Albuquerque - CorralesLittle Anita'sTues-Sat: 7am-8pm
Sun-Mon: 7am-2pm (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: New Mexican
Little Anita's menu is New Mexican to the core, with enchiladas, burritos, carne adovada and stuffed sopaipillas. The red chile is generally milder than their green but is seasoned just right. Consistency, generous portions and fair prices make Little Anita's an Albuquerque mainstay—not to mention its many locations ranging from full-service dining to quick and easy take-out counters. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)
Satellite serves up not only coffee but also burritos, sandwiches, desserts and pastries. This is a good choice if you need a quick pick-me-up or you’re hungry late--it’s open until at least 9pm most nights. We recommend the black velvet which is a vanilla coffee with five shots of espresso. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Albuquerque - DowntownAM Spices of IndiaSunday 11:45am- 7:45pm

Dim sum and sushi under the same roof? It's like a dream come true. The beautiful interior of the antique filling station just east of the federal courthouse is a marked change from the cozy home interior of where AmerAsia used to reside near the University. Hyangami Yi's food is just as good as ever. Expect her familiar dim sum plates and buns, and feel free to order sushi like you've never had in this town from her brother Woo Youn. He's got all the usual sashimi and nigiri in his adjoining restaurant, but it's the original, creative rolls that really set Sumo apart—that, and the adorable little train that ferries your pickled ginger around the sushi bar. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)
On a Korean kick? This is the best place in town. Not only is the proprietress the absolute nicest person you will ever meet, but her food is heaven. Try the delicious bulgogi (Korean beef) tacos, refreshing udon avocado salad, hearty bi bim bob with Korean bbq chicken, tasty don kasu (crispy pork cutlet with curry) and the savory vegetable pancake. Also, don’t forget to ask for a little cup of the best green tea ice cream you will ever taste. (Alibi Staff, July 14, 2016)  Barelas Coffee HouseMon-Fri 7:30am-3pm

Closed Sun (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: New Mexican Full review: Coffee house provides piquant pastime (3/24/2016)
This homey New Mexican joint is popular, and though it’s much bigger inside than you can tell from the street, regulars pack the place tighter than a tamale. Barelas is known for huevos rancheros, and they are tasty here, slathered in particularly good red chile and served with a fresh flour tortilla.

Closed Sun (hours can change without notice) Read more: Locovore: Café Lush for life (11/10/2011)
Café Lush is like a daydream of the way things might be in some future hybrid of Europe and Albuquerque. It’s an urban café on a quiet street corner, with a small menu of simple, yet well-crafted, dishes and a pledge to use local, seasonal and organic ingredients whenever possible. But unlike in Europe, the red and green chile won’t disappoint. (Alibi Staff, November 17, 2011) In addition to the standard restaurant seating at the Hotel Andaluz, patrons can reserve the courtyard Casbahs for an ecclectic dining experience. Food and drink here are served by the resident full-service, Spanish-inspired restaurant, Más: Tapas y Vino. (Alibi Staff, December 17, 2014)  Cheese & Coffee Café DowntownMon-Fri: 10am-3pm

Sun: Closed (hours can change without notice) Full review: Dish Jockey: A World of Sandwiches (9/27/2012)
This spot has some 20 sandwich choices including a fruit and cheese, a gyro and a French dip awaiting the hungry diner. The Sicilian sandwich, a pepperoni, capicolla and mozzarella concoction on French bread is excellent. Try a slice of house-baked lemon cake with cream cheese frosting, moist and springy, with just enough lemon to offset the rich cream cheese frosting.

Cozy without feeling crowded and comfortable without all the trappings, Espresso Fino is a gem of a coffee shop tucked into a narrow building Downtown. A single man (but seriously, a really, really nice one) runs the register and espresso machine, working quickly but still managing a perfect pour every time. Order up your espresso and get snug near the small communal library or sit outside and watch the traffic of Gold Ave. pass by. Whether you need a quick fix or you have hours to spend, Espresso Fino is the ideal spot for a personalized cup of very fine joe. (Alibi Staff, July 12, 2011) Gatos y GalletasMon: 10am-8pm

The first cat cafe in Albuquerque offers the best locally sourced dishes to eat with friendly adoptable cats. If that’s not your idea of fun, you can eat your delicioso meal in the feline-free area of the cafe. (Alibi Staff, July 12, 2016)  Gold Street CafféSun-Tues: 8am-3pm

This charming café is probably going to be busy every morning we try to eat there but it’s totally worth the wait. They serve up a menu of homey breakfast favorites like waffles, eggs benedict, breakfast burritos, huevos and their gold hash plus more delicious options for lunch and dinner. We recommend the portabello mushroom sandwich! (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)  The Grove Café & MarketTues-Sat: 7am-4pm

This ray of sunshine in EDo serves gourmet breakfast and lunch, sells house-made English muffins, and has a mini-shop filled with goodies like honey, jams, mustards and vinegars, not to mention non-edibles like cookbooks, serving vessels and cards. A tiny wine list is just as chic—five reds and five whites are marked on a chalkboard, and all are constantly changing. This list is extremely well thought-out and offers a sampling of some of the most esoteric varietals and brands available in Albuquerque. There’s also a large, shaded patio, incredible house-made cupcakes and too-cute macaroons. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)  Hartford SquareMon -Fri: 6:30am-6:30pm

The menu changes weekly, but Hartford Square always features high quality, locally sourced food with both eat-in and take-out options. Salads are well stocked with fresh, seasonal ingredients, and there are always a few hot options like Canadian salmon or ratatouille pot pie. The tea selection here is simply divine. Try the Sandia spice tea, a steaming cup of the herbal blood orange tea or go big with a vanilla tea latte. If you’re early enough, you’ll get first crack at the crossword in the house copy of the New York Times. (Alibi Staff, September 12, 2013)  Ibiza at Hotel AndaluzMon-Thurs: 4pm-10pm
Fri-Sat: 4pm-12am (hours can change without notice) Full review: The view from Ibiza (5/30/2013)
This rooftop bar offers a breezy patio, a menu of small plates and specialty cocktails for those looking to relax after a long day at work (the kind where you wear suits!). The food is hit or miss, but the house-created cocktails—like the spicy-yet-refreshing cucumber-jalapeño margarita—make it well worth a visit. (Alibi Staff, October 10, 2012)
There are indeed “few choices left to get that cool Haight-Ashbury ’60s feeling.” Don’t get the wrong idea though, this neighborhood coffee shop isn’t overflowing with hippies. It attracts a diverse crowd of cyclists, artists, musicians, hipsters and grown-ups just looking for a cuppa joe (albeit one with in-house roasted beans). The food is simple and satisfying, from freshly baked scones to waffles, sandwiches and salads. Warning: The scrambled-egg breakfast burrito may cause you to moan out loud. Don’t worry though, the people sitting around you will understand.
