πŸ₯’πŸ₯’πŸ₯’ Their cold brew is really smooth and not acidic at all. Cold brew is really easy to mess it up and they really got it down. Blue Berry muffin is on point too. Must try!‼️‼️‼️They have indoor dining available.

This is a UNM staple as it is locally owned and operated with easy walking access being right across from the university. The staff here is always friendly and the coffee is always great. Should you want to do some people watchiing and most likely have some unusual interactions, I recommend the patio seating area. This spot is located right along central and the combo of college students and street folks always makes for some interesting site seeing. On a chilly day the indoor seating is also great and there is lots of tables and nooks for folks to sit and spend some time drinking warm pick me ups.

The Satellite Coffee shop (on Central), IS WAY MORE THAN A COFFEE SPOT....this shop has come to be for me a comfort, as if visiting a life long friends home again. They greet me by name every time I walk in, no matter how many times a day I may come in with my indecisiveness, or how busy, Rain (Manager) and the crew (Mel, Aly, Doug, Caleb, and few others whose names escape me right now) have always made the drink I needed for the day, even when I didnt know thats what I needed/wanted. On my worst days, they have picked me up, on my best days they have celebrated with me, and even on my mediocre days they have reminded me that it is great to be alive! I always leave with a tasty beverage/a sweet snack, or some other extravagant gift of deliciousness, along with a smile, a laugh and sense of caring they extend to meTHANK YOU ALL, at satellite coffee on central

Satellite coffee is better than the national and international chains because Satellite Coffee is local. They are connected with another local New Mexico institution called Flying Star and between the two, there s a good choice of locations for great, early morning coffee, hot chocolate, signature drinks and desserts. Service is a lot better than the international places because it is always friendly and high quality at Satellite Coffee and Flying Star. I would have given it 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ s if they were open by 7:00 and if there were a location in Albuquerque Uptown ( Hint hint)

Rise and shine sandwiches taste good! Only 1.4 for refills if you bring your own mugs.I ordered iced tea and they got it hot. I was totally fine and decided just go with that. The gentleman insisted to change and make it right (dumped my cup of hot one...oh I want to keep it...don’t waste:p).Every time the ladies greet warmly and provide sweet ordering service. Like the place and the people:D

Hey, did you know that if you down one of Satellites Black Velvets before you have anything to eat for the day, you can feel energy condense to a slow enough frequency of vibration that you, a mere mortal, can perceive the bonds that link us all as a singular entity experiencing itself through countless lives simultaneously?*Five stars for giving me the brief ability to see through time and an unrelated panic attack.* - This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

I love this coffee shop! One of the few places I can get a decent dry cappuccino. The ambiance is great, a lot if students come to study or meet up. You can buy coffee beans in bulk and they have a wonderful selection of coffee beans and food.I just wish they offered croissants and maybe a fruit/berry bagel.

I went to Satellite Coffee twice during my stay in Albuquerque. Very cozy place to grab a coffee and chill out! The staff is very friendly as well. I took off one star because my first visit I got a blended drink and it was extremely sweet so it wasnt my favorite. I also ordered a blueberry muffin and it was quite dry. The second visit I got a latte and it was perfect. Overall nice atmosphere and place to grab coffee or chill on a laptop and work. Would recommend for sure, and if I go again next time I will try more items on the menu and hopefully give all 5 stars!

Bonus: they’ve been offering ceramic mugs as the standard cup instead of automatically pouring everything into a non-recyclable/ compostable single use cup! Hooray for sustainability!!! I love coming here to meet people or to get some work done. There are tons of seating and outlet options and the baristas I have met are all pretty nice.

A pleasant surprise. I was dreading another StarSucks type experience, but its not like that. Mostly student customers, but theres some diversity beyond them. The staff are friendly, coffee is usually delicious, and the Mexican wedding cookies, scones and muffins are very good. If you go for the sandwiches, expect to pay a lot.

Satellites blondies are the best coffeehouse dessert ever. The iced Java tastes just like mocha ice cream and the black velvets are basically THE way to get your caffeine. But if youre looking for plain coffee drinks like black coffee, Starbucks is better.

The coffee is quite good, and the interior is among the most comfortable around. In particular the people-watching is fantastic from the miniature red leather couches near the counter. Ive also determined that those tiny red leather couches are _perfect_. So perfect that last time I was here I measured them so that I can try to build my own couch at home with the exact same dimensions.The food is a little pricey, but the graburritos are really excellent.

Review β„–85

I come to this location almost every day and order my same Black Velvet with a caramel liner, while my wife always tries new items on the menu. No matter the drink, i have always found them all to be more delicious than the last as I always try my wifes orders. For the nearly two years that i have been stationed here in ABQ Ive found that the food and drinks have always been consistently delectable, the prices to be exceptionally fair, and the staff to be incredibly kind, professional, and prompt in getting orders out to those in need of the caffeine. Contrary to the negative comment below, I have never witnessed any kind of unfair or unprofessional behavior from any member of the Satellite team in the numerous times I have been in the shop throughout these almost two years no matter the time or day. As a consistent customer, I can not express how much I love this place as I have never been to a coffee shop as amazing as Satellite coffee. Ive come nearly every single day with my wife for as long as i have been in New Mexico, and will continue to do so until Im sent to another duty location.

OUTSTANDING! I heard the girl working the counter called a rookie ... No, shes a pro-bowl selection. I came in very early (6:20ish) needing caffeine and not very coherent as a 1st time customer who did not know the company and she converted me into a regular! Sorry Starbucks.
