Coffee Shops near Kirtland Afb

“4.5 stars I had been seeing a lot of chatter about Pink Pony from my boss and in the "ABQ Foodies" group on facebook. My first thought was that it was just simple soft serve, but it was so much more than that. The shop was around the corner from the main shopping center, so it was a little confusing to find at first. There is some seating inside and some benches outside, but as popular as this place was with seeing everyone come in and out, I think that should definitely be the main point of expansion. My mom got a root beer float and I the s'mores sundae (~$7). The marshmallows and toppings are all homemade (and the marshmallows come in several flavors). The sundae itself was a good size and topped with a gooey marshmallow. The brownie sundae also seemed to be a popular one. Love supporting local. 2024 #1“

“I really enjoy this coffee shop, all my drinks have been good. They have a nice selection of pastries and food, great vegan options.My only complaint is that there is a very strong air freshener or room fragrance odor. It is very overwhelming to me, and I’m not usually sensitive to perfumes or scents. My go to drink is an americano and while the drink is very good there is a hint of the fragrance in the after taste so it’s not as enjoyable as it has been before. This isn’t the first time the scent in the shop has been strong but this is the first time I’ve noticed it in my drink.Everything else about this place is great, plenty of space to meet up with friends or get some work done.“

“Can't speak highly enough of this spot. My husband and I try and go to every coffee shop in the city and this is easily the best. Unassuming and chill vibes lead to amazing coffee and incredible pastry options. Prices are super reasonable without sacrificing quality. Staff was really friendly and engaged. Can't wait to learn more about this spot and come back to try even more!Only thing I would want is later hours so I can bring my friends!“

“The location was a little hidden but once we found the coffee shop we were very pleased by the prompt and friendly staff that were enjoyable and pleasant. The Dirty Chai was very delicious but the breakfast burrito left something to be desired. I think they should put cheese in the burrito and serve with salsa. Would come back. Super enjoyable space.“

“Been coming here since around 2020. Great cozy spot to work on things, read a book, or hang out with a coffee in hand. Matt, Josh, Steve and everyone else that works there I've met are all very friendly and kind people. They have a humble and service oriented attitude shown through how they carry themselves and their actions. I believe they have been able to create a great community space centered around coffee where everyone feels welcome. Coffee is among the best in the city. When they switched from their old provider into roasting their own coffee (I think a year or more back) their coffee was just as great.“

“Really cute coffee shop in the North Northeast. Plenty of indoor or outdoor seating. You have great mountain views if you sit outside. Wifi is really good if you're catching up on some work. It's pretty quiet during the week if you like reading, but gets busy on the weekends. Lots of caffe options, if you like variety. Great social spot for bicyclists or hikers in the area who want a little break before or after their adventure!“

“Wonderful selection! Very kind and patient staff!!!! After having an awful experience at another "gluten free" place that only offered one singular GF option. This place was by far worth the drive from Rio Rancho on a Saturday morning. I've only been able to try a couple of the treats this morning and already blown away by the flavors. They had a selection for my entire family to enjoy. Chile cheddar biscuits with a little clotted cream ?. This place is truly a hidden gem.“

“I’m visiting New Mexico and this has easily become my favorite Boba place! They have great fruit smoothies, and a combo meal that is the best deal I’ve found out here with a sandwich or breakfast item + boba drink! Also they have strong WiFi and a nice space for work and meetings (there’s a nice private area in case you need to get on a zoom meeting). Travelers to Albuquerque, this is a great destination for you to do some work and get boba!“

“Cutbow is the best coffee shop in Albuquerque, I can never get enough of it. Paul, the owner, is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, and never fails to greet anyone who comes in to the shop. I’ve been going to cutbow for over a year, and every time I am satisfied. Their coffee is delicious and the staff is knowledgeable about every item on the menu whenever I have questions. I will never stop going to cutbow!“

“Cute spot for a drink!Standard prices, laid back atmosphere. Here for your caffeine and alcohol needs all day!We had the Santa Fe Social Hour, the Espresso Martini and sampled their house house coffee porter. All are delicious!CJ is an excellent barista/bar tender. Can’t wait to come back!Edit: no food in building but they have food trucks Thursday’s and Sunday’s“

“Had the most delightful time at the unicorns and fairies tea party. If you want fancy and formal, this is not it. This is fun and the place for your inner child.Kid-friendliness: Great place for kids to dress up and feel fancy without being too formal. I'd say age 4 to 5 on up.“

“Our new favorite spot!! They are so fast, so nice, and the food is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend their bahn mis!! The lemongrass beef is my favorite!! The spring rolls are also amazing, really big and I love their peanut sauce! Great prices and excellent portions! Definitely check it out!!“

