    This place is SO cute. I can't stand it.
    Samantha G.

    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.

    Lavender tea, chocolate chip cookies with board games at Early Yves Cafe

    Funny place to hang out .. books and board games and having latte and treats, what more can you ask?

    Oatmeal includes cinnamon walnuts, sliced apples, and berries.
    Susan S.

    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!

    Oatmeal and chai tea latte
    Lisa D.

    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.

    Latte.

    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.

    Mexican oat milk mocha.

    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.

    Homemade crumb cake (cherry hibiscus limeade crumb cake with vanilla buttercream)
    Joop V.

    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.

    House special with Honey, rose petals and Aleppo peppers
    Brian H.

    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.

    Interior. Some kitchen stuff.
    Heidi A.

    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!

    Hot cocoa
    Nicole A.

    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.

    Matcha Latte
    Devin H.

    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.

    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.")

    Black coffee and local pastries
    Emma S.

    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!

I stopped by for lunch and found the menu offered a nice variety of choices. I ordered the Los Ranchos Turkey sandwich with homemade chips and a Lavender Iced Tea. Both were flavorful, and the homemade chips were an unexpected treat. The iced tea was ready right away and was a refreshing complement to the meal. My sandwich arrived about 24 minutes after ordering, which may have been due to the lunch rush. Including tip, lunch came to about $30. While the price point felt a little high for the overall experience, the quality and flavor of the food helped balance that out. Overall, I enjoyed the food and appreciate having another locally owned option in the neighborhood.

    Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

In a rare turn of events, both kids got the same thing, the Korean chicken bites with the sauce on the side, which was a great decision bc it did have a kick to it. The chicken itself was a bit dry. Both adults also got the pork belly flatbread. I found it a bit unbalanced with too much sauce and not enough other toppings, and the base wasn't as crispy as I prefer. Speaking of crispy, we opted for the appetizer brussel sprouts, and they were a bit chewy and on the not so super crispy side. Service was fine, and glad to have a little break from heavier New Mexican cuisine on this night. Lots of variety on the cocktail and adult beverage menu too.
