Crema's Take
“This beloved Albuquerque institution has mastered the art of being both a quick coffee stop and a lingering lunch destination, where the boldly spiced New Mexican food rivals the coffee itself. Family-run with genuine warmth that makes regulars feel like they've known the owners since third grade, Cheese & Coffee Uptown serves up standout dishes like pozole and green chicken chili alongside expertly crafted drinks in a genuinely cozy atmosphere. It's the kind of place where locals gather for serious sandwiches and serious flavor, not just caffeine and convenience.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.
