This place was so freaking cute. I cannot wait to come back. I love this area of 2nd St! All of the businesses that use to be houses. The decor and feel in the shop is great! Every room looks different and has mixed matched everything from chairs to tables and the cutlery! The plates were upscyled and vintage too! I love the thought that went into this place. The girl working was so cute and nice! She was by herself and killing it! Making sandwiches and dishing out mad coffee! There's even a cute little wall with free give back drinks to eachother. I love the thought of giving a coffee to someone else in need. Two thumbs up! Love it.
Funny place to hang out .. books and board games and having latte and treats, what more can you ask?
Stumbled upon this place and loved it! A great breakfast surprise. It has a cool vibe and an eclectic feel. Jazz music was playing in the background, various types of seating, including a sofa. Board games lying around, an area with books, etc. The manager provided efficient and friendly service and he was a pleasure to chat with. The coffee was great and the food was excellent! I ordered oatmeal, which came with sliced apples, cinnamon walnuts, and various berries, served with a quirky gold spoon. I also had cinnamon sourdough toast, and my husband had smoked salmon on toast. Everything was fantastic! A little pricey, but we all deserve to start the day with a treat!
We are from Austin TX. This had all the Austin vibes. Looks like a renovated old home. The oatmeal was instant oats served with warm whole milk and fresh raspberries, blackberries, candied walnuts and green apple slices. SO yummy! And the chai tea was one of the best I have had. You order up front and they call out your order when ready...so hope you're not prone to forgetfulness like I can be. Haha.
I heard on a national news report that a local coffee place was opening a 2nd location in Brooklyn, NY. Well, that definitely peeked my interest. The name of the local place was new to me, but the story seemed to indicate that the local coffee shop had been here for a couple of years. And it wasn't too far from my "hood". What? I thought I knew every coffee spot in 10 miles. So, a little quick "Yelp" research indicated that I am not as up on every coffee spot in town as I thought. Ugh. After a little research, a friend and I headed to Montage. It's in a quiet section of 4th Street NW. A section of town that is slowly growing into an art and antique section of town. Los Ranchitos. They have done some serious street landscaping in the last few years, so I am eventually expecting some street art and food fairs to take place here. Serious parking will be needed, but for now individual lots seem to be adequate. So . . . Montage Coffee & Wine. OMG! I love it! I had latte and Raspberry Mascarpone toast on my first visit. Do you know what heaven tastes like? Well, that is exactly what it was like. So very good. I want to try their other "toasts", but not sure I am ready to venture. I understand this is a woman owned shop. You definitely can tell. Excellent. Customer Service was friendly and professional . . . and very busy. Other folks have discovered this little spot long before I did. Again, it was busy. And a little too chilly to sit outside on their nice patio. They are closed Mon & Tues, or I would be there now. And what about Brooklyn? I guess it is coming soon. Not much info out there, but I do know the LLC was registered in November, 2023, so they are just getting started???? Five stars and they deserve it. Would give them 10, if I could.
A cute little non-corporate coffee shop. They have a variety of seating options and it wasn't an issue finding a table for our seven-person book club on a Saturday at 11am. The barista was super accommodating when I asked if they could make an off-menu Mexican mocha and it was a good drink. I had the smoked salmon tartine for $12 with added pickled shallots for $1. It was fresh and delicious! I'd definitely recommend it. The barista was very, very slow with the drinks. It wasn't an issue for us because we were there to discuss a book and stayed almost two hours, but you wouldn't be able to drop in for a quick drink here to go. This is definitely a place made for camping out or meeting up with a friend; it's not fast.
