New Mexico Piñon Coffee
5222 4th St NW, Albuquerque, NM
Crema's Take
“This beloved Albuquerque institution specializes in locally-inspired signature drinks like their standout Mexican spiced chocolate latte and creative lavender matcha combinations that capture the unique flavors of New Mexico. The quiet, welcoming space is perfect for lingering over breakfast burritos and coffee, with baristas who take real care in their craft—evident in details like latte art that brightens your morning. While consistency can be hit-or-miss, when they're on point, the experience feels genuinely special and rooted in the local coffee culture.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Opens early.
