I have seen this place for years but have never stopped. My peach chai was really good. The staff was welcoming and personable. What a cute place. Nice outdoor seating and some on the inside. Owned by the owner of Durans which I didn't realize.

A cozy little spot to grab a speciality latte with freshly ground coffee beans from a local roaster. You can pair it with one of their flaky, warm, buttery croissant or a green chile breakfast burrito. My personal pick is their "barista pick" coffee of the day -- lately, that's the pumpkin mocha and I get an oat milk substitute in there. The flaky croissants are just so good. I usually order that and it's gone in 5 minutes. They've got a little fireplace indoors which adds a homey touch. Check it out if you've got time for a quick stop.

Really good coffee and breakfast burritos. I loved the banana bread latte. Super friendly staff as well and lots of seating options.

Vegan burrito with red chili, bean, and rice.

Great oat milk, lavender matcha, vegan burritos, and a pretty good vegan muffin. The vegan burrito had amazing red chili flavor, with that classic New Mexican chili. Inside is super cute and they're super nice inside! So glad we could stop by on our trip to visit to ABQ this Christmas!

So not my first time at Remedy Coffee and probably not my last. I love a quaint patio paired with delicious coffee. I ordered a large iced Dulce de Leche latte and a bacon breakfast burrito. The menu is pretty extensive and they offer both sweet and savory treats ontop of the coffee and tea offerings. The space is really nice both inside and out. They also sell cool local art and merchandise worth checking out. They are located on the cusp of Downtown and Old Town right next to Duran's Pharmacy. I believe they are owned by the same people and they definitely carry Duran's burritos.

So many details that come together perfectly to result in an enjoyable dining experience.

When you are greeted by a warm smile and cheerful voice at 7:00 am, you know you've found your favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Isaac let us know, this is our place. On our first morning visiting Albuquerque, we started the day right with good company, hot and not-too-sweet mochas and these amazing homemade burritos. We sat in the sunny dining room, admiring the artful details of this little shop while sun poured in the windows. Locals dropped by and all seemed to find the same good-feels being greeted by Isaac and getting just what they needed to start their days off right as well. In a town with many quaint neighborhood coffee shops, Remedy is a gem.

Remedy coffee in old town offers a comfortable and homey environment. The drinks were amazing and very yummy. They also offer Student Days with a discount! Student study day information is on the slide so go check it out. *Overall Results* - 10/10 for good vibes - 7.5/10 for good drinks - 11/10 for customer service - 8.5/10 for aesthetic - 7/10 for money value

I finally got to try Remedy Coffee after driving past it for months! Their orange cardamom mocha really hit the spot on a cold morning; a perfect balance of citrus and spice with delicious espresso and chocolate. I can't wait to go back and try a different drink.

Morning necessities! This morning Sara and I cozying up in remedy coffee. It's so warm next to the fire . I tried the lavender honey kombucha and Sara has a lavender latte with almond milk. My kombucha was fresh , draft and so delicious. For a pint it was $4.50 which is about $1 more compare to buying it at sprouts , Whole Foods, Trader Joe's. But it's local and would highly recommended it. The latte was smooth and full of honey. It's a perfect balance of caffeine and sweetness.

Vegan pumpkin chocolate chip muffin & Vegan red pepper pastry.

Super cute coffee shop off Lomas. We entered the shop thru a south entrance, but first walked through an outdoor seating area that was a cozy, comfortable backyard or garden setting. When entering the shop, you immediately arrive at the ordering counter. The area was clean and the staff was friendly. They offer a variety of pastry's, pre-made breakfast burritos, and fresh baked yummies, some of which are vegan (so naturally I was quite excited). Both the hubby and I got Lattes (they offer alternative milks too) and breakfast snackies! I was so excited about my fresh baked, right out of the oven, warm vegan red pepper pastry and vegan pumpkin-choc chip muffin, I can't begin to remember what the hubby ate (probably some type of bran muffin or breakfast burrito). The food and coffee were delicious & fresh. The building was super cute and provided a fair amount of indoor and outdoor seating.. even a sweet little kiva fireplace inside. We've been back several times and will continue to support them.

LaLa G.

My first time here and was greeted with smiling faces and tasty suggestions on what to try! I'm glad I took that suggestion to heart and ordered the 16 ounce biscochito latte because it was so delicious! They have whole milk, almond milk, and soy milk options. Great indoor and outdoor cozy areas to sit, with an inviting fireplace as well. Plenty of accessible and convenient plugs for plugging in laptops or charging your device. Delicious treats, I had a very tasty chocolate chip muffin! Convenient and easy parking and lots of fun merchandise.

I got the poison I got the remedy I got the poison, the rhythmical remedy... Just in case you're wondering how old I am, this song goes through my skull everytime I visit this coffee shop. Released in 1994. Which is a wonderful shop! I'm liking everything about this recent addition to our caffeine scene, beginning with its ownership, Duran's Central Pharmacy. Fun fact: What unexpected benefit can a Remedy employee anticipate during a pandemic? Free vaccinations! Yep, the baristas at this essential shop have not thrown away their shots, and their enthusiasm and optimism bleeds through the thick plastic barrier separating them from those of us still anticipating our second dose. Other things you should know: + There's a lovely kiva fireplace inside, they often let it burn in warm weather. + The menu is chock full of imaginative drinks, if you're feeling fancy, go with The Remedy, a red chile-laced mocha which I take iced. + All of the alternative milks are stocked, I recommend oat. + All of the treats are made in-house, including breakfast burritos from Duran's, they're all good. + Affordable! Two big drinks and a brownie ran us less than ten bones. + This place will be five stars when the burgeoning patio matures into a proper chill spot, with lots of adequate shade. At the moment there are a few umbrella tables, and lots of cactus.

