    I brought my baby here so we could get out of the house and it was a nice little outing. There is limited seating indoors (just a few small tables) but they also have a patio out back. Also keep in mind that there is a couple small steps down into the cafe, but not bad. I was able to get my small stroller in no problem. The service was really good. The man working the counter answered all my questions and was very welcoming. I had a very interesting g coffee that had sweet corn cold foam. I wasn't sure I would like it but it was surprisingly delicious, and a good size too. I also had a berry ricotta cake that was moist and delicious. I would definitely come again next time I'm in Old Town

    So many local goodies.

    What isn't there to say about this place!? Omg. I had the absolute best blueberry, lemon cake with a powder frosting. & a double shaken espresso latte with a soft top. Eveything inside and out is a whole vibe. The art work, the couches, the local art and set up. There's magazines everywhere. Local food and bread! I want to try the sourdough so bad. The outside patio is soooo cozy, there's so many places to sit. You do have to catch this place when it's open! I would make sure to check the hours! The staff is also super sweet, getting recommendations from them never fails. I always make sure to go as SOON as they open cause it's no joke when they get packed!

    Beautiful little coffee shop. Wonderful and inviting community. Our coffee and sweets were absolutely amazing and the courtyard is perfect for enjoying the delicious treats.

    Clever, cute and quality. Those are the three words to describe Santa Cecilia. Tucked away in the Old Town area, Santa Cecilia is a diamond in the rough... I am not kidding. The menu is focused. Yeah you can order an Americano but you'd be missing out. You've Got Mail, When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle are interesting takes that lends itself as a Prelude to a Kiss. I had the sleepless in Seattle and try the breakfast burrito... they make it panini style. Enough said. Mic drop.

    If you know me, you know I love coffee shops and the variety in them across the city. Santa Cecilia is located in Old Town and a relatively new one to the Albuquerque coffee scene, it is so cute and an absolute must visit. The personality of the business is very clear and unique from the moment you walk in. They have such fun decor and menu items. Overall the space is really cozy and I love the outside space in the warmer weather. Also the coffee is good which isn't always true for cute coffee shops. Good coffee and a total vibe.

    Santa Cecilia really outdid themselves this time. I am consistently impressed with the intentional ingredients and cultural integration of this lovely small business in Old Town. Their charm and aesthetic never compensate for the quality of their products. They are equally matched. My service is always excellent, whatever you order, you will most likely love. And sometimes, a marigold cinnamon oat milk black tea will dissolve into you like medicine. Thank you, Compa

    First time visiting Cutbow Coffee Roasters, but I've been drinking coffee long enough to know the…read moredifference between good coffee and coffee that merely exists. This place definitely falls into the first category. This morning I went with the single origin Guatemala drip, and it was exactly what a solid cup of coffee should be. Smooth, rich, and balanced with a nice chocolate note that hangs around just long enough to make you take another sip. No bitterness. No burnt taste. Just a clean, well-roasted cup that says someone here actually cares about the beans. The shop itself has a personality, which I always appreciate. It's decorated with fishing lures, fish artwork, and sculptures scattered around the place. Naturally this leads to the obvious conclusion: the owner is either an avid fisherman... or coffee roasting is just the side hustle between trout expeditions. Either way, the theme works. The space feels relaxed, creative, and comfortable. The kind of place where you can sit with a cup and not feel rushed out the door. And speaking of doors, while I was there there was a steady flow of customers coming in and out. That's usually the universal coffee signal for yep, this place is doing something right. Bottom line: Great coffee, cool atmosphere, and a shop with enough character to keep things interesting. I'll definitely be back for another cup of that Guatemala.

    Service was so kind and helpful with recommendations and questions around coffee and pastries…read more I got the mocha with macadamia milk. It was delicious. Very mild chocolate, I believe it is Dutch chocolate if my memory services me not to sweet which I appreciate. It was delightfully well balanced. The coffee itself is very smooth and not bitter, excellent taste! I will be back for sure to try other options there are lots of choices. I should have taken a picture of the menu. There is ample seating both inside and outside, had I not had my toddler with me I would have loved to sit out front but it is right by the road so a no go with a rambunctious little boy... There is additional outside seating to the side and farther from the road too. I look forward to my next trip.

    Just wow! Bike In Coffee . . . please add this to your long list of unique and wonderful…read morebreakfast/brunch spots in Albuquerque. Even if you don't "bike in", you're welcome to check out the beautiful grounds, the feasting cranes, the crops thriving, and the abundance of happy people. And the food is tasty, too! I enjoyed a few street tacos - $4 each, filled with deliciousness, and made with care. My group and I shared a Berry Crepe as an extra treat, and the lemonade was just as I like it . . . not too tart and not too sweet. Did I mention the wonderful music? A trio provided a steady stream of mellow rock at just the right volume. There was plenty of seating outdoors and indoors, and the staff did a great job getting our food out quickly and keeping everything clean and welcoming. Yelp on, y'all!

    I hate that I am leaving a negative review about a local business, but there were too many…read morenegatives to ignore on our visit today. To start, they charge $5 for car parking. I understand that they are hoping to encourage people to cycle instead of drive, but it seemed a bit much to pay to buy food at their establishment. Next, the line was Looooong and moved at a glacial pace. While chatting with others in line, the wait time seemed to be pretty typical for weekends. Waiting over an hour in the sun to place an order is too long yall. It's time to open a second window to take orders quicker. The food was truly sad. :( We ordered an oatmeal cookie (flavorless), the Green Chile bagel sandwich (which wasn't really a bagel? It was a roll and it was super greasy.), a lemonade (so watered down it was basically lightly flavored water), veggie and fish tacos (both of which needed seasoning and were cold, PLUS the veggies on the veggie taco were those pre mixed vegetables kits you buy at the grocery store that come frozen in the bulk section. So soggy, cold and not appetizing.) and an iced coffee which was fine but weak. The location is doing all the heavy lifting for this place, because it is truly stunning. Green trees everywhere and lots of outside space to sit. But with all these negatives, plus lots of up-charging on the menu, we won't be back. Sorry guys, Albuquerque knows good food, and this ain't it.