“Need to start giving more positive reviews and props to the place I actually enjoy going to regularly. This Boba house is one of those places.Really love the Boba here, especially the orange oolong tea, as well as the strawberry and peach fruit blends.The owners are always super nice and usually never wait long for my drink.“

“We stayed within 100 feet of this place from a Sunday night until Saturday. It was painful to have to wait until Thursday morning to stop by since they are closed M-W, but it was worth the wait.Friendly, helpful staff. Great food with some unusual twists.Maybe one of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had, very good butter croissant, good chocolate croissant and very good coffee.“

“A smallish coffee house that serves great food. Lovely, friendly staff, an amazing huevos rancheros and chicharrones. It was the perfect breakfast with a friend.Shame I couldn't finish it and take the leftovers with me but was on my way to the airport! But it will be a regular stop when I'm in ABQ.“

“Are ya ready kids???Yeah!I can't hear you!!!I feel like I'm walking into Bikini Bottom every time I go in. I love it!! And the fact it's right across the street from one of the movie studios makes it even better. This place is great! They've decorated really well, the big "nap pod" chair by the front is AMAZING! It's so comfy.. They have games for kids (and adults too I suppose). Looks like they have a little lounge area in the back..not sure if they have a gaming console or not.. either way, it's cool.The drinks are great, too! Currently having the Thai Tea..one of my fav's. The other day I had the hot chai tea. Gotta say the chai is REALLY good!Yes, it's a little out of the way, but you should make the trip. It's a really neat little joint!Kid-friendliness: The place is literally built for kids to have fun!Wheelchair accessibility: Very ADA friendly.“

“Lovely atmosphere and staff. Discount for first timers/"refer a friend". So happy to see this shop in the South Valley.Vegetarian options: Baked goods, garden soup, vegetarian breakfast burritoWheelchair accessibility: Parking, front entrance, bathroom“

“Great coffee shop conveniently located right across from The Turquoise Museum. I stopped in for breakfast and enjoyed a green chile breakfast burrito and a chai latte. There are plenty of outlets to plug in and space to set up to do some work on your laptop. Friendly and funny staff, thanks so much!“

“Their bagels are very good but they are on the small side for the price. They are accomodating when you ask for something but some of the servers could be a little nicer. They are definitely the best bagels in town and make them the right way but for now I will continue to get mine in Phoenix when I am there or someone else I know is going to Chompies. They make them well too and they are far less expensive.“

“ABQ Coffee is an excellent option for starting your morning off on the right foot. ABQ Coffee is a small business, with an uncomplicated menu, and friendly staff. When I came in, I asked for a recommendation for someone on their first time to their shop and was given a quick rundown of what I was looking at on the menu. I was stuck between the Bee-Sting and Mexican Mocha so I went with the mocha and had a quiche to go with it. I enjoyed my meal so much so, that I kept them in mind for the following morning as I wanted to stop in and stock up on souvenirs as well as attempt a haircut at the Collective. I had the Bee-Sting that morning and an Avocado Toast, both of which were of the same quality as the previous day's fare.“

“I've been there multiple times. This one was better than those. I had a savory breakfast crepe with bacon, spinach, and tomatoes along with a bottomless cup o' Joe (Italian roast). The food was its usual yum and the service exceptionally friendly.“

“One of the most flavorful coffees I have had in a while. I thoroughly enjoyed being here. The coffee was top tier and the scone I decided to get was absolutely delicious! The service was great, fast, and friendly. I would definitely recommend and will be returning in the future.“

“I wish the layout of the room is different. Perhaps the counter is in the middle and so separate the people eating in on one side..the people taking out or dining in the patio on one side. Since there are 2 doors it would avoid peeps getting clustered. Coffee is great, croissant need more crusty on outside, fluffy inside and less chocolate“

“Everything at Napoli Coffee is amazing! The staff is always friendly and I love the atmosphere too. The Black Forest is my favorite drink but they are all very yummy! I also love to come here to shop for handcrafted gifts or to pick up a new pair of earrings.“

“Oh my goodness...the trip is worthwhile just to smell the teas! Such an extraordinary selection. So much guidance you'll receive to make your just right choice. Sample chai and browse a gorgeous selection of tea cups and accessories, noodle bowls, rugs, decor, journals and so much more. I found a beautiful kimono. Sign up for a free taste of tea monthly. Parking is on site and handicap accessible. Buy gift cards! Combine your trip with a visit to the many wonderful businesses nearby. Located at Mountain and 12th. See my review of the bakery next door with a goodie ATM.“

