Cafe Coffee shop

👍👍 The ABSOLUTE BEST latte in abq! Such a modern, warm and inviting atmosphere. The workers are very nice and like I said, the espresso is 100/10. I’ve come back 4 times now and every drink has been spot on, even with different people making it. You need to try it! People often mention coffee, latte, shop, great, staff,

    This is the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. Their chai tea latte is to die for. And the owners are extremely kind and personable. I love it here!

    I’ve tried many coffee shops in ABQ for years now, and I can say Novel Point has risen to the top for me! I’ve had several drinks from Novel Point now, and none of them have missed - it’s clear the owners put a lot of love and care when designing their drinks, since the flavor combos work so well. I’m always excited to try something new every time I visit. The Buddy Latte and Novel Delight are easily my favorites and what I would recommend. If you’re looking to try something unusually extraordinary, they have the Cafe Mango drink as well - the flavor of alphonso mango and ceyenne remind me of home, what a brilliant creation! Can’t wait to see what more Novel Point brings to the ABQ community!

    We are staying at an Airbnb in downtown Albuquerque. This was the closest coffee shop that was opened and not Starbucks. The store was clean and hip. The menu had vegan options and meaty options. I had a breakfast sandwich and it was great. A brioche bun with cheese egg bacon and Sriracha mayo. My only feedback would be that the brioche bun overpowered the flavor of everything else. I could barely taste the Sriracha. I would opt for a thinner type of bread next time, but the sandwiches are pre-made by a small grocer in ABQ. I bought a drip coffee with cream and it was delicious coffee. I also purchased a toasted caramel latte which tasted like oat milk. I must have overlooked the recipe. There is outdoor seating in the sunshine with great views of courthouse building an old breweries. The staff was kind.

    This is the best latte in ABQ. I knew it was going to be a good experience when I saw that they use Pink House Alchemy syrups (hooray for supporting more LGBTQ+ small businesses). The espresso is always fresh, the milk is steamed to velvety perfection, and the staff is chill. Love the space decor inside. There isn't much seating inside, but there is more outside on the patio. The only downside to me is the paid parking lot; but that's downtown for ya.

    Open at 7am on a Monday morning. I tried a cappuccino, then a regular pour over, along with an almond croissant. Small place is very clean with a nice window view of 1st Street. Gentleman there mentioned there is free parking around the opposite side of the paid lot, which I used.

    Came here because of all the amazing reviews, and it did not disappoint! 10/10 coffee, food, and service. Patio is dog friendly, always a plus to me. (:

    Super cute cafe with excellent staff! The first time I went, I got a dirty chai with oat milk that is made with coffee instead of espresso, which maybe wasn’t my favorite… But the second time I got a vanilla oat milk latte and it was EXCELLENT! Definitely worth going 👍🏻 Plus, for the month of November, they are taking donations for NM Special Olympics, which is awesome!

    As of me writing this, this place has the BEST coffee shop in town. They have some of the best drinks I've had in Albuquerque. The Novel Delight is a must try (especially iced on a hot summer day). The Buddy Latte is great too. I tried their matcha drink and it was well made. Their oatmeal bowl is also one of the best I've had and the burritos are great. The baristas are truly talented. High quality coffee for sure!

    The cutest coffee shop! The staff is so nice and always so upbeat. They have the best matcha and the pesto & cheese melt is the perfect lunch item!

    Wonderful little Space. Cute little coffee shop with a minimalistic vibe and a shaded outdoor patio. I got a 16 ounce cold brew. It had a great flavor to it not overly extracted . Light taste, chocolate, notes, and smooth finish. I paid less than five bucks so the price was right the owners were friendly, knowledgeable, and not pushy. You could tell that they really geek out on coffee! Will be back!

    I have been here a few times now. The coffee and service are phenomenal. Alex and the rest of the team have treated me well and I enjoy seeing the mutual respect from their regulars (including dogs) that walk through the door. My favorite drink is the buddy latte. The yogurt bowl and breakfast sandwich are also worth a try. The ambiance is inviting and I’ve enjoyed getting some work and studying in here. There are not a ton of tables inside, but there a lot more seating options outside. I will definitely be back again soon.

    Dog friendly coffee shop nestled in downtown. Such a great little find! Beagles are fresh and the coffee is on point!! Great space and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

    Cute shop. Very tiny limited seating, but does have a patio.

  • 5/5 Claire B. 1 year ago on Google
    Divine micro foam in the latte! They offer vegan lunch options as well. Interior is cute, front patio is cute. Back patio is quiet with a view of the Sandias.

    Great service, super cute inside and the coffee is soooo good. Highly recommend the buddy latte.

  • 5/5 Jackie O. 1 year ago on Google
    This coffee and espresso is truly five star. If you are serious about your espresso drinks and want to avoid low quality skunk coffee for the masses and sugar laden concoctions this is the place.

  • 5/5 Jeremy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Not sure how long this place has been here, but spotted a sign while driving down lomas and stopped to check out. Good for me is that there is now delicious coffee within walking distance of my office. Bad for me is that there is now delicious coffee within walking distance of my office. The cappuccino is an actual cappuccino - small cup, perfect balance of coffee and milk. Very very glad this is here, hope it sticks around.
