Cinnamon Sugar and Spice Cafe

I had not been here in a while! I noticed a new side room added with more tables and chairs and noticed that they serve dinner! I'll have to try! I met a friend for breakfast, and I had the pile-up. It was 2 eggs cooked my choice over hash browns, bacon, sausage, cheese (I think), lettuce, tomato, and green chili (red and Christmas were options). I totally enjoyed this dish--a popular one so said the counter clerk. The eggs sunny side up were cooked perfectly, and it was a nice mix of all the ingredients. I wouldn't say the bacon and sausage were too much, but it seemed scattered enough in the dish. I wanted to stay a way from carbs, and this does the trick. I left feeling just right and not too full. The menu has many great options of teas, food, and desserts. You order at the counter and take a seat. Someone will bring the food. Clean, friendly staff, and I didn't have to raise my voice to carry on a conversation despite a fairly full dining room. Recommend!

Went back again! Still amazing! Here's more pictures of what we ordered. The croissant sandwich and the chicken fried steak. Brought my husband here and sat on the patio, it was lovely. He really enjoyed the food, restaurant, and vibe. Says he will return, which is rare.

Three of us dined and everyone loved everything. I ordered the Lox-Avo Toast and it was very good. Service was friendly and food was ready in good time. Also, I LOVED that a tip percentage didn't pop up when I paid.

I do not get the hype, but I have to come here monthly for board meetings. I have tried the food, it was just okay. It is a place where you have to know the menu, what is in the items, and what you want because there is absolutely no description of anything for the menu or drinks. I just instead get black coffee now and order elsewhere. Our monthly board meetings could be a nice table for a waitress if it were more traditional and if we got some sort of service.

Talk about cute! We visited on a recommendation from local friends during our stay in Albuquerque and were not disappointed. They have a dog friendly patio with awnings that provide as much shade as possible. My son had Johnny's chocolate chip pancakes with sausage and they were outstanding- so fluffy!! I had the heuvos rancheros with Christmas chilis (red and green for anyone like me who can't make the choice)- they were fantastic and I was full all day. My husband had the breakfast burrito and said it was delicious. It was also huge! They had some yummy sweet treats inside but I was way too full to consider eating anything else.

Very nice little coffee shop with a delightful atmosphere and menu for breakfast, brunch or lunch. I had the Belgian waffle with fruit which was delicious! Nice people, nice atmosphere and great place to relax and unwind or chill!

Closed despite advertising that they are open. Bad management showing no interest in customer care!

This place is beloved, and I just...don't understand? It's got a fun eclectic atmosphere and a menu with a large variety, but...do you have to order each thing to find out what it is? The 'title' of each dish is written on a chalk board behind the counter, but am I supposed to sand there and ask the cashier for details on every dish I might be interested in? Or do I just order the "Paseo-Pile Up" and get surprised by what I receive? Especially when they're busy, this seems like a poor way to provide a menu. It was overwhelming. And the food was...fine? It wasn't bad, but it doesn't rank against some of the other New Mexican food we have in our city. I'd much rather drive 5 more minutes for a breakfast that tastes authentic instead of like someone from Texas tried to replicate New Mexican cuisine and forgot to add spices (like Texas does). Oh man, maybe I just found the answer to why it's beloved. Is everyone who goes here religiously from a bible belt state? I'll see myself out.

On the NE side and ready for breakfast, a quick check has this place a short distance away - so here we are. We enter a somewhat noisy restaurant. Menu on the wall makes ordering at the register easy. French toast for me and lox & avocado for my better half. The French Toast was great - topped with pecans & cinnamon. A little syrup went a long ways. The avocado toast was covered with mashed avocado topped with lox, tomatoes and capers - a flavorful treat. There was plenty of food remaining on the plate when we were done. My complaints weren't food related - it was loud, really loud. It was compounded by metal chairs sliding on a concrete floor. Be prepared for noise - ear plugs may work

.........I enjoy breakfast here 3-4 times per weekI try to be a loyal customer and tip the staff generously But I need to remember the pecan rolls, offered on Tuesday aren't fresh ... since the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday ... the rolls originate on Saturday. Not enjoyable the last two Tuesday visitsThe staff is AMAZING here - really great people doing their best to cover the "way over 50+ crowd" of guests effectively.Quick Note:Some of the really poor reviews of this restaurant are actually a review of the Nob Hill area location - which has recently closed. Not an easy spot for a restaurant for many reasons. What I can say out about this location on Juan Tabo ... 1. Good quality food2. Nice atmosphere 3. Exceptional Staff 4. Steady, Consistent, Reliable experience Fair pricing and for us in High Desert - a really good location
