Okay, to start with the area is beautiful and quiet. The staff is friendly, upbeat, and so helpful even as it got busy. We sat outside; all of their tables have some shade and are perfectly positioned to catch breezes.Now the food: we ordered a green chili chicken crepe (πŸ₯΅) and the frangipane primo crepe. The savory crepe was so delicious and spicy with a chicken fillet folded in and stuffed with potatoes, the sweet was COVERED in delicious fresh fruit and filled with delicious almond paste. The food was so good and the portions were perfect (we shared two crepes between three adults). We also order lattes and they were splendid.10/10 would recommend, an excellent brunch spot with something for everyone.

I got a bacon breakfast burrito. The bacon had great flavor and wasnt overcooked. The green chile had a good strong chile flavor. Im not a huge potato fan so I got easy potato. I opted for the salsa that provided a nice acidity and freshness to the dish.My cappuccino had a good sturdy foam atop a quad espresso with great flavor. Ill be adding to my coffee shop rotation.

I went a few months ago for the first time and Im sad that I hadnt gone earlier! The staff was above and beyond courteous even on a busy weekend morning. The food and drinks were also great, with a wide variety of food to choose from (Im an all-day coffee drinker so I dont like to be limited to continental breakfast). Will definitely be going back soon.

Cute little restaurant, not to busy. Chile was spicy, which was great! Not to busy & food was pretty good. Chicken, green Chile crepe was good we added humus which made it better, the waffle Monte crisco was good & the ranger breakfast bowl was really good. Would come here again.

I highly recommend Limonata for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. They have beautiful, shaded outdoor seating surrounded by gardens of trees and roses. They have quirky but enjoyable indoor seating as well. Their food is great and the staff is some of the most genuinely friendly I have ever encountered. You will be so happy to have visited.

From the minute we walked through the door we were transported to a world gone by. Ss it was our first time here the staff made us feel right at home. The food was excellent. We had the best Spinach Quiche and the Strawberry and Cream Crepps was delicious. This is a hidden gem we wished we had found sooner. We will be back.

Love this place, however the eggs they put in the breakfast crepe are consistently rubbery and dry. This is the 3rd time this has happened to me. We spoke to them about it, they remade the crepe and guess what- still rubbery and hard eggs! Im guessing they pre-make the eggs in the morning and they sit around. Not a good idea! Make them fresh!Would advise you to ask before ordering any scrambled eggs.

Grabbed breakfast here before heading out of ABQ. The patio is such a sweet area. The staff was super friendly and easy going. There is parking on site and it felt like an overall safe area. My food was delicious and my latte rocked.

Super cute spot! The patio is absolutely perfect. The food is tasty, coffee is amazing and the staff is top notch friendly... if all of this wasnt enough, they also sell the hugest and thickest brownies Ive ever seen! (Fudgy ones not the cake-like stuff!)

Food is great! Hard to breathe because of the humidity and smoke in the building. Very hipster and cute but not very practical. Small tables at weird heights. Its not a place for big groups but a place to hang out with a couple of friends. The cook seemed to enjoy his job and did great. Cow in the bathroom stares at you. Overall 3 stars.

Had the Caprese Panini. Very fresh ingredients and attention to detail. Ice tea was great as well. A little pricey. Our only gripe was the price. Clocked in at over $30 for two sandwiches.

Pleasant independent cafe with some food options. There appears to be no full kitchen so a lot of the food is prepared ahead of time and warmed up at the time of order. Their specialty is crepes and pastries but I had a breakfast burrito with green chile and it was about average.

Limonata has been a great spot to walk to for my Coffee or when I am in a rush. Their NitroBrew PiΓ‘on coffee has me energized to start my day! Before the health crisis I loved going to limonata for a study spot. The patio is still accessible. Every meal here is a hit. They are known for their crepes, also they have Gluten Free Buckwheat Crepes. Below the counter they have a lisitng of all their GF items. Today they mentioned they were happy I visited, it just sweetened up my day. Thanks Phil, I will be back! Curbside pick up available too- I love that!

The staff was super friendly and helpful. They gave us a heads up befog we even looked that it was a long wait for crepe. We chose to get a cinnamon roll to tide us over which was an excellent choice. There’s are outs on the bottom of the roll which add a perfect touch. Both the caprice crepe and pollo verde were worth the wait

First time trying this place. The cute patio was set up great for distancing but still very peaceful. I tried the peanut butter and jelly crepe with ligonberry. It was just the right amount of sweet without being candy.The staff was attentive and friendly, especially Phil who was very patient with my elderly father.If I lived closer, Id go to this place all the time. Its a local business, next to other local businesses.I intend to be back to enjoy the scenery and try a new temptation.

Our first visit to Limonata and we had the best experience!Atmosphere is very laid back. Staff were all very friendly and attentive. We sat on the patio where we got to relax with some of the other patrons dogs.Coffee was good and strong. Cappuccinos were delicious. And dont forget the food! We had burritos and they were amazing. They grill them so the tortilla has some crunch on the outside. Ingredients were all fresh and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend getting a side of their house made salsa to go with.What a wonderful find in Nob Hill. Well definitely be back!

My absolute favorite place in Albuquerque. Its very cute and small. The employees are AMAZING. They take the time to get to know their customers and remember us and our usual order when we go in. The coffee is AMAZING and their crepes omg their crepes. Best in town! Wish I could give them 100000 stars. Thank you Limonata for always being amazing!

Review β„–76

We went to this small, lovely cafe for lunch. The person taking our order at the counter was really knowledgeable about each menu item, explaining that the food we were ordering is more authentic to its original region than most American versions. The differences were interesting to know, and our selections were delicious. They have vegetarian and gluten free items. The cafe is also well known for its coffee and desserts.

I love this place. They have great coffee including a special cold brew coffee that is delicious. The food is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful.

This place has the best variety of Italian/southwestern street food. It is not just a place to pop in for a bite. My favorite thing to get is the cold brewed coffee which is delicious. It has all the flavor without the bitter after taste. Although this is not a vegan restaurant, as a vegan I have found their food to be some of the best around .!!!!!!!!!

Review β„–92

Always my favorite #1 go-to coffee house for my lunch breaks, especially for the numerous amount of tasty food options and absolutely delicious crepes for either breakfast or lunch style! Also, the only place in town that has the Borgia coffee drink thats my go-to warm coffee drink that is both flavorful in chocolate and unique touch of orange zest to it! And if I am feeling for an iced cold drink on a hot day, the iced chai here is a delicious touch. Overall, the atmosphere here has a relaxing and comforting vibe, which is really nice!

This place has great food at a great price. Its like a hidden gem that lots of people dont know about here in Albuquerque. My favorite thing to order from the menu is the sausage burritoes.

Update: My last review (below) was from a few years ago. Just so everyone knows- all the great qualities still remain and somehow the friendliness of the staff is even better than when I first started coming here. Great food.Kind staff. Good vibes all around.β€”-Ive spent many hours in this comfy coffee shop. Great drinks! Tasty food! Nice patio area. The only thing I would change is that I wish they were open late at night so I could grab some good eats and drinks when the bars close.
