Blackbird Coffee House

Cute ambiance and decor. Honey bear latte was delicious. The croissant may have been better not heated up, the pastry seems to be just ok. Not much lamination or flake. Always searching for the perfect one 🥐

Welcoming cafe with beautiful, well made cakes, pastries and quiche. The spinach rolls looked tasty as well. Friendly and helpful staff serving at the counter only, keep an ear out for your name. Reasonable prices for Old Town and consistent with the city. Full flavoured coffee and tea creations. Lovely outdoor space in a “secret garden” along with cozy interior seating. A popular hot spot for good reason.

Both my wife and I liked the scone and the cold brew was very good. My wife said her Americano was very good. As you can see from the picture the inside is pretty large and has a variety of seating. Services was a little slow on this busy Saturday at 11:30 AM. And the costs were a little high, but they are in the middle of the plaza with good places! Recommended!

I gave this coffee house five stars for 3 reasons: It is in Albuquerque’s Old Town district which is fun and colorful, even though touristy. 2. The coffee tastes good! My husband and I opted out of all the specialty coffee drinks with these uber-sweet flavoring syrups. He got an iced cold brew and I got an Americano. Both smooth tasting with rich coffee flavor. 3. We tried blueberry scones and they were not over sweet at all and well-baked. This shop is very popular and has a funky New Mexico meets Hippy Generation vibe. There are indeed various flavors of lemonade and sparkling sodas. (Prickly Pear, Lavender, Violet and more)

The decor is nice inside, very raven-y themed. There is a stench coming from the fountain outside when you sit down though. It’s a really bad algae-y smell and it just put me off. We got the roadrunner iced and an oat cappuccino. The roadrunner was really cinnamon-y and my wife said that it was great. The cappuccino was a miss though I felt. There was a thin layer of foam followed by really hot liquid layer that I almost burnt my lips. The coffee itself was decent. they had many seasonal drinks available - today it was pumpkin and fall specials mostly.
