I needed to get some work done while we were on our Southwest trip and found this great little coffee shop. Lots of students, young professionals, open space, lots of workspace, and all-around well designed coffeehouse. Restrooms are clean enough, Little on the large traffic side football stadium like, but they're clean and do the job. Had a great Matcha latte, as well as a chai tea latte. We went there two different days while we were on our trip. And the cashier was very helpful and super friendly wow taking my order and handling the other guest that were standing around the coffee making area. read more

This location is inside the Clyde Hotel, next to the gift shop. The folks working here are friendly and greet you with a smile, every time I went in. They know their product, and are happy to explain if you don't know something. I don't know what kind of coffee they use, but it is pretty great, so I drank a lot of it. I think their largest coffee size is 12 ounces, but for the purchase price, you can get a free refill. For me, 24 ounces of coffee per sitting is enough so I appreciated the free refill. The donuts are also pretty great and make a great complement to the coffee. I enjoyed the place so much that I even bought two of the cute coffee mugs, one for me and one for my friend who loves it. If you find yourself in the area and need a pick me up, Little Bear Coffee should be your destination. Enjoy! read more

Stopped in at The Clyde Hotel location for morning coffee today....There is a medical conference in town at the adjacent convention center, so the line was pretty long. My latte was served by a delightful barista, and was delicious! I enjoyed it the quite beautiful and cozy lobby of the Clyde Hotel. This was an excellent place to start the day! read more

I love their coffee and while I was caring for my mom there I got a bag to get new through my stay there. I do wish they had better savory pastries than donuts. Ugh. I wish that they had bigger cups too. Coava in PDX is similar and why there's only one cup size is frustrating. I like the cappuccino that you get here but they put it into a smaller cup than a latte has, which to me is cheating. Appreciate the good coffee though. read more

Service was fast and efficient. The iced oat milk latte was perfect. The espresso isn't bitter at all. The large patio outside is amazing when the weather is nice. The inside is minimalist as they advertise; it can feel a little cold. Everything was clean I just wish people would pick up after themselves and not leave their trash all over :( read more

Little Bear Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I'm a little embarassed that I haven't reviewed LB yet since I've practically lived here since I started visting last summer then moved to ABQ this summer. I love this place. I love the industrial converted garage vibe and the friendly, efficient staff. The coffee is very good and, while I usually opt for a drip becase I hate waiting, the espresso drinks are great too. They have a variety of good seating. The giant conrete tables on the east side of the room are decent for community sharing, but they don't have power outlets. The counter top area to the back is nice and has outlets but the seats aren't particularly comfortable. The outside seating is really nice too but it's been to hot for to sit there. I usually do my impression of a salmon swimming upstream and start at the big concrete counters and work my to a table by the wall where the good seats and power are. The energy and music here are great and I like the mixed crowd of students, artists and assorted(I'm in the assorted category). I really like the vibe here. I go to Humble Coffee often too because it's near my house but the energy there is mor subdued. read more

Little Bear Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love this place! The ambiance and the workers are fantastic! The only thing I wanted to mention is that I wanted to study in the room with all the plants, but I couldn't because the strong smell of the bathroom was so overwhelming that unfortunately, I had to leave and move to a new area because the smell was just so strong. Even inside the bathrooms they were very well kept and they were very clean. However, the stench was unbearable. It just smelled like sewage not like someone had recently used the bathroom. Maybe some type of candle or air freshener back there would help because I literally love this place so much !!! read more

Can see this as a place that you go to regularly if you live near here and can walk over. But it's not a place that would make me not go somewhere else to come here (wouldn't choose this place over others). The longer I sat here, the more I felt agitated. Then I walked to Ihatov afterward, and after I had sat there and enjoyed their food, I felt much calmer and at ease. Food: - Black coffee - didn't want a refill. Felt nauseated afterward. - Espresso - this is not good. No wonder they give you sparkling water with it- you're gonna need this. It's a tradeoff - you get the caffeinated feeling but at the cost of a disturbed taste. The single whatever is probably much better than the blend - $6.50 for a small breakfast burrito is pretty reasonable - The temperature was cold because of the cold air being blasted Ambiance: - It's a large space, and there are private areas, meaning you can talk at a normal volume without being overheard - Different types of seating areas: bench, stools at the countertop so you can do work, outside seating - Artwork on the walls is unique - Feels like an industrial building Service: - prompt - not as friendly and warm as at Castle Coffee read more

Albuquerque is not a place I generally enjoy visiting. All the shops close early, and so do most restaurants and cafes. There isn't much to do and there's virtually no culture to speak of. That being said, this otherwise sleepy city has a few gems, and Little Bear Coffee is one of them. We tried it after reading all the good reviews and I'm happy to report that: - The reviews are right - They serve very good espresso late into the evening - The staff is courteous and diverse - The interior and ambiance are mellow and minimalist That's just my type of place. We didn't stay long but the half hour we spent there was nice enough to have me write a review. If I ever drive again through the city, I will be back, for sure! read more

