    Look at all that yumminess
    Liza M.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Baklava cheesecake and a crème brûlée latte

    A busy place to be lots of options like cheesecake, baklava, and many sorts of Dubi pastries to get! They have out door and inside seating. Hey girl.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Crème's rule latte and strawberry matcha,   Very yummy!
    Carlos O.

    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!

    Strawberry Matcha, Nutella Matcha & Biscoff Matcha  Amazing
    Lorelei P.

    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.

    Dubai croissant and salted pumpkin pie latte
    Marie S.

    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

    Baklava latte
    Whitnie O.

    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!

    Oh my gosh
    Ronni J.

    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!

    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.

This place definitely falls into the first category. This morning I went with the single origin Guatemala drip, and it was exactly what a solid cup of coffee should be. Smooth, rich, and balanced with a nice chocolate note that hangs around just long enough to make you take another sip. No bitterness. No burnt taste. Just a clean, well-roasted cup that says someone here actually cares about the beans. The shop itself has a personality, which I always appreciate. It's decorated with fishing lures, fish artwork, and sculptures scattered around the place. Naturally this leads to the obvious conclusion: the owner is either an avid fisherman... or coffee roasting is just the side hustle between trout expeditions. Either way, the theme works. The space feels relaxed, creative, and comfortable. The kind of place where you can sit with a cup and not feel rushed out the door. And speaking of doors, while I was there there was a steady flow of customers coming in and out. That's usually the universal coffee signal for yep, this place is doing something right. Bottom line: Great coffee, cool atmosphere, and a shop with enough character to keep things interesting. I'll definitely be back for another cup of that Guatemala.

There is ample seating both inside and outside, had I not had my toddler with me I would have loved to sit out front but it is right by the road so a no go with a rambunctious little boy... There is additional outside seating to the side and farther from the road too. I look forward to my next trip.

Always love supporting small, local spots that have that kind of story behind them. I tried their Aztec Latte, one of their signature drinks made with espresso, sweetened condensed milk, and cinnamon. I was a little unsure at first since I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, but it ended up being super mild and creamy. We also got the Red Chili Mocha, which has espresso, milk, red chili, and chocolate. I expected more of a kick from the chili, but it was actually on the milder side as well. Since it was a little chilly in Albuquerque, we went for hot lattes, which definitely hit the spot. We split a couple of toasts too. The avocado toast came with hummus, avocado, and a drizzle of sriracha. I liked that the hummus was the base instead of just plain avocado. I think it added a nice creamy layer that worked perfectly with the sourdough and spice. The Caprese toast was classic: pesto, mozzarella, balsamic, and tomatoes. Also a solid choice. The vibe inside was really chill. People were working on laptops, chatting quietly, low music in the background. The walls had artwork from a local artist, which was a nice touch. The baristas were very friendly. Service was on point.