I'm usually not a big or frequent coffee drinker...but once in a while, I have it as a treat along with some other small snacks/bakeries as treats. I was around the area for work and had a bit of time to spend, so I looked up a place to relax for just 30-45 minutes. I ended up choosing Montage because I had bookmarked it for quite a while but never had a chance to stop by since it was a bit far from my place. Well, I was in the area, so I thought it was a good time to finally check it out. Overall, I really like that the cafe is a good place to relax and have a conversation. It isn't one of those places where you feel like you have to leave after you finished a drink at all. Most people stop by to just sit and enjoy life, do their own thing..and the place was cute, quiet, peaceful (with music in the background) that was super conducive to doing what you needed done. I had an iced latte ($5.75+$1 syrup) and a homemade crumb cake ($5.25). I thought it was a little pricey..but was good...although my latte didn't taste much of the lavender syrup as I had hoped and the crumb cake was on a slightly dry/hard side. Nevertheless, both the coffee and crumb cake still tasted good. I would love to stop by this place again when I'm in the area or taking a guest around town to just chill. There's plenty of parking spots (they have their own lot), so it's kindda nice to not have to worry about the hassle and the availability of street parking at all.
Very cozy and comfortable coffee shop. An eclectic indoor environment with lots of books for sale as well as vintage clothing. Great parking as well and plenty of indoor and outdoor covered (adjustable umbrellas) patio space. The barista was extremely friendly and explained everything on the menu. Extremely professional service as well. I had the house special which was a latte with honey, rose petals and Aleppo peppers. I am not normally a fan of sweet coffee, but this was amazing and the spice was very subtle at the finish. I also had the French breakfast which was very simple and delicious.
The chai was nice. The couch was comfy! We came here to work on our laptops. It was a little bit too loud to our liking. Also, the parking was a pain. We turned right into the lot, expecting the parking lot loops around the coffee shop, but it didn't so we had to back out and go toward the left. The interior was cozy and cute! I'd love to try their toast next time!
I love the simplicity of this place: it's where you get coffee and toast. The location is very cute... it's in a small house type setting in the middle of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. There is plenty of parking and it is easy to find on google maps. The interior is set up in a doll house type of way. It's very cute and they have lots of antiques to give it a retro look. I ordered the hot cocoa and the cinnamon toast on sourdough bread. It was delicious and perfect for a coffee date with a friend.
For the record, I was That Guy who, during my first visit, asked the counter intelligence, "So how do you pronounce the name of this coffee shop?" Yes, I'll own this. I didn't actually think they'd named it after my second-favorite song from Team America. (C'mon, "I'm so Ronery" was the absolute BEST.) Anyway, let's hope the passage of time only sharpens, strengthens and builds this little cafe that could into the best damn java hut on the planet. It already has several great attributes: delightful coffee with all the non-dairy, vegan fixins; tempting munchies; lots of books and vintage goods, including a fine lookin' pinball game; a daddy-o of an outdoor patio; and wine! This is seriously a spot we've needed for ages in this area of the north valley. Back in the day I'd travel to Joliesse Chocolates just to get my caffiene buzz. Montage for the win! Okay, this review is fading out, now. Fading, fading. ("Always fade out in a montage. If you fade out, it seems like more time has passed in a montage, montage.")
Cute spot that combines a coffee shop, vintage store (both clothing and home goods), and a bookstore. They even have a vintage pinball machine! The staff is friendly and it is a nice place to get work done. Menu isn't super wide, which I think is a benefit. What they do, they do well. They source different coffee roasters, the one I had today was from Mizar in Brooklyn. The pastries they get from a local baker called ABQ Crumb. She specializes in French style pastries with unique flavors. The cake was a mango orange pineapple carrot cake with an olive oil buttercream. The cake was dense and dry, but the buttercream was light and airy! The danish of the week was passion fruit with a chocolate streusel. It was incredible! Very flakey and the flavors worked so well together. They also do various events on the weekends like plant swaps, clothing sales, and small craft fairs. This is a great spot in the Los Ranchos area!
Cute little local coffee shop in Los Ranchos. Love the inside of the place and they also love their cute vintage/book store! I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and their avocado toast. The latte was perfectly fine and can't really complain much expect it lacked syrup, which was my bad. The avocado toast was as also perfectly fine. Nothing special about besides the extreme amount of red pepper they put on it. It doesn't really come with much and is quite small for being $9. They lost a star because they forgot the syrup in my partner's latte and because their workers were extremely loud and it kind of destroyed the cute coffee shop vibe.

