First time visiting Cutbow Coffee Roasters, but I've been drinking coffee long enough to know the difference between good coffee and coffee that merely exists. This place definitely falls into the first category. This morning I went with the single origin Guatemala drip, and it was exactly what a solid cup of coffee should be. Smooth, rich, and balanced with a nice chocolate note that hangs around just long enough to make you take another sip. No bitterness. No burnt taste. Just a clean, well-roasted cup that says someone here actually cares about the beans. The shop itself has a personality, which I always appreciate. It's decorated with fishing lures, fish artwork, and sculptures scattered around the place. Naturally this leads to the obvious conclusion: the owner is either an avid fisherman... or coffee roasting is just the side hustle between trout expeditions. Either way, the theme works. The space feels relaxed, creative, and comfortable. The kind of place where you can sit with a cup and not feel rushed out the door. And speaking of doors, while I was there there was a steady flow of customers coming in and out. That's usually the universal coffee signal for yep, this place is doing something right. Bottom line: Great coffee, cool atmosphere, and a shop with enough character to keep things interesting. I'll definitely be back for another cup of that Guatemala. read more

Service was so kind and helpful with recommendations and questions around coffee and pastries. I got the mocha with macadamia milk. It was delicious. Very mild chocolate, I believe it is Dutch chocolate if my memory services me not to sweet which I appreciate. It was delightfully well balanced. The coffee itself is very smooth and not bitter, excellent taste! I will be back for sure to try other options there are lots of choices. I should have taken a picture of the menu. There is ample seating both inside and outside, had I not had my toddler with me I would have loved to sit out front but it is right by the road so a no go with a rambunctious little boy... There is additional outside seating to the side and farther from the road too. I look forward to my next trip. read more

If you're looking for the best coffee spot in Albuquerque, look no further - Cutbow is your place! From the moment you walk in, you know you haven't stepped into just another coffee shop. The vibe is cool, the roasting equipment is state-of-the-art, and the atmosphere makes you want to stick around and drink coffee all day. Throw in the fact that the owner, world-renowned master roaster Paul, is a salt-of-the-earth human who takes the time to know his customers - whether he's talking you through the coffee process or just getting to know your story. Great guy! He's also built a great team who deliver the best service and make you feel at home. I always look forward to the next trip to Cutbow! read more

Great atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and created a delicious Ethiopian pour over. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have cold brew. When I asked, she politely offered me iced coffee. I'm sorry but it's just not the same. Will definitely be back though. Good vibes, coffee, and people. Conveniently located right off the freeway. Plenty of parking. Ya'll start making cold brew and earn an extra star! read more

A wonderful neighborhood coffee shop! Not only the location is wonderful, but the service was so friendly and kind. The coffee was amazing and the pastries were amazing.... The ambiance was super welcoming and nice. I wish more coffee shops were as welcoming as this. To the lovely owners: Would you please open a location in Southern California?!!!! Wishful thinking...... Huh?!!! read more

Excellent coffee!. Excellent service Great atmosphere. Not a chain. VERY NICE FOLKS. read more

We stopped here in our way back home to Seattle. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful. The atmosphere was so nice. I have to say, I'm a bit of a coffee snob. This coffee has to be the best I've ever had. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Highlights: The interior was pretty. The piñón coffee actually tasted like piñon while maintaining the coffee flavor-- not just some sugary syrup haha so I liked that. They had a variety of coffee beans available to smell the different flavor profiles, which was fun and educational. Lowlights: Line was a bit long and the pastries were just ok I think. If you're a big coffee connoisseur then you will like this place because it emphasizes artisanal coffee and "Roastology" read more

A quaint place for some good coffee. This little shop is a popular spot for high quality brews. I ordered a slightly sweetened latte with alternative milk. My spouse ordered a cup of brew as well. Overall, a cute spot. We were thrown off because we expected there to be pastry or food options to pair with our drinks. Next time, we won't be heading here without eating first. read more

Cute local owned coffee shop! What a fun spot to go and enjoy a cup of coffee and some goodies. Nicely decorated inside, screams "pride of ownership." I see why this place is so popular and busy! Lots of great coffee bean options. I had a "cortado" and enjoyed the drink. Got a cream filled donut to go with it and it was a match made in heaven! Definitely a spot to return again! read more

Nice ambience. Good selection of beans. A step below some other local roasters when it comes to the art of roasting beans however. Same holds true for the quality of espressos served on site (not top level). Four stars is generous. read more

