Little Bear Coffee & LBPM Neighborhood Bar- Nob Hill
3123 Central Ave NE D, 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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Open late. Dog friendly.

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…
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…
