I absolutely LOVE Little Bear. I've been going here for years, the coffee is great, and the…read morebaristas are fantastic. It's my local coffee shop where they know my name and my order as soon as I walk in. I also love the atmosphere here even though it is often crowded. It's a great place to get some work done, or to meet a friend to chat. Literally the only issue I have with them is their new ordering/card reader system. It's often down, which results in long lines, long waits, and stressed out baristas. Also, their it's tied to their loyalty program, so when I go there and their system is down, I don't get points. Would love it if they went back to the old system! Other than that, Little Bear Uptown is my favorite place to get coffee in Albuquerque.

First, how is this place not a full 5 stars? Great coffee, super people, and of course the…read moreatmosphere smells like coffee! I was greeted at the door by a customer's very friendly golden lab, best greeting of the day btw. The coffee was as requested without issue. There is only one size (12oz) so I grabbed two since I'm a traveling man today. I like my coffee so needed that spare. Cinnamon rolls can be found but overall this is a coffee shop. Not like grandma's hash slinging eggs over easy, coffee, reading, chatting, and just enjoying the day in general. If I had more time, I would have written some on my dissertation this morning. Cheers to Little Bear for a great vibe!

The environment is so chic and elevated! It may be a bit out of the way for me but I don't care because it is so delicious!!! Not to mention their yogurt is sooo good! They strain all the whey out so all that's left is the thick creaminess and it doesn't break me out! So yeah 10/10!

This place was pretty busy and hopping and inviting.. The service was awesome and everyone was polite and helpful.. I had the avocado toast which ranks right up there with as good as I've had. I also ordered a latte with whole milk and half simple syrup.(it was extremely good.). Look at the chocolate croissant, which was really good as well as the orange loaf., also really tasty. I ordered an iced blueberry maple cold foam latte ( it was ok but not as expected). Lastly ordered the seasonal salad which was awesome. Can't wait to go back again..

Hidden gem! What a…read moresweet little shop this is. Didn't expect to find so many incredible teas. Even tho we were here for coffee, I did buy some tea to take home. The iced vanilla latte was equally good! Large comes with 3 shots. They have almond milk as well as the regular milk. The 2 workers were helpful and friendly. So glad we came across this while visiting Albuquerque. We'll be back.

I live in Washington State--widely known for having some of the "best" coffee around. And sure,…read moreI've had some great cups here. But my favorite roasted coffee beans actually come from this cute little roasterie in Albuquerque! I've been buying from Moon's for years, and during a trip for the Balloon Fiesta in 2019, my son and I had the pleasure of meeting Joy and Jori in person. They were so kind and welcoming, and it made us appreciate their work even more. In my opinion, their roasting is spot-on--rich, flavorful, and always balanced. Every blend I've tried has been incredible. Having a burr grinder to grind these is key! My son's more of a tea guy, and he was excited to pick up some of their loose leaf selections too. If you ever get the chance, go visit Moon's and meet these wonderful folks. The coffee somehow tastes even better when you know who's behind it.

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!

If you're looking for less sweet, very fancy, homemade doughnuts with natural flavors, look no…read morefurther. We ordered 6 doughnuts so we could try a bite of each. My son loved the cherry blossom the most. On all of them, the cake part was too heavy with little flavor so he ended up eating the tops only. We also tried the prickly pear which was good but in our opinion, all of their doughnuts are lacking the sweetness you can expect when eating a doughnut for breakfast. We think there needs to be more icing on them since they are all cake based. The salted butter didn't have much flavor, but the chocolate was pretty good. My son liked the maple doughnut also. I really enough my cappuccino, but it was tiny for $4.50. The flavor was really good, and they use Little Bear coffee. The atmosphere inside was clean and inviting. The service was good. Not much chitchat or smiles, but friendly enough. The pricing is very high, but you do get 10% off if you order six. We paid nearly $30 for 6 doughnuts. It's a little too fancy for my son and I, but I know there are plenty of folks that love doughnuts that are more cake based and not as sweet, so enjoy! Cheers!

The place is open and decorated nicely and everybody was really nice.. that was greeted by Sam the manager who is extremely helpful and let me know about their different donuts, different coffees and they also supplied donuts to other coffee, shops, and stuff throughout the city. I had gotten the regular black coffee and a chai tea. Both were pretty darn good. I want to try something different so I got a doughnut with a coffee glaze and then I also got an apricot thyme donut which surprises me. I like that. Just a touch better than the Coffey one, but both were pretty darn good donuts I have to say.. this is a place. I will definitely make it back again..

I visited today and had a very bad experience with the owner…read more I had my pet/service animal with me and was on a first date. He's a Yorkie and yes he provides tasks for me related to several medical issues. In fact he is very sensitive to my needs. The owner was confrontational and told me to sit outside, service animal or not. Then she started asking me what she has a right to, but at this point seemed unnecessary. I was on a first date, so I hesitated to say it loud given my first date. Then she snarled at me saying "I'm allowed to ask those questions." If it didn't matter to her if he was a service animal or not, then why the questions? I went back in to get the drinks they forgot to give us, and I showed her his documentation, though not required. She then told me "he's not a service dog!" This may get criticism or kudos, but I fail to see why the owner needed to be so rude and confrontational, especially when I was compliant with her wishes and compliant with the ADA laws. I have been asked the question, "what service does he perform?" at other restaurants, and businesses in Albuquerque without confrontation. They have acted with kindness and professionalism, directed me where to sit, asked for him to sit on the floor, etc. This woman did not and I felt she was purposely confrontational.
