I _really_ like this place. Brought my wife this morning and had another lovely experience.
Napoli Coffee opened this very nice new place on Montgomery (and next year on the West Side, they tell me), and I'm really happy about it. Just the nicest (friendly, helpful, genuine, talented) counter folks working coffee in Albuquerque (which is saying something) and a really good menu of drinks as well as a decent selection of noshes. Parking is a breeze. And the pricing is low enough that (if you're like me) you'll want to leave a better-than-suggested tip.
My 20-oz drip coffee was good, on par with what I usually drink at home, which is to say completely up to my snooty standards. A made-to-order breakfast burrito (Christmas, handheld, bacon and sausage) was not the largest in the world but was very tasty - the chiles were not especially piquant, but they had character . . . mmm! Today's
breakfast bowl benefited from the kind staffers' suggestions of added veggies (tomatoes, spinach and wonderfully cut chunks of red onion that added bursts of texture and refreshing flavor) to the notably fluffy eggs, potatoes, cheese and wonderfully garlicky chiles (I did both red and green - I'm really liking the chile here). My wife got an everything bagel with cream cheese and bacon (?) as well as a peppermint tea, and she just really liked the experience.
The room is pleasant and has plenty of varied places to sit already. Pleasant tunes in the background at just the right volume - the Heights outlet of Napoli Coffee is a great place to meet friends. I'll be back soon! read more
