodating, cute, affordable, and amazing service!“

“We had such a blast tonight singing karaoke 🎤 and eating some FANTASTIC cajun food from the food truck. Friendly DJ, great wait staff and baristas with a large array of coffee and alcoholic drinks. Cozy environment with an edge. Recommended for a solo visit or larger groups. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“My doggo and I enjoyed coffee out front“

“Tried Curious Toast for the first time, had the Toasty Elote, and it was great! Will be back!“

“My absolute favorite coffee shop in Albuquerque.“

“Great vegan burrito. Super affordable and staff was great!“

“I recently attended a get together at Little bear & truly enjoyed it! The coffee was the best I had had in quite some time! The owners are welcoming & the staff was friendly, very competent & attentive. They are a direct reflection of the proprietors! I treated myself to a donut that was to die for!! A winning combination with the delicious coffee!“

“Their service here is top tier. Every time I've visited, everyone is so kind and has great energy. This time I mentioned not loving my drink last time & was told to always let them know if I don't like it so they can remake it!? LOVE that. Special shout out to Jonathan at this location - dude has great vibes and double checked that I liked my drink before I drove off. Thanks guys! You've taken over as my favorite coffee stop on my way to school.“

“My favorite location, they’re always the best! The last time I visited though, the service was beyond exceptional. The server (I think her name was Taya) was super friendly and helpful, she suggested her favorite drink and it was the BOMB!“

“amazing cinnamon rolls. n doughnuts are soo good! I drive 120 miles to get them!“

“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.“

“Great coffee and friendly people.“

“We have had coffee at Cup of Cozy twice. The coffee tasted fresh and brewed perfectly. In contrast (in my opinion) Starbucks coffee has a burned taste. There are Christian scriptures and messages on the walls and even on the paper cups, which I liked. They play Christian music, too. I would rather have silence. But if I have to hear music at a store, I would rather hear that than the loud and sometimes vulgar music that some stores play. Cup of Cozy has a menu with lots of modern coffee drinks. But we haven't tried the fancy drinks.“

“Excellent and genuinely friendly service. Ryan made me a perfect machiatto despite it not being a menu item and found me a sweet muffin that wasnt on display because I was craving something sweet. Coffee was excellent. Can't wait to stop back.“

“Didn't even know about this spot until I stopped in to hit up the Team Bahay food truck in the parking lot, but I was very pleased to find it! The beverages are great, the atmosphere is chill, the employees are pleasant, and I love the fact you can openly consume there. Will definitely go again.“

“Fantastic staff! The coffee is great! Atmosphere is very nice and relaxed. The oatmeal is ready good too!“

“Just had a great breakfast where the owner met me at the counter with a fresh cup of great coffee. The food was great, especially the home made biscuit and gravy! The location is perfect, close to Old Town ALBQ and the freeway and he atmosphere is great, too. Next time, I’m driving through ALBQ, I’ll definitely stop by again.“

“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.“

“My absolute favorite coffeehouse in Albuquerque. Their specialty coffee lattes are delicious and they are located right in the heart of Old Town which makes for a great place for a stroll while you enjoy your coffee. They are also pet friendly and offer "pup cups" of whipped cream for dogos.“

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

“We got breakfast burritos and coffee and it was absolutely delicious! The burritos were a great size and it was affordable! For 2 large iced coffees and 2 burritos it was $30!“

“Amazing little coffee shop. I love the atmosphere. Right away you feel relaxed! The coffee is like nothing else ❤️👌“

“Nice place. Excellent coffee“

“Great place, great people!“

“absolutely love this place! Amazing coffee- I especially love their espresso in a cappuccino or latte and I love their cold brew. Highly recommend! They also have an amazing atmosphere to study in- lots of space and outlets. Even some areas to stand! Favorite place in ABQ“

“The food is delicious, the coffee is hot and tasty, the items for sale are eclectic and delightful and the service is exemplary“

“Stopped between appointments this AM. Amazing coffee and smells.“

“1st time customers....I had the root beer float and my partner had Mahs favorite. The vanilla soft serve was delicious but what made it stand out was the Zia rootbeer. Mahs favorite was also delicious. Got to meet Britney and Erik and had a lil conversation w them. We will be back as we notice they also serve an orange julius. Nice and cozy place to enjoy a fresh treat. Thank you for making this experience a good one.“

“I am grateful that they have gluten free pastries. There aren't too many places that do. The atmosphere is comfy. The staff is also friendly and helpful.“

“Stopped into Slow Burn by accident. Top tier service. Thank you Jo Jo“

“Visited whilst in Albuquerque last Saturday & Sunday morning. Bagels and coffee are wonderful with very friendly staff. The added bonus was the live music from Iain Cummings. Great way to spend weekend mornings.“

“Such a cool place to hang out, eat and have great conversation. Very open and roomy. Greeted as soon as we walked in the door. The gentleman was extremely nice and helpful. Ordered the sunday sando and short rib breakfast burrito. Both were very delicious and flavorful. The sandwich was altered a bit, instead of prosciutto bacon was added and it was absolutely divine. The short rib burrito had such good depths of flavor. The london fog tea was in my opinion one of the best london fogs I have ever had. Definitely recommend eating here!“

“While visiting ABQ, we found Golden Crown. Our only disappointment was that we didn't find it earlier in our trip 😀 Everything we tried was incredible!“

“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.“

“Everything we tried was amazing. The mini Bundt cake was 🤩!“

“To be blunt, the matcha and desserts they offer swept me off of my feet. Every time I visit, I always end up buying the honeycomb bread, it is unlike anything I've had before. The drinks are also really good but I've been super loyal to their matcha options so I haven't explored the rest of the menu yet. They use real matcha!!“

“This Satellite has saved my mornings. The girls who work there on Saturdays will be written into my will. The drinks are consistently perfect and the food options are great as well! I love the specials a lot too. The pumpkin pie drink in the fall is better than anything Starbucks could dream of concocting. Also right now they have a lavender white mocha drink and I want it injected straight into my veins. Love this place!! 🫶🏼“

“I pulled up with a bunch of HeRos for some morning coffee and ended up getting so much more than that.
Owner Lee is one of the kindest people you'll meet, and the food is absolutely incredible. Everything tastes like it was made from scratch with a healthy serving of homemade love mixed in. Monica serves up the fire behind the counter and somehow manages to be just as warm and welcoming as the food itself.
Places like this are getting harder and harder to find. Great people, amazing food, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like family the moment you walk through the door.
Come here. Not just because the coffee and food are fantastic, but because supporting good people doing good things is the right thing to do.“
