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.

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.

Definitely will be back, when we're back in Albuquerque.

There were ornaments and chocolate truffles for sale and a wide variety of pastries and sweets. I got the pumpkin bread ($4.25) and a medium biscochito latte. My friend got the white chocolate cherry scone and a latte. For both of us, it came out to $19. Baristas were friendly. And while the biscochito latte was good, it wasn't quite as sweet as I had hoped. 2026 #1

Every time I've come here they've always been professional, serving up top shelf baked goods. If you've never been...just go and enjoy!! Regarding my five-year-old's birthday cake...

Friendly service and faces always warm up a cold morning, and we definitely got that at Los Ranchos Bakery. The menu is simple and the baked goods look great! We ordered the breakfast sandwich with bacon and green chile cheddar bagel, a lavender latte, and a red chile mocha. A cherry tart and a cinnamon roll to go. The drinks were, unfortunately, missing a few ounces and flavor. The sandwiches were smaller than I expected. The bagel had a hint of heat and chile. It was perfectly toasted and held the egg and bacon quite well. The bacon was crispy and the egg was well done. It was filling in the end. The baked goods will have to wait until tonight but I've had their scones before and they were excellent! I'm betting on excellence on the tart and cinnamon roll. Overall, this is a nice local coffee shop that can be a great alternative to a chain coffee shop. The space is nice for some work or chatting with friends and family. Don't bet on the coffee, but definitely go for the baked goods!

Interior is great and was filled with a lot of folks catching up on their computers, which is cool. The patio is really what sets this apart from other true New Mexico coffee hot spots.

There are so many drinks to choose from, some bakery treats, and on weekend, Croffles (croissant dough waffles). Since it was Saturday I ordered the strawberry croffle and a cucumber sparking water, my husband tried one of the lattes. Everything was ready quick and tasted great. We found a spot to sit down and eat and enjoyed the coziness of the cafe. There are lots of blackbird decor items all over the shop. The courtyard was also so pretty. We would visit again!

Plenty of seating with tables, comfortable chairs and banquet seating if that's more your thing. On a nice day, sit outside as it's absolutely lovely out there, downright magical. Baristas are so nice and they put a lot of effort into crafting your drink. Admittedly, I didn't love my Americano but that had more to do with the type of bean (think a brighter flavor, while I prefer a dark roasted nutty flavor). This wouldn't at all stop me from returning and trying something else, like one of their cute specialty lattes if I'm feeling something on the sweeter side. Their prices are extremely reasonable, too.

They have standard chimney cake creations with ice cream but you can make your own if you wish. There was hardly a wait for your dessert to be ready. I got the matcha monster. The ice cream was so soft, light and not too sweet. The chimney cake itself was light, flaky, with enough structure to hold the ice cream. Caution of taking it out of the paper cone wrapper though because I almost dropped the entire thing. This was such a pleasant sweet experience and I would definitely make the extra drive to the westside for this!!

Thank you Yelp & house of chimney cakes for the summertime treat! I had a hard time deciding if I wanted Oreo or the Tiramisu. I went with the Tiramisu after having BBQ which was just a few doors down....review on that soon. The cone was freshly made, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Ice-cream was soft serve chocolate & vanilla with that also had a cookies on top with drizzle of chocolate....sweet but, not too sweet. Cone was really tasty and make sure you get to the bottom because there's another treat at the bottom. Great customer service and very clean facility with plenty of sitting area inside and out. The only issue I have is hours are different on the website, the hours sign in the window, and on yelp.
