👍👍 Baristas that know their stuff! They use beans from local NM roasters which is a treat as a traveller.

    Baristas that know their stuff! They use beans from local NM roasters which is a treat as a traveller. I had the fortune of stopping by during a lull and talked with them about beans and roasts for a good ten minutes! I heard great things about their lattes but went for the pour over with their Ethiopian bean and was not disappointed. Do yourself a favor and get your morning coffee or afternoon pick-me-up from this amazing establishment inside the Sawmill. When your barista can tell you the day your beans were roasted, the tasting notes, and vibe with you about all things coffee, you know you went to the right place!

    Ordered a vanilla latte with half and half and it is so delicious!!! Coffee is not bitter at all and tastes amazing. Definitely recommend.

    Top of its class in every way. Nothing but greatness poured into a cup. On the daily grind.

    Got a mocha latte and cappuccino - both with the *perfect* microfoam. We came here nearly every day on our trip to ABQ.

    Before the below data dump, my tea was quality, and my spouse described her mocha as "fantastic." The two stars are for the following: They offer non-dairy milk options, but charge significantly for them. A 16oz iced latte is $6.25, but to sub non-dairy (oat or almond) is $1.50. That's nearly a 25% upcharge for what is easily only 8 or 9oz of liquid. Consider about 2oz for a double espresso, 1oz for any syrup, and you've got 13oz of space. I observed them filling the cup 1/3 with ice, so about 5oz of ice volume. Considering a 48oz bottle of Califia Oat Milk costs approximately $4 at most WalMarts, thats only $0.0833/oz. That means 8oz costs a consumer $0.67. WalMart charges $2.84 for a gallon (128oz) of house brand whole milk, or $0.02/oz, meaning 8oz for $0.16. That's a net difference of $0.51. Even understanding differences in distribution cost and availability, they use Califia Barista products which retail online for approximately $0.09-0.12/oz. There cannot be a significant overhead for them to stock and utilize non-dairy products. It may seem petty to comment on the cost of non dairy options, but for those of us with lactose intolerance it comes down to paying significantly more for a coffee, suffering, or going without.

    Ordered an espresso and a cup of Aeropress. The barista pulled a really tasty shot, and it was probably the best Aeropress I've ever had. Wish I'd have gotten their recipe!

    Amanda's artwork on the cardimum white chocolate mocha. Also enjoyed the pumpkin brulee brevé latte with equally beautiful artwork on top. Cheers to coffee drinkers of the world! Our party of world travelers (today from Aruba, Ukraine and other adventurers) ❤️🌻🙂

    Amazing! Great vibes, nice people and amazing coffee! Also best hot chocolate I've ever had! Not too hot, not too sweet. Absolutely perfect!

    Maybe update your website to say that you aren't open everyday. The number of people milling about looking for coffee on Thanksgiving would thank you.

    This coffee shop is located within Sawmill Market, an open warehouse-type space for food and drink vendors. To be fair, on the stars for food, I have never eaten any food there. Only coffee drinks.

  • 4/5 Christine B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee. Maybe don't go and wash dishes after I place my order especially since it was clear that I was in a hurry. Little difficult to find. At one end of the food court. I don't have my bearings but I want to say that it was either the far north or far East.

    The coffee is here great and the staff is friendly and fantastic! Thank you Aziza for the great coffee and local insider tips on my quest to find the best breakfast burrito in town.

    Amazing drinks. I’ve had gingerbread latte and mocha latte, both were 5 stars. Will return and try other drinks enthusiastically

    No visible crema, no microfoam. Shot tastes like it was a pretty long pull. Disappointing :/

  • 5/5 Heather H. 1 year ago on Google
    We had two iced lattes. Excellent coffee! Very smooth, no bitterness. Some of the best I’ve ever had.

    Not sure if it was a bad day at Plata or something, but I had a cup of Brazilian coffee here today...and it's the worst coffee I've had in the city. I mean awful. The brew was way too thin, the coffee has almost no flavor profile, depth or richness, and the finish is terrible. All that and it costs more than most local competitor's. I honestly had to go get another cup of coffee at a different local vendor to wash the taste out of my mouth. Beautiful space but not worth the money. Hopefully the food vendors will be a better quality.

    Top tier coffee & tea served up by friendly folks. They've been around for a while (previously in a different location) and are very community minded and always deliver a good experience that's also low key and accessible. Definitely 5/5 every time.

    This place is so amazing, the displays are well done, the space looks amazing and the drinks are very good. I visited from Phoenix Arizona and I can’t wait to come back during fall time for their pumpkin spice latte. Sooo good I had dreams about that cup of coffee. The owners are wholesome, amazing people and the staff as well. How could you not like this place?

    Delicious! I got a midday coffee. That's always exciting! But this was exceptionally good. Thank you so much Plata Coffee.

    Smells great. As in the stand manages to smell like a coffee perfumery EVEN within a big open indoor market (food court.) Fantastic and friendly service - they made a fantastic Columbia med/dark Aeropress for me. Located on the far east wall of the market, next to a patisserie (whoops, yeah, now you're REALLY tempted, aren't ya!)
