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!

They're always creative and interesting without being too much or having weird overpowering flavors. Everything feels really well balanced and somehow perfect for the new mexico weather, whether it's something refreshing on a hot day or cozy on a cool winter day. And thank you to all the employees who are always so sweet just like their​ treats!

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.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this gem I definitely recommend it to anyone local or passing through who want good vibes, good flower, and a really great assortment of drinks to choose from!! #staylit and #STAYBAD

Hidden gem! What a…read moresweet little shop this is. Didn't expect to find so many incredible teas. Even tho we were here for coffee, I did buy some tea to take home. The iced vanilla latte was equally good! Large comes with 3 shots. They have almond milk as well as the regular milk. The 2 workers were helpful and friendly. So glad we came across this while visiting Albuquerque. We'll be back.

I live in Washington State--widely known for having some of the "best" coffee around. And sure,…read moreI've had some great cups here. But my favorite roasted coffee beans actually come from this cute little roasterie in Albuquerque! I've been buying from Moon's for years, and during a trip for the Balloon Fiesta in 2019, my son and I had the pleasure of meeting Joy and Jori in person. They were so kind and welcoming, and it made us appreciate their work even more. In my opinion, their roasting is spot-on--rich, flavorful, and always balanced. Every blend I've tried has been incredible. Having a burr grinder to grind these is key! My son's more of a tea guy, and he was excited to pick up some of their loose leaf selections too. If you ever get the chance, go visit Moon's and meet these wonderful folks. The coffee somehow tastes even better when you know who's behind it.

I really enjoy this cafe. This time I ordered carne adovada and eggs, which were delicious. I had a…read moreMexican mocha, which was also delicious. My friend had huevos rancheros which she very much enjoyed. The service has always been good and consistent. They have a beautiful patio for those is us who like the fresh air. Some shade and some sun. I highly recommend Cinnamon Sugar and Spice Cafe for a great breakfast with tarty drinks.

I visited today and had a very bad experience with the owner…read more I had my pet/service animal with me and was on a first date. He's a Yorkie and yes he provides tasks for me related to several medical issues. In fact he is very sensitive to my needs. The owner was confrontational and told me to sit outside, service animal or not. Then she started asking me what she has a right to, but at this point seemed unnecessary. I was on a first date, so I hesitated to say it loud given my first date. Then she snarled at me saying "I'm allowed to ask those questions." If it didn't matter to her if he was a service animal or not, then why the questions? I went back in to get the drinks they forgot to give us, and I showed her his documentation, though not required. She then told me "he's not a service dog!" This may get criticism or kudos, but I fail to see why the owner needed to be so rude and confrontational, especially when I was compliant with her wishes and compliant with the ADA laws. I have been asked the question, "what service does he perform?" at other restaurants, and businesses in Albuquerque without confrontation. They have acted with kindness and professionalism, directed me where to sit, asked for him to sit on the floor, etc. This woman did not and I felt she was purposely confrontational.

The space is inviting for work, a small gathering, or a coffee break. A great addition is the staff, who was very nice throughout our experience. We got the biscochito blend and it was delightful and their small empanadas were ok. Even though it was a brief visit, I am very tempted to try their flavored ground coffee bags, which includes Mexican spiced chocolate, dulce de leche, vanilla bourbon, piñón fudge, and piñón blonde. We are excited to returning back multiple times to try more stuff!

The biscochito coffee is my absolute favorite and I had the blended signature latte. It was the perfect balance of cinnamon,sugar, and anise.

The server was very kind. Can't wait to go back!
