Haven Skate Shop

Haven is an inviting and warm environment. We got to meet the owner, Emilia, and chat her up about the history of her shop. As a family we travel all over the west to skate and BMX. Having seen the cost of products at a variety of shops, this place is competitive. Emilia knows her product and gave some suggestions we haven't thought about.

Great place, very safe with armed guards! Enjoyed my time, no injurias but have a great time.

I have never been there and I really wanted a quality skateboard, how much would it cost, for a cheap one?

This is a great locally on shop! I recently had the opportunity to attend a workshop on maintenance of my skates. As fresh meat for the Duke City Roller Derby, this was extremely helpful. The owner, Emilia, did a demonstration and answered questions about maintenance and care for our skates. She was very knowledgeable and very friendly.The workshop was scheduled at noon, but I arrived a little early. It was on a Sunday, and I found that the shop doesn't open til noon anyway. Well I was waiting outside for the shop to open I had a chance to admire the quaintness of the place. It's an old home zoned for business. The business is surrounded by chain link fence that has been decorated with old skateboards turned art. I was in love with the look of it instantly.Inside, there is mostly stuff for skateboards. I know nothing about skateboards, but can appreciate the designs on the boards. There's also clothing, stickers , protective wear, handmade jewelry, and snacks. (Yay snacks!)I will definitely be coming back whenever I need something for my skates. Who knows, maybe I'll even try to learn how to use a skateboard.

Absolutely will not go anywhere else for my skate needs. Went in just to browse and ended up getting helped by Caesar, and he had great energy and offered exceptional and meaningful feedback and suggestions. Offered his undivided attention and showed me some great custom boards the shops is now designing and offering. He assembled the board I bought very quickly and it was overall an amazing experience. This is a must stop place and I encourage anyone with skate needs to shop here and BUY LOCAL.

Definitely a shop to visit in Albuquerque. Guy working was way nice and friendly. Surprisingly my boys and I spent over an hour there. Surprisingly because it's not that big of a shop and limited board selection. The only thing that would make this shop better would be a micro half pipe in the front

Waxed my board to perfection. Very reasonably priced. Good location. Professional and knowledgeable staff.

This place is neat! It's quirky and in, like, a house. I had an urgent need for a chain wallet (don't ask), so I called up and they let me know they had one left. I popped over there, the one staff person there remembered me (I think she was the owner), and bam, transaction complete. She was super friendly and chill, and while I was in a rush and didn't explore the store, it seemed packed with goodies and had a great vibe. I love and pass through Albuquerque all the time, and I'll definitely stop by here again.

My experience was wonderful, definitely will be coming back soonThey take " treat customers like family " to the next level they even recognize us after our first visit I personally really appreciate that. They gave us recommendations and sized me. They even adjusted my weels and stuff and taught my family about it. They gave me a free sticker ( prob cuz I'm little buttrtt)

needed some new wheels and bearings for an old board. lawrence was SUPER kind and patient explaining everything to us newbies and efficiently installed the new wheels too. such a great experience. going back soon
