First review of the year- yay! My friend wanted to try this place out, so we came yesterday around…read morenoon. There's seating indoors and outdoors. There were ornaments and chocolate truffles for sale and a wide variety of pastries and sweets. I got the pumpkin bread ($4.25) and a medium biscochito latte. My friend got the white chocolate cherry scone and a latte. For both of us, it came out to $19. Baristas were friendly. And while the biscochito latte was good, it wasn't quite as sweet as I had hoped. 2026 #1

Finally made it in! It's been on the bucket list for a while…read more I got the Zia with white chocolate iced with oat milk! It was delicious! Perfect blend not too sweet and just the right amount of flavor! Service was kind and helpful with recommendations and helping my son pick a donut flavor. He got the cherry blossom donut and loved it. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! We sat outside and it was perfect outside. Highly recommend and will be back again I want to try the Turkish latte next!

One of my favorite coffee shops in ABQ because of how good the coffee is. My go-to is the iced Zia…read morelatte with chocolate and white chocolate. Every time I get it, it's good. Consistency is there! They have specialty teas, lattes, and plenty of add-on's like coffee ice-cubes and a variety of alternative milk options. They also offer food items like breakfast burritos and pastries. The ambiance is on the busier side because it's always packed and people are talking/working but I love the plants and vibes.

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!

It's common for businesses to deteriorate over time. Whether they lose their vision or management…read morechanges, things can go downhill quickly. Not so with Rise + Roast! The donuts are consistently good; dare I say, the best in the city. The staff is warm and friendly, greeting you when you enter and again when you leave; with smiles even bigger than their donuts! The inside is small, but always clean and inviting. Pulling up those large garage-style windows would make the space feel even more open. Their cold brew is flavorful, though I'd love to see them use a lighter roast to cut some of the smokier notes--but that's more personal preference than criticism. It's great to see a local business thriving and taking good care of its employees. Keep it up!

Found this spot after much research because my hubby loves espresso. There was a lot of magazines…read moreand newspapers to read. It had a very cozy homey feel. The owner was really nice. He takes his time to listen to how you like your coffee and takes the time until it comes out just the way you like it. My husband said it was a highlight to our trip to ABQ. It was reasonably priced and we definitely recommend coming if you're a coffee connoisseur! I definitely say if you come here, be patient and I hope you are not in a rush because its a one man show. 2 thumbs up from this Yelper! Tips: *Street parking. Metered. *Small indoor and outside seating. *Credit card accepted.

But do I still wish that Rust is Gold would do a little more in that department? YESSSSS. I've been in a few times in the early afternoon where the food offerings were completely drained for the day, and all I wanted was something sweet with my bevvy.

First time I visited. Ordered a croissant, latte, Danish, and Green Chile Biscuit. The latte was…read moregood, but the pastries were awful. Danish was hard, dry and stale. Croissant was the worst I ever had. It was doughy and flavorless. It must have weighed a quarter pound. Biscuit was ok, but a bit stale. Prices were high and I will never go back. Croissants at the supermarket are even better.
