Ok, I need to get out more. The last time I visited La Luz at at their Balloon Fiesta booth. The last time I visited their brick and rotary location was when it was a mobile operation. Wow, how things have changed! When you visit La Luz, be sure you walk in through the front door, it is amazing. IYKYK. The front door sets the stage for coffee and ambiance. Again IYKYK. Interior is great and was filled with a lot of folks catching up on their computers, which is cool. The patio is really what sets this apart from other true New Mexico coffee hot spots. Spacious, good shade structures and spaced well. This will definitely be on my rotation for local coffee shops. read more

What a great local gem in the north valley. I grew up in the north valley and this has been so many things. Finally the North Valley has a great local coffee house. I was shocked when I walked in by how big it was inside. Tons of tables which by the way were filled up. Lots of happy customers drinking latte's, coffee and teas. Eating a burrito or a pastry. And if you want to bear the cooler temps, there's lots of seats outside too. Loved the atmosphere, the specials, the homemade syrups and the happy smiles behind the counter making coffee and drinks for patrons. Stop by, find a seat and enjoy! read more

I come here way too often. Haha. I love reading outside and with all the plants on the couch. I L Love the risen area with a the plug options. The music Playlist here is always the best. & I love all the people that work here. I've also attended a few local events here. The plants here make everything that much better, the entire shop is set up well. Sometimes it can be extremely packed but that's because it's really good. One of my favorite things to snack on with my coffee when I'm here is the cifge cake or the prickly pear donut. YUM! read more

Best coffee in town! Love the place and every single item on their menu. Costumer service is always so good!

I've been on a quest for a good Oat Milk Latte here and finally, FINALLY found one worthy of my "guy from Seattle" desire for a good one. Just for that alone I love this place. But add their delicious fresh squeezed lemonade and the excellent chill vibe and friendly baristas and I'm in. It has that concrete industrial look, but a large variety of good, comfortable seating, a few quiet nooks and a great patio. In general I've been finding people a thousand times more friendly in ABQ than Seattle(research the Seattle Freeze), but the customers here are really friendly and not afraid to say hi or smile as you walk by. Great place! read more

OMG I finally got to try this spot! I got a maple donut, rosemary and olive oil bagel with cream cheese, and a hot La Luz latte (vanilla and rosemary). The latte and bagel were incredible! Next time I would skip the donut (even though it was my kids who requested it). Plenty of parking and tons of space to sit inside. I like that there was a couch, super cozy. All of the houseplants inside were beautiful too. Friendly staff too. read more

I have been wanting to check out this place forever and so their new space was the perfect excuse to stop by. It's really cute in an area that I don't normally go to. They have some good options for standard coffee and tea. I ordered the la Luz latte and I really liked it. It was basically a vanilla Matcha, but the coffee was good. It did look like they had some pastry options, but at 10 AM on a Friday they were pretty much sold out. They do have some toast and other food options though. Staff was fast and friendly. They gave us a number and came out to us with our drinks. I know it's recently opened and pretty popular so they were very packed and seating was limited. Parking was a little tough, but not terrible. read more

I popped into La Luz at the end of a busy day for a little pick-me-up. They opened their new brick and mortar location recently, and I enjoyed the peaceful building and the friendly staff. I tried an excellent iced Americano and a very tasty pan au chocolate and enjoyed taking a little time to unwind. Definitely taking my husband here on a weekend! read more

La Luz is a delicious coffee shop! Beautiful drinks, favorites include the Norte, matcha lattes, cortados, and their seasonal birthday cake latte for their 1 yr for a sweeter drink. Sunday bagels available and delicious burritos of in need of a snack. Great place to get work done or meet friends in the outdoor events. Kind staff, welcoming environment. One of our favorite spots in town. They also host several fun community events! read more

First less-than-stellar experience here I don't know if the coffee beans were from the bottom of the barrel, or it was a bad batch, or what, but the LA Luz blend was quite bitter today.. There was a shortage of plates, and thigs felt generally disorganized. I'm usually fine with paying higher than average prices ,because I've always had a higher than average experience before today. Hopefully, today was an exception, rather than the new rule. read more

Coffee is good or maybe saying it's not bad suites better. Will I return? Maybe if I'm in the area but I don't see myself saying "let's go to la luz." The deciding factors for me were it's pricey and the wait time was way too long for 2 cups of coffee. It Took almost 20 minutes for a Cold brew and vanilla latte. read more

Excellent coffee with a chill ambience! Service was incredible and I will definitely be going back

The menu is not clear. I'd prefer not to have to ask what each specialty drink has in it. It was extremely busy which I thought was a good sign but unless you are coming here to do your work it is not a good place for coffee. read more

I love all the community events they put on here. They have nice options for pastries but their decaf coffee was not good. The flavor was kind of sour and very diluted. I would come here for the vibe and the pastries but not for the coffee. They have teas too which I have not tried perhaps those are good. Service has not been particularly friendly any of the 3 times I have gone. read more

Great coffee choices, awesome environment the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable in their craft, their food choices are all so amazing we have had their bakery items bagels and burritos and have yet to be disappointed. read more

Place was kinda meh. Nice looking but coffee was nothing exceptional and vibe was not appealing.

I was only in Albuquerque for a couple days. Came here every morning. Great coffee spot. Good coffee, pastries/baked goods. Doesn't look like they'd serve breakfast burritos but they do. It was always packed but always a place to sit comfortably and talk or read or post up and work. The huge patio looks like it hosts some excellent hangouts in warmer weather. read more

I went here recently and while I was waiting for my coffee, I notice the baristas move over to the cash register and started waiting on people. I then see her pulling a bunch of dollar bills and coins out of register to give someone change. She then went back to making coffee, touching cups and lids without washing her hands. Money is one of the filthiest things you can touch. Pretty sure that would La Lux a yellow or red review by inspectors. I wiped down my coffee cup and lid but I still had a hard time enjoying it. I should have declined it. read more

WOW! Delicious coffee!! As an out of towner I was grateful to find a great gourmet cup of coffee early in the morning. They sell a variety of their whole beans to take home. Try the Kenya - bold and delicious! Great atmosphere. Great breakfast treats too! read more

There's a laundry list of traits I inherited from my father that I'm not thrilled about, and one in particular has emerged over the last few years: unnecessary vocal outbursts, generally the kind that bemoan aches and pains. The other day my kid was sincerely concerned about my attempt to change clothes. I've been told that, following workouts, I spend my time in the shower howling at Jesus. Most of the time I'm totally unaware that I'm uttering these noises. People around me simply ask, yo, what hurts, Howie? These incantations aren't limited to pain, though. As the years have ticked by I've found that I also get vocal when I sink my teeth into anything that takes euphoria to another dimension. I write all of this, dear reader, because I straight up moaned aloud when I sank my teeth into two house made donuts from La Luz Coffee. The cinnamon cake was incredible, and that buttery-glazed monster, wow. I'm not blowing this out of proportion, these donuts put calories on my waist and joy in my day. This is such a cool, Covid-perfect coffee and treat stand, also featuring goodies from Rise + Roast and roasts from Slow Burn. Thanks for setting up shop in the north valley, friends. read more

Great service, great desserts, great coffee, great atmosphere, the place is spotless open and well-designed!

Dang this was a great idea. Full service drive through coffee bar with amazing food. We had their drip coffee and a lavender latte. If you like lavender, this latter is for you. Not too sweet with great espresso flavor. Try the breakfast burrito, I chose the steak with green and it filled me up past lunch (just don't expect one on the weekend). Overall, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the drinks came out quickly. This will be our go-to breakfast stop on this side of town! read more
