Both my wife and I liked the scone and the cold brew was very good. My wife said her Americano was very good. As you can see from the picture the inside is pretty large and has a variety of seating. Services was a little slow on this busy Saturday at 11:30 AM. And the costs were a little high, but they are in the middle of the plaza with good places! Recommended!
I gave this coffee house five stars for 3 reasons: It is in Albuquerque’s Old Town district which is fun and colorful, even though touristy. 2. The coffee tastes good! My husband and I opted out of all the specialty coffee drinks with these uber-sweet flavoring syrups. He got an iced cold brew and I got an Americano. Both smooth tasting with rich coffee flavor. 3. We tried blueberry scones and they were not over sweet at all and well-baked. This shop is very popular and has a funky New Mexico meets Hippy Generation vibe. There are indeed various flavors of lemonade and sparkling sodas. (Prickly Pear, Lavender, Violet and more)
The decor is nice inside, very raven-y themed. There is a stench coming from the fountain outside when you sit down though. It’s a really bad algae-y smell and it just put me off. We got the roadrunner iced and an oat cappuccino. The roadrunner was really cinnamon-y and my wife said that it was great. The cappuccino was a miss though I felt. There was a thin layer of foam followed by really hot liquid layer that I almost burnt my lips. The coffee itself was decent. they had many seasonal drinks available - today it was pumpkin and fall specials mostly.
This café is a jewel box - with pretty prints on the walls and stained glass art catching the light just so. The staff are all warmth and smiles, making you feel instantly at home. The iced Jack Rabbit was a delight, caramel and lavender woven together in layers that felt both surprising and deeply satisfying. We also tried a green sparkling soda (the name eacapes me, but the taste doesn’t) - bright, refreshing, and downright plucky…if a drink can ever be plucky. The chili quiche was crumbly and yum. And here’s a thoughtful touch I loved: some tables come with outlets for chargers. It’s like the cafe knew both you and your phone needed recharging.
Husband had the blackbird and I had the cottonwood—both excellent drinks. The French taco and chocolate croissant were excellent. Atmosphere and aesthetic is cool and inviting. Friendly girls working there, happy to answer questions and genuinely helpful. Plentiful seating options, indoors and outside. Awesome local coffee shop.
Where Albuquerque's spirit meets artisanal coffee in a vibrant, welcoming space.
