She was very responsive via text. I ended up ordering a 6" 2 layer pumpkin cake (in which pumpkin is a specialty flavor and hard to find out of season) with gold leaf for $40. I forgot to ask her what kind of frosting it would come with, but ended up with a frosting that was subtly sweet and tasted like a combination of cream cheese and buttercream. The cake was nice and moist. She even threw in a "Happy Birthday" cake topper, without us even mentioning it would be for a birthday. She follows all COVID and other safety protocols. Would recommend for any cake needs in the future. It was an easy experience and everyone loved the cake! 2023 #1

Ashley was wonderful to work with from start to finish for our wedding cake…read more Communication was easy, and our tasting was one of the highlights of wedding planning. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. On the wedding day, the cake itself was moist, flavorful, and exactly what we had hoped for. There was a small issue during transportation that affected part of the cake. What impressed me most was how Ashley handled it. She immediately took ownership of the situation and went above and beyond to make it right. She even offered to drive back to her bakery to bring us additional desserts and offered multiple solutions to ensure we had a wonderful experience. The desserts were incredible, and her customer service was even better. She truly cared about making sure we were happy, and that meant so much to us. I would absolutely recommend her.

Crumb of brownie was super tender, on the verge of falling apart. But was moist enough to hang together and it ate okay with a fork. Portion size was large'ish. The chocolate cupcake with the cherry on top, by comparison, was pretty subdued and neutral in flavor. The frosting was standard butter cream so far as I could tell. There's a red velvet brownie still on deck, so we will see how that one tastes.

I visit sometimes once or twice a week and the owners are always friendly to me! More importantly, the pastries are absolutely incredible! Every bite is like an experience. I enjoy the fact that they make things up that it's not always the same menu and you can get new items when they come out. I also will buy there bread that they make in house and come home and make sandwiches with it. If you're in the neighborhood, give this gem a try!

I think it would have been better warmed, but it was still really good and had amazing flavor. So ask if they don't offer! Service was kind, helpful, and quick! A little inside seating and even more outside. If we had more time I would have sat outside for a while. I would recommend and would like to go back and try more things and have my pastry warmed.

As part of the Collective, ABQ Coffee is charming surrounded by local goods and friendly people. The menu is comprehensive, with breakfast and lunch items, from chilaquiles to tortas. The breakfast bagel screamed at both of us and we also got an ube matcha and a mazapán coffee. The toasted bagel was full of fluffy omelette with cheese, bacon, and tasty green chile. Definitely a nice breakfast item if you want to be full and very satisfied. The ube matcha was a nice matcha and the mazapán coffee definitely had the spirit and essence of a mazapán. Overall, this was a good first experience at ABQ Coffee that kept us interested in trying other things, especially that mango adovada on tacos, tortas, or burritos.