Nothing fixes a bad day like a good cup of coffee and a nice place to enjoy it. The aptly named Remedy offers just that. It's a fairly large coffee shop with two seating rooms (separate from the counter and espresso machine). This is a definite plus if you look for quiet places to get work done. They also have a large outdoor patio with lots of seating. There was a fire going in the fireplace when I was there, making for an extra cozy vibe. I ordered the honey lavender latte from the friendly baristas and found it smooth with just a light touch of lavender. The lavender comes from Los Poblanos, and a quick scan of their menu shows this is a local business that loves other local businesses. They stock chocolate from Eldora, burritos from Durans, and 4 varieties of kombucha (on tap!) from NM Ferments. Bright red chairs, clean brick floors, and succulents on every table make this such a pleasant environment you won't want to go home. read more

Delicious. Great sitting in their secluded courtyard sipping a cappuccino and nibbling a housemade blueberry scone. I both wish them continued success and kind of hate to see them become too popular. It's pretty great that I never see more than one or two other people there. And a shout out to the staff, they couldn't be sweeter. To be honest, I'm at a nearby popular restaurant as I write this. They also have an espresso machine and I ordered me a cappuccino and a breakfast sandwich. I'm waiting for the sandwich but I got the drink right away... as soon as I'm done eating (assuming it's good) I'll be walking to Remedy to remedy my cappuccino fix. read more

First time in and the customer service is stellar. One suggestion would be to have an additional espresso option that is less bright and more full body. Ordered a 16oz oat milk mocha that was only 3/4 full and with not having a larger size on offer to ensure you're at least getting a 16oz was rather disappointing. Mocha was luke warm to make matters worse. Felt safe and employees were wearing masks with plexi glass after ordering you're asked to sit outside and they bring your drink! read more

Returned to ABQ 12/10/20 and found that Remedy Coffee had finally reopened. I'm nearby, and walk over 2-3 times a week for a morning coffee drink and whatever fresh eats they've cooked up that day. The chicken pot pie is a home run. All the food is handmade right there...no outside suppliers. And the baristas couldn't be friendlier. Tried the macchiato for the first time instead of my usual cappuccino; it was the real deal, not a commercial-type preparation for the masses. read more

The first time I went to Remedy My girlfriend and I were impressed at the cleanliness, decor and design of the place. I also found the coffee very good. Despite these good notes, Our experience was overshadowed by the unwelcome vibe we encountered from the staff. We walked in and didn't get greeted or acknowledged. The argument that the staff was busy can not be mounted, as there were no other patrons in the shop at that time and caught them in the middle of a conversation. It felt as if we were bothering them and that had a negative impact on our experience as first time customers. To sum up, great coffee, lackluster customer service, 3 stars. read more

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.

I love the high ceilings and how the interior design is industrial minimalist. Their modern stadium style seating is welcoming and cozy. The various coffees are consistently good as are their baked goods which they usually source from various local bakeries. The service is decent. They rotate their baristas between their local coffeehouses which makes it fun and fresh for them and happy for us patrons. It's great that they are connected to/a part of 505 Central Food Hall because you can order food with your coffee and sit anywhere.

My coworker and I had t different things he got a smothered burrito and I got the brisket combo, both dishes were too much food for too grown men. Delicious and huge portions plus a really nice presentation. The wait was a bit long but that just means they are making everything before service. The only hard part was parking, it's a small lot so be prepared to walk a block or two during dinner rush. Trust me it's totally worth it!!!

Pozole not as good as the one I get at Meso Maya back home in DFW but it's still quite good. Seems like it was missing some acid or salt, not sure. Ambiance was ok but not great. Being in a strip mall isn't a great place and inside could use some plants and dividers between tables or areas. Liked the artwork, lighting, and decor though.

The parking is a bit crazy, they do have someone trying to help direct traffic through the parking lot. If you don't want to brave that though, there's plenty of street parking. It's busy but there's a lot of indoor and outdoor seating and the turnover pace is pretty good. Things can be a bit loud if you hit the crowded times, but really it's a popular spot for good reason. I got the sweet potato hash and it had the perfect mix of veggies and eggs and was cooked just right. I also tried one of their tea blends and it really hit the spot. The staff is all very friendly and helpful as well and the food comes out quickly. Anyway, great experience as always at the Grove!

The bread is clearly baked fresh and was nice and crusty on the outside and fluffy with the perfect chew on the inside. My mini me 1 inhaled her grilled cheese (of which my husband ordered the full size and also demolished his), and mini me 2 and I shared the toasted tuna melt. 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!

As I walked in, the space was large and a very nice young woman greeted me at the counter. I looked over the menu and immediately saw the monte cristo sandwich. She immediately informed me it wasn't traditional meaning it wasn't fried and was on a croissant. I added a scrambled egg. When she asked what I wanted to drink, I chose the homemade chai with oat milk. It was a little cold in there so I asked for it hot. She offered me water which was self serve. I sat down where I could see the decor. She brought out my chai, nice foam on top. It was delicious and not too sweet. My sandwich came out and it was a nice size and they didn't skimp on the toppings. Ham, cheese, jam and egg and a side of fruit. Very tasty and reasonably priced. I'll definitely come back, maybe I'll try it for lunch.

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!
