    Lavender latte

    Delicious coffee and friendly service! Lovely interior as well as relaxing patio. The perfect place to meet up with friends or coworkers or go for some peace.

    Loved this coffee shop. I had the Golden latte with Chai and it was absolutely delicious. Will now be my go to. Inside is very artistic and beautiful. Very nice building and staff. Street parking available.

    Service was fast and efficient. The iced oat milk latte was perfect. The espresso isn't bitter at all. The large patio outside is amazing when the weather is nice. The inside is minimalist as they advertise; it can feel a little cold. Everything was clean I just wish people would pick up after themselves and not leave their trash all over :(

    Hot chai tea latte

    Great service with a smile and the latte was delicious. Perfect spot to park yourself and work on your laptop or to grab a glass of wine and relax in the nice shaded patio. I can't wait to come back and try their speakeasy. I love this cute coffee shop!

    This is one of my favorite coffee spots in ABQ. I've tried quite a few of their drinks and love the little bear latte the best. Quick and friendly service and very chill vibes.

    Can see this as a place that you go to regularly if you live near here and can walk over. But it's not a place that would make me not go somewhere else to come here (wouldn't choose this place over others). The longer I sat here, the more I felt agitated. Then I walked to Ihatov afterward, and after I had sat there and enjoyed their food, I felt much calmer and at ease. Food: - Black coffee - didn't want a refill. Felt nauseated afterward. - Espresso - this is not good. No wonder they give you sparkling water with it- you're gonna need this. It's a tradeoff - you get the caffeinated feeling but at the cost of a disturbed taste. The single whatever is probably much better than the blend - $6.50 for a small breakfast burrito is pretty reasonable - The temperature was cold because of the cold air being blasted Ambiance: - It's a large space, and there are private areas, meaning you can talk at a normal volume without being overheard - Different types of seating areas: bench, stools at the countertop so you can do work, outside seating - Artwork on the walls is unique - Feels like an industrial building Service: - prompt - not as friendly and warm as at Castle Coffee

    It's probably one of the better cafes in Albuquerque considering it has the hipster cafe vibe, good amount of seats, serve the usual cafe and tea option with some pastries. Ambience is cold - lots of gray cement and gray bricks. The location near Route 66 and the university only have street parking and it is very hard to find parking. The other location have some parking but it's quite busy as well. This location also sells merchandise.

    Little bear coffee was a great spot I was a little confused by the descriptions of the coffee lol I'm basic and drink lattes but always want to explore new flavors !! This one is pretty good ! The place was chill and will be returning

    The entrance.

    Cute little converted car repair place that now is a coffee shop with limited wine and beer. There is Wi-Fi, so lots of UNM students gravitate here to enjoy a drink and do their class work. They do have some sweet pastries, but get sold out with hungry students that want a nibble. I like their real chocolaty hot chocolate, but wish they had whipped cream. There are several areas and little nooks to find quiet space. Just a fun place to hang out.

    Great place, great coffee, great service! We were on vacation so were sad that weren't able to try different coffee because it was already late. But wherever we order it was delicious! The place looked fantastic!

    Very snobby service and stale coffee. If you are going to have that much attitude please make a decent coffee. Too bad, cool place.

    Good coffee! Stopped here to start the day. I could tell they use good quality beans for roasting. And it's a got a really cool vibe.

    Way too many people hogging the tables "weworking." No place to sit for people buying coffee. Coffee is good however.

    Cute aesthetic, but way to pricey. $18 for two small coffees and a donut is way to much.

    Good coffee, plenty of space to work, and right next to UNM and an ART stop. What's there not to like?

    By far my favorite coffee shop. Their "LB" Latte is amazing. Plus they house local donuts that are amazing.

    I was in Albuquerque for a business trip and ended up coming here three days in a row! I tried…read moresomething different every day -- the Cutbow Amorcita with an almond croissant, the Cutbow Trementina, and an oat milk latte with canela syrup. Everything was so good. I'm definitely a bit of a coffee snob, so the fact that I kept coming back says a lot. The staff was always friendly and pleasant, and I even bought a bag of beans to take home. Can't wait to try them!

    First time visiting Cutbow Coffee Roasters, but I've been drinking coffee long enough to know the…read moredifference 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.
