The ABQ Collective

Abq coffee is my regular choice when I’m wanting to treat myself. My partner and I arrived, there was only one barista. I ordered an oat milk matcha and an iced coffee with cream for my partner. The barista asked if we wanted whole milk or half and half. I replied whole milk. When our order was called I approach the counter where the barista is holding half and half over a very milky looking iced coffee. Fine, my partner got half and half instead was my thought, but then the barista asked me to tell her how much cream I wanted added. I said it looks good as it is and she said she didn’t add any yet and proceeded to poor in half and half. I tell her that’s enough and ask what the drink is she made. She had made a late. I reminded her that I ordered an iced coffee. She replied that they do not have iced coffee, only coffee that comes from the espresso machine. I thought it was strange that it wasn’t mentioned at the register or that an Americano wasn’t offered instead. She offered to remake it but my partner was okay with what was presented. When we get back to the car I take a sip from my matcha and it tastes like watery oat milk. We ran back to the house so I could add matcha powder to it myself. I truly believe this barista was new and left there to work by herself because I had never seen her before. Extremely unprofessional of the establishment and discouraging to the barista herself. Luckily I had some points that I was able to redeem so our terrible experience went from $13 to $9. 3 stars instead of 1 because I’ve had many wonderful experiences with both the coffee shop as well as browsing the shops for gifts. Please provide the proper support for your staff.

Cute and quaint. There's a little something here for everyone. Great place to get your hair done and also grab a Coffee.

This place is a hidden gem! Stores are stocked with unique handmade items from local businesses. Everyone here is so friendly. I can't wait to come back and see what I find

My favorite place in abq to go shopping for local artists trinkets & jewelry! They have the coolest tattoo shop in the city by far! You have to check this place out to believe it. Also, best hair stylists in abq. Annette Atencio is amazing for a cut and color!

ABQ Collective! The cutest place! Everyone that works there is so friendly and helpful. The owner creates welcoming place! 100% recommend!

Love love love the Collective! Whether it’s snagging a palo santo candle at Bad Moon, new earrings at Root and Feather, new ink and the amazing atmosphere in Dark Mark Arts or any of the other wonderful spots. Such an amazing group of people and goodies. And the new bathroom signage is both adorable and amazingly inclusive! Thank you for such a great place to shop and hang out!!!

I love this place! There's so much to see, and the cafe makes it really convenient. Dark Mark Arts is my favorite, although I really enjoy visiting the other locations located within the Collective. The recent updates to the bathrooms really emphasize how everyone is welcome and is very inclusive. Can't wait to see what comes next.

So, I ordered a cappuccino with added vanilla to it ( which is an additional extra cost), so to make a vanilla cappuccino. But, let me tell you what, there was no vanilla nothing about it, I couldn't even taste it and the cappuccino coffee in and of itself wasn't that great neither with even adding two packets of sugar in the raw didn't help this disaster of a coffee. I also think the prices were pricey for what I got or rather lack thereof, since I paid extra but didn't taste it, etc. I do not recommend this coffee place at all. However, I will recommend their house made muffins. I had the cinnamon one and it was really really good, it was fresh and it was even heated up for me. Another thing, I would recommend would be the atmosphere, etc. of the Abq Collective because they even had a couple of violinists just to give you one example. There's a lot of cute little boutiques and services in the Collective as well.

Fun and quirky.

Come in and enjoy some cannabis, Destiny won't disappoint you she's the best person we've ever met ?

My favorite coffee shop and I love browsing the stores and picking up one of a kind items!
