I absolutely LOVE Little Bear. I've been going here for years, the coffee is great, and the…read morebaristas are fantastic. It's my local coffee shop where they know my name and my order as soon as I walk in. I also love the atmosphere here even though it is often crowded. It's a great place to get some work done, or to meet a friend to chat. Literally the only issue I have with them is their new ordering/card reader system. It's often down, which results in long lines, long waits, and stressed out baristas. Also, their it's tied to their loyalty program, so when I go there and their system is down, I don't get points. Would love it if they went back to the old system! Other than that, Little Bear Uptown is my favorite place to get coffee in Albuquerque.

First, how is this place not a full 5 stars? Great coffee, super people, and of course the…read moreatmosphere smells like coffee! I was greeted at the door by a customer's very friendly golden lab, best greeting of the day btw. The coffee was as requested without issue. There is only one size (12oz) so I grabbed two since I'm a traveling man today. I like my coffee so needed that spare. Cinnamon rolls can be found but overall this is a coffee shop. Not like grandma's hash slinging eggs over easy, coffee, reading, chatting, and just enjoying the day in general. If I had more time, I would have written some on my dissertation this morning. Cheers to Little Bear for a great vibe!

It's common for businesses to deteriorate over time. Whether they lose their vision or management…read morechanges, things can go downhill quickly. Not so with Rise + Roast! The donuts are consistently good; dare I say, the best in the city. The staff is warm and friendly, greeting you when you enter and again when you leave; with smiles even bigger than their donuts! The inside is small, but always clean and inviting. Pulling up those large garage-style windows would make the space feel even more open. Their cold brew is flavorful, though I'd love to see them use a lighter roast to cut some of the smokier notes--but that's more personal preference than criticism. It's great to see a local business thriving and taking good care of its employees. Keep it up!

I want to start with support for this shop as I know they are having permit issues and have been…read morehaving them since October or November. They are currently not doing any cannabis sales (no CBD either), but are continuing to operate the coffee shop with hope that their permit could be approved soon. The workers were both great, super knowledgeable. We ordered two matcha lattes and a chagaccino (mushroom cappuccino). My sister really liked her matcha but unfortunately mine had close to no actual matcha in it and was mainly milk. The mushroom cappuccino was very very good.

But few things make me happier than seeing mom and pop places do what they do well and i am super psyched when others contribute to their success. This goes double for anyone who makes pastries, Triple if they also make a good chocolate or almond croissant. Le Bakery does all these things. They don't always have a ton of pastries on display (or maybe it just reduces pastry crime?) so it's your fault if you show up and they are out... early bird gets the croissant and all that. Come here if you need your fix... we need this place to stick around, i need this place to stick around. They have good coffee and lunch too and pleasant indoor/outdoor seating too!!! Great service, big smiles... what more does anyone need in life?

I think it would have been better warmed, but it was still really good and had amazing flavor. So ask if they don't offer! Service was kind, helpful, and quick! A little inside seating and even more outside. If we had more time I would have sat outside for a while. I would recommend and would like to go back and try more things and have my pastry warmed.

This place was pretty busy and hopping and inviting.. The service was awesome and everyone was polite and helpful.. I had the avocado toast which ranks right up there with as good as I've had. I also ordered a latte with whole milk and half simple syrup.(it was extremely good.). Look at the chocolate croissant, which was really good as well as the orange loaf., also really tasty. I ordered an iced blueberry maple cold foam latte ( it was ok but not as expected). Lastly ordered the seasonal salad which was awesome. Can't wait to go back again..
