We were there fairly early on a Saturday morning and it wasn't very busy when we arrived, but it got a bit busier before we left! The staff were friendly and efficient. We each ordered a coffee and a pastry and sat for a while. The place is cool - we like a good vibe and this place has it! We live almost 1000 miles from there, so we likely won't be back, but we highly recommend it!

Normally the flavor at other coffee shops lack flavor but Zendo definitely delivered. I think my only downside was the fact that it was only one size, I would have loved to have larger sizes as the moment I finished the drink I realized the cup was pretty small for the price. Overall, I would still recommend dropping by for coffee.

During the colder or rainy weather, Grandma's has an indoor space to keep you warm and dry. While I was there, I tried their house-made coffee cake, which is a worthwhile treat.

The donuts are consistently good; dare I say, the best in the city. The staff is warm and friendly, greeting you when you enter and again when you leave; with smiles even bigger than their donuts! The inside is small, but always clean and inviting. Pulling up those large garage-style windows would make the space feel even more open. Their cold brew is flavorful, though I'd love to see them use a lighter roast to cut some of the smokier notes--but that's more personal preference than criticism. It's great to see a local business thriving and taking good care of its employees. Keep it up!

We sat outside in a little patio area and met three young women who were also traveling. We talked to one of them for quite a while and she was very friendly and interesting. The vibe of the whole place is cool! It's in an industrial type of building so it's big and open. There's some artwork in there done by staff member and it's really good! About the restrooms - they weren't filthy or anything - just old and not great - but they worked! We would definitely go back if we were ever in the area again!

I've…read morebeen three times now on two trips to the ABQ and I have not had better coffee anywhere in the world. Milan, Paris, Rome, London, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Java, Auckland, or Portland, Oregon. Nowhere has done better than this. Y'all are a tough crowd. They use a wide variety of beans and roast them with a lot of nuance to bring out the strengths of each variety. They pull outstanding shots. They teach classes in appreciating coffee. They run food and clothing drives for people in need. They are LGBTQ+ welcoming. They sell weird gifts. They have a charming patio in a sweet neighborhood. They have books and games. Their bags of beans are just as good, and they stay fresh longer than any store bought beans I've ever purchased anywhere. (At home I roast my own because freshness is paramount.) Anyone who isn't giving this place five stars and a mountain of love is deeply sus. Roast on, my friends.
