I'm definitely a bit of a coffee snob, so the fact that I kept coming back says a lot. The staff was always friendly and pleasant, and I even bought a bag of beans to take home. Can't wait to try them!

This is an absolute must stop if you're in Albuquerque, New Mexico and you love coffee and…read morespecialty teas and treats. I always make it a point to stop here at least once or twice while I'm in town because it's one of the best spots for your morning caffeinated. It has a unique welcoming atmosphere themed towards fly fishing enthusiast. A beautiful set up with the roaster right at the front and center in a nice outdoor patio right off of Rio Grande Blvd. There's sample beans for display ranging from Costa Rica to Guatemala to Kenya to Papua New Guinea and beyond. Their pastries come from local Le Chantilly Fine Pastries. The raspberry tart was absolutely delectable. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, as well as knowledgeable about all the various products and procedures for roasting. Java lovers don't miss this spot!

First of all, Cup of Cozy? That's either the name of a coffee shop or the title of a Hallmark movie…read morewhere a stressed-out city executive learns the true meaning of Christmas. Either way, I'm in. The name sets some pretty high expectations. "Cozy" isn't just a word--it's a promise. It's soft blankets, rainy afternoons, books you swear you'll finish someday, and coffee cups that require two hands. Fortunately, Cup of Cozy understood the assignment. Walking inside felt like stepping into a space that was intentionally cared for. Everything was remarkably clean, tastefully decorated, and arranged in a way that made me want to stay longer than I planned. There were plenty of tables and seating, and a small music stage tucked into the back that gave the whole place the feeling of a community gathering spot rather than just another coffee counter. You can easily imagine live music, conversations, and regulars settling into their favorite corners. The shop is owned by a friendly couple, and their warmth seems to be baked right into the atmosphere. Some places work hard to feel welcoming; this one simply is. Drink-wise, the lavender latte arrived with a little bit of an attitude. It wasn't one of those timid lattes that politely whispers "coffee" from across the room. This one showed up, introduced itself firmly, and then followed through with a surprisingly smooth lavender finish. Strong? Absolutely. Tasty? Also absolutely. The Starry Island Italian soda was the perfect counterbalance. One sip and suddenly my brain was nowhere near New Mexico. It was somewhere with palm trees, warm ocean breezes, and a beach chair that costs more than it should. Fruity, tropical, and incredibly refreshing, it tasted like the beverage equivalent of a mini vacation. If the lavender latte was the serious adult in the room, the Starry Island was already barefoot in the sand, ordering another round of sunshine. And because life is unpredictable, I also left with a 5-pound bag of ice. Not every coffee shop can satisfy your caffeine needs and prepare you for a backyard barbecue in the same transaction. Cup of Cozy delivered exactly what its name promises: good drinks, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger. In a world full of coffee shops trying to become destinations, this one succeeds by simply being comfortable, welcoming, and authentic. Sometimes that's all it takes to make an ordinary stop feel like the best part of your day.

Decent view of the Sandias with a Jack-in-the-Box the only obstruction. Bartender was attentive and took care of us, but it wasn't that busy. Plenty of parking, looks dog friendly, was relatively clean. Background music was a hip-hop mix with a lot of noticeable foul language (not that it bothers me, just was abundant). Interesting that they distill their own vodka, gin, & bourbon. Might have to go back with a designated driver and try some. Tried their Jest-a-Lager & Low-Rider lagers, with both getting more bitter towards the bottom of the pint. Tasted the grapefruit lager & the unfiltered pilsner, with the latter being the smoothest finish of everything I had. I did not sample the ales or rum cask porter, which are more inline with what I prefer because of my drive and empty stomach. My friend had the hazy, West Coast, New England & red rye IPAs (boo, don't get the fascination) and took home a 4-pack of their Off the Rails red rye IPA, his favorite of the bunch. They sell cans of most of their beers (sorry, not the 12% rum cask porter) and their hootch. They do fill growlers, but don't have any to fill/sell... too old school I guess. For Yelpers, their Yelp info isn't up to date with the hours of operation off in 2 places and the menu outdated. Their website is up to date.
