Matcha was ok, asked for a pastry recommendation and the worker said they don't eat them

Love love love drop cafe! It's definitely my favorite in town. I usually grab a savory wrap and a latte to pair with it. I'd also recommend the strawberry refreshers and the bee bites! read more

Don't be discouraged by the line to get in...it's worth the wait!! Also, the staff are super nice and efficient! The food and drinks were AMAZING! So delicious. The inside is deceiving space-wise; there's More than enough space to not feel Crowded and is quite comfortable. I recommend the banana bread matcha and the Dubai chocolate croissant!!! My 6 year old nephew is super picky and he LOVED the bee bites. They're also a must-try. read more

Wow! I was highly impressed with their croissants. Berry and Dubai. They were a little expensive but worth every bite. Every single table was full with people enjoying matcha and lattes and what I later learned was Turkish coffee. You'll see in my video we had no idea how to drink it but it was so pretty and delicious. I had the crème brûlée latte with a toasted marshmallow. It never slowed down, there was a line out the door the whole time I was there. The decor was cool, beautiful lights everywhere on the ceiling. I wish it was bigger in there. But if you're patient, you'll get a seat. read more

I came here with a friend and it was super busy! The staff were super friendly and I love the ambience inside. We got three pastries and two drinks which were delicious. It was a bit pricier than we expected but definitely worth trying! read more

I think maybe I was cranky about the wait when I rated this 4 stars because it has become my new go to on the west side and is *definitely * 5 stars. The pistachio latte is my favorite in town- especially when I get a little piece of pistachio. Yum! Ive been trying the croissants as well recently. Amazing and delicious! Service is always kind and quick. It is a bit expensive though. Usually with a latte, croissant, and a tip it sits about $20. Everything tastes high quality though so I guess you get what you pay for! read more

Coffee and pastries were awesome. Come try this coffee cafe service was great very nice staff

I love the space and atmosphere, especially the outdoor seating now for the summer. The service is pretty good, they are always super busy. The food and desserts are very good but are on the pricey side. Definitely a fun sweet treat. I have come three times now one for to-go and twice sit down. The most recent time was ok, the lates we ordered were cold and the ice coffee I got was too sweet and watered down. However the other experiences were good. Still happy to support my Arab community, would recommend to try. read more

Drop Cafe - Dubai, chocolate croissant, and zaatar pastry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The semolina cake made with fenugreek is unique to New Mexico, tastes amazing, and is actually quite healthful!

Very different and interesting cafe experience at Drop Cafe! They are still new in town so still working on some kinks in their operations. So, understandably, the wait can be on a longer side. That said, they had very unique offerrings and some great pastries for everyone to try. There were somewhat limited seatings, especially if you stop by during their busy time (seem to be almost all days these days when they just opened and had gotten a much deserved visibility from the community!). Check out this new cafe! It's a different place that you can enjoy a cup of interesting drink + a beautiful piece of pastry! read more

I dream of rain, I dream of gardens in the desert sand, I wake in vain, I dream of love as time runs through my hand, I dream of fire, These dreams that tie two hearts that will never die, We settled in at "Drop Cafe" and were greeted w. smiles this mid morning (for some crazy reason I was hoping to find Patrons also doing push-ups, Not the case..:). Sitting comfortably inside their Cafe.. We each drank delishSmoooth mugs of "Pistachio Latte". Each sip was so nicely tasty. We jealously shared this magic moment w. A pistachio covered "Dubai chocolate Brownie" perfectly not too sweet..:) When down from lands above, we will most certainly re-Drop in..:) Sweet desert rose.. This memory of hidden hearts and souls, This desert flower.. This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love.. Best, Avram Sting Jr. read more

Drop Cafe - My Desert Rose - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Visited here for the first time. I'd been seeing this place on social media and wanted to give it a try. Took my family in on an afternoon. We were all determined to try the Dubai croissant and brownie. I'm definitely a fan of Dubai chocolate. Located in a mini shopping mall with plenty of parking around. The storefront looks inviting and it surely was. There was a line when we arrived, but thankfully we were able to get a seat in the cafe. So that we can enjoy ourselves. They even offer outdoor seating with heaters. So many different drink items to choose from. And their pastries looked so amazing. We opted for both the Dubai croissant and brownie. We also got the Strawberry, Nutella and the Biscoff Matcha. They were so good! The Dubai croissant had so many strawberries in it. And that Dubai brownie was a tasty treat. This cafe had such a vibe, the staff was very friendly. The food was pretty good and the drinks were delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more items from their menu. This place is definitely a must try! You will not be dissapointed. read more

Yum! I've been wanting to come here after seeing all the posts in the foodie group about it (and I'm also a big Dubai chocolate fan). I was worried it was going to be busy this morning (since it was a Saturday morning) and that they're still in their soft opening phase. They still had plenty of Dubai croissants and for $10 for those, it was a large tasty croissant. Staff was friendly/helpful and the owner stopped by every table to make sure customers were taken care of. The decor inside is pretty and a lot of people sat outside since it's small on the inside. They have a wide selection of treats and coffee, matcha, and mojitos. My friend got the pistachio latter, which was good but I was happy with my salted pumpkin pie latte. By 11 am, the line was practically out the door. Can't wait to go back! 2025 #84 read more

Drop Cafe - Dubai croissant and salted pumpkin pie latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The atmosphere of this coffee shop is great. Love the traditional Persian/Yemeni touches in the space. The price was pretty decent, and the food and drinks were all great! We especially loved the Adeni, and not pictured was the Karak latte. The date rings were exceptional, not too sweet and a unique blend of sweet and slightly savory. Very filling as well. Our only recommendation would be to include some descriptions of the traditional drinks, as we had to ask a number of questions about what each one was. Printed menus (even just a couple as posters) would help too, as the menu on the screen changes really fast. Service was fast, and the group of teens working had a happy, energetic demeanor. Really liked it! read more

