    Hundred Acre Woods honey cold foam matcha
    Fiana S.

    Really nice coffeeshop. It has a unique, artsy vibe inside the little shop, and an extensive hidden patio wrapped around in back. It's very welcoming to LGBTQ+ patrons, and anti-ICE. They had creative and fun spring seasonal drinks. Mine was named for Winnie the Pooh and came with honey and bee pollen. My yogurt parfait had homemade granola. I like their attention to details. Great coffeeshop to support in Old Town.

    I brought my baby here so we could get out of the house and it was a nice little outing. There is limited seating indoors (just a few small tables) but they also have a patio out back. Also keep in mind that there is a couple small steps down into the cafe, but not bad. I was able to get my small stroller in no problem. The service was really good. The man working the counter answered all my questions and was very welcoming. I had a very interesting g coffee that had sweet corn cold foam. I wasn't sure I would like it but it was surprisingly delicious, and a good size too. I also had a berry ricotta cake that was moist and delicious. I would definitely come again next time I'm in Old Town

    So many local goodies.

    What isn't there to say about this place!? Omg. I had the absolute best blueberry, lemon cake with a powder frosting. & a double shaken espresso latte with a soft top. Eveything inside and out is a whole vibe. The art work, the couches, the local art and set up. There's magazines everywhere. Local food and bread! I want to try the sourdough so bad. The outside patio is soooo cozy, there's so many places to sit. You do have to catch this place when it's open! I would make sure to check the hours! The staff is also super sweet, getting recommendations from them never fails. I always make sure to go as SOON as they open cause it's no joke when they get packed!

    Clever, cute and quality. Those are the three words to describe Santa Cecilia. Tucked away in the Old Town area, Santa Cecilia is a diamond in the rough... I am not kidding. The menu is focused. Yeah you can order an Americano but you'd be missing out. You've Got Mail, When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle are interesting takes that lends itself as a Prelude to a Kiss. I had the sleepless in Seattle and try the breakfast burrito... they make it panini style. Enough said. Mic drop.

    Beautiful little coffee shop. Wonderful and inviting community. Our coffee and sweets were absolutely amazing and the courtyard is perfect for enjoying the delicious treats.

    If you know me, you know I love coffee shops and the variety in them across the city. Santa Cecilia is located in Old Town and a relatively new one to the Albuquerque coffee scene, it is so cute and an absolute must visit. The personality of the business is very clear and unique from the moment you walk in. They have such fun decor and menu items. Overall the space is really cozy and I love the outside space in the warmer weather. Also the coffee is good which isn't always true for cute coffee shops. Good coffee and a total vibe.

    Santa Cecilia really outdid themselves this time. I am consistently impressed with the intentional ingredients and cultural integration of this lovely small business in Old Town. Their charm and aesthetic never compensate for the quality of their products. They are equally matched. My service is always excellent, whatever you order, you will most likely love. And sometimes, a marigold cinnamon oat milk black tea will dissolve into you like medicine. Thank you, Compa

    We were in the Old Town area and figured we would stop in for a mid morning snack. There was a…read morelittle bit of a line, but it moved pretty quick. There are so many drinks to choose from, some bakery treats, and on weekend, Croffles (croissant dough waffles). Since it was Saturday I ordered the strawberry croffle and a cucumber sparking water, my husband tried one of the lattes. Everything was ready quick and tasted great. We found a spot to sit down and eat and enjoyed the coziness of the cafe. There are lots of blackbird decor items all over the shop. The courtyard was also so pretty. We would visit again!

    I love blackbirds so I was sold as soon as I saw the raven (crow?) beckoning me in…read more The decor did not disappoint! Blackbird art everywhere and a very 90s old school coffeehouse vibe. Plenty of seating with tables, comfortable chairs and banquet seating if that's more your thing. On a nice day, sit outside as it's absolutely lovely out there, downright magical. Baristas are so nice and they put a lot of effort into crafting your drink. Admittedly, I didn't love my Americano but that had more to do with the type of bean (think a brighter flavor, while I prefer a dark roasted nutty flavor). This wouldn't at all stop me from returning and trying something else, like one of their cute specialty lattes if I'm feeling something on the sweeter side. Their prices are extremely reasonable, too.

    First time visiting Cutbow Coffee Roasters, but I've been drinking coffee long enough to know the…read moredifference between good coffee and coffee that merely exists. 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.

    Service was so kind and helpful with recommendations and questions around coffee and pastries…read more I got the mocha with macadamia milk. It was delicious. Very mild chocolate, I believe it is Dutch chocolate if my memory services me not to sweet which I appreciate. It was delightfully well balanced. The coffee itself is very smooth and not bitter, excellent taste! I will be back for sure to try other options there are lots of choices. I should have taken a picture of the menu. There is ample seating both inside and outside, had I not had my toddler with me I would have loved to sit out front but it is right by the road so a no go with a rambunctious little boy... There is additional outside seating to the side and farther from the road too. I look forward to my next trip.
