Weve been coming to this location for the last 4 weeks since first getting to Albuquerque and have had nothing but a great experience until today. Ella was amazing and so nice. She helped us choose a pour over using the syphoning process and explained everything. Nathan on the other hand was extremely rude from the moment we walked in. We were trying to read the names of the coffee and he shooed us away. After Ella had already rang us up for our coffees using a gift card, Nathan shouted across the coffee shop saying that we had not paid and that he needed to ring us up. Thank goodness for Ella to explain to him that she had already taken care of it and then he proceeded to ask her HOW we paid. Really?! As a US ARMY COMBAT VETERAN I have never felt more disrespected. Seems like colored people are not accepted here. Never will be returning to Micheal Thomas!

Hell yes! Coffees and teas of all kinds and numerous ways to have them. Knowledgeable staff, place is clean, great atmosphere. The garden patio is perfect.

Helpful and knowledgeable baristas! Their espresso beans used tasted more on the fruity/acidic side, and all latte sizes come with 2 shots of espresso. Really cute place, I’m happy to have stopped

Coffee like Ive never had before. Located in a cute little neighborhood off Central Ave., and within walking distance of UNM campus, MT Coffee is a really nice place to chill and have some coffee. A great selection of coffee and treats!

Pretty good coffee. The pour over was good, the latte was very milk heavy. One of the staff was quite combative, pretentious, and unwelcoming whilst another staff member was very sweet and conversational. Covid protocol was followed and enforced which felt very safe.

Really great place. Relaxed atmosphere. Super clean. Inside or outside, an all around pleasant stop.

Serious coffee. Like, I dont think Ive ever seen a place where you can get coffee prepared in whatever way you want by such a knowledgeable group of people. And they even offer classes to learn. And have a wall of every coffee bean you could want. All in a relaxing space. I got a Mikes Mocha, which had some sort of low key berry flavor that accented the chocolate. Very tasty. Next time though, Ive got to try the nitro cold brew, or the Mizudashi method coffee.

Always friendly and willing to chat with you, it doesnt matter how busy they are. Great service too!

The baristas were very friendly and more than happy to answer our questions. They explained the brews of the day and were very patient while we decided on our drinks. The coffee was delicious!

So glad we found this place! Coffee was great and the spot is lovely!

Visiting from WA, stayed 2 weeks in hotel on Yale, very happy to have this place a quick drive away. Servers could answer my questions and knew about their roast, were patient with my particulars, didn’t rush me & very friendly. Also- my latte was great each time. The morning is a great time, small space & busy but the customer base is laid back enough so it feels cozy & the hustle is fun ambiance. They have a great product selection for grinding/boiling/brewing/drinking... even wearing. Everything a traveler would need to make great coffee in their room too...

Super friendly service and great coffee selection. Would have liked more tea varieties but i love this place anyway!

One of the cutest cafes in town! I love the product they offer and the atmosphere in the cafe. I cant wait to sit outside on warmer days. Its a perfect place to get a lot of work done or have a good conversation!

What I dont know about coffee could fill a book. But I do know exquisite taste and subtle nouances of flavor. If youre into that, this is the place to try! Fabulous and entertaining to seeVery friendly and informative staff who are proud of their work.

This is a nice place to start the morning. There is a wide variety of coffee and tea to choose from, plentiful seating, WiFi and the staples of any good coffee shop suck as scones and muffins. The best part is that its local. No the best part is the good coffee.

What a fun coffee shop! Its got a unique interior with plenty of seating and lots of windows. Its a great place to study or talk quietly. The staff is friendly and will help you find the coffee you will love. They have 4 different types of coffee preparation from pour over to siphon. Their baked treats are great too. They even have a nice, secluded courtyard area.

Oh man, this coffee shop offers EVERYTHING I look for in a local cafe: home roasted coffee beans, baked goods from local bakeries, and good vibes. I absolutley loved coming here and trying their different roasts! When you enter the store, you will see the wall of fresh coffee beans that they have from all over the world.

I love Michael Thomas Coffee Roasters. Ive been going for years now and their coffee is the best Ive found in Albuquerque. My only complaint is they have the worst to-go cups and lids. Every time I take a cup of coffee to go, it ends up all over me and my car. Other than that, best coffee shop in Albuquerque, hands down.

Dont waste your time at Starbucks. Nicer people. Nicer atmosphere and a far better experience.