We went Christmas Eve, they were busy but still feel like we didn't wait that long for our drinks. Service was friendly and very helpful with menu suggestions and advice. They have both indoor and outdoor seating! They had heat lamps outside too so it was very pleasant to be outside and our toddler could run around. My husband got the Nutella Matcha iced and Dubai croissant. I got the baklava latte iced and the Bee bites. I tried a sip of the Nutella matcha it was good and the Dubai croissant was worth all the hype I stole a few bites. My baklava latte was perfectly balanced not too sweet, just right! The Bee bites were good, not sure I loved it though I'd like to dry something else next time. Overall highly recommend! read more

I just moved to ABQ & have been feeling homesick trying to find some food that reminds me of home. Randomly stopped by & picked up a savory pastry. It's probably the most delicious thing I ate in a few months . There were a lot of customers & a great ambiance. The workers were very kind too. Happy to stop by, will definitely be coming back read more

I'd say it's pretty darn good, definitely a treat worth trying if you've never been here, tried a few different desserts and drinks. All were super delicious and fresh! read more

I wish I could try every item they offer, especially their pastries! Oh my gosh. I got a biscoff latte with oat milk and it was delicious. The bee bread was also so so good! Everyone there was so nice and helpful. It was a little on the louder side in there so I'd say bring headphones if you're planning to work. It was, however, very clean. Two bathrooms available. They also had a few outdoor tables. I'd go back if I'm in town! read more

Drop Cafe - Baklava cheesecake and a crème brûlée latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The coffee here can be good, after trying several times trying to find the right order I believe it's inconsistent. The service here is not the best, smiles and welcomes go a very long way. The employees were more focused on talking amongst themselves. The ambiance has potential, I really love the patio however, the explicit rap music blasting seems to be inappropriate for the type of atmosphere. I found it hard to focus on my conversation and previously my studying. read more

I thought I would be able to work here but it's really small inside and still super popular and crowded. The line was really long but worth the wait for the coffee and food. There's limited seating indoors but they have an outdoor dining area with tables and outdoor chairs with cushions and side tables. 5/5 for the bee bites and Dubai croissant. 5/5 for the mofowar. I added creamer and sugar to my liking which is available by the pick up area. The date pastry was too thick and sweet for our liking. I love how I had the opportunity to try Yemeni coffee and pastries. My favorite was the mofowar. read more

Great coffee and matcha! They have some really delicious pastries especially their strawberry Dubai chocolate croissant! I ordered the strawberry matcha, my sister ordered the banana bread match and I'm not sure what the other drink was but all three drinks were yummy! Lines can be long but it's because they're getting popular so it's a definite must try if you haven't! read more

Drop Cafe is a trendy, family owned business. They have specialized pastries and drinks from the middle east. When we went they were steadily busy. Their staff was very friendly and attentive. The coffee was smooth, earthy and velvety. We tried the bee bites and almond Danish. Both were great. Also tried the Dubai latte (textured drink) and the baklava latte. read more

If you don't remember the old Rebel Donut location, you'd never remember it walking into this fully transformed space. This cafe feels like the kind of local perfection you find in a big city and go out of your way to get to, because it's that good. Despite a line out the door, the service was quick, so friendly, and exceptionally attentive. And not a single thing we ordered was anything less than incredible from the taste and texture to the presentation. Add this spot to your list ASAP - and don't let a line turn you away, it's worth the wait! read more

Went during their soft opening Beautiful place. Good location with easy parking Ordered a Pistachio latte and a Baklava latte Took awhile Pastries looked very good. But the lattes were a let-down. No coffee flavor No pistachio or baklava flavor, just meh Gonna have to kickstart those lattes to survive I'm afraid read more

This place is absolutely to die for. I can't stop coming here! The service is excellent. Family owned and they are always busy. I like going on any day when they first open. I never sit inside tho. Outside is always great. I've also tried a Carmel Macchiato and a banana nut muffin, but they have SOOOO many drink options and treats. I want to try everything. Sometimes you have to wait in line a bit, but I haven't really ever waited too long for my drink. So glad there's finally a shop in this area! read more

The coffee was great, I tried the baklava coffee and it came with a slice of baklava. I got the Dubai croissant with strawberries, Bee Bites, and the last one was a savory pastry with ground beef. Service was great and you can tell it is family run. The food was great and I can't wait to try some other items. read more

Great service, food and coffee. Beautiful coffee house with indoor and outdoor seating. The Turkish coffee was excellent!

Bakery food is yummy! Service is amazing and the spot is cozy! I love meeting with my friends here!!!

I'm new to Albuquerque and love iced coffee. I discovered Drop Cafe going to the bank near by. First off, the atmosphere is amazing. The people are wonderful. I'm used to getting an iced shaken espresso, so I asked the barista Macy to surprise me. He made a Golden Shaken espresso for me, and it was absolutely fantastic. The other people that work there are very lovely. S/O to Baraceda (amazing), Maytha, and Renee (also amazing), and Bella! All of whom were incredibly nice and very helpful. Drop Cafe is top tier coffee and food. I won't lie, prices are slightly on the high end--however they are undoubtedly worth it. You get what you pay for, and Drop is hands down one of the best coffee places I've visited in ABQ. Parking is abundant, WiFi is available, they even put a TV outside playing the FIFA World Cup. Also, word to the wise they tend to get pretty long lines. So if you're in a hurry, or just don't want to wait in line, use the self order kiosk they have in the shop. Renee suggested it to me for the future, and I'm paying that forward to you reading this. read more