“I ordered a loose leaf turmeric and ginger tea latte. It was absolutely delicious and the staff answered all of my questions about what I was ordering. The staff even checked me while I sipped my tea to make sure I liked it. I'll definitely be trying more of their menu.“

“Ordered a few things to go. Love the pork meat bun! It’s very flavorful and a lot bigger than a Xiao Long Bao. The meat is juicy and very well-seasoned. Bun itself is moist and just the right amount of dough. I also ordered cold sesame noodles, fried tofu and pork stew rice w/egg. What a nice hidden gem in Albuquerque! Owner is very nice too. Everything reminds me of home!“

“This little unassuming coffee shop is right around the corner from our office and I've driven by it so many times wondering how it is. Finally got the chance to stop in and was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is cozy and quaint with a small, but variety-filled menu. I got the buddy latte since my old body has begun to rebel on me and milk products. Delicious drink! Try to stop in if you can!“

“This place is beautiful in any season and has a coffee blend that I particularly enjoy. Their chef, David, at the cafe change a good portion of the menu every couple of weeks and the food is excellent and reasonably priced.. I had their Turkey and Brie sandwich with fresh herbs which came with homemade potato chips. Will return for the changing menu!Parking: Free parking to anyone on human powered bikes always and weekend charge for gas or E powered vehicles, $5 which goes to a local charity.“

“The tea was delicious. I got an orange peach tea with strawberry Boba. There was fresh orange in the tea which was refreshing. Atmosphere is nice and decor is cute. I met a friend here and we stayed for 2 hours just chatting and drinking our tea. I will be a repeat customer.“

“Came here with my parents on my 35th Birthday and I enjoyed every moment of it. The food , the atmosphere and the people were all great. My family really enjoyed the great food and the great service. Thank you for the cookie too I enjoyed every bite ! I would definitely go back again!Vegetarian options: Vegan friendlyDietary restrictions: Healthy food options.Parking: Very open space.Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly“

“Amazing quality and friendly service!! Didn't even get pictures of the food because it was devoured too quickly. Limited seating inside, but during the warmer months they have a lovely patio to enjoy the weather. Very traditional and limited coffee options, but after tasting the croissants and butter biscuits, the baked goods are all you need to buy here.“

“The coffee was great. They really know what they're doing and I love that you can look at the beans and smell them, as well as read about them before buying. I was nerding out so hard about that. The latte I got was delicious. The food was average. Not bad but not amazing. There wasn't enough seating so I had to go sit in my car to eat my breakfast because it wasn't warm enough for outdoor seating, but when I looked around there were only maybe 5 parties total so not a lot of people, there's just not a lot of dine in seating space. I would have given 5 stars if I was able to find seating inside.“

“Growing up in Albuquerque developed in me a true love for "Red or Green" culture. Living out of state now makes me crazy living without it, so, when I visit I want the real deal food of the "Burque!" Tia Betty Blues is my new favorite. My Navajo sculptor friend, Natiya, introduced me and now I'm hooked.You can see in the pictures the food, and they don't skimp. Look at the size of that Carne Adovada burrito compared to his hands. It's massive! I got a 4-egg omelette smothered in green chile with calabacitas (zucchini and corn), and my other friend had blue corn waffles with strawberries.Next time I'm in Albuquerque this will be the first place I go, and probably more than once. I highly recommend it, especially in warm weather, when you can sit outside. I think the owner also has the Waffleria (?).Parking: Parking lot is somewhat small so go at times of least business.“

“Beautiful little cozy coffee shop. The drinks are phenomenal and the inside is gorgeous. I recently moved to the area and it’s the one closest to me and I could be happier. They have some of the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had in my life and I’m obsessed with their cold brews. The staff is always kind and gets orders out in a quick and timely manner. Super happy that I’m so close to this gem of a coffee shop!Vegetarian options: They have some good vegan breakfast options and good milk substitutes as well!“

“This place is an absolute need. One million stars if I could. I remember when my partner and I first walked in: the store was opening Everybody was so welcoming, and we were given the best food ever. (We still are, this restaurant is fantastic.) This location is equivalent to the Ratatouille scene where Remy and Emile taste food together. I am Remy, admiring the quality of the food, my MEAL. I am also Emile, where I ravenously eat their food as if I were starving for three months, and this is the first thing I've seen coming back to civilization. You will never understand the craving for Phamily's food until you've had it. As for the hospitality, I love it. Ever since visiting this location from opening, I have felt the same welcoming atmosphere every time I step through those doors. I appreciate the hard work that Phamily shows to their customers through their food, so I hope more customers share the same energy when stopping by to eat! My review is about how Phamily's food makes me feel and how great the place is. Again, you must try something you like in order to experience the Phamily experience. I can guarantee you that everything on that menu is good. Even if it's tea, an entrée, a small side. Check out the place for yourself and see what grasps your interest!“

