On a trip to ABQ, I came here for a late evening drink while waiting for a friend. Lost Cultures is a fairly quick walk from Old Town and has a parking lot available if you drive over. There's quite a bit of indoor seating and I saw friends meeting up for a chat as well as people studying or reading by themselves; so it's a very multifunction bar/cafe. Service was very quick and when I had questions about the difference between the two matcha teas I was debating between, the barista actually brought out both matcha tins for me to look at the color and scent. Their menu has been updated to have 3 types of matcha available and sadly I didn't photograph it as the photos here are the previous matcha offerings. Both matcha powders are a fresh vibrant green and one smells more nutty/bitter (the one I opted for) vs the other that smells more sweet. Hot Matcha Tea 4/5, this was great and I got some agave syrup on the side if I wanted sweetener. Price wise this is $$ given the size of the tea Sea Salt Chocolate Cookie 4/5, this was a lovely dark chocolate bitter cookie that paired well with the sea salt and the tea read more

This place is super unique. I've never been to a place like it before. It's very hippie like a great place to sit down and do homework since it's not too busy inside. The staff are friendly and give great recommendations to try. The drinks are on the pricier side but you will definitely get a unique drink and taste. The chia tea was not really my cup of tea but it was a fun and different flavor to try. The refreshing drinks are so good any one of them you will enjoy and definitely find delicious! You have to go more than once that's for sure! read more

Great option for 'going out' with friends, when someone follows a non-alcoholic lifestyle. I attended with a group of 8 adults and one baby. Seating was comfortable and the store was empty when we first arrived- so no problem as far as I see with bringing groups in last minute. The N/A options truly are special and impressive. Restaurant is also kid friendly- with toys and coloring options available. It looked like 2 other tables were students studying upon our departure- so maybe WiFi is available. read more

Take a moment and find your way to this gem in ABQ! read more

Another gem in the Duke City! Located near the Sawmill, this tea bar has a different vibe. It's cozier and the teas are special. There are tables where folks can work on their computers, hold small meetings as well as the bar. The young man behind the bar, who served us, knew a lot about the tea blends and how to serve them. There were a few bakery items but the main focus is on the tea. Of course it is! He also mentioned that sometimes there's live music in the corner. Very intimate! Try them. read more

What a wonderful treat trying wonderful crafted mocktails at Lost Cultures Tea Bar! I really enjoyed my experience there and felt like finally my lifestyle (of being sober!!) is being heard in ABQ! I love the idea that Lost Cultures Tea Bar tries to bring about all the healthy..but fun and sassy things we should all embrace in our lives! I had a chance to try 2 housemade signature mocktails: the Smokey Rose and Fall Sunshine and I loved the creativeness and the pretty (and yummy) details that went into the drinks! The Fall Sunshine has a nice fruity taste to it but I really enjoyed the smokey smell within the Smokey Rose a lot! (It's just more unique in my mind...although both tasted so wonderful!). I would definitely want to stop by to try their other housemade cocktails again for sure. P.S. They do have other events like Yoga + meditation events along with tea afterwards as well. I will check out and follow what they post on Facebook and see if I could stop by one of the events again next time! read more

This is such a fun and bright spot! They offer kombucha, tea, coffee, and light pastries. My only disappointment was that there weren't any vegan pastry options available. Beyond that, everything was wonderful--I had a pint of kombucha (delicious, even if I can't remember the name!) followed by a pour-over coffee to top off my visit. The person at the counter was lovely--upbeat, friendly, and sociable. I'll definitely be back, and I hope more people discover this gem, because it's a great place to hang out. read more

I Lost Cultures is a new tea bar which is completely non alcoholic in everything they offer. I do enjoy a regular cocktail with alcohol but I wanted to try this place out primarily because it's a tea bar and my number one favorite beverage is tea! I didn't see any chai options so I asked and they do not offer any chai options. They did recommend the Hojicha tea (hot). Is a Japanese green tea, basically a roasted matcha tea. I tried it as I am a fan of matcha. With each drink I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, the verdict is still out. It had an interesting earthy taste. I'd like to go back and try it again. The location is very nice and the service was prompt and friendly. read more

