Little Bear Coffee
3123 Central Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM
Crema's Take
“This converted tire shop in a brutalist industrial space has mastered the art of casual sophistication, complete with a garage door that opens onto a dog-friendly patio perfect for lingering over espresso-forward drinks. The baristas here take their craft seriously—think thoughtfully executed pour overs and signature creative beverages rather than sugary syrups—making it a genuine destination for coffee purists who also appreciate killer atmosphere and a playlist that hits just right. Whether you're settling in with your laptop, meeting a friend, or just soaking up the vibe with your pup at your feet, Little Bear feels like the kind of place that gets better the longer you stay.”

Cool atmosphere inside old tire shop— brutalist architecture. Has a garage door to open to outside patio when temperatures are pleasant. Serves as a bar for nighttime drinks. Music 🎶 level is perfect—
Little Bear has amazing coffee and a wonderful vibe! There are plenty of tables and outlets for those who want a place to work remotely. We got an LB latte and a honey latte and both were excellent. This is a must-try if you’re in Nob Hill!
Nice vibe, good coffee. Matcha was a bit bland although it had a good pigment. Would come back but probably wouldn’t order matcha again
If you are a coffee drinker like me, not one who drinks dessert and calls it coffee, this is not the place for you. I am convinced the coffee is not good. But the atmosphere and the service is amazingly good. So, if you drink sugary coffee and you are in search of a nice place to hang out, this one is for you. They do serve beer and food. The people behind the counter are so good, it makes the coffee taste better. I will keep going and drinking the coffee, just to be there.
The best patio (dog friendly), baristas, and drinks in town are here! Shane, specifically, is always exceptionally kind and friendly to my pup and I when we come in for a drink. The patio has benches with cushions that are shockingly comfy, making this a great place to hang out with friends or chill alone with a c
