    Finally made it here for Sunday brunch and it was fine… just fine. I really really wanted to love this place. For a party of two, we waited for 35-40 minutes starting at 10:45, only to find out they had us on the wait list as a party of four. I don’t know if that contributed to the wait or not, but I’m sure it didn’t help. Overall, I was not excited about the menu options. Who wants gravy as the sauce on any version of eggs benedict? Once we were seated, nobody came to our table for at least 10 minutes. We had to flag down a staff member and let them know we were ready to order. I got the French Underground waffle, which was topped with blueberries, raspberries, and Brie cheese, along with a side of bacon and a Bellini mimosa. The waffle dish was underwhelming. The Brie really threw off the flavor profile. I love Brie and I love it with sweet jams/jellies, but the combination here was just not great. It wasn’t even really melted enough to be able to spread around and mix well with the other toppings. The waffle itself was a great texture and flavor. The bacon had an unnecessary amount of pepper on it. Bacon doesn’t need any pepper on top… leave that to the customer. The Bellini mimosa was fine but really lacked any peach flavor. Had some type of blueberry syrup at the bottom, which looked pretty but ultimately served no purpose. My friend was also not impressed with her quiche order. The portion served of quiche seemed very small. After this lackluster experience and not seeing anything else on the menu that I’d want to try, I’ll probably pass on dining here again.

    Amazing brunch! The quality you get for the price you pay is awesome. The food itself was fantastic. For brunch time, the area seemed to be pretty safe, and up and coming too! Just be mindful and try to make a reservation or come earlier as it does seem to get pretty busy the later it is. It’s also all street parking, so be mindful of that too. Cute ambiance on the inside though, with nice outdoor seating too! Definitely recommend and would come back.

    A lovely little brekkie joint. The dining area is quite small but cozy. The food was simple and expertly prepared. Very tasty food and bonus, the coffee was really good, way better than your basic diner brew.

    Wait WHAT did you put in your mouth! (Said my taste buds) This kept coming up on my page. So here we go. This waffle was sweet and salty and crunchy and confusing but dam YUMMY! I’m not sure what to say but I will eat over and over. One of my recommended new spots. If your TRAVELING through Albuquerque stop in and enjoy good service from Brian. He made sure latte never got cold. And there huge cups 12oz. I will try each waffle each week and I will report in. As for parking, plenty of that too, The bad: I could not stay longer 🤷🏾‍♂️

    This place is alright. If you’re looking for something not too much or too crazy, this place is a decent spot. The food and atmosphere are average. Small building but seating is available outside - which, I warn with how hot it is currently out, is not so great. Add that, along with a very long wait time (just for the server to come over and take our drinks), made me not want to eat there, but I stuck it out. Again, the wait to get drinks was long, on top of the wait for the food to get to the table. Even when the food got there, I didn’t get all that I ordered. By the time I got through eating, I still had to wait (again). At that point, I just got what I ordered to-go, and the check took a while too. It’s a small place. It didn’t seem like there were many people there. So, either they were understaffed with servers or cooks because, again, there was a long wait overall. I wish I could say how the French toast tasted (that was the dish that took forever to come out), but it just went to waste. I will say the Latte was good. It tasted like one of the Starbucks glass bottles you would pick up at the supermarket but slightly better 😅. The waitress was friendly, that’s a plus too. I also liked the chili and sourdough, and jam. My final thoughts are whether any establishment offers outside dining, especially during the summer, and how the heat is above average this year. There should be some cooling system, like those mist fans or something. Will I go back to this place? On a scale of 0-5, 5 being a definite yes and 0 being a definite no, probably a 1. Try it out. You might have a better experience.

    The brunch was good it was on a very cold day if you’re going to eat outside you must bring a jacket because we were freezing. The coffee that was served was so good. I would definitely eat here in the spring time on the patio.

    The Farmacy is one of our favorite weekend spots! We love starting our weekends off here. Always awesome service and amazing food. The mimosa to share provides at least 3 glass for two, I would try to share with a group of 2-4 next time. Thanks for great food and service!

    Pshhh. Damn that was GOOD. Pork belly grits, Daisy duke waffle and biscuits and gravy. Got a small OJ wish I would have gotten a large. Had a few cups of coffee. Very good. Putting into my brunch rotation and can’t believe I haven’t eaten here before.

    A solid brunch spot. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our subs. The food was enjoyable and the lattes were great. Fast service and a little crowded but it’s to be expected in a small restaurant.

    On a Sunday morning this place was hopping. It was super well run though and the wait was shorter than anticipated and oh so worth it! The biscuits and gravy were delicious, well spiced with a pleasant kick of heat. My friend had the "Lemmy", a waffle filled with cheese and ham, topped with an egg. Both were delicious and the portions were big enough to give us a second meal each.

    The Farmacy really surprised us with its unique menu items. I got the French underground and my friend got the Lemmy. We were blown away by how good these unique food combinations were. The Brie cheese surprisingly paired well with the berry compote and waffle. The lattes were exceptional as well. Definitely give this place a try and trust that each item on the menu will pleasantly surprise you.

    This is a fantastic brunch spot. They've got both outdoor and indoor seating, but we opted for outdoor this time around. We tried the Old Fashioned and the Lemmy. Both were fantastic! The waffle was light, airy, and slightly crisp, which held up with all the other ingredients added to it. Can't wait to go back again!

