Satellite Coffee - Albuquerque

I love the coffee here and come here to relax. I don't like being held hostage by you allowing fund raisers to camp out at your front door. I get enough of that from every grocery store I go into. I want one place of peace and this used to beit.....I changed my review to 5 stars. The owner responded to my review and stopped allowing find raising.

We like to try different coffee places on road trips, and although this is a chain, it's not one we have near where we live in WA, so decided to try it out. The place is cute; I thought it was kind of like a hippy Starbucks (meant as a compliment). It hadgreat vibes and was very clean. Our barista (didn't grab his name, unfortunately) was really friendly and welcoming. My husbandordered his standard hot vanilla latte and said the flavor was similar to Starbucks, but maybe not quite as strong. I decided totry something new (to me): A Mexican latte (made with brown sugar and cinnamon). It was delicious! If we had one near our home,I'd definitely go back. Very reasonably priced.

I really want to like this place, the space and layout are really great, lots of comfortable places to sit, sadly it's just not going to be what I want. The drinks are never quite good, if you get a drink here, stick to something simple or you willprobably be disappointed. Ordered a burrito as well and half of it was inedible because the tortilla was rock hard on theends. Also one additional note, this location seems to be a beacon for a lot of boomers, so bring headphones or you may besubjected to hearing some truly hateful and depressing conversations. This has happened to me more than once here.

Really cozy and intimate location, great for meeting up with someone, doing some work, reading a book. I ordered the Turkish latte which reminded me of chai, and a breakfast sandwich. Both were delicious. Prices were a little on the high side and thecoffee beans on sale were roasted about two months prior, which is quite old.

I've been coming to this location ever since they opened and when I lived here. I always get the Black Velvet and it has been consistently good every time. I love this place and the coffee here. They have safety dividers now, free parking and wifi. You can sit in or out, you can buy beans to brew at home if you wish. You can buy food but I go for the coffee and recommend you do the same and try whatever you see that you like. I don't believe you can go wrong.
