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.

I love love love the atmosphere and vibes here but the food has taken a serious downhill turn over…read morethe last few years. As someone else mentioned, the veggies in the roasted veggie taco are those nasty large-cut premixed veggies that come in a frozen bag. (Kind of a bizarre choice for a restaurant that's literally on a farm.) My breakfast taco was bland and cold (the cheese wasn't even melted). The lemonade is watery and almost flavorless. The al pastor is chewy and the flavor is not al pastor. Also the line takes forever, and I think part of the reason is that they've moved the menu boards so you can only see them right before it's your turn to order. If people could look at them while they were waiting, I bet the line would move a lot faster. I really hope the business owners are reading these reviews and are open to feedback. I'm pretty loyal to this place but have gotten to the point where I'd rather eat before I get here...

As you can see in the video, the color looked nothing like a typical matcha--or even like the matchas Kaufman advertises on their own social media. The employee who served it to me even commented on the color and said, "I don't know why it looks like that." I later sent Kaufman a photo of the drink on social media. They heart-reacted to the photo, so I followed up and pointed out that the matchas they advertise online don't look anything like the one I received. They saw my message but never responded. I understand that drinks can occasionally come out wrong, but I was more disappointed by the lack of acknowledgment or effort to address it, especially after even their employee noticed something seemed off. For the price, I expected a properly made matcha or at least some kind of response when I reached out.

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.

They do walk-up service only. You order at the window. I love how casual this place is on the outside. But inside, it's all business when you peek in while you wait for someone to take your order. Their open-air display case is a fantasy to behold. With its beautifully arranged with enticing treats. You'll have a hard time deciding. I've tried several of their pastries and enjoyed each one. Sweet favorites are any of the toasts. My most recent one was their seasonal Peach Raspberry Toast. Of their savory options, the Elote Croissant Cup is fun and worth trying. You can't go wrong with anything you order. Go for your favorite flavors or try something completely new. Try to get there early. They tend to run out.

Also loved the red chile sourdough loaf. The elote cup thing didn't hold together well but overall everything was amazing and it was a great start to our New Mexico trip. If we had more days in ABQ, I would've totally come back. Also, had their own parking lot and easy to park. We ended up eating in the car with the AC on.
