Heatwave Coffee

What do you do when you need caffeine STAT and you're in Albuquerque? You go for Yelp to help and find the cutest cafe in town. Heatwave Coffee is properly named, has everything you need for your coffee fix, and feels like a small town coffee shop you should support out in the desert. I loved the seating, the plants, and of course the coffee options. They have specials and the usual. I got their Vanilla Bean Iced Latte and the Iced Mocha. They have milk alternatives if you need, free parking, and there's a cat cafe right around the corner. What more could you want? Oh great quality coffee? Well duh. Yeah you won't be disappointed.

Coffee boutique places have popped up like breweries in New Mexico so of course let's give local a try. The apple cider was so good! Made for my granddaughter and the chair equally as good. Service with a smile and I loved the simplicity of the place. Give it a try. They tend to be a bit expensive but that's okay for the once in a while treat!

Cute coffee shop with nice interior decor. They use little bear coffee so if you're looking for it outside of their two locations, you'll find both drinks and beans for purchase here. Their latte is consistent with what you'll get at LB which is a compliment. Prices on the drinks are reasonable and the folks behind the counter were very friendly. protip: if you're navigating from apple maps it will direct you to a different location. Heatwave is located in a strip mall right beside starry moon, so it might be easier to navigate to starry moon to get here!

Albuquerque has a pretty great coffee scene, but the NE Heights neighborhood has been sadly lacking in spots - until now. This coffee shop is adorable, comfy, quick and delicious. Highly recommend trying their Vanilla Bourbon Latte both iced and hot. A great place to meet up, take your laptop to get some work done - there's plenty of seating and even some outdoor tables. The barista staff is super friendly and helpful if you don't know what to try. If you enjoy Bristol Donuts, you'll be happy to find them here at the counter as well as a small burrito selection. Definitely recommend checking this spot out!

Had the pleasure to support since the grand opening. Heatwave coffee has plenty parking spots. Simple logo design (which makes it more eye-catching), very modern simplistic design internally. The light tan wood allows any of that green component to pop. The green component includes grass, flowers plants, and even they're Matcha display. Their standard menu is full of classic coffee shop staples. This includes a lattes, cold brew, cortados, and tea options. They do have a seasonal menu, typically gear to the holiday or the season. They definitely have some hard hitters on that menu. And if you have a sweet teeth, they have an amazing array of pastries. The barista are always smiling, and patient even when taking my time looking at the menu. Definitely a coffee shop worth visiting, grabbing a coffee, going on a date, or just simply studying.

Such a cute little coffeeshop! This area of town has been needing some good local coffee finds, and Heatwave fills that perfectly. Their current special, the coconut cream matcha, is a great summer drink to cool down with. Baristas are super friendly and sweet! Can't wait to try more of their drinks.

Fantastic coffee and treats! My go-to order is their vanilla bourbon latte and a warmed cinnamon roll. Highly recommend if you want a coffee or to work/study!

They brew little bear coffee. It's the best! Vanilla bean latte was amazing and was made perfectly.

Tepid, overpriced mocha. It was also deafeningly loud, but they turned the music up even louder, and then the barista was banging out coffee ground against, I guess, a snare drum. It seems popular, but it's not for me!

Good coffee! But I had asked for just a tiny bit of syrup and it literally tasted like a was just drinking syrup :( way too sweet! Also the barista acted like I had just kicked her dog or something...
