I came here with a friend and the place is adorable! They have such cute plushies and toys for sale laying around. The staff is friendly and the drinks are great! Definitely will go back when I'm in the area.

Sandra B.

Cute little boba place. Located in the mini mall strip on San Mateo. When I saw tarro on the menu, I knew what I was going to get. The drink was exactly what I wanted. And came in a cute cup. I will be back

So it's darn near impossible to go wrong with some ice cold boba on a hot day. Seriously, even a milkier drink is so refreshing. I ordered a brown sugar boba with lite ice and 30% sugar which was still plenty sweet. The portion was very generous, I don't remember asking but I think the drinks all came the same size. Anyways, the boba was super yummy. I always get the traditional boba and Nana's was a little smaller in size than some of the other places around town but the serving size was comparable. I would advice that it is definitely more of a grab and go kind of spot, the seating is limited. Make sure to take a pic with their made-for-Insta wall before you go though.

This is one of the first places I tried moving to New Mexico, and I loved it. It ranks #9 out of 20 on my boba list. The servings are generous and it tastes fresh and hydrating!!!

Brown sugar milk tea, 100% sugar, less ice, with black boba and cream cheese.

Nana's Tea House has a cozy environment, and the employees are very kind. I really enjoyed the seating area and how Nana's Tea House is decorated. They have the cutest boba tea plushies and keychains available for customers to purchase. I believe they only have one size of cup, as I wasn't asked what size I wanted. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea, with less ice, 100% sugar, and for my toppings I got black boba and cream cheese. My drink was absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend visiting if you are looking for a new place to get your boba tea fix. The black boba had a great chewy texture, and was subtly sweet. The cream cheese was foamy and added a subtle tangy taste.

Andrea F.

We stopped in for some much needed tea and caffeine and was very pleasantly surprised. The place was clean, decorated adorably and the staff was very kind. They didn't have the earl gray in stock so I went for black tea instead with 30% sweet. Very tasty!

The first day we decided to go out our comfort zone for boba in town we chose to start with Nana's Tea House. I had the taro slush and not pictured was the other, Thai tea. The taro slush was ok, might have gone too low on the sugar. It still had flavor but it had more of the slush consistency with little to no flavor. The Thai tea was more water less tea and we probably messed up on the sugar by going too low. I'm giving them a 4 out of 5 though because it was probably more an issue on our end than theirs. The place was cute and the staff was nice. If we go again we'll try something else and maybe not touch the sugar or go too low.

Junior B.

Menu selection is a good overwhelming choice's. The staff are friendly and helpful. The tea is a perfect combo in each of our drinks. I recommend but its me, F1+. Cold or hot weather is the perfect spot. Come see this cute tea boba house. It's bobalicious!!

Kiara B.

The location was very clean and staff was polite. We only got drinks on the go, and they were great. I got Thai tea with classic boba. I love that you get to choose your sweetness level for your drinks. My daughter got chocolate slush. Which she loved, chose her sweetness level as well. We will be returning someday.

F8. Strawberry Green Tea with added peach flavor.

Felicity F.

I got a strawberry peach green tea 50% sweet with extra strawberry popping boba. They used fresh strawberries and muddled them up to put in my drink. Very flavorful, not too sweet, amazing flavor in the popping boba, NOT artificial tasting. First time trying this place, but I will definitely be returning ! In my opinion it is the best local and authentic tea house I've been to in Albuquerque.

Veronica C.

This place is adorable!!!! If you have ever needed/wanted boba plushes then this place has them all! More importantly, they have actual boba! I have been hoping to stop in here for a while and I finally made it. Service was friendly, fast, and the drinks were great!

Lee L.

Cute Boba tea place, yummy tea but nothing that would set them apart from other BBT places in the area. Seems like it's an older couple that runs the place, not a very welcoming or friendly environment.

This is my 5th time visiting and love the service. They're so nice and very patient with your orders. The boba tea is very tasty and have both fruit/black boba. I highly recommend if you're looking for a fast drink for a date or birthday. Thank you!!!

Great honeydew green tea boba! Placed my order and walked over a couple stores to pick up a few unnecessary things from dollar tree. I'm a new mom and this really hit the spot. Loved how I got to choose the ice and sweetness level. Super cute spot too, lots of little knick knacks and cute earrings! read more

My daughter found this tea house. She had been here before and wanted me to try. It's really cute. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Also very quick making our teas. The tea was very good. The boba was fresh and warm. I am giving them a 4 but probably 4.5. They just are not outstanding or unique. Store is cute and clean. Bathroom was clean too. read more

I feel like Nanas Tea House is underrated for how good it is. The location is in an easy location, and fast service. The decorations of the shop are like no others. It's super cozy with cute designs with a variety of comfortable seating and games to play. I got the strawberry black milk tea at 30% sweetness and black boba and ice and it is so good. The boba is fresh, and super soft. The drink had a fresh strawberry purée which was sweet and sour. The sweetness was still sweet so I can imagine if you got full sweetness be prepared! Overall it was delicious or bobalicious ;) read more

Friendly staff but pricy boba. Really appreciate the option to control sugar and ice, but I'd prefer to have my boba tea served in a cheaper cup if that would bring down the prices...