Love Michael Thomas coffee. So youll understand how disappointed I was to see they require masks to protect the employees. This isnt necessary and an inconvenience to the customers. Please follow the CDC and state guidance. And most of all, the science.

Had a very good flat white! Milk was expertly textured with lovely art. Staff friendly and efficient.

I really enjoy all Michael Thomas Coffee has to offer. Their breakfast burritos are fresh and their donut options go good with whatever coffee you order!

Excellent coffee, a wonderful garden patio, and really nice staff. Would recommend to anyone.

The barista was very friendly. Their chai was very delicious too. I really enjoyed the flavors. Loved that they have different types of milk options. Their little courtyard is so cute and they have multiple tables and seating areas. The vibe when I visited was very calm and laid back. They had a decent size indoor area, but during covid, I avoid them. 5/5

Great coffee, location nestled in nice neighborhood. Great area for bicycle rides.

Ive been here like three times and I love the coffee. Ive gotten great recommendations on beans, and the baristas are wonderful folks!

Sensational patio. Excellent coffee!

One of the best coffee shops in Albuquerque.

Cafe mole on ice is my new fave.

Really amazing coffee! Knowledgeable baristas. They know how to roast!

Very beautiful location and friendly customers. We met a regular and his dog, Ghost. I enjoyed a vanilla jasmine tea latte. I especially enjoyed the landscape and architecture of the building. My friends and I also had a friendly conversation with one of the neighbors. Very kind nice environment overall.

When I lived in Abq I would come to MTC every morning for a latte. Unfortunately, since then, their quality seems to have notably diminished with watery, tepid lattes and charges for glasses of water (?)

Latte was good, nice place, wifi, friendly staff.

One of the best coffee houses in town! Real baristas that know how to craft proper espresso drinks. Excellent and friendly service. And lets not forget that they roast there own coffee! Excellent!!!

Craving good, locally roasted coffee in Nob Hill? Come to this homey coffeeshop in a historic house with big wooden tables for your laptop on the corner of Silver + Bryn Mayr.

Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful staff. Delicious and rich coffee!

Great location, nice space inside and outdoor patio. Great coffee, cant wait to try the donuts!

Fade trade tea to perfection. Solo brew is also excellent. Wonderful place to study or to have a chat with a friend.

Fantastic pour over! Great friendly service with excellent tasting coffee! Recommend you to give it a try!

These guys know their coffee! Hosting their own in house roaster, you and your seeded are welcomed into a simple, neighborhood feel environment where you will be treated with an amazing brew. Smoothest redeye Ive ever had.

Excellent coffee shop with a great patio and very kind staff. Coffee is great, prices very good, too.

Wonderful Cortado and a cute outdoor space to sit. About as local as you can get for a coffee shop.

Convenient and amazing coffee! I work across the street and its hard not to go every day! I never understood the differences in coffee and a good roast until trying coffee here. Now I know what good coffee is

Visited this place for the first time some time ago and have been dying to go back! I tried their Mikea Mocha per recommendation and it is the best mocha Ive had to date. Definitely recommend checking out them out!

Was a pleasure visiting this place. Glad to come across baristas that actually know what theyre doing. The coffee selection is wide and great quality and the establishment is great. Looking forward to visiting again.

Outstanding place for delicious Cafe food. The bill was appropriate. Reminds me of a place in New York I loved to visit.

Heres a fine local coffee company. This place has excellent selection at very reasonable prices. The atmosphere is excellent for meetings of all kinds: study, business, or personal, youll enjoy your visit immensely. Employees are knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. The quality of coffee is superb. In an ideal world the layout would be better, but the current layout gives priority to seating and thats okay. Stop in for a quick cup and stay for a while. Youll like it here.

Love this place for the coffee and the atmosphere. They delivered curbside for me when I ordered and Ive had nothing but positive experiences. One of my favorites when Im in the area! Id love a location on the southwest side of town one day.

Now this is five star coffee. If you have not tried this place all I can say is “Why the heck haven’t you???” You are seriously missing out. The service is friendly, fast, and freaking awesome talented!I love the Hula Mocha I hope you always have this. Yummy. Last time I was here I got a heart in my latte foam and this time whipped cream and some chocolate.I am hooked. The parking is different but the atmosphere and quality of testament to their customers is worth a circle around the block or a block walk. Love you guys keep it up. You guys make me feel fancy.

Great place! Highly recommended for coffee options and ambiance!

