Also known as Java Slows. 16 minutes to make one latte, completely incorrectly. And only to have the person slam the ice machine lid because I corrected them when they started to make my drink hot and not iced. But continued to still hand me my mocha with less than half the milk a 20oz latte should have. That was my last visit ever.

Cute place to grab a coffee. I liked the crepe that I ordered: strawberry Nutella. It was delicious and made fresh just how I like. I ordered the dulce de Leche late... it wasn't as sweet as I expected but that was probably because I ordered it iced instead of hot. There is plenty of seating and parking which makes the location very convenient to go to on a busy Sunday morning. The service was great and the cashier offered me suggestions about the menu.

Just stopped into Java Joe’s for a bite to eat and the burritos were so good ? the drip coffee too. It’s been my best experience in Albuquerque!! Super nice staff. Thanks for giving me a good experience, it’s super refreshing.

Java Joes is always a good time. i just recently tried their buckwheat crepes and i haven't stopped thinking about them since! paired with a side of fried eggs and sausage (for protein of course) and an iced dulce de leche latte (my absolute favorite drink to order there) you can't go wrong!! service is speedy and friendly, vibes inside are cheery and bright.

I come here mainly for the 54-cent day-old pastries when I'm running late for work or don't have breakfast at home. If not then, I either come for a smoothie (Java Joe's had the first protein powder that I didn't hate!) or something to fuel me at OffCenter, which is dangerously close.

This coffee house is teamed up with Whiting Coffee - they roast their own and for here in Albuquerque, that's rare. They've been roasting coffee for the last 20 years and know what they're doing.The building is old and rustic, made from the same elemental blocks of reality that made beat poetry and Gonzo journalism. The chairs are comfortable, the staff is amazing, and the coffee is great.Yes they can feed you if you eat gluten free.

More like a breakfast place than a coffee shop but I think it's because of the time I went. I had the le cordon Bleu sandwich and it was delicious! Tons of items on the menu, food and coffee, willing to try it again!

Open early! If you need to get an early start they open at 6:30. New Mexican comfort food plus crepes and good coffee.
Getting this review to appear: Take 5...(occurred on 2/16th or 2/18th)Since I don't know this person's pronouns, I'm using they/them.I was told the Blueberry Granola Pancakes came with whipped cream, but mine arrived without any. I asked for a specific muffin and received the other (only to notice at home). But the real icing was that the initial charge was for ~$77 even though my purchase only included those two and a cookie. When I pointed it out during the tipping step, the cashier seemed surprised and explained that they must've mistakenly entered my table # instead of the food cost. I'm honestly not sure if it was just a sleep deprived day for this person or intentional (racist) mistakes. Didn't notice anything negative with their vibe and iirc it was my first time interacting with them. ??♂️Mightest well point out that on both 7/29th and 7/30th of 2023, I walked in dressed in feminine clothes for the first time and felt supported by two staff members. I also felt intentionally disrespected by another who, when bringing my food outside, put emphasis on the last word in "Here you go, sir." This person also had some degree of a negative vibe while I spoke with the cashier inside and gave me the impression that they were peripherally side-eyeing me the whole time. I was visibly either a crossdresser or t-word, so there's no way the "sir" wasn't t-wordphobia.The bad news is that a different person used the same line in the same way on 7/29th. The good news is that I never saw either person there again after that. For any other t-word or GNC people curious: Plenty of guests stared, one or two gave a compliment, and two men got a little weird when I passed them. ??♀️For other dark-skinned/Black people curious: I don't recall any other problems there. ?I've been here plenty over the past six months and don't recall any other experiences of bad service, but the fact that 1) it took so many attempts just to get this review to appear and 2) I haven't seen the two supportive staff members there in the longest makes me not wanna bother returning. ?

This is hands down my favorite place to get breakfast in downtown Albuquerque!! Their food has always been 10/10, and the wait time is under 10 minutes even when they are JAM PACKED!!! So if you're hungry, don't worry! Everyone who works there is nice as nice can be too, from the first time I went in to the 100th, everything has been consistent. The dining area is very laid back and has an artistic vibe going on. I'll remain a regular customer for as long as I can be, and am thankful for this lovely lil spot!
