Little Bear Coffee - Uptown
2632 Pennsylvania St NE, Albuquerque, NM
Crema's Take
“This spacious Albuquerque spot strikes an impressive balance between a serious espresso and pour-over destination and a genuinely welcoming hangout, with a distinctly laid-back vibe enhanced by abundant plants and cacti that make the place feel like a desert sanctuary. Their matcha program stands out as particularly creative (fans still reminisce about seasonal offerings like shaken blueberry matcha), and they're known for generous pours and thoughtful temperature control that shows real care in execution. Whether you're settling in for hours of work or just passing through, the chill atmosphere and quality craft drinks make it easy to understand why everyone from digital nomads to flight attendants keeps coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly.

Came in for an afternoon drink after a morning filled with the Balloon Fiesta and I was pleasantly surprised by this place! Loads of plants and cactus line the walls and the coffee delivered in taste and freshness. We got a honey vanilla oat milk latte and a mocha with their…
I’m a flight attendant and I found this little place on Google. Super cute, excellent cold brew (my standard at all the places I visit) and great atmosphere. The vibe is so great and chill. I love the outdoor seating and the art on the walls is so cool. I also ate a red chili…
