Castle Coffee

I like Castle Coffee. It might not be one of the spots that I frequent but I do enjoy their coffee.They have genuinely good coffee and creative offerings. But the base is good which is so important.Baristas are always friendly and they have a good selection of pastries.Seating can be harder to come by depending on when you're there but they have added more options including some outdoor tables for the nicer weather.

REVIEW #24!The lobby is open when the store opens. You aren't competing for staff attention with drive-through customers.Gluten-free pastries.Art and plants.$3.00 "Batch Brew" includes a refill.COMETH.

I was in Albuquerque with a friend this morning, and we were craving a good local coffee. We saw Castle Coffee had stunning reviews and decided to give it a try. We were far from dissatisfied with our experience. Upon entering the little shop we were greeted by the most cheerful barista I believe I've ever met at a coffee shop. She was bright and helpful as were the rest of the staff we encountered. The decor of the shop is quirky and tasteful. They have an adorable selection of locally made pottery mugs and art. Along with a selection of Fellowship of The Ring Pez. A wonderful touch that made me feel right at home. I believe Tolkien would've been proud if I do say so myself. After going over the menu we both settled on the PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte). It was the first of the season for both of us and wow. The coffee was smooth and tasted like it had real pumpkin in it. The sweetness was delectable. Enough to get rid of any bitterness but not enough to leave behind a nagging headache. Perfection. They also had a delightful small selection of baked goods. The Pistachio Croissant was the pick for us, and I fall short for words. They warmed it and it was buttery, nutty and sweet with exquisite flakiness. I could eat one of those joyfully on the regular. To end this review all I have to say is I hope I'm graced with the opportunity to come back to Castle Coffee in the very near future and hope you are inspired to give it a try as well!

This is my first time buying anything here. As many people have said, have said, the service is friendly and helpful. As I write this, sitting at Castle Coffee, the room is nearly full. Probably due to the fact that it is Labor Day, so lots of people are here. My kids, who've been here multiple times, tell me that the number of people here today is higher than normal. The atmosphere is nice. The ice Mocha I got tastes great. The Croissant looks like it will taste good. I have one demerit have to give here. I suffer from migraine headaches caused by bright lights. Because seating is limited, I have no choice but to face the large windows. The light coming in is very intense and painful, to me. Fortunately, I always carry a brimmed hat to help me prevent a migraine, but if I didn't have it, I would get a migraine sitting here, drinking my latte and eating my Croissant. One last thing, I like to check the speed of the Wi-Fi at every coffee shop I visit. Castle Coffee's Wi-Fi speed is phenomenal. (Check the associated screen capture.)

Great local spot with very chill vibes. Plenty indoor seating with free WiFi. There was a mix of patrons from a business meeting in a side room (available to rent for meetings!), to people reading books, or working on laptops. Staff was super friendly and helpful when deciding to try their bussin berry latte. They have every milk substitute under the sun (macadamia? Oat? Almond? They got it all!). I loved their community engagement featuring local artists and a table with local resources/events. Plenty of street parking in front. If you plan on driving here and camping out to knock out a few hours of work just keep an eye out for residential only parking, 1 hour only parking, and 2 hour only parking signs.

they used to sell breakfast burritos from Cafe Lush here, and i would go out of my way to get them because they were that good. they were also the perfect size and they would warm them using the sandwich press, so the tortilla had a perfectly slight crispness. today my husband went to get one for me and he didn't realize that the burritos now were different than before. these are not the ones from Cafe Lush anymore, and it was actually terrible. $9 for a vegan burrito that was really just a big lump of hashbrowns and mushrooms. i tried to be a soldier about it but couldn't eat more than 2 or 3 bites, while my husband took 1 bite and threw it away. sad day. at least their coffee is still good.

A small coffee shop with a limited coffee menu and even smaller food menu. A somewhat large transient population frequents this place. There isn't anything very memorable about this coffee shop; it's mainly just... there.

Plenty of parking space on the side of the street and plenty of seating space inside the coffee shop. Great environment to sit with friends, get work done, or just grab a coffee and go. They're also community-supportive by selling local artist mugs, hot sauces, and cards from local businesses. Great coffee selection, having a standard menu of different types of lattes, cold brew, Cortados, and other non-coffee items. I fell in love with the cherry bomb (which I say should be a regular standard on the menu). It was a great unison of sweet, sour and bold flavors. Cold brew lemonade is already a great coffee drink combination, but that cherry rosemary syrup just elevates the flavor to another level. Baristas are super sweet, and great to converse with if there isn't a line behind you. Definitely one of my top favorite coffee shops here in Albuquerque.

Coffee was really good I ordered a hot caramel latte with oat would definitely get their coffee again if I was in the area. The breakfast burrito was also delicious and unique compared to most breakfast burritos that I've had. The only thing I'd knock this place for is that I unfortunately had a long piece of hair towards the end of the burrito. I didn't have the courage to say anything because I genuinely enjoyed the food and coffee and I was 3/4 of the way through the burrito. That is why I have to take one star off, but it happens I would 100% order here again.

Great coffee and chi. Only bad thing is they're so busy they need more tables. Will definitely come back
