Welcoming cafe with beautiful, well made cakes, pastries and quiche. The spinach rolls looked tasty as well. Friendly and helpful staff serving at the counter only, keep an ear out for your name. Reasonable prices for Old Town and consistent with the city. Full flavoured coffee and tea creations. Lovely outdoor space in a “secret garden” along with cozy interior seating. A popular hot spot for good reason.

Both my wife and I liked the scone and the cold brew was very good. My wife said her Americano was very good. As you can see from the picture the inside is pretty large and has a variety of seating.
Services was a little slow on this busy Saturday at 11:30 AM. And the costs were a little high, but they are in the middle of the plaza with good places!
Recommended!

I gave this coffee house five stars for 3 reasons: It is in Albuquerque’s Old Town district which is fun and colorful, even though touristy. 2. The coffee tastes good! My husband and I opted out of all the specialty coffee drinks with these uber-sweet flavoring syrups. He got an iced cold brew and I got an Americano. Both smooth tasting with rich coffee flavor. 3. We tried blueberry scones and they were not over sweet at all and well-baked.
This shop is very popular and has a funky New Mexico meets Hippy Generation vibe.
There are indeed various flavors of lemonade and sparkling sodas. (Prickly Pear, Lavender, Violet and more)

The decor is nice inside, very raven-y themed. There is a stench coming from the fountain outside when you sit down though. It’s a really bad algae-y smell and it just put me off. We got the roadrunner iced and an oat cappuccino. The roadrunner was really cinnamon-y and my wife said that it was great. The cappuccino was a miss though I felt. There was a thin layer of foam followed by really hot liquid layer that I almost burnt my lips. The coffee itself was decent. they had many seasonal drinks available – today it was pumpkin and fall specials mostly.

Cute ambiance and decor. Honey bear latte was delicious. The croissant may have been better not heated up, the pastry seems to be just ok. Not much lamination or flake. Always searching for the perfect one

This café is a jewel box – with pretty prints on the walls and stained glass art catching the light just so. The staff are all warmth and smiles, making you feel instantly at home. The iced Jack Rabbit was a delight, caramel and lavender woven together in layers that felt both surprising and deeply satisfying. We also tried a green sparkling soda (the name eacapes me, but the taste doesn’t) – bright, refreshing, and downright plucky…if a drink can ever be plucky. The chili quiche was crumbly and yum. And here’s a thoughtful touch I loved: some tables come with outlets for chargers. It’s like the cafe knew both you and your phone needed recharging.

Complete hidden gem in Old Town. The coffee is fantastic and the food is insanely delicious. I went twice this week (really loved it that much) and got the vegan burrito one day and the French taco the other. Both were insanely delicious. I’ll be back for sure. My only complaint is that at the times of day I went, there weren’t any tables available inside for a group (we were 3) to sit at since people working on laptops were taking up the 4 seaters. My suggestion would be at peak hours to have laptops only at the bar table, but other than that the atmosphere is great.

The Blackbird is perfectly balanced with a little heat and dark chocolate. They had expanded their store area and made it a bit roomier. Excellent service always and great crafted coffees that are not your standard coffeehouse options.

Local coffee shop right in old town. It is a touristy area so expect higher than normal prices and longer waiting times. Their hot tea and the pastries are delicious. I recommend the spinach rolls.
Lovely outdoor patio with lots of vegetation. Indoor sitting also available.
