The Grove Cafe & Market
600 Central Ave SE, Albuquerque, NM
Crema's Take
“The Grove is a beloved breakfast and lunch destination where Albuquerque's creative crowd lingers over expertly crafted traditional drinks and thoughtfully plated dishes like sweet potato hash and sourdough-backed omelets filled with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It hits peak charm in the quiet early morning hours before the inevitable 9:30 rush, making it ideal for both solo laptop work and unhurried meals with friends. The care that goes into every plate—from artful presentation to veggie-forward cooking—explains why regulars make it a must-stop whenever they're in town.”

ABQ isn’t an early riser kinda town. The Grove gets busy about 9:30 and there’s a queue often. At 8:00 it’s quiet and quick. Had the seasonal blueberry French toast. It was great! Blueberries with almonds and pomegranate seeds, not too sweet. My wife had the Benedict and she loved it.
Food was great! Coffee was great! We considered another place, but this one had some veggies included in both of our dishes, and the bread was sourdough! We had the classic omelette (which had a little side kale) and NM avocado toast (which had a side of greens). If we visit again, we’ll try the sweet potato hash dish.
Good food! We had breakfast. The sweet potato hash with freshwater english muffin, and a french omelet, with a panache eggnog cuffing. Delicious!!! Yes we'll come back.
If anyone word defines this breakfast place it would be trendy. The sweet potato hash I ordered was an absolute work of art on a plate! The locally sourced breakfast sausage that my wife ordered with her house-made English muffin with some of the best lightly seasoned pork sausage I've had. While the portions didn't strike me as huge, and the decor gave the vibe of a place people dress up to go to breakfast, I would say that The Grove is a great place to stop in when you have a Saturday available!
Whenever I go to Albuquerque, especially around breakfast or lunchtime, I have to go to the Grove. The food is so fresh. The service is great. The atmosphere is great too, but sometimes it can feel a bit cold, especially with some of the chairs that are firm, wonderful selection, wonderful food, wonderful continuity. An options
