Love their Mochas! I really wish they offered curbside pickup, though, as I have to quarantine for work policy. Maybe not enough staff? I will be back after that!

Nice “local”; great capuccino. Totally unpretentious vibe. With good indoor and outdoor seating, although, they could use more.

Good coffee and excellent selection of gluten free baked goods. The carrot Bundt cake with cream cheese frosting was delicious!

Quaint, quiet and comfortable... A great spot to grab a cup of deliciousness of your choice, add a delightful or decadent bite and hang out with a friend, a book or your computer. They also offer seasonal goodies that shouldnt be passed up.

Excellent coffee and people. First off, some of the best lattes and cold brew Ive had. You have to try their vanilla. The burritos and pastries are delicious as well, and its all fairly priced. The staff though is the best - very kind, chill, and welcoming. The space itself is great for some laptop work with good wifi. It is clean and has a great feel in both the indoor and outdoor areas. Highly recommend!

Little Bear takes coffee seriously and brews up a mean cup of coffee. And by mean, I mean awesome. Theyll listen to your tastes as offer suggestions and make the perfect cup of coffee for you. The Little Bear latte is fantastuc, with a good amount of foam and only a hint of sweetness to take the edge off the beans but still let you enjoy coffee as coffee. Theres yummy pastries available, and plenty of seating.

The water was professional and very nice. The coffee was good and its not a surprise that theyve been twice in a row best coffee in town.

Great little spot for coffee and pastry. Love the covered outdoor seating area. Very dog friendly. My favorite is the Little Bear Latte with cedar and vanilla with oat milk. Friendly, diverse, cozy atmosphere.

Review №13

I was surprised how out dated and dingy the coffee shop was. The decor was boring looked to be put together with left over plywood. The pastry display did not look like the one on the website. The display glass was shattered and the donuts looked like they were picked out of the dumpster behind Albertsons.My opinion 1 star is a compliment to what I witnessed in that what you call a coffee shop

Little Bear brews a wonderful cup of coffee; hot or cold. Had the vegan breakfast burrito this morning and it was top notch in flavor and spice.I really enjoy the outdoor seating not only for its cool temps but because it gives my big girl dog space to lay down.

My fiance and I visited Little Bear Coffee while driving through NM on our way to Arizona. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and all of the people working there are so cool! We got an espresso and a cortado, and both were fantastic! I really appreciated the well rounded shot of espresso. Also their merch is rad!!! Definitely check them out if you are in the area.

Review №17

The coffee here is certainly not worth the price. It has a super overwhelming bitter taste that lacks the depth of flavor you can find in a Zendo or Blackbird coffee. Although the atmosphere is lovely, I absolutely dread it when people invite me for coffee here.

Tired of Starbucks and looking for a great local coffee shop....this is it! Little Bear has great coffee and a great atmosphere.The inviting dining area is decorated amazing! What a great place to just relax or to get some work done.The staff was friendly and the music chill. I only wish I had found this place sooner. I recommend you check it out ASAP and discover another great business in ABQ!

Little Bear is such a local treasure; its wonderful to have them in our community. Great coffee, carefully prepared; friendly people; relaxing place to socialize or work; and neat merch (especially the new t-shirts and diner mugs)! Both locations are fantastic.

Stopped in Albuquerque for breakfast and to find a good cup of coffee somewhere. I stumbled upon Little Bear Coffee and I’m so glad I did! The coffee was amazing- I had an iced oat milk latte and have nothing to complain about- the espresso was perfect. The main reason I am writing this review to shout out the barista, Kelsey, behind the counter! I mentioned to her that a big part of stopping in the city was to eat at a location the main characters from Better Call Saul ate at, but unfortunately it was close. Without hesitation she told me that the White Residence (Walter White from Breaking Bad) is nearby and showed me it on a map and everything. A huge thank you to her and the company for a great cup of coffee and a place to see!

What a cool place! I tried their cedar vanilla sweetener (smelled it first!), and what an unlikely, delicious flavor combination! The cardamom rose donut was fresh and lightly crispy, as a good cake donut should be.They have a pass through serving bar, cushioned seating outside, and just a really cool overall vibe. Ill definitely go back!

Little Bear was a great place to stop and grab a quick coffee to go. I do wish I would have been able to stay a little longer because the atmosphere was so nice. It was a good quiet to where you could easily study, read, or write. The coffee was also very tasty. I got a cappuccino with oat milk. My husband got a vanilla latte and also enjoyed it.

