Castle Coffee

Castle coffee is the best in all ways. Crazy good coffee and the nicest staff in all of Albuquerque. Such a great vibe. They make everyone feel like a regular ❤ Also want to mention that they have vegan and gluten-free options every day.

My partner and I love this shop. Simple, supports local, isn't pretentious, and has great coffee. This is the only coffee shop my partner will go to in Albuquerque!

Stayed a couple blocks away on my train trip to Albuquerque and stopped in every morning. The coffee and pastries were always excellent, but the super friendly staff here really set the place apart. By the time I left coming in was like catching up with old friends. Downtown Albuquerque is truly blessed to have such a wonderful neighborhood coffee shops run by such genuine people.

One of the friendliest coffee shops I have ever visited! I was having a rough travel day and unexpectedly decided to stop in Albuquerque to wait out some highway traffic. By total chance I ended up coming here. The social atmosphere and genuine interest the staff has in their customers is outstanding. The owner, Josh, mentioned that his passion is to create a coffee shop that truly feels like a neighborhood gathering place - and he has succeeded. Visiting Castle Coffee turned my whole day around. Thanks Josh!

Yes. Homemade syrups. Bomb. Steve, Josh, great music, amazing pour-overs, the best cortado. Yes YES

Visiting from Philly, and the coffee tops most any of my local shops. The cold brew was strong and fruity, complex in flavor. The baristas are very kind as well, laid-back atmosphere.

One of my favorite coffee shops in ABQ. If I lived closer I’d be here all the time. Fantastic owners and staff who are dedicated to their craft and extremely friendly and kind. Excellent coffee and real sense of community in here. They carry amazing pastries from The Witching Flour too! If an expansion of the tiny space or a second location is ever on the cards I will be excited to see that. As it is, it’s a lovely spot with simple charm offset by, apparently, the worlds largest pointillist mural. Check it out if you go!

Perfect location. Perfect size. Homey. And perfect vanilla latte! I really don't like coffee very much lately, but after tasting the vanilla latte I am hooked! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. If I could give Castle Coffee twenty stars then I would!

This was THE BEST caramel latte I've ever had in my life. Great price & Ridiculous value.

I was having a little bit of a rough day walking in and the people behind the counter was so great I honestly walked out of there with a smile on my face and that latte was the highlight of my day.

I went back 2 days later and got two before leaving town just to enjoy it as much as I could while in town.

Very kind and friendly people. None of that "too cool for school" vibe one frequently encounters in coffee shops which can be off-putting. The coffee is decent, depending on which barista you get, but the community feel makes up for what the coffee's (sometimes) lacking. Plus they're going to be roasting their own soon, so I expect it will only get better.