Delicious coffee and a great atmosphere. We ordered beans and they had fresh roasted them that day! Very friendly staff who talked us through the different kinds. Well priced and awesome location. read more

Any place with coffee iced cubes is the place for me and the fact that Cutbow has them and not only that, but their iced coffee was still under $3 in 2024 earns them 1,0000000 stars in my book. Oh wait, that's not all - their coffee is AMAZING. So smooth and expertly brewed; you can tell they have their craft down. So glad I stopped in--only had an iced coffee, but loved the interior and "fishing" vibe of this Albuquerque roastery. Next time I go, I hope to try more of their offerings, but for now--if you're passing through or a local, don't miss out on trying Cutbow! read more

I stopped by Cutbow for a work meeting, and it turned out to be a pleasant experience overall. The space has a laid-back and relaxing vibe, making it ideal for meetings, working, or simply catching up with a friend. It's cozy and beautifully decorated, with plenty of plants that add to the welcoming atmosphere. The service was great--well-organized and efficient. I ordered a mocha, and it definitely hit the spot. If I find myself back in Albuquerque, I'd gladly return to Cutbow. read more

Good coffee. Too late for any snacks, but will definitely have to go back sometime, my companion loved her matcha late.

Top tier love and care into this craft. Lovely staff, they truly care about the beans here. Serious coffee lovers only read more

New favorite coffee shop in ABQ. I was born and raised here and have never been a fan of the local "favorite" coffee brand *iykyk*. Cutbow has delicious and flavorful coffee, the shop is so cute, and the staff is always so kind. My first time in was balloon fiesta week and even being busy, the coffee came quickly. The gentlemen who owns the shop is always there working and he's very kind. I have visited each trip to ABQ since. This last visit to town I even purchased the lavender syrup they sell from Poblanos, it's so tasty! I recommend Cutbow to anyone who asks about a good spot for coffee in ABQ. read more

Such a beautiful coffee shop and roaster. The cortado and lemon poppy scone hit the spot and the service here is excellent. They were so patient with me as I struggled to decide which scone to try. Most places have a scone but Cutbow had several different varieties to trip. Kudos to Cutbow!!!! read more

I'm from Oklahoma, and my family and I are on a road trip to California. We stopped at this local coffee shop, and wow -- the coffee is strong and absolutely delicious. I ordered a lavender latte with macadamia nut milk, and it was perfect. Even though the shop was busy, the baristas were fast, efficient, and friendly. I didn't wait more than five minutes for my drink. Great experience all around! read more

I absolutely love this place. The coffee is top notch, prepared to the highest standards and timely. The staff is amazing and takes the time to answer questions, especially if you have questions about single origin coffee or if you're trying a different coffee preparation than you have before. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting with space inside and outside. Plenty of parking as well. Whether you're new to coffee or a seasoned connoisseur you have to go to Cutbow sit down, relax and enjoy the best cup of coffee in New Mexico. read more

Cutbow was one of the better coffee experiences I had at Albuquerque. The interior is simple but cozy and the staff was super friendly. I ordered the Estrella which I believe was espresso with tonic. It was refreshing and lovely to drink. read more

I love this place! I've been told to come here and I finally did. Lots of people when I arrived and a decently long line inside. Super friendly workers and such a cute space! I ordered my usual whole milk Cortado and I got a blueberry filled donut, a bag of Guatemala coffee and a free cup of the same. I ventured outside to eat my donut and drink my Cortado. The donut was lovely! Light, sweet and tasty! The Cortado was perfection! I was headed for a facial which was only a 5 minute drive down Rio Grande so this was a perfect place to stop! If you haven't made it to Cutbow yet and you love coffee, please make an effort to stop by. I'll be coming back! Thanks Cutbow!! read more

Coffee was pretty good! But man I wish they had more seating, it's always so crowded in here!

Highly recommend coming here! Friendly staff, lots of parking spots and good amount of seating inside. They also had outside seating in the back. Our hotel was nearby so we decided to stop here before our flight. We grabbed some seats in the back area. If you buy a bag of coffee beans, you can get a free cup of drip coffee or iced coffee. I tried the Cafe Canela first which was good. Then I got a free iced coffee when I bought a few bags of the coffee beans. For the iced coffee, I like that they use coffee ice cubes so it's not watered down. read more

This place was beautiful, there was a lot of care put into decorating the space. As someone new to different coffees, the samples of coffee beans to smell was a great feature. Ordering was easy and the staff was so helpful in offering drink options for my preferences. I decided on the iced Matcha Latte with Los Poblanos Lavender and a Cherry Danish. I was on the fence about matcha before but now, I'M SOLD! My drink was absolutely delicious and my pastry was devoured pretty quickly. This was so good and I love the locally sourced/made goods. I will definitely be returning read more