If youre serious about coffee, Little Bear is the coffee shop for you. So coffee curious beware, youre not going to get a 4 pump caramel soy frappuccino topped with coconut foam and lighltly dusted with Indonesian nutmeg. The fanciest drink they have is the LB Latte and its delicious. I like the shop and the location (@ Pennsylvania & Phoenix). Semi industrial vibe and on the corner of one of Albuquerques older neighborhoods. A nice place to stop, meet an acquaintance, and have a very fattening cinnamon roll.

Love this place! I recently discovered Little Bear and Ive been going every day so far. Their coffee is great, the atmosphere is very chill and I absolutely love that the baristas are so friendly and willing to talk to their customers and try to educate them about their coffee, their process, and their brand. I look forward to many more hangs there 😁

Great latte and chai lattes. Wish they had a better selection of foods like some sandwhiches, though the doughnuts we nibbled on were unique flavors.

FINALLY, craft coffee in the northeast heights. Great coffee sourced from micro-roasters locally and around the country. Huge pastries from Swiss Alps Bakery. Spacious, but encourages community with large tables and wrap-around bar.The baristas are clearly passionate about what they do. It isnt rare to play audience for an impromptu latte art competition, and they are always willing to explain to curious customers the difference between coffees they carry, and the many brew methods they use to make it.Its only been open a few months, but it has already firmly established itself as a local hangout for all ages. Of all the coffee shops in town, this is the atmosphere that feels most vibrant. Crowded but not cramped, buzzing but never too loud, private, but still part of the conversation, they nailed it putting this space together. I cant wait till its warm enough to open the garage door and enjoy the ample patio space.Little Bear Fine Coffee and Stuff definitely lives up to its name, also partnering with two local artisans, No Longer Wander and Tres Cuervos, in the Suite next door to bring additional vibrance and character to the shop.Overall, a great place, to sit, sip, explore and enjoy!

Delicious coffee, cute packaging on the coffee bags, and this place actually has individual pour over cups (the kind you use with a mug). Friendly atmosphere, nice and clean bathrooms, cool staff, and an easy to get in an out location.

Very modern architecture inside and out. This coffee shop is attractive to lots of millennials in groups and on their laptops. A great place for a Bible study, school study group, or homework session. The staff is kind, and you get a free cup of coffee when you buy a bag of beans.

A little overrated. Curb appeal needs work. Inside is different but drinks are a bit expensive I thought. I don’t mind paying for a good size cup. Not going to happen here. One size fits all;)

This wonderful Little coffee shop is everything that you could want from a coffee place. They have fantastic coffee, amazing pastries, wonderful and welcoming staff, not to even mention the ambiance. When you walk in the doors, you feel like youve walked through a portal straight to Portland, Oregon. Everything about this place is a hipsters paradise. Not only do they have all the above, but they also have a comfy nook for reading and spots to plug in your electronics! 10/10 will be coming here often!

Whenever I travel, I like to seek out little coffee shops to support small businesses. This quaint spot is a gem. The pour over coffee was perfect and the service was great! James took excellent care to be kind and friendly towards me and the other patrons. If I ever pass this way again, I’ll be sure to stop here. Good coffee, nice place, friendly & professional service. ☕️

Review №62

Amazing experience! This is truly the place to get craft coffee in Albuquerque, NM. You can choose your brew method - Aeropress, V-60, Chemex, or Drip. They have an excellent selection of seasonal micro roasted coffee. We picked the Rwanda to take home but had the team brew a Kenya and Ethiopia natural process in chemex. We will be back. The two dudes in the shop gave excellent service!!

I have special dietary needs and have to ask to see labels. The staff were very accommodating and did not seem annoyed by the extra time needed to wait on me. The batista also knew to specifically use a different cannister for my milk so it wouldnt be contaminated. Im thankful for their helpful attitude and patience. The chai with almond milk is great!

This is a very hip spot! If you’re looking for that type of vibe, you’ll get it here. If that’s not important to you, it’s still a great spot as the drinks are excellent. Mine was very smooth and flavorful. I’m not sure if it’s always this busy, but it was lively at 11:30 a.m.!

One of the top three coffee shops in town. Nice seating area but sometimes hard to find a seat as many “customers “ use the space for free WiFi and as a virtual office. Good lattes and drip coffees.Update: place filled up on Sunday at 09:30. V60 Ethiopian is very nice.