    A new favorite of mine in ABQ that was suggested to us from a local. Great location off Central so you can walk around after, but the food is really something to write home about. Unique waffles that are shareable but could also be a meal and interesting plates. It was a little hot to sit outside, I think mostly due to the area we were in that was under a metal roof, but would still choose to eat in the heat because it would be worth it!

    This place rocks. I’m visiting from NY and these are the best waffles I’ve ever had. They have sweet and savory options. Great place for breakfast/lunch. Time to table is 👌🏻 and the staff are all welcoming.

    Evelyn is not only sweet but professional and courteous as well. Perfect demeanor and just a joy overall! Food was fabulous! Check out the ever popular breakfast tacos (red chile) and the Croque Maiden! 🤘🏼 They will tantalize your tastebuds! Request Evelyn and return often! The bloody Mary and peach Bellini are to die for! Drink up! 🥂

    I saw a review about this place being “fine” and that’s exactly what it was. The service was great, but the food itself was nothing too special. I ordered the quiche and shared a Brie and berry waffle with my friend. The potatoes were under seasoned and the salad was just spinach and a couple pieces of onion. The quiche was ok, but the crust was still a little too thick. It was hard to cut. Maybe it was an off day, because I’m more than willing to give this place a second chance. I will say though that the servers and staff were friendly. Just wish the food could’ve made up for it a bit

  • 4/5 Jason W. 6 months ago on Google
    Small but mighty, this place offers a nice mix of savory and sweet breakfast fare. The coffee was hot and plentiful. I had the biscuit and gravy and it was excellent, with green chilies for a nice local flavor.

  • 4/5 Moses J. 4 months ago on Google
    I ordered to-go. The waffle was absolutely tasty, but the eggs and basic were basic (just regularly). I also spent $23 on this food, on which I did not feel it was worth that price.

  • 5/5 Will M. 3 months ago on Google New
    this is my all-around favorite brunch spot in the city so far! you basically can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, and even on busy days they manage to seat me in under 30 minutes usually. seating can feel a bit cramped at times, but you gotta respect how fast these guys manage to turn tables. their pork belly grits and bloody mary’s in particular are a serious delight!

  • 5/5 lee c. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was great as with the service. Little different than a regular eggs and bacon place. Had an egg sandwich with potatoes and grits. Flavor was outstanding!!! Not an egg McMuffin by any means. Should I come back to New Mexico, I will stop by here again!!!!

  • 5/5 D'Aun F. 8 months ago on Google
    I will definitely be back! This place was awesome. I had their house punch (hibiscus, lime, and grapefruit with a side of simple syrup if it's too tart for your palate--I thought it was perfect as-is though!) and a waffle that had brie and berries on it. My friend had a cappuccino (they do the pour art in the milk foam for cappuccinos and lattes!) and the biscuits and gravy. Absolutely heavenly breakfast. Our server, Jasmine, was very nice. She was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive without being overbearing. We went on a Saturday morning for breakfast around 10am and it wasn't busy at all.

    Pretty new here to NM and IMO good food is hard to find being a southern girl lol but this place right here is amazing. Small cute aesthetic place for pictures if a content creator is reading this lol. The food was so pretty and tasted even better. Wait was like 5 minutes if that for us to be seated. They have a really cute patio outside with red tents and wooden tables. Our waitress Jasmine was really top tier and amazing, she kept a smile ALWAYS and was super attentive, didn’t rush us to order or to pay once we were done eating - just awesome all around. I even asked if they had chocolate milk before never looking at the drink options and she made it happen which I wish I could give an extra star for lol. Food was amazing. Bacon wasn’t too hard or too undone, it was seriously done just right. Waffle had crispy edges and fluffy and tasty. The way they stack the ingredients on these waffles is beautiful and it’s quick to get soggy and as much as I don’t like anything to get soggy I would seriously eat this just done or soggy lol. Tried veggie sausage for the first time that made me wanna turn vegan lol and eggs and grits were really good. My only complaint would be that New Mexico as a whole needs to stop just putting green Chile on everything (some places will tell you there’s green Chile IN YOUR ITEM, some places won’t and it’s annoying lol) there’s green Chile in the grits which is new for me but I didn’t prefer being that it was a kick I wasn’t expecting in something savory but potatoes, eggs, atmosphere, staff TOP TIER! I would go to this place again and again and again! Came here for my birthday and I’m so so so so grateful we my family and friends and I came.

  • 5/5 Alexandria K. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was very yummy! We loved that the green chile was baked into the items (ie biscuits), and it still tasted so yummy! Mimosas were yummy, but pretty typical. It was PACKED, but service was still good and quick. Pretty typical/average prices for café/diner.

  • 5/5 Jaime M. 1 year ago on Google
    The breakfast was great! First, don't be intimidated by the crowd outside, some are waiting specifically for an outside table. The wait wasn't too bad and worth it, especially on an early Sunday morning. I had the Pork Belly Grits, which has the traditional NM secret ingredient. The egg usually comes sunny side up, but I prefer overeasy, so I popped it to show it was cooked perfectly, adding gooey deliciousness to the grits, while the pork belly was an upgrade from simple bacon. The restaurant employes a friendly and helpful staff, with a variety of unique dishes that will be bringing me back for more.
