I'm definitely a bit of a coffee snob, so the fact that I kept coming back says a lot. The staff was always friendly and pleasant, and I even bought a bag of beans to take home. Can't wait to try them!

I always make it a point to stop here at least once or twice while I'm in town because it's one of the best spots for your morning caffeinated. It has a unique welcoming atmosphere themed towards fly fishing enthusiast. A beautiful set up with the roaster right at the front and center in a nice outdoor patio right off of Rio Grande Blvd. There's sample beans for display ranging from Costa Rica to Guatemala to Kenya to Papua New Guinea and beyond. Their pastries come from local Le Chantilly Fine Pastries. The raspberry tart was absolutely delectable. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, as well as knowledgeable about all the various products and procedures for roasting. Java lovers don't miss this spot!

Highly recommend you check it out!

We were heading to Santa Fe for the day and decided to stop for a coffee on the way out of town…read more Zendo's was on our list of possible coffee shops to go to while we were in Albuquerque and that's the one we chose. We were there fairly early on a Saturday morning and it wasn't very busy when we arrived, but it got a bit busier before we left! The staff were friendly and efficient. We each ordered a coffee and a pastry and sat for a while. The place is cool - we like a good vibe and this place has it! We live almost 1000 miles from there, so we likely won't be back, but we highly recommend it!

This place has such a friendly vibe to it and the staff are so kind and knowledgeable. They even remembered my name, despite it being very busy and coming back a few days later.

If you're looking for something cool to experience in downtown ABQ, this is a place for you. They've got tasty treats and flavorful drink options. The bagels and breakfast burritos are pretty good too. Try the golden milk latte if you're feeling like a health pick me up. Love this place!

Since the weather was warmer and later in the day, I opted for their iced decaf latte, which was enjoyable.

The parking is a bit crazy, they do have someone trying to help direct traffic through the parking lot. If you don't want to brave that though, there's plenty of street parking. It's busy but there's a lot of indoor and outdoor seating and the turnover pace is pretty good. Things can be a bit loud if you hit the crowded times, but really it's a popular spot for good reason. I got the sweet potato hash and it had the perfect mix of veggies and eggs and was cooked just right. I also tried one of their tea blends and it really hit the spot. The staff is all very friendly and helpful as well and the food comes out quickly. Anyway, great experience as always at the Grove!

It has a modern, bright, aesthetic vibe with marble-style tables, clean decor, and a great atmosphere to sit and hang out. Visually, it checks all the boxes for a trendy brunch spot. The staff were very kind and went out of their way to be helpful and attentive to all guests. Unfortunately, the food and value simply don't match the ambiance. We ordered two straightforward breakfast plates and iced coffees, and the bill came out to around $40--which feels way too expensive for what actually ends up on your plate. The first dish was a basic breakfast sandwich on an English muffin served with a small side ramekin of kale salad. While the presentation was neat, the sandwich itself was fairly standard and underwhelming for the price tag. The second plate was a traditional breakfast layout featuring scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, jam, and the same small kale side. The eggs were cooked fine and the bacon was crisp, but there was nothing unique or memorable about the flavors to justify charging high-end prices for staple breakfast ingredients.  All in all, while the aesthetic and atmosphere are definitely inviting, paying $40 for two plain breakfast plates leaves a sour taste. If you're looking for an impressive food experience to match the high price point, you might end up

Milan, Paris, Rome, London, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Java, Auckland, or Portland, Oregon. Nowhere has done better than this. Y'all are a tough crowd. They use a wide variety of beans and roast them with a lot of nuance to bring out the strengths of each variety. They pull outstanding shots. They teach classes in appreciating coffee. They run food and clothing drives for people in need. They are LGBTQ+ welcoming. They sell weird gifts. They have a charming patio in a sweet neighborhood. They have books and games. Their bags of beans are just as good, and they stay fresh longer than any store bought beans I've ever purchased anywhere. (At home I roast my own because freshness is paramount.) Anyone who isn't giving this place five stars and a mountain of love is deeply sus. Roast on, my friends.

I also learned that when you buy a bag of coffee, it comes with a complimentary drink, so I ordered a delicious iced Americano. The staff was friendly and efficiently handled the constant influx of customers. It's a very small place, so there aren't a ton of spots to sit and hang out, though the patio is fairly large. That said, there isn't much shade, so keep that in mind on hot days.

About the restrooms - they weren't filthy or anything - just old and not great - but they worked! We would definitely go back if we were ever in the area again!
