Espresso Café
2211 Lomas Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Historic Barelas, this neighborhood gem radiates the kind of authentic charm that feels like it's been rooted there for generations, with stellar outdoor seating that transforms your coffee break into a proper hangout. The baristas clearly care about what they're pouring—whether you're ordering a strawberry matcha that's as beautiful as it is delicious or a traditionally excellent espresso—and the kitchen turns out genuinely good food like chilaquiles that deserve just as much attention as the coffee itself. There's a real sense of community here, the kind of place where service feels personal and the vibe matches the neighborhood's cultural richness perfectly.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Very cute lil coffee shop with lots of outdoor seating and good drinks. Tried the strawberry matcha and the looks of it where as amazing as the taste!
Absolutely delicious coffee and bread!!! Baristas very hospitable. The chilaquiles also hit.
This place is awesome. Support the Raza
First time trying this coffee shop and we loved it. This shop being in Historic Barelas Neighborhood gives it such a vibe. The outside seating is amazing as well. But the service and coffee is amazing. We will definitely will come back.
I walked into Café Es Amor expecting coffee and walked out questioning why most of Albuquerque has been lying to itself. This place sits in Barelas like it has always been there, like the neighborhood quietly willed it into existence. No corporate coffee altar. No tortured menu…
