You can tell they truly care about quality and craft. The homemade pastries are incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with intention. Their house-made syrups take every drink to the next level and make even a simple latte feel special. The space itself is efficient and thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to relax or get some work done without feeling cramped. On top of all that, the staff is super welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, which makes every visit feel like home. If you're looking for a café that nails coffee, food, atmosphere, and service--this is it.

The music was so loud that it wouldn't matter if I used noise canceling headphones. Forget about a conference call. It's just not happening. Also, the acoustics of the room are such that every voice echoes, creating so much sound that I just had to get the hell out of there. It wasn't just me, either. The lady next to me moved outside. Again, the staff were over the top amazing. Hope they can make some adjustments because it's ideally located for me.

From the moment you walk in, the vibe pulls you in: quirky, playful, and full of personality. The decor alone feels like a conversation starter. Where else are you going to see two kiwis watching a sloth and a teddy bear play for real cash? Exactly. The drinks hold their own, too. The dirty chai with boba hit that perfect afternoon reset--smooth, energizing, and just indulgent enough. The Thai tea is another standout, whether you go classic or add boba for a little extra texture. Bottom line: fun atmosphere, memorable details, and drinks that deliver. Starry Moon isn't just a stop--it's an experience.

This was my first time at Flying Star on Juan Tabo. My friend and I were waiting what seemed to be…read morea very long time for our order, in fact, other tables that arrived after us had already eaten and some leaving! My friend went to check out where our food was, and sure enough, our ticket got lost somewhere, hence, the reason why we never got our food. Well, the Assistant Manager, Matt, jumped in and rescued us and did the right thing, as a great manager should, and took care of us, including our choice of any item from the desert case. When our food did arrive we were both happy with our breakfasts and the fantastic coffee. We had the Ranch Breakfast, 2 eggs with your choice of turkey sausage. bacon or ham. Also, a Rise and Shine sandwich which is scrambled eggs, cheese and choice of same meats as listed above, on a homemade biscuit. Would I go back? Absolutely. There are several other items that appeal to me.

If I were you, I'd save your money and eat literally anywhere else in Albuquerque.

Every employee I encountered was kind and made me feel welcome.

The bottom was filled with blackberry sauce and they didn't bother mixing the drink, but I got it stirred up and tried it and it was barely edible. No offense to the person who made it, but it was horrible drink. I move onto the frosted Snowberry snowy which was pretty much the same a glass of blueberry sauce in the bottom and like coffee on top. It was extremely sweet and was not in the least bit balanced, so that drink also got tossed.. I got the kicking chicken with the jalapeño biscuit which was better than the drinks by far. The chicken was tasty and moist and the biscuit was dry. Just had to add some hot sauce to it to make it decent. I had really had high hopes of a good experience here and I'm sorry to say it was not but the staff was helpful and polite so that was a plus. Maybe someday I'll try this place again and hope for a better result.
