Crema's Take
“This beloved Nob Hill spot radiates a thoughtfully designed warmth that makes you want to linger—reviewers consistently praise the cozy, intentional atmosphere and excellent service that never feels rushed. Beyond stellar traditional espresso drinks, they're known for creative specialty beverages like their standout iced matcha, and the tiny gift shop tucked by the entrance adds an extra layer of charm that feels less like retail and more like discovering a curated friend's collection. It's the kind of family-owned space that actually delivers on the promise of being a community gathering place, where you can settle in with your laptop or meet someone over a beautifully made chai and genuinely feel welcomed.”

Great new coffee shop. On a Sunday morning around 10am there were about 20-25 people in there and it didn’t feel crowded. Line moved quickly and service was friendly and also fairly fast. Nice ambience and environment. Great seating options. The owners must be parents because there were a lot of kid friendly things I noticed that most other nice coffee shops don’t have. First the kids’ corner had some kitchen toys, books, trucks. This kept my 3 year old entertained for an hour. There is a great changing table in the bathroom. My only suggestion there is that the trash can in the bathroom is tiny so for diapers you may need to change to a bigger trash can, or provide some random plastic bags (like old grocery store bags or packaging plastic) so people can put dirty diapers in those before putting the diapers in the little trash can, just to help with odor. Just from the perspective of kid friendliness I would come back to this coffee shop over others in the area. No food but it sounded like they were working on it and may get some baked goods soon. I asked if I could go across the street to Ihatov and bring back outside food (didn’t think my kids would make it through the stay without food) and they were more than fine with that.
Super nice coffee shop, and tiny gift shop as you walk in with cool stuff! Very beautiful decor and cozy vibe with all the warm colors. Service was excellent. Caramel latte was great and so was a chai latte with oatmilk and 1 pump of vanilla 😉. Loved the tables and art. Cute bar seating as well. Kids corner which is cool if you bring your tater tot with you. Location is great in nob hill.
Delicious coffee! Great service and inviting ambiance ❤️
One of the best spots in Abq! The atmosphere is calm and inviting. You can tell it was designed with love and consideration for the community. The staff was lovely and inviting. The iced matcha was delicious and the iced chia latte was also super tasty. Cant wait to go back and try some other drinks. You can also buy local coffee and they will grind it for you to take home. They have a variety of shop items as well all locally made. If you are in the area it is well worth a stop. Plus their sister crystal store is right next door!
This family owned coffee shop is amazing located in nob hill right next to its sister shop Stickks and Stones. They truly bring the vibe with this cozy and holistic atmosphere. The coffee is great they have a kids corner , books and anything else you could need! Stop on by and give it a try !
