But do I still wish that Rust is Gold would do a little more in that department? YESSSSS. I've been in a few times in the early afternoon where the food offerings were completely drained for the day, and all I wanted was something sweet with my bevvy. The coffee here is pretty good, and it's a large bright open space. Servers are kind as well! Just give me some sugar too please!

They have an array of coffee and the service is absolutely phenomenal! Spoke with two baristas they were so informative and super welcoming! The coffee is really good as well. My husband got their regular drip coffee and he said it was very good, I got their iced brown sugar latte with 3 shots of espresso, so good and the right amount of caffeine. Definitely will be back, when we're back in Albuquerque.

The owner here rocks. And the coffee rocks…read more Cute, eclectic, fun little shop. Friendly, hospitable, eager-to-please service. Delicious caffeine. Everything you want when stopping for a morning brew.

He takes his time to listen to how you like your coffee and takes the time until it comes out just the way you like it. My husband said it was a highlight to our trip to ABQ. It was reasonably priced and we definitely recommend coming if you're a coffee connoisseur! I definitely say if you come here, be patient and I hope you are not in a rush because its a one man show. 2 thumbs up from this Yelper! Tips: *Street parking. Metered. *Small indoor and outside seating. *Credit card accepted.

Highly recommend and will be back again I want to try the Turkish latte next!

Consistency is there! They have specialty teas, lattes, and plenty of add-on's like coffee ice-cubes and a variety of alternative milk options. They also offer food items like breakfast burritos and pastries. The ambiance is on the busier side because it's always packed and people are talking/working but I love the plants and vibes.

There are so many drinks to choose from, some bakery treats, and on weekend, Croffles (croissant dough waffles). Since it was Saturday I ordered the strawberry croffle and a cucumber sparking water, my husband tried one of the lattes. Everything was ready quick and tasted great. We found a spot to sit down and eat and enjoyed the coziness of the cafe. There are lots of blackbird decor items all over the shop. The courtyard was also so pretty. We would visit again!

I love blackbirds so I was sold as soon as I saw the raven (crow?) beckoning me in…read more The decor did not disappoint! Blackbird art everywhere and a very 90s old school coffeehouse vibe. Plenty of seating with tables, comfortable chairs and banquet seating if that's more your thing. On a nice day, sit outside as it's absolutely lovely out there, downright magical. Baristas are so nice and they put a lot of effort into crafting your drink. Admittedly, I didn't love my Americano but that had more to do with the type of bean (think a brighter flavor, while I prefer a dark roasted nutty flavor). This wouldn't at all stop me from returning and trying something else, like one of their cute specialty lattes if I'm feeling something on the sweeter side. Their prices are extremely reasonable, too.

Soft instrumental worship music played in the background, creating the kind of environment where you could easily spend a few hours reading, working, or simply enjoying your favorite drink. The staff were friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in. The person at the counter was personable and even convinced me to add their flavored cold foam to my cold brew. Unfortunately, the drink itself didn't quite live up to the experience. The cold brew tasted weaker than I prefer and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. The flavored cold foam was also fairly bland and melted into the drink almost immediately, rather than sitting on top and adding a creamy finish like most cold foams do. That said, the atmosphere and service left a great impression, so I'm definitely willing to give this place another shot. Next time, I'll probably stick with an iced Americano and skip the cold foam. With such a welcoming space and friendly staff, I'm optimistic there's a drink on the menu that's a better fit for my taste.

. I woke up grumpy…read morethat sunny first Saturday in April. I remember it well. (it was 4 days ago) My wife suggested we try this coffee shop. Begrudgingly I went along; not quietly but more "respectfully pissy" i would say. Navigating our large van in the parking lot we still couldn't find the business. I started bitching about the crummy location, poor signage and how I just wanted a cup of quality coffee. That life shouldn't be this hard on a Saturday morning. Where is this coffee roasters shop? Finally: We located and walked into Candlestick... ...and POOOF !!! We meet (and want to marry) Zach! The enthusiasm, passion, knowledge, mission and love this guy has for his craft is amazing. We are so impressed. We decided Zach's wife is soo lucky! Mia M. did a review calling this an "intimate coffee experience" and I agree. When we relocate to Corrales, we will become frequent customers of this business. "Like really good like customers as they say in the valley." Thank you Zach for an exceptional coffee "pour over" experience ... we loved our individual cups of coffee. We support your fair trade mission, and wish you very well in your business. After our Candlestick Visit: My mood improved from a 3/10 scale, to a 10/10 after my visit to Candlestick Roasters ... YMMV of course, but please give it a try :)