Cutbow is definitely one of the homiest spots I've been to in NM. They have actual coffee plants growing in the shop, grinders, and roasters. Really cool to see it all in one little shop like that. Not only that, the staff was so warm and welcoming, and the lattes were great too! Definitely swing by for a coffee if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed. read more

Made a pit stop at this place on my way to Colorado and it was incredible. Coffee is always my main concern when traveling and this place had great customer service, a cool atmosphere, house made syrups (a huge green flag for me!), and has their own coffee roaster! The coffee was great and I had nothing bad to say about this place. I wish I got to go back and try their pour over coffee. Definitely recommend! read more

First time trying Cutbow and our barista was super nice and friendly. She made sure all our questions were answered. We ended up getting an iced London fog, ice ceremonial matcha with vanilla, and a dirty chai. Most of their syrups are all made in house and it shows in how they make their drinks. London fog - not too sweet and subtle flavors of earl grey Ceremonial matcha - they make their matcha per order and whisk it. The matcha flavor wasn't too strong but overall a nice delightful latte. Dirty Chai - the chai was so good and paired well with the espresso. It also had a nice kick to it. Overall would come back and visit again. Thank you! read more

Taste of the coffee obsessed with their dirty oat milk chai! Great local neighborhood hangout!

Holy heck! We were only in town for 3 mornings and wanted to try several different coffee places. Our first morning was a bust, but our second morning, we came here, and not wanting to chance it, we also came back our third day as we left, because it was that good! I was super excited to see that they had small drinks so I could get a few to try! The first day, I got a cortadito bon bon and a gommosita! Both were absolutely amazing and delicious - obviously, so much so, that I needed to come back the next day. Because we had a long drive ahead of us for the next day, I got the bon bon (because it's easier for take away) and an iced latte. I still dream about the bon bon and gamossita (not actually, but actually). Would absolutely recommend - and would also highlight that the service is very welcoming! read more

Coffee really depends on the roast you prefer. The ambience is cozy. This place is better for conversation with a friend rather than a remote working space. There is only one big table to put your laptop on. read more

Good coffee, but way way overpriced. $30 for two small drinks and two mediocre pastries is highway robbery. I expect to pay this premium for home roasted beans, not prepared drinks. And they expect tips for to-go orders. read more

Great coffee, costumer service, and place! We were traveling and needed a good cup of joe.

I had a lovely experience at Cutbow today. Their coffee is always excellent, and it's a great spot to plunk down with a book and hang out. Today I tried the café canela, espresso with piloncillo and burnt cinnamon syrup plus a pain du chocolat from Ihatov (they also have pastries from Burque Bakehouse and Planty Sweet). The coffee was beautifully presented on a polished slab of wood with a little pitcher of half and half. Not only was its appearance striking, but the coffee was delicious, not too sweet and perfect for my tastes with a splash of cream. I enjoyed my visit. It's good to slow down for a bit and relax in Cutbow 's calm atmosphere. Outstanding drinks and friendly, knowledgeable staff make this place one of the best coffee houses in Albuquerque. read more

Really cute coffee shop! Will definitely return! A fish theme (as in fishing) really done well and not in a kitschy way. Was worried I didn't take pics but there are plenty in reviews. The coffee was excellent, and I had a pastry that was out of this world. My only complaints are 1) seating kind of odd when it's busy, would be great to have more patio space and 2) it's kind of confusing getting into spot as there is a lot of development next door. I highly recommend. And for those visiting our city state, this is a super cute area to see. read more

Friendly service, warm setting with plenty of art and comfortable elegant seating. I had the coffee of the day, black, "cafecito" and it was ok, slightly bitter. The blueberry scone was a little dry and it was small for $4.00 . The blueberry corn muffin, dry. Cinnamon pecan sticky bun - just ok. If you are in the area or pass by this place , then stop in and enjoy this place. I would not recommend if it requires a drive out of your way. Again, good service, ambiance and just ok coffee / pastries. read more

4.5 stars.... Staff was friendly, patient and helpful as we were making selections. The shop was trendy if a little loud. There were plenty of tables outside with shade, which we opted for with the nice weather. I got a latte with the house-made vanilla and canela syrups, on the recommendation of the cashier. It was delicious, smooth with just a hint of sweetness, and beautiful latte art. My husband is not a coffee person and got the London fog. He said it was ok but a little bland for his taste. read more
