Hands down the best coffee option downtown- amazing coffee options, really friendly staff and good vibes! The music is energetic, and the positivity is palpable. I’m so glad I found The Brew!
Such a great place downtown to grab coffee and a quick bite. The service was great and the drinks and food were delicious and health conscious. It has a lot of comfy seating, and an awesome outdoor seating area. You can tell a lot of love has gone into this place, highly recommend.
I ordered pour over and the Nutella cornetto. Both were delish! When I placed the order they warned me it would take a little more time than espresso, which was a nice heads-up. I watched the barista make the pour over. It really takes time to heat the water to not-quite-boiling and then slowly drizzle the hot water over the coarse grounds in concentric circles and then wait for it all to drip down!! It's so much easier to pull an espresso, so I felt a bit bad asking for it since it was busy, but I heard they made good pour overs. You can sit at the counter and watch the barista. Nice clean, tasty place.
This coffee shop offers consistently delicious coffee with a great variety of options. The staff is friendly and always a pleasure to chat with. Whether you're working downtown or just passing through, it's definitely worth a visit. The only downside is their limited hours.
Might be the best mocha in ABQ! This cafe uses their own Colombian beans with a rich, nutty flavor profile that perfectly compliments the chocolate flavorings of their mocha. The cafe is spacious, with indoor and outdoor seating (though not a ton of the layers.) There’s great art on the walls, along with the usual assortment of coffee beans and paraphernalia for sale. The barista was very friendly and made one heck of a drink. Highly recommend this coffee joint deep in the heart of downtown ABQ of 3rd and Gold.
Absolutely the best coffee, ANYWHERE! You cannot find another place like it; they grow the coffee, harvest it, roast it, and brew it! They have converted me to a coffee drinker because now I know what good coffee tastes like!!
This was my first visit to the Brew Coffee Bar. I had the turtle latte. The latte tasted great with good flavor and good temperature. The bar was very busy, but the staff got the orders out very quickly. The space was clean and modern with a friendly atmosphere. I will be returning to the Brew Coffee Bar.
Here's a hip little coffee shop with high quality java, a good ambiance, and soulful music. Good street parking (metered), and close to some 2/day lots, this is a great spot anytime you're downtown.