Staff claimed they could not check them, honor them, refund their value, or reload a new gift card, which struck me as strange. Cards have no language about an expiration. They needed an original receipt, which odd in that it wouldn't validate current value, and seems like an easy excuse. One would assume a better customer policy would be considered, versus it feeling like a cash scam. They have a lot of signs up about buying their new gift cards too. Generally not one to review a bad experience but the sunk $50 and interest they have in gift cards felt worth reporting....Otherwise, the boba is fine. Added some photos to save other holders a trip

From the moment you walk in, the vibe pulls you in: quirky, playful, and full of personality. The decor alone feels like a conversation starter. Where else are you going to see two kiwis watching a sloth and a teddy bear play for real cash? Exactly. The drinks hold their own, too. The dirty chai with boba hit that perfect afternoon reset--smooth, energizing, and just indulgent enough. The Thai tea is another standout, whether you go classic or add boba for a little extra texture. Bottom line: fun atmosphere, memorable details, and drinks that deliver. Starry Moon isn't just a stop--it's an experience.

It was a nice dessert on a hot Friday afternoon, and if you're willing to pay too much for boba, why not Bing Tea? That purple taro color sure is pretty.

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.

Good balance of tuna, celery, and bread ratio, but I didn't dig the olives in it. There's a mini kale salad that comes with entrees, and it was healthy and palatable for kale. We did end up balancing that green with the pistachio cruffin and pistachio chocolate chip cookie. Would definitely go back for the cruffin with its flaky layers and luscious pastry cream. Cookie was less impressive but still worth the impulse buy. Indoor and breezy outdoor seating available. Highly recommend!

Antiquity Restaurant

For our 20th anniversary, we were looking for more than just a great steak dinner, we wanted an…read moreexperience. After several locals recommended Antiquity, we quickly learned why reservations are so hard to come by. We couldn't secure a table on our actual anniversary, but managed to get one a couple of nights later, and it was well worth the wait. From the outside, Antiquity is understated. Step inside, however, and you're immediately welcomed into a warm, intimate atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem tucked away in Old Town Albuquerque. Owner Steve, who has been running the restaurant for nearly three decades, greeted us personally. His passion for hospitality was evident from the moment we arrived. While we waited briefly for our table, he took time to learn about us, ask what types of food we enjoy, and offer thoughtful menu recommendations. The restaurant itself is charming and authentic, with an old-world steakhouse feel that perfectly complements the historic New Mexico setting. Many of the tables and booths are arranged to create private, intimate dining spaces, making it an ideal choice for special occasions. We were touched when Steve seated us at what he called the "anniversary table," complete with a small scattering of heart confetti, despite our celebration having technically passed. Service throughout the evening was exceptional. Rather than relying on a single server, the entire staff worked seamlessly together. Water glasses were never less than half full, empty plates disappeared almost instantly, and every member of the team seemed genuinely invested in ensuring guests had a memorable experience. Even the kitchen staff engaged warmly with diners, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. As for the food, it exceeded every expectation. We started with oysters on the half shell, which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. I upgraded to the special salad, a beautiful combination of greens, apples, strawberries, mandarin oranges, walnuts, bacon, and a creamy mini brie, all brought together with a delicious pear vinaigrette. For our entrée, we chose the Châteaubriand for two. It was expertly prepared, carved tableside, and cooked perfectly. Every recommendation we received was spot-on, and the meal was so impressive that before leaving, I made another reservation for later that week just so I could return and try more of the menu before our trip ended. Antiquity offers beer and wine rather than a full bar, which was perfectly fine for us and fit the restaurant's classic, understated character. This is not an inexpensive dinner, nor should it be. What you're paying for is exceptional food, genuine hospitality, flawless service, and an atmosphere that is increasingly difficult to find. Antiquity doesn't simply serve dinner, it creates an experience. If you're visiting Albuquerque and looking for a memorable meal, especially for a special occasion, this restaurant deserves a spot at the very top of your list.

No, so don't expect change for the sake of patrons' convenience. At least the person who answers the phone, and frankly, that's more than you get from most restaurants these days. Very unassuming on the outside. Inside, you can tell it's an established place that's been around for a while. Arrived a few minutes early for our celebratory reservation and were seated right away in a quiet, private book surrounded by art and dim lighting. For starters, my gumbo was good, and his salad looked as good as it tasted. For entrees, husband got sucked in by the specials and ordered the schnitzel, which (to quote Shania) didn't impress me much. To clarify, there was nothing wrong with it, but I've had a lot of schnitzel, and it just failed to stand out. I kept to the classics with a filet mignon. To my surprise, it left the same impression. Again, absolutely nothing wrong with it - cooked well, quality cut, etc. - but I've had more memorable steaks at High Noon Saloon. *shrug* Highlight: The servers were exceptional. Lowlight: The sconce / light fixture over our table was in need of a dusting. Overall: A lovely evening to toast my guy's significant professional achievement. Would recommend if you find yourself stuck in the rut of bad service when dining out. Antiquity's dinner service will remind you how a night on the town is supposed to feel!
