Marigold Café

Are we embarrassed? The Marigold Cafe has been open for more than a few years, and we did not know it. How could that be? Well, we rectified that oversight and went there for a most delightful experience in food that is guaranteed to satisfy even the most discerning palates. Located near Cabela's in Albuquerque's Northwest quadrant, you will not regret joining them for breakfast or lunch. Excellent service, exciting atmosphere, and fresh ingredients make this one of our latest favorite places to eat.

3 Stars = OKEverything was good. Not a bad experience. Nothing was memorable or crave worthy. I do recommend their Mango Lassi. Solid place for a quick stop with some small bites. As another reviewer described accurately, "Walk in. Order. Sit. Wait a bit. Eat. Leave."It's straight forward. Enjoy!

Down a street I had never driven down until yesterday, I found this hidden gem by searching Yelp for vegetarian cuisine. Marigold opened in 2019 and survived its closure. They provide a clean atmosphere along with outdoor tables on a well-covered patio. They are open until 2pm so as I arrived at 1:30pm, I knew that I could have to leave soon. The size of this salad was more than I could eat so I took the remainder home. Tomato Bisque is served around town and this soup was just as tasty. The staff was friendly even as they were preparing to close. I did not feel that they were rushing me out the door. I'm making this one of my go-to joints.

Tried this cafe today 6-22-24, absolutely delicious and fabulous. My daughter had the breakfast Indian taco w/carne adovada. I had chicken pesto panini with a salad and Xmas chile fries for an appetizer. All so tasty, fast and friendly service. Very clean. I asked how long they have been in business, they said since November of 2019, I am soooo glad they survived the pandemic!!!!!

Very interesting fusion concept. The caramel latte was nice and strong. I ordered the chicken tikka masala. The curry itself was pretty good. I don't think it would beat a full blown Indian restaurant but good nonetheless. The naan smelled like Tabasco, which was different kind of chili than I was hoping for. I thought it was chile. The rice wasn't very flavorful either. But this entree was $13. I'm happy for what I got for the price I paid. I'd come back again and try another thing on the menu! The service was nice as well.

California gal heading to Texas and stumbled upon here to eatFood: The Marigold Salad was exactly what I needed during a road trip seeking a healthy option with many veggies. Perfect presentation and combo of flavors - crunchy romaine lettuce topped with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, chickpeas, avocado cubes and feta cheese tossed in cilantro pesto. They gave an ample portion of salad and cilantro pesto on the sideMonte Cristo was a delicious favorite too. The nicely sliced grilled ham, cheese and raspberry jam on a fluffy flakey croissant were very complimentary in taste. It came with a side of fresh fruit to clean the palate They had a baked goods selection in their pastry case which are from a local bakery Le Chantilly and are delivered on a daily. Drinks: Hot almond milk latte with cinnamon and cardamom was great. It reminded me of a cafe de olla with real canela / spices plus the creamy milk. Their choice of espresso beans were smooth pulling thru the drink and not acidic on the tummyIced almond milk vanilla latte was good just a bit too sweet maybe half sweetener. The sugar disguised the espresso more, but based on the hot latte I knew their espresso was substantial. I asked for light ice and they still filled the cup to brim level with milk (California will charge or not fill the cup when customers ask for light ice)Environment: clean and spacious with indoor & outdoor patio seating. The inside had AC and different arrangements of seating. You order at the counter and find your own seatingService: The server/barista was helpful and graciously answered our questions. Our order came out ASAP Overall: A well pleased Californian on her way to Texas and will stop by if ever again in Albuquerque :)

I lived in Albuquerque for about 15 years and this was my first trip back for balloon fiesta in about 5 years. We stumbled in the Marigold Cafe and I'm so glad we did. I love Carne adovada and it's something I cannot get in Indiana. When I tell you that this is probably the best I've ever had... I'm not exaggerating. I am headed back to Albuquerque in a couple months for my high school reunion, and I am definitely looking forward to going back and getting the exact same meal that I got. I also got a latte and it was excellent. Everyone there was super nice and the food was very good.

I enjoyed the Iced Chai w/Oat Milk; the Navajo Taco and NM Chilé Cheese Fries. Welcoming staff. Well done!I recommend to those visiting New Mexico & want to taste the flavor of our cultures' traditions.

First time here and it was a good place to have lunch with friends. One of our friends goes there every week for breakfast and says it's great! I had the grilled green chili chicken sandwich but didn't care much for it. It was swimming in an aioli sauce that I didn't care for. Liked that they gave you a good option for sides with your sandwich and had a good side salad and also tried the sweet potato fries which were yummy. You do have to go up to the counter and order but they bring your food to the table. Decent place to try.

Cute little cafe! Helpful, friendly, enthusiastic staff. Sweet potato fries were DELICIOUS. My only complaint would be my chicken was a little dry/crunchy on the pesto sandwich and salty.
