Cafe Bella Coffee

Very friendly and helpful staff, and I loved the Honey Coconut Latte plus the Chicken Pannini. Definitely will visit again.

We like to go here for Cars and Tacos. Drinks are always tasty and food is yummy. Prices are decent as well!

I live in Rio Rancho, so we love and support local restaurants whenever possible, however Cafe Bella needs to fix a few things before we return. We went there for the first time today on good reports from friends. We ordered chai tea for wife, and espresso with vanilla for me (wasn't what I expected but no worries, barista exchanged it for a London fog, yummy and sorry Satellite coffee, getting my fogs here from now on).

Now for a few things to fix please. 1. We came in to enjoy a meal in a restaurant now that things are open, we ordered our food, and were going to sit down but found that the tables had not been cleaned off, and there was actually food on one of the chairs. I would think in this season of covid that extra precautions would be taken to ensure cleanliness and extra sanitary conditions. It wasn't for a lack of opportunity either because when we came in there was no one else in the establishment.

2. There was a big bin of bottle drinks (and bottled coke, my favorite) I reached for one and all drinks were hot. So much for that idea, wasn't sure if container was broken or if maybe ice machine was broken, in either case it wasn't very inviting to select from a bin of hot bottled beverages. My wife said, ask if they have one refrigerated, indeed they did, but it wasn't good presentation having so many bottle drinks hot on display, let alone, how many hands have touched these bottles? (Maybe a better idea for displaying these if their not meant for consumption).

3. It was quite warm today (4th of July) and we stayed to finish our food and typically we'll hang around and play cards and enjoy the atmosphere, but there was no a/c in this joint, so right after we finished our lunch we headed home for some cooler temps. So please fix the a/c, as this will entice customers to hang out a bit longer and maybe order some dessert.
I was going to just email these concerns to the restaurant, however their contact button on their website is not working (silly wordpress sites), so I'm posting and will gladly edit my response if the owners of Cafe Bella have a response. Thanks.

This place is awesome and has some great specialty drinks! I would highly recommend checking out this locally owned café. The drinks are better than the food in my opinion.

Very good coffee. I was quite pleased with the quality

Breakfast bagels were just “OK”.

My husband and I absolutely adore Cafe Bella. And honestly, we just get so happy if we walk in and see Marie behind the counter. I excitedly opened up their front door this morning and there she was, bright eyed and bushy tailed! The atmosphere was so pleasant and you could feel the happiness. I haven’t tried the food yet, but the coffee is divine. I go in there with my youngest 2 yr old daughter, and they make her feel like a princess. We are always treated so well, we tell everyone who will listen about the great coffee and people at Cafe Bella. Thank you, Cafe Bella!

Seems like staff needs more training. Expresso was burnt, food was cold, service was slow. Was not worth $20 for two burnt coffees and a cold sandwich.

The carne adovada panini was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it!

Awesome coffee and food! If you have never been there on a Friday night I highly recommend it!

This place is a gem in a sea of Starbucks. We were looking for quality coffee and Cafe Bella has that! The barista was super friendly and helpful. The daily brew was fantastic. Really impressed. Will be coming back the next time I visit.
