Slow Burn Coffee

I'm currently enjoying one of the best iced lattes to ever flow over my tongue. Freshly ground beans, roasted perfectly, balanced by the right amount of milk and ice. Delicious!

Slow Burn Coffee Roasters is a nice spot tucked away in an adobe building, which adds to its cozy, traditional New Mexico vibe. It's a great place to grab a coffee and enjoy the local NM atmosphere.Parking is convenient, with a lot to the side and back of the building. If the lot is full, street parking is also available, so finding a spot shouldn't be an issue.I ordered the seasonal 12 spice latte, and it was good. The flavors were well-balanced, with just the right amount of spice to complement the coffee. It's clear they put thought into their seasonal menu, which is always a plus.The reason for 3 stars instead of 4 is a small but notable service issue. The staff didn't ask if we wanted our coffee for here or to go. My wife's latte was initially made to go, and when I asked the barista to serve it for here, they poured the to-go latte upside down into a ceramic cup, which threw off the balance of the drink. While it wasn't a dealbreaker, small details like this can significantly impact the overall experience. I understand it was busy, but the drink should have been remade.All in all, this was a good visit minus some customer service issues, and I'd recommend Slow Burn Coffee Roasters for anyone looking for good coffee and a true Albuquerque vibe.

I just bought what I was told was "close to a pound" of coffee here. It was $25 which is ridiculous, but they are next door to me and I was out of coffee--and I figured I'd give it a try. like good coffee and good coffee is expensive. And I like to buy local. I didn't really pay attention to what they gave me back because I was in a rush. Well, I just got home, weighted my bag of coffee and it is 250 grams. That, my friends, is just over 1/2 pound of coffee (1/2 lb=227g). So we're looking at $45 a pound for this bag. I have been in many places in the US and abroad and I can safely say that while I have spent $30 a pound for coffee before--coffee that was exceptional--this, particularly for a relatively low-cost-of-living place like Albuquerque, is outrageous. Oh, and this stuff it turns out was roasted almost a month ago. So no, I'm not pleased with this. Oh, and they threw in a cup of drip coffee which was fine, but certainly did not make me think they are a top-tier roaster-brewer. The second star is because the folks behind the counter were nice.

This is a nice quiet coffee shop. It felt spacious. The tables are spread out with plenty of space between. There are some comfy couches near the back. Restroom is available. They have a really small parking lot. All of the unmarked spots were taken, so I found free street parking. I got the red chile chai because the name sounded so interesting! If I liked chai, maybe I would enjoy the drink more. I couldn't handle the spice, so I tossed it after a couple sips. RIP. My eating partner got the cold brew, which was pretty standard. I'd come back if I needed to get work done. They have free wifi. Maybe try a burrito for $7.

Super cute spot with tons of space to hang out and chat or meet up with friends or family. The people behind the counter were very friendly and welcoming. I didn't eat anything so I can't speak to the pastries but what they did have looked good. I had my standard Cortado and they did a nice job. They have parking on the side and back and some street parking. Nice place to meet up!

Ambience: the decor is weird and doesn't make sense but it's very roomy with lots of seating, tables, sofas and long table in the back for large groups. Service: I was greeted satisfactorily. I tried to smile and look the chick in the eye when I ordered, she wasn't mean or rude, but I wasn't feeling super warm vibes.Coffee: I got an oat milk latte. It was served in a ceramic bowl/mug. It was pretty good. Better than Cutbow, but not as good as Castle.The merch is very pricey if you're into that sort of thing...Parking lot is great.Overall I'd come back but it's not my go to in ABQ.

A friend introduced us to Slow Burn Coffee and I'm glad they did! My family ordered the Dirty Red Chile Chai, Matcha Latte and Spiced seasonal latte -- all with oat milk. All the drinks were delicious. The Red Chile Chai had just the right amount of spice! It was a little watered down, and I wish the espresso had been more pronounced. I loved the interior space. They have plenty of seating and the baristas are friendly and knowledgeable about their coffee.

Excellent coffee and cute place. But the barista who dresses like Che, as well as others to a lesser degree, are consistently mean and snarky as hell for like no reason. Why not just be nice?

Slow Burn! 821 MountainRd NW Albuquerque NM. Go Go Go (actually second time here, first review) Coffee amazing! This Breve was made with smooth, chocolaty bodied coffee. Brewed just right, creamy yumminess. Bean from El Salvador (orange, caramel, almond they say)Baristas make you feel right at home and very knowledgeable. Space bright and clean, feels cozy yet spacious.#Coffeeloversnomad

Bienvenidos, Popular cafe on a easy Sunday morning. Located in the Wells Park neighborhood. Enter through the artsy "Santa Fe" doors into the soul of this quaint coffeehouse. Welcoming baristas ready to explore the menu and roasted coffee offerings. Red Chili Chai. I mean your in New Mexico right?! Spices of chai warmed by red chili essence that hits just at the end. My beautiful coffee partner sipped on the Fall special, Lucky 13 Spiced Latte. Decadent, sultry and savory. A true fall winner. Soon to return.... Enjoy Amigos!