Great vibes. Good big pot of tea for $4.Bright courtyard. Plenty of heads studying, writing. Fashionable young people. Friendly adobe off the main Nob Hill drag.

Best coffee beans in town. Try the Alba Rosa or Burundi for great medium roasts.

Awesome coffee with great flavor! Strongly recommend!

Quiet quaint coffee shop. Great staff. Delicious coffee.

Staff is always friendly and knowledgable. I always get whole beans from Michael Thomas and they are perfectly roasted. There are few places that can compare to the quality of coffee you get here.

Awesome shop, locally owned and beautifully set up, not as much outdoor seating but about 3-4 times the amount of indoor seating

Looking for the best coffee in Albuquerque? You got it at MTC!Great selection and their beverages are always on point, you wont go wrong with anything you get.This location is very nice and very well located. There is an inside and outside areas, where you can have a good conversation. I go here to work and study and it can get bit crowded at times, but the coffee is worth the issues if you have to wait for a good seat

I ordered four drinks and they were quickly made and absolutely delicious. They had my pound of coffee ready to grab when we were done on the patio. Exceptional service and great atmosphere.

Cute little place not far from UNM, with great coffee and pastries! They have online ordering!

Best coffee place in town. There’s a nice patio outside in the front and back to sit and enjoy your coffee, plus plenty of seating inside. it’s super quaint and relaxing inside. I recommend the iced hula mocha or bringing in your own mug to get the discount for a regular hot coffee. They use mason jars and mugs which is nice because it’s sustainable unlike plastic.

Amazing coffee and humans!

Introduced my sister to Michael Thomas and now anytime shes in town its a necessity. Her and her fiance love The Pam. I personally love the caramel macchiato with macadamia milk (dont forget to ask what sort of milk substitutes they have!). Great atmosphere and they recently installed new outdoor seating. Try the dukes runners blend if getting a bag to go

Yummy yummy yummy.

My go to hipster coffee shop nestled in the heart of nob hill. Great place to enjoy your favorite type of coffee and get a couple hours of work done on your laptop computer. The courtyard is gorgeous and a great place to hang with friends, go on a date, or simply read a book and soak up the sun.

Great coffee. Gentleman behind register was nice. Blonde girl making our pour over was quite rude and seemed like we annoyed her to no end.

Best local coffee roasters, great coffee /espresso drinks, and very knowledgeable staff.

Love the atmosphere, service, coffee, and food. =)

The girl taking orders made everything difficult and confusing. Kind of argumentative. Can I just order what I like?

Beautiful location, great coffee, and perfect ambiance.

My favorite cafe in the world!

My husband and I had our first date here. A year later he proposed out on the patio. Coffee is pretty great too.

A wonderful oasis of caffeine and tranquility.

A piece of Albuquerque, patient staff, lovely patio

The coffee is excellent. Pastry offerings were limited but very fresh and high quality. The patio is a treat to sit in. Situated in a charming, remodeled older home the interiors atmosphere is warm & seating is more than adequate. But I have always felt its a bit humid & stuffy inside. A lovely neighborhood place to go though.

Horrible service and experience. The cashier (blonde lady) was super rude, unfriendly and unwelcoming. The coffee wasn’t even great. I could’ve grabbed a better coffee anywhere else. I definitely don’t recommend.

Great neighborhood cafe with top quality coffee.

If you want a goof cup of coffee, there are several places around town to go. If you want to sit snd relax with a good book or a good friend, there are several places around town to go. However, if you want a GREAT cup of coffee AND a wonderfully relaxing place to enjoy it over a good book or with a friend (or both!) then head to Michael Thomas Coffee. Coffee selection is second to none, staff has always been great, and the little courtyard tucked away in back is a hidden oasis. I liked the tables and chairs in the courtyard more than the new picnic tables but it is still a great place to sit for awhile. Enjoy!

Fire coffee, specifically mike’s mocha, which i got because of suggestions:)

The coffee gets a 4 star, but the 3 star is for poor service. I love going to small local coffee shops for the coffee and atmosphere. The cafe was nice with a roaster in the back, but the service was poor. Neither of the guys working there were helpful or friendly. One example was when I asked it there was a trash can, instead of offering to take it or saying where it was they just pointed and didnt say anything.

Great coffee and tasty breakfast burritos! I also enjoyed a green smoothie. Nice sitting areas indoor and outside.

Very quaint Nob Hill type place. If you are there for a private conversation, youll need to go outside. So go when the weather is nice!