This place is no longer what it used to be. Specifically, there's an employee named Ruah who is incredibly disrespectful and has used profanity on multiple occasions towards customers. Many others within the community have shared similar sentiments about this particular employee and her negative, heavy, and disrespectful attitude. It's absolutely ridiculous at this point. Little Bear is losing its rapport in the community and it's unfortunate one person is a big reason for it's decline. read more

Loved the vibe at this place including the ample seating available for small and large groups along with the calm ambience inside. In terms of food, I tried the burrito which was alright.. I loved their coffee selection and would definitely recommend the Mocha read more

It's probably one of the better cafes in Albuquerque considering it has the hipster cafe vibe, good amount of seats, serve the usual cafe and tea option with some pastries. Ambience is cold - lots of gray cement and gray bricks. The location near Route 66 and the university only have street parking and it is very hard to find parking. The other location have some parking but it's quite busy as well. This location also sells merchandise. read more

Cute little converted car repair place that now is a coffee shop with limited wine and beer. There is Wi-Fi, so lots of UNM students gravitate here to enjoy a drink and do their class work. They do have some sweet pastries, but get sold out with hungry students that want a nibble. I like their real chocolaty hot chocolate, but wish they had whipped cream. There are several areas and little nooks to find quiet space. Just a fun place to hang out. read more

Little Bear Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Lots of good things about this coffee place. Quite a lot of seating inside and out. Good location on Central WITH a parking lot. I ordered a Latte with oat milk ($4.50 + 1.00) and a chocolate frosted donut (4.50). The coffee was on the small size. I didn't ask, but from the menu, it seemed like there was only one size. For my taste, it wasn't as smooth as I like, but I'm sure it's perfect for others. The donut was good and on the larger size. All in all, a fairly limited menu but they did have breakfast burritos and all the most popular things you'll want in coffee shops such as mocha and matcha. Seemed like a good place to spend some time. Wish Yelp allowed 1/2 stars because it's better than a 3, but couldn't quite give it a 4. Still, it's a likely spot that will make the rotation of independent coffee places I go to. read more

Good coffee, great service. Cute little coffee shop tucked into the side of a small shop. Quick service, with mellow music playing in the background. The place has sort of a college student studying vibe, which makes it laid back and not overly loud. Enjoyed the outside seating area (there is also inside seating). read more

While trying to kill some time in Albuquerque, I stopped into this coffee shop with my boyfriend and his mom. I ordered my usual iced chai and it hit the spot on a hot day. There wasn't a ton of seating but we eventually found a spot after some people left. It has a cool industrial vibe. read more

I've been to this Little Bear on several occasions. Enough to be only 3 away on my stamp card to a free drink! So don't forget to start one of those on your visit if you haven't already. The space is really easy to like. I love the industrial look with all the concrete tables and mural in front room space. It's clean with lots of table space so bring a book, laptop, sudoku, or a just a friend to chat a bit and catch up over a nice cup of coffee. The staff are always so friendly and make me feel welcomed every time I stop by. At the moment it is take out only and they do have their take out window open daily so stop by for a comforting little bear latte and take home a pastry to treat yourself later as well. read more

I got an oat-milk latte here for a school meeting with some advisors. The space is very cool, and there are quite a bit of spaces to sit. The latte was beautiful and tasty.

I just love seeing this coffee shop grow. If doscovered little bear from their shop in Pennsylvania (NE). I love the coffee here and the baristas are always friendly and approachable. This particular shop has lots of room to enjoy. I saw lots of people just hanging out and some people working o their lap tops. There is also outdoor sheeting available when it's warm. Garage type door which looks great for warmer days. They sell coffee beans and coffee accessories/ tools and LB merch which is also great if your looking for gifts for coffee lovers.

Little Bear Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I really like little bear on central in Nob Hill. It has a nice outdoor patio, a food truck near by for Mexican food and it turns into a wine bar in the evenings. The coffee is fairly priced and pretty good. It's often crowded... which brings me to my main topic... the SLOWEST BARISTAS EVER... I have been a barista so I know what is involved in the job.... Other than that... it's pretty sweet read more

Really enjoyed my visit here. had the LB Latte. It was a great simple solid latte. Espresso flavors were present, drink was not overly milky, and the texture in milk was on point. Also the syrup amount was a accurate, not to sweet and not overly sweet. Need to go back and check out some of the specialty drinks. If you visit, you won't be disappointed. read more

I came here for a glass of wine so didn't try the coffee. The place has an open, fresh, artistic vibe. Staff were friendly and prompt. There is ample seating and in all kinds of configurations so you can easily find a spot that suits you. There were a mix of people there on a Saturday (early evening)--some chatting, some working on laptops, some singles, some couples. It is so spacious that we could easily catch up without overhearing everyone else. If you're looking for food your options are limited to breakfast burritos and desserts. The baked good we tried was delicious! I'm really glad I checked it out. read more
