Baristas that know their stuff! They use beans from local NM roasters which is a treat as a traveller. I had the fortune of stopping by during a lull and talked with them about beans and roasts for a good ten minutes! I heard great things about their lattes but went for the pour over with their Ethiopian bean and was not disappointed. Do yourself a favor and get your morning coffee or afternoon pick-me-up from this amazing establishment inside the Sawmill. When your barista can tell you the day your beans were roasted, the tasting notes, and vibe with you about all things coffee, you know you went to the right place!

Before the below data dump, my tea was quality, and my spouse described her mocha as "fantastic." The two stars are for the following: They offer non-dairy milk options, but charge significantly for them. A 16oz iced latte is $6.25, but to sub non-dairy (oat or almond) is $1.50. That's nearly a 25% upcharge for what is easily only 8 or 9oz of liquid. Consider about 2oz for a double espresso, 1oz for any syrup, and you've got 13oz of space. I observed them filling the cup 1/3 with ice, so about 5oz of ice volume. Considering a 48oz bottle of Califia Oat Milk costs approximately $4 at most WalMarts, thats only $0.0833/oz. That means 8oz costs a consumer $0.67. WalMart charges $2.84 for a gallon (128oz) of house brand whole milk, or $0.02/oz, meaning 8oz for $0.16. That's a net difference of $0.51. Even understanding differences in distribution cost and availability, they use Califia Barista products which retail online for approximately $0.09-0.12/oz. There cannot be a significant overhead for them to stock and utilize non-dairy products. It may seem petty to comment on the cost of non dairy options, but for those of us with lactose intolerance it comes down to paying significantly more for a coffee, suffering, or going without.

Great coffee. Maybe don't go and wash dishes after I place my order especially since it was clear that I was in a hurry. Little difficult to find. At one end of the food court. I don't have my bearings but I want to say that it was either the far north or far East.

Customer service is not their strong suit, will take my money elsewhere. The Coffee is ok.

Got a mocha latte and cappuccino - both with the *perfect* microfoam. We came here nearly every day on our trip to ABQ.

The coffee is here great and the staff is friendly and fantastic! Thank you Aziza for the great coffee and local insider tips on my quest to find the best breakfast burrito in town.

Amazing drinks. I’ve had gingerbread latte and mocha latte, both were 5 stars. Will return and try other drinks enthusiastically

I ordered large latte that tasted literally like milk, so when I asked the manager that was there she became rude and told me that the large drinks are mostly milk and that I would have to pay for extra espresso, I usually come here to get coffee but thanks to her not anymore

No visible crema, no microfoam. Shot tastes like it was a pretty long pull. Disappointing :/

Nice flavor of the espresso but milk was excessively heated and burned

Amanda's artwork on the cardimum white chocolate mocha. Also enjoyed the pumpkin brulee brevé latte with equally beautiful artwork on top. Cheers to coffee drinkers of the world! Our party of world travelers (today from Aruba, Ukraine and other adventurers) ❤️🌻🙂

We had two iced lattes. Excellent coffee! Very smooth, no bitterness. Some of the best I’ve ever had.

Not sure if it was a bad day at Plata or something, but I had a cup of Brazilian coffee here today...and it's the worst coffee I've had in the city. I mean awful. The brew was way too thin, the coffee has almost no flavor profile, depth or richness, and the finish is terrible. All that and it costs more than most local competitor's. I honestly had to go get another cup of coffee at a different local vendor to wash the taste out of my mouth. Beautiful space but not worth the money. Hopefully the food vendors will be a better quality.