I really like this coffee shop and I can always count on them to make a good drink for me. The location is nice and there is plenty of space to sit and relax or work. There’s also lovely seating outside which is nice even on a hot summer day. The staff is usually friendly for the most part. The prices are neither cheap nor expensive, right around or a bit above chain prices.

Atmosphere and location are great, staff is lovely, quality of coffee is high, but the drink standards are low. I ordered a cappuccino (a 6 oz drink) and got a 12 oz latte in a to-go cup, which I guess is becoming the norm. A solid inch of milk foam floated on top, pretty badly scorched. For the price I expected more expertise. Still, its a very nice shop and house brews are decent. Dont count on top-notch espresso drinks, though. Humble, Prismatic, and Deep Space are much more consistent.

Although it could be difficult to spot if youre driving, this seemingly tiny coffee house (literally an old house) opens up to quite a large space inside, with patios front and back to enjoy nicer weather. They have an impressive selection of blends, single-source; and Fair Trade coffees.The staff is friendly and efficient, and the music is not overwhelmingly loud.Grab a cup, and a pound of beans to go.

Michael Thomas is a wonderful little neighborhood coffee shop. I occasionally meet my wife and/or friends there to socialize and drink truly delicious coffee. They roast a wide variety of coffees at a reasonable price.

Friendly, knowledgeable, great atmosphere -a literal coffee HOUSE! Tried the Africano not my usual espresso drink... was beautifully complex and delicious!

My Fiance and I were visiting Albuquerque for business and we ran into this coffee shop. We were very impressed; so impressed that I brought back a few pounds of his light roast when we returned to Minneapolis. I was very pleased to see that theyll ship this fine coffee to us and have been doing so since. Minneapolis has some good coffee, however, its just not quite as good as the way Michael Thomas does things.

If you like fancy coffee this is the place for you

I really like Michael Thomas’ coffee. They have a nice welcoming little staff who make some really great soy lattes and hot chocolates. They tempt me with some great pastries and have a fantastic little window to local events and happenings. This is one of their two locations and is smaller than the one on Silver. It’s nicely located next to the 16 bus stop and I believe they maintain the garbage can at that stop.They’re in a odd little plaza for a group of holistic businesses. Parking can get a little weird. There’s street parking which I don’t recommend and there’s the church parking lot across the street which is a little better.(A gym stop and three Pokéstops within walking distance)

Excellent coffee roasted in small batches. The building is pretty small but they do have outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. Highly recommend buying some of their coffee in bulk to take with you. The staff is always great and very helpful if you have questions. This is a really great alternative to the commercial shops

I have only had the regular drip coffee and each time I have loved it. The small outside patio is great in the summer. I have only stopped by before I got my haircut nearby and would love to try other types of coffee drinks they offer. They offer a lot of different whole beans you can purchase.

Customer service and product quality rarely match. Nearly every review notes the difference between these two important aspects of a business. Michael Thomas Coffee manages to excel at both in equal measure. Their coffee tastes fantastic. Their attention to the customer earns loyalty. Coffee shops, both established and new, could learn a lot about the magic that happens when both quality coffee and quality customer service are found in the same space.

Perfect. Cant be improved upon. Also, the coffee is good.

Beautiful place to sit and enjoy great coffee! Friendly & fun. Family-owned, fair-trade. Glad this place was recommended to me!

Quaint chill place

Michael Thomas is a quiet calm place when you need a break from your day. Its a good place to work, to chill, to study or to listen to a distressed friend. Drinks and snacks are reasonably priced and well-made. The biggest criticism in both locations is parking. The Silver location has a few spots and Carlisle has zero. Parking can be hectic, then you NEED to come in and chill. But its a good place, its worth it

The best coffee roaster in Albuquerque, and quite likely, in the state of New Mexico. The coffee is good, as are the cold drinks and food, but if youre a coffee aficionado you owe it to yourself to get some of their single-source, whole-bean coffee. As a general rule, I havent bought blends in over a decade because theyre a way to hide bad beans with good beans, but Im even a fan of the Red Sea Blend here (perfect for Greek/Turkish/Arabic coffee!)

Great coffee. Good food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. No parking to speak of (for those of us who live on other side of town, a bummer).

They were over priced for what they had to offer,but my drink was yummy,my husband didnt like his,our kids enjoyed there cocoa & doughnut!!

First one star review. Good coffee but terrible service.