If for any reason you don't consume alcohol, whether for religious, health related or other reasons, there aren't many places you can go to "lounge" and enjoy beverages in a comfortable environment. Enter Lost Cultures. It's a cocktail, tea and kombucha bar where everything on the menu is nonalcoholic. The cocktails are a combination of familiar favorites with some nice local twists. Teas were high quality with a fabulous presentation, kept warm on a stone coaster. The kombuchas were light and refreshing. The vibes are extremely chill and the space inside is great. We had friendly servers who were very attentive and helpful in finding the right teas and drinks. It made my heart happy seeing lots of folks hanging out at this unique spot and having a great time. Places like this are so important in creating safe, inclusive spaces for everyone. I look forward to cooking back here and trying more of their menu! read more

I really like the idea of this tea bar and the unique cocktails they make here. They really know their tea and are learning more as they are open in creating a sober alternative for the community to be in. The tea is great, you are welcome to stay and feel comfortable. There are even showers in the bathrooms for when they offer yoga classes and I noted a kid corner which is always a big plus in my book. Kids are people too and deserve to be included in society. I appreciate this place and plan on making more visits. Soon they'll have food too! read more

We went to try a bunch of teas and it was such a great experience. I don't know anything about tea and I'm still trying to figure out which teas I prefer. This was a great experience because the tea pots are only $4 each so you can order a bunch and share! I actually preferred the teas to the mock-tails. I wasn't too crazy about any of the mock-tails I ordered. They looked pretty though! The tea, however, great! This place is pretty popular right now with large and small groups checking it out. So be forewarned that seating may be limited. Theres a private parking lot and sawmill is in the area! Enjoy! read more

Lovely mocktail and tea bar. My wife and I stopped in on a recent trip to Albuquerque and were blown away by the mocktails and the service. You cannot go wrong here. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and stop in!!! read more

The owner started this business because while he still works as a bartender on the side, he wanted Albuquerque to have a place where you could chill by yourself or meet up with friends without the peer pressure and other issues associated with public alcohol consumption. I think women feel safer going here and have a much better experience because the average alpha male will be prowling the bars on Central instead. Plus, businesses serving alcohol attract a different demographic than alcohol-free businesses. Delicious, affordable nonalcoholic mocktails, NA beer, NA wine, and more. Plenty of types of tea. Locally owned businesses like this make me proud to live here. read more

It's a great idea. A bar making exclusively NA drinks! We tried the peach wine, hibiscus cocktail, and a mushroom margarita. The service was great and the bartender helped guide us through our first visit. Nice little quiet neighborhood location with ample parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. Sitting outside is still a little hot but will be great once the temperatures drop after summer. read more

I'm loving this environment and concept. I've been an avid tea lover for most of my life as well as a very light alcohol drinker. The owner is super friendly and is attentive while giving you space. It's a place to relax by yourself, do some work, or meet up with friends. I've been here twice since they opened a week ago and I'm sure I'll be back soon! read more

Lost culture was a really cute place offering non-alcoholic beverages. I do imbibe on drinks with alcohol but this was a nice alternative. I ordered the Fall Sunshine based on the bartenders recommendation, it came out with cute presentation and I love the dried pineapple on the rim. However, it was a little too much pineapple for my taste. I couldn't really taste any tea in this drink and the other flavors just didn't come through. It could have just been a one-off cuz I did try a sip of my friends drink which was the Jade refresher. Now this is one I do recommend it had all the flavors and some fizziness to it. It felt like I was drinking a true mocktail. I probably could drink this one all day and night. I would definitely come here again just to try the other drinks and see how they all compare. I like that they offered a lot of mixtures and it wasn't just simple sugar mixes. read more
