This is a fancy little coffee shop. They make their own syrups and know their drinks well. We all made custom orders and the girls were very helpful and they nailed all the drinks. My iced London fog was awesome, I've never even thought to order that until I saw it was a popular drink there. They even made it unsweetened for me which was pretty awesome. So I guess it was an iced tea with oat milk haha. Either way it was delicious. read more

Great staff. Great looking space, but a quiet place to work... it is not. Went there yesterday to work on a project for a couple of hours. The music was so loud that it wouldn't matter if I used noise canceling headphones. Forget about a conference call. It's just not happening. Also, the acoustics of the room are such that every voice echoes, creating so much sound that I just had to get the hell out of there. It wasn't just me, either. The lady next to me moved outside. Again, the staff were over the top amazing. Hope they can make some adjustments because it's ideally located for me. read more

We got here right after they opened at 7am. We were greeted immediately. We got two mochas and two green chile burritos. Both were delicious. The employees are super friendly and the vibe is very laid back. Nice place to catch up with a friend. read more

Solid spot for q cup of Joe! Has a "chain feel" to it and not the local comfy spot to hang out but they made a great iced americano! Nice and smooth like I wanted and it was refreshing on this warm 86 degree day! Staff was friendly and efficient. My reason for not giving 5 stars was that I was not impressed with the pastry selection and seating was not that comfortable or cozy to hang out in. read more

Cute coffee shop with lots of seating! I had an excellent London Fog, and I'll be back for more!

What do you do when you need caffeine STAT and you're in Albuquerque? You go for Yelp to help and find the cutest cafe in town. Heatwave Coffee is properly named, has everything you need for your coffee fix, and feels like a small town coffee shop you should support out in the desert. I loved the seating, the plants, and of course the coffee options. They have specials and the usual. I got their Vanilla Bean Iced Latte and the Iced Mocha. They have milk alternatives if you need, free parking, and there's a cat cafe right around the corner. What more could you want? Oh great quality coffee? Well duh. Yeah you won't be disappointed. read more

Super cute coffee shop with a chill vibe. I had the strawberry match which looked super cool and tasted great! The matcha wasn't sweetened which I liked, the strawberry jam in it was great but I wish there was a bit more. I ended up getting oat milk instead of whole (for my tummy) . The girl who took my order was super nice! My only complaint was with the drink was $8.88 out the door with a dollar tip which is hard to justify especially with the drink having a shit ton of ice in it. I'll def go back to study but I think I'll stick to coffee which is a little more price conscious read more

Heatwave Coffee is hands down my daily café and absolute favorite spot. The coffee is always perfectly dialed, and the latte art is consistently beautiful. You can tell they truly care about quality and craft. The homemade pastries are incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with intention. Their house-made syrups take every drink to the next level and make even a simple latte feel special. The space itself is efficient and thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to relax or get some work done without feeling cramped. On top of all that, the staff is super welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, which makes every visit feel like home. If you're looking for a café that nails coffee, food, atmosphere, and service--this is it. read more

Pros: I like the product! Reasonable affordable for a date with a bite to eat. They're genius for their little burrito additions. Also, they got me to like matcha! I like my stuff sweeter for the Strawberry matcha was AWESOME! Cons: Music is WAY TO LOUD, Service is on the slower side, but nothing to the extent of not returning. I think I'll just get it to go next time. Would recommend you try this place! read more

Coffee boutique places have popped up like breweries in New Mexico so of course let's give local a try. The apple cider was so good! Made for my granddaughter and the chair equally as good. Service with a smile and I loved the simplicity of the place. Give it a try. They tend to be a bit expensive but that's okay for the once in a while treat! read more

I ordered the tasty seasonal cowboy cold brew. Good flavor, a little pricey. The location offers decent seating inside with a couple tables outside if you want to sit in and enjoy your coffee or work from here. If you're not familiar with the area you might need to use maps to guide you to parking lot as you can't enter right off Paseo Del Norte. read more

Heatwave Coffee is one of my favorite spots. I usually get a cookie and the vanilla bean latte, which are always great, but I also love trying their seasonal items whenever they come out. They're always creative and interesting without being too much or having weird overpowering flavors. Everything feels really well balanced and somehow perfect for the new mexico weather, whether it's something refreshing on a hot day or cozy on a cool winter day. And thank you to all the employees who are always so sweet just like their​ treats! read more

Albuquerque has a pretty great coffee scene, but the NE Heights neighborhood has been sadly lacking in spots - until now. This coffee shop is adorable, comfy, quick and delicious. Highly recommend trying their Vanilla Bourbon Latte both iced and hot. A great place to meet up, take your laptop to get some work done - there's plenty of seating and even some outdoor tables. The barista staff is super friendly and helpful if you don't know what to try. If you enjoy Bristol Donuts, you'll be happy to find them here at the counter as well as a small burrito selection. Definitely recommend checking this spot out! read more

Made a quick stop at Heatwave for a latte and burrito before heading to another appointment. Staff was helpful and quick to get my order ready. That's all I'm ever looking for at a cafe stop - quick and kind service. read more

What an amazing coffee shop! The baristas are always smiling and very sweet. There is plenty of parking which is a major plus! Their menu is straight forward and has an option for all people both coffee and non-coffee drinkers. Their seasonal options are always well designed and worth the try. Their merch and items for sell is a great start for home baristas and matcha lovers. I definitely recommend making a stop and becoming a regular here read more

This is one of my top stops when visiting Albuquerque! So delicious and so many dairy free options! Customer service is 10/10. Please come visit! read more

Such a cute little coffeeshop! This area of town has been needing some good local coffee finds, and Heatwave fills that perfectly.

Cute coffee shop with nice interior decor. They use little bear coffee so if you're looking for it outside of their two locations, you'll find both drinks and beans for purchase here. Their latte is consistent with what you'll get at LB which is a compliment. Prices on the drinks are reasonable and the folks behind the counter were very friendly. protip: if you're navigating from apple maps it will direct you to a different location. Heatwave is located in a strip mall right beside starry moon, so it might be easier to navigate to starry moon to get here! read more

Tepid, overpriced mocha. It was also deafeningly loud, but they turned the music up even louder, and then the barista was banging out coffee ground against, I guess, a snare drum. It seems popular, but it's not for me! read more

Great new coffee shop that we keep coming back to. The baristas are kind, and the ambiance is great. The matcha is the best I've found in ABQ. They whisk it fresh in front of you. Would especially recommend the summer special coconut cream matcha. read more

I decided to try a matcha latte after seeing it promoted on Instagram and TikTok. The presentation of the location and drink were impressive so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, the drink didn't meet them, so I thought I'd sample their coffee from a friend instead, but it turned out to be completely watered down. read more

100% recommend the seasonal coconut cream matcha latte. The aesthetic was great for studying or a day date. Service could have been better/more welcoming. read more

OH MY GOSH!! This is truly the best coffee shop I've been to in ABQ. My favorite drink so far is the coconut creamy matcha, which is one of the seasonal items they're serving up for the summer. I've also ALREADY had their mocha and iced latte both of which are to die for! They're a local family owned business and I am so happy to support them everyday of the week. All of the baristas are super friendly and willing to make suggestions if you don't know what you would like. Not to mention the location is easy to access and the vibes are immaculate. Please everyone go visit them ASAP! PS: try the naked waffle with your next order, they're so cool and delicious. read more

Great little coffee spot. We needed something like this in the NE Heights. This will probably become my go to coffee shop from now on.
