If Starry Moon isn't already on your radar, it should be. This spot is easy to overlook--but…read moreabsolutely worth a second look. From the moment you walk in, the vibe pulls you in: quirky, playful, and full of personality. The decor alone feels like a conversation starter. Where else are you going to see two kiwis watching a sloth and a teddy bear play for real cash? Exactly. The drinks hold their own, too. The dirty chai with boba hit that perfect afternoon reset--smooth, energizing, and just indulgent enough. The Thai tea is another standout, whether you go classic or add boba for a little extra texture. Bottom line: fun atmosphere, memorable details, and drinks that deliver. Starry Moon isn't just a stop--it's an experience.

Not too sweet. The Thai tea didn't look like it had any milk in it. It was very strong. The black milk tea was ok but nothing to write home about. And I was disappointed they had no chai tea or spiced tea. The service was fine and answered our questions. It's a cute shop. Asian themed. I'm not sure we will be back.

This was my first time at Flying Star on Juan Tabo. My friend and I were waiting what seemed to be…read morea very long time for our order, in fact, other tables that arrived after us had already eaten and some leaving! My friend went to check out where our food was, and sure enough, our ticket got lost somewhere, hence, the reason why we never got our food. Well, the Assistant Manager, Matt, jumped in and rescued us and did the right thing, as a great manager should, and took care of us, including our choice of any item from the desert case. When our food did arrive we were both happy with our breakfasts and the fantastic coffee. We had the Ranch Breakfast, 2 eggs with your choice of turkey sausage. bacon or ham. Also, a Rise and Shine sandwich which is scrambled eggs, cheese and choice of same meats as listed above, on a homemade biscuit. Would I go back? Absolutely. There are several other items that appeal to me.

But…read moreeach time I go, my frustration grows with the idiotic ordering system, waiting in line while the cashier makes drinks, types in orders, assembles the tray, while others pass behind doing not much of anything. I have worked in many restaurants, and this ordering system may work for a coffee shop or fast food, but not for a restaurant. Too many people doing nothing behind the counter and too few actually serving your customers. I hope the new owners take note and update this system.

Every employee I encountered was kind and made me feel welcome.

They always add a little Coffee Bean candy on top of the lid which is a nice extra touch. It's only a drive thru but they do have some covered outdoor seating. The drive thru is nice bc someone always comes out to greet you and take your order even though they have an order speaker box. This time I had a really nice college student from an American Afghani family. Her name escapes me but begins w an "H." She deserves a High 5 for her Customer Service. Another new chain coffee shop just opened across the street from this place but I'm staying loyal to the Human Bean. Their staff, drinks, food is awesome so no need to switch for me.

I absolutely LOVE Little Bear. I've been going here for years, the coffee is great, and the…read morebaristas are fantastic. It's my local coffee shop where they know my name and my order as soon as I walk in. I also love the atmosphere here even though it is often crowded. It's a great place to get some work done, or to meet a friend to chat. Literally the only issue I have with them is their new ordering/card reader system. It's often down, which results in long lines, long waits, and stressed out baristas. Also, their it's tied to their loyalty program, so when I go there and their system is down, I don't get points. Would love it if they went back to the old system! Other than that, Little Bear Uptown is my favorite place to get coffee in Albuquerque.

I was greeted at the door by a customer's very friendly golden lab, best greeting of the day btw. The coffee was as requested without issue. There is only one size (12oz) so I grabbed two since I'm a traveling man today. I like my coffee so needed that spare. Cinnamon rolls can be found but overall this is a coffee shop. Not like grandma's hash slinging eggs over easy, coffee, reading, chatting, and just enjoying the day in general. If I had more time, I would have written some on my dissertation this morning.
