It's a small little shop but they have a good assortment of things besides the rock candy. They have fudge and the day I went, they were passing out free samples of it. They also have a section with "naughty" themed chocolates and another section where you can purchase Breaking Bad and New Mexico themed souvenirs. I bought a Los Pollos Hermanos shirt on a previous visit. The staff has been very kind on both my visits and they even let you use their single bathroom which is nice of them to do. The Candy Lady will undoubtedly satisfy your sweet tooth so be sure to come here!

This store was on my list of things to do while in town because my husband loves hot sauces and…read moresalsas. This store has a lot, and I believe if not everything, most of the items are made in New Mexico. The setup made this place like a playground for my husband. We left with 4 hot sauces and 2 salsas, after he was able to try a wide array of sauces to determine what he liked best. Each was arranged by heat level, making it easy to explore, even for me who doesn't like spice that much. There were so many unique blends and brands, it was an experience! It was so friendly and almost immersive inside. Natalie helped us, and she was amazing! She and my husband dove into hot sauce talk and were still at it up until the time we left. It was fun to watch the joy in both of them over the topic. The look matches the passion, small but thoughtfully arranged. It's like a hot sauce boutique. I'm sure if we lived in town, it would be a place we frequent.

Lots and lots of different salsa. This is a cute small store in Old Town Albuquerque…read more I read that they do samples but on the day we went there were NO samples. That's ok, still a cute store to visit.

First the positive then the negative. The negatives were not enough to take away from the 5 star…read moreyelp rating here but there is some low hanging fruit here that would meaningfully improve the customer experience. The food and coffee here aren't excellent. No question. Surprisingly strong spice level for an old town location, good range of New Mexican AND coffee shop menu options for breakfast and lunch. I had the enchiladas and added eggs and bacon, which is essentially Huevos Rancheros the way it is served in bowl form. Potatoes, beans, and chile flavors all complimented each other well, nice garnish and nice presentation. Had house coffee which is SOLID. The service style is counter ordering with a number, which for me is a great system. Negative - the coffee service with food is a bit confusing. Coffee comes in a paper cup for everyone apparently, which feels a bit sloppy. Mugs would be really nice. Also, because coffee is served with meal by table delivery, coffee takes a long time to get to the table. I personally like my coffee immediately and intravenously, so this was frustrating. The patio is lovely - the tables are weird. There are only large group tables, no small tables. BIGGEST Negative - parking. I looked at the social media, menu, website, and the parking problem is not addressed anywhere that I could easily find. The adjacent city lot is priced for tourists - $12 flat rate. Given that the numerous other breakfast options in the area have free and close parking, in our lamentably car-driven culture, Tiny Grocer is at a big disadvantage. I'm sure this is a recurring and difficult problem, and I would suggest blasting a solution on all social media, pinned posts, first line in bio, menu, everywhere. People could park on 18th st, 19th st, next to Tiguex park, and take a short walk to a lovely experience.

I had in mind that I wanted to get a few local foodstuffs as a gift for my dogsitter - she had…read morespecifically mentioned making sure that I ate green chile and blue corn something while I was in town, so those were the things that I immediately thought of. My host in Albuquerque drove me around, first to an Indian market - they mostly had pottery, textiles, and jewelry - then thought to come to Old Town. We drove around looking for street parking, but then decided that we'd have to pay for parking. Unfortunately the different lots in the area use different parking apps, so the first one we drove through was the wrong one. We passed by the Tiny Grocer, though, and I noticed that they had a couple of free parking spots for their patrons. I suggested that we stop in for a quick look, and lo and behold they had the sort of stuff I was looking for. I wasn't able to find blue corn pancake mix, but they had loaves of bread made with blue corn. I found some prickly pear preserves to go along with it, and picked up a Christmas chile spice blend for good measure. They bagged my purchases up in a brown paper gift bag, so I didn't even have to stop for one on my way to the dogsitter. It might have been nice to spend some time strolling around Old Town, but I'm not going to complain about accomplishing my mission so efficiently.

Nice place to get totopos, which are strips of fried tortillas and then seasoned. Like tortilla chips but with a slightly different texture. I had never had totopos before, let alone heard of this place until I had them at a friend's place. This is your typical Mexican panadería (bakery), carnicería (butcher), taqueria, y supermercado all in one. Doesn't carry everything. By supermarket, I mean more of a convenience store, but there is no word for that in Spanish. They don't have my favorite Mexican dessert: pastel tres leches, but I saw an assortment of Mexican breads and cookies.
