    Souvenirs and other misc items

    Friendly people. Excellent piñon coffee. Lots of options in baked goods, sandwiches, and souvenirs. We stopped by both mornings for the coffee, crustless quiches and some baked goods. The server was super friendly and very helpful. Since we came during low season and in the middle of the week, some pastries may be a little past due. Suggest asking the server to suggest what's new and fresh. I had the crustless quiche...very yummy, cheesy with bacon bits - warmed up..yum. Please support local businesses and patron this awesome place.

    Super cute coffee and pastry shop in the heart of historic Route 66 nostalgia. If you're anywhere near Tucumcari, NM don't miss this stop. The Azteca coffee will wake you up. Ask for a pen to leave your mark on their bricks. More than coffee-- they offer baked goods, souvenirs, and memorabilia. Happy 100th Birthday, Route 66!

    Love the down home cozy ambiance here ! This town appears to be a very lovely very low cost place to live. Really really nice people here. Will come back! Right off the historic Route 66

    A sweet, cozy spot on old 66, Carlson's is warm and friendly. A large variety of sweet and savory baked goods--and homemade chicken dog treats--will satisfy everyone in your group. We had a peanut butter bar, apple cake, blueberry muffin and a croissant, all freshly made, and the chocolate pinon house bland (a touch sweet, might not need sugar). It's a must-stop for us in Tucumcari and I'd encourage everyone to support these lovely folks and their delicious treats!

    How does one decide? The Ted Lasso Biscuits were very tempting!

    Carlson Coffee is a wonderful oasis in the heart of Tucumcari, New Mexico. We were driving down I-40 and feeling a little fatigued. We definitely needed a coffee pick me up but when we walked into Carlson's we found so much more than coffee. The bakery is overflowing with temptations all baked in house. We ordered our coffee and added a cranberry white chocolate cookie, a pumpkin blondie, a chai spiced biscuit with lavender drizzle, and a pumpkin whoopie pie. The pastries were phenomenal and the cookie was delicious! We loved our quick stop at Carlson Coffee. The coffee was a nice jolt and the tasty baked items were extremely yummy! Yay!

    Pastry case full of goodies greets you as you enter!

We ordered the Breakfast Bowl and it was incredible: fresh ingredients, great portion, and packed with New Mexico flavor. The Zia Latte was outstanding too, with cinnamon and anise that made it feel really special compared to a typical latte. You can tell they care about what they serve. Friendly service, great coffee, great food, and a space that feels like a true community spot. Definitely worth a stop. We will absolutely be back next time we pass through.

This cute little coffee shop was not hard to find, it's located in a little town out of no where. As soon as I walked in, the first thing I see is the rainbow flag on the wall and I tell my son.. hey they represent your gang! :-) The next thing I notice is the rest of the cute decor. There was 2 other people in the coffee shop when we got there and shortly after others started to come in. They had a display case with a few baked goods and they have some unique flavors. I got the coffee with honey and it was quite good. It gave me a little boost in energy. I wanted a little more energy, but it did what it needed to do to get me to my next destination. The shop has several tables and thank goodness they had a restroom! Restroom was semi clean, but overall the place was clean. If I was ever in the area again, I would definitely stop here again and give this place another chance. Parking is not bad, there's not a lot of people so it was not an issue. There's other businesses nearby and I'm not sure what the day to day looks like, but it did not seem busy at all. The locals seem to like this place as it's rated pretty high. I did not get a chance to try the baked goods, but they did look delicious, if I ever come back then I would love to try that next time!