I used to spend a lot of time at this café before they changed concepts. What used to be montage coffee is now obviously Early Yves. They haven't changed a lot, the interior was still decorated, mostly the same, but they do seem to have removed their little vintage store and the books for sale. However, the most recent time I visited and did feel like maybe they were about to change something. Possibly in the middle of redecorating or something like that. They have really great offerings and the space is simple and cute. I got the French breakfast toast and a vanilla matcha. My only thing to say that wasn't ideal, it used to be the barista's and especially the owners were very friendly. On my most recent visit, though it wasn't the same energy. It was kind of funny because I was in the area to get a haircut and my hairdresser made a comment about the same change in service. read more

Nothing like a lazy morning and new breakfast spot for us. Old, repurposed home complete with patio area. Plenty of non-traditional places to sit. Eclectic Austin,TX vibe - we're good with that. Order at the counter Berries Mascarpone with mint iced tea & Oatmeal with Chai Tea. Not sure what I expected. But both meals were awesome. Mascarpone cheese atop toast topped with chile raspberry jelly (just enough to let you know it's there)and fresh berries. The Oatmeal came topped with candied walnuts and berries with milk & fresh fruit on the side. Nobody was in a hurry to turn over a seat, so we just relaxed until we were ready to leave. Small & eclectic? This is it read more

We come here quite a bit and always love it! This place is such a great local coffee shop! They always have fun specialty drinks and some great toasts! They also have some of the most amazing pastries from a local bakery called Crumb. Never been disappointed by anything we've gotten here. This place is also such a great place to just hang out. The vibe is very eclectic vintage, and is a nice chill place. The owners and workers are always very nice and friendly, make recommendations when you ask, and put care into what they make. read more

Such a cute coffee shop! There is a vintage shop with used books and other items for sale. But you might not go to a place just because it's Instagram worthy so as far as the food and coffee goes it was also very good! I got a decaf pour over with cinnamon and cream and my friend got a cortado. Good coffee and I got a half order of the raspberry mascarpone toast-a perfect amount to satisfy a craving! They also had a dog water bowl for furry guests! read more

What a delightful little place! The interior is colorful, seating is ample, and the baristas are so so friendly! I ordered the lavender latte and it was the perfect amount of sweet without being overpowering. Their syrups are house made which is always nice to see. I had my little one with me and she was entertained with the colorful surroundings. It's about time a nice coffee shop opened in this area! read more

I'm absolutely in love with this place. The owners the SWEETEST, and they have curated such an inclusive, inviting shop. I love the monthly drink specials that often feature flavor combos (with housemade syrups) that I would have never thought of but end up being delicious. It has become my go-to place for so many different situations... getting some work done on my laptop, bringing out-of-town friends, hanging with local friends, or just reading a book solo. read more

I came here just to check it out. I was caught off guard by such small steps leading up the the joint. They were actually a bit hazardous. Anyways, when I reached the top I walked in and saw a cart of dirty dishes immediately to the right. There was then a bright yellow wall which was a nice color choice. However, I used the restrooms and that's where it all went downhill for me. The toilet was dirty and backed up all the way against the wall. Cramped and trapped, I then kept walking and immediately noticed that the inside was essentially an old school house turned coffee shop. Narrow hallways and short archways. I enjoyed the charm and the mini vintage store plus books but the overall store layout was poor. I felt like I was getting too close to a customer looking at books with his better half and half. And when I went over to the barista station + bar, she didn't greet me at all. I had to awkwardly ask to get a photo while she was entertaining other guests. Maybe she forgot she was at work. Which is fine but not when there's someone new approaching. When I asked her what type of latte was in the last yelp review she said "Umm, maybe a Chai latte?" She was wrong. But it's OK. It was a specialty latte. I'm not sure I'll be back unless the owners give it a fresh shot of TLC. read more
