Might be the best mocha in ABQ! This café uses their own Colombian beans with a rich, nutty flavor profile that perfectly compliments the chocolate flavorings of their mocha. The café is spacious, with indoor and outdoor seating (though not a ton of the layers.) There’s great art on the walls, along with the usual assortment of coffee beans and paraphernalia for sale. The barista was very friendly and made one heck of a drink. Highly recommend this coffee joint deep in the heart of downtown ABQ of 3rd and Gold.

Heres a hip little coffee shop with high quality java, a good ambiance, and soulful music. Good street parking (metered), and close to some $2/day lots, this is a great spot anytime youre downtown.

Absolutely the best coffee, ANYWHERE! You cannot find another place like it; they grow the coffee, harvest it, roast it, and brew it! They have converted me to a coffee drinker because now I know what good coffee tastes like!!

Stopped in on a Saturday morning, after attempting the other coffee shops that morning that all ended up being closed. Automatic bonus points there. Staff was excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. I had the Aztec latte and a marshmallow brownie, both were excellent. My friends had the Cafe con Coco and Crazy Monkey, which they both throughly enjoyed. My new spot whenever I come through ABQ.

Such a great place downtown to grab coffee and a quick bite. The service was great and the drinks and food were delicious and health conscious. It has a lot of comfy seating, and an awesome outdoor seating area. You can tell a lot of love has gone into this place, highly recommend.

One of the best lattes Ive ever had! The croissants just melt in your mouth. Everyone that works there was extremely nice and attentive. Cant wait to go back and try more coffees!

Always loved this place. Just celebrated getting a job by getting my favorite; a cappuccino. Inexpensive too! 4 even for 16oz of delicious, freshly made coffee that has a certain addicting and comforting flavor. People are wonderful and when the cafe was open you could bring your (trained) dogs! The owners when they were in would bring their two!

The very first local coffee shop I had ever tried. The warm, cozy, welcoming feeling back then is the feeling Im greeted with every time I walk in. Delicious coffee, combined with superb customer service will be the reason why Im a customer for life. Thank you and cannot wait for the other location to open😊

Amazing coffee and great shipping service. We live in Texas, and ordered these online, and had these in our doorstep within a week. We ordered the dark and medium roast, and immediately tried that dark one first, and was it delicious! Highly recommend by my wife and I!!!

I dont live in NM, but I get my coffee bags shipped from them. This week I got their new Papua New Guinea blend and it was amazing! It was deeply chocolaty, vibrantly high-toned and like always very very fresh. This coffee was exceptional. I highly recommend it!

Have had very good coffee here - their dry cappuccino was excellent on the first go and the other variants are fun. The pour over is competent- really like how they use eco-smart materials- low snacks and limited beans (organic single beans for a pour over please) lose a star

Review №31

Love this place! I was trained by old masters to pull espresso in Seattle nearly 30 years ago and have worked with the bean off and on since then. These Folk grow, harvest, import, and roast some of the best coffee Ive ever had. And when they opened up this little coffee shop they really got creative with their architecture & interior design. Very fun. A must see coffee stop in Albuquerque!

The coffee here is fantastic, but the ambiance leaves something to be desired. I had a pour-over, and it had a deep, rich flavor. I would definitely recommend this ☕ shop to any coffee lover, but I would hope the owners make it more comfortable.

The staff is warm, friendly and interested in their customers. The Brew is the only place I have found in Albuquerque that makes a true cappuccino, and serves it in a large round cup the way it should be. Drinking it is an experience unto itself.The Brew stays open till 5pm, when other coffee houses downtown close at 3 pm. It also offers pastries. Its my new favorite place.

I found this Gem tucked away in a strip Mall with other food places. After boycotting Starbucks, I decided to find a local coffee place to patronize. This mom n pop Coffee place has donuts, biscuits n gravy and specialty coffees as well as just a good old cup of Joe. I recommend this place to anyone looking to support a great little place and support our local economy at the same time.

I love this place! Way better than Starbucks their green tea latte and chia latte were so good. It was never too packed and they always made my order pretty fast. They also have premade burritos that were pretty good as well if you are not too picky. So glad I found this place wish I could go everyday.

I love this place! My husband and I ordered the Aztec Latte and Coco Latte. They were both very fragrant, smooth and tasty. I don’t like drinks that are too sweet so I was excited when the barista got it just right. They also had alternative milk options- almond and soy milk. The Aztec Latte was the better of the two. There was also a few options for pastries including Comlombian pastries and Rebel Donuts.The ambiance was very relaxing. There’s plenty of natural light, the music isn’t too loud and the chairs are very comfortable. It’s a good place to study or just hang out and relax.Additionally, everything looked clean including the bathrooms.

There are no other coffee shops in Albuquerque with as great of a flavor as the brew! The coffee beans just taste like the perfect roast and the matcha is just plain perfection. Im not even a coffee enthusiast and I love the brews house drinks not to mention the entire staff is always so pleasant.

Best iced matcha latte downtown. Add a couple of shots of white choc syrup and it tastes like a green tea mochi dessert. Friendly staff. Great products. Decently priced. Again, did I mention that iced matcha latte? Yes, they sell great coffee too and all that goes with that. Give me caffeine or give me sleep. Give me The Brew!!!

I dont drink coffee but they agreed to make me a chai with red chile, similar to one of their lattes. They also have small rolls made from yucca flour (not our kind of yucca here in NM, more of a large tuber root). The rolls were delicious and - dare I say it? -gluten free. The decor is fun with chairs partially furnished with coffe burlap sacks. And staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