“We always enjoy this restaurant every time we visit. Service and food are perfectly wonderful. All the staff are wonderful and are the friendliest people. The cooks are great and make awesome and delicious food. I strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food.“

“What a clean, well thought out coffee house. They roast beanson site. The light roast is what i had, it was a great choice. They have alternatives to milk. Macademia, oat and soy milk. My son had the espresso it was also delicious.. Lookedlikean eclectic crowd of University students and business folks.. I highly recomend.“

“I was very excited to try their burritos, but it was meh. The scrambled egg inside was nice and juicy, and then completely ruined by dry potato fries (tasting like yesterday’s leftovers) and rubbery turkey sausage. The green chile was more like a gravy, didn’t give the fresh spicy zing I was looking for. All in all, very underwhelming. I’ve had a much better burrito in a hotel breakfast 3 days ago“

“It was my first time and I was impressed. I'm not sure if the gentleman working was the owner but he was very friendly and helpful. He went over the menu with me and gave me great recommendations. I ended up getting the pralines & cream shake, with mocha latte protein powder and chopped pecans. Hands-Down bomb! Thank you for the great shake! ????“

“We stopped in to try this place because our favorite brunch place had a 45 minute wait and our kids were hungry. To be fair the bar was set high comparing this restaurant to our favorite. However they did not disappoint. ☺️ The wait wasn’t bad at all while waiting we were offered mimosas which were nice. There were 5 of us and 3 of the 5 ordered the Duke City biscuits and Gravy. I had the Croque Madame and the other dish ordered was the breakfast burrito. All dishes were good, the service was excellent we were even offered to go cups of our drinks which is highly unusual where we are from. The atmosphere had great energy, and all the patrons seemed happy and enjoying themselves like us! I am sure we will visit again next time we are in Albuquerque. Thank you for making our morning wonderful!“

“Was looking for a good cup coffee and found a gem .This is the best Latte I have had in a long time.excellent coffee and presented nicely.The Cinnamon roll was also very good.Will be back and can recommend to any coffee lover.Pleasant atmosphere and likewise people“

“Little Bear is a wonderful place to get coffee! The Uptown location is my favorite and their Little Bear latte is delicious! They offer burritos, assorted donuts, and other goodies that never disappoint. If you’re in the area, definitely add this sweet coffee shop to your list of things to do!“

“Our first time here, and we really enjoyed the experience. The guy that took our order was so friendly and helpful. We chose the regular crust but will definitely be going back to try our pizza on the blue corn crust. Pizza was cooked perfectly ? The blue corn biscochito has easily become a favorite. Pretty cool concept to serve pizza at a Mexican bakery!“

“Red Rock is a hidden gym in NM. I don't live in the state any longer and still order their coffee. I buy a lot of fresh roasted coffee and they are still at the top of my list for best, most consistent roaster. The staff is also friendly and helpful. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality of the coffee.“

“Very small coffee shop connected to a very large tattoo parlour. The atmosphere was very nice, and at first me and my brother were able to have a nice chat, but as soon as two other people showed up, it was way too difficult to chat anymore. I realize that this is a coffee shop inside a tattoo shop, but it might be a good idea to expand the coffee shop a little, at least more dedicated seating. But coffee was delicious and I had a good time. Next time I will be taking it to go though.“

“This place was amazing!! Everything on the menu was so delicious and the staff was so friendly!! We loved it so much that we went back the next day as well- which is not something we ever do when traveling! Prices are reasonable and the portions are huge!! Highly recommend!!“

“I visited this coffee shop while on a walk with my dog. I got a house coffee which was a delicious dark roast and I sat on the patio with my dog. The girl that worked there was really sweet and set my dog up with water and a dog biscuit. The patio was nice and had lots of seating, and I can imagine it would be beautiful once the trees leaf out and the umbrellas are up. I will definitely be back for the house made vegan chocolate cake that was in the case.“

“Really lovely space and friendly ladies at the counter service! I tried the oak vanilla latte and it was truly amazing. I liked the flavor a lot and still a nice robust coffee flavor too. Thank you! On previous visits I've tried the drip coffee and the Cortado and liked those quite a bit as well. Ive also tried a couple of the gourmet donuts and was pleasantly surprised...not being disappointed by a roughly $5 donut is a success haha! ?“
