Velvet Coffeehouse - Albuquerque

Great coffee! Great pastries! Great service! I tasted the Road Runner, the Hot Chocolate, and the White Mocha. All were good. Best was probably the Road Runner. Merchandise is well priced and cool. Fun place. Easy atmosphere. If it’s not raining, outside is a good place to get school and work done. Inside is a little tight, but cozy. A place where you just instantly like the people.

First off, the staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Bison hot; I couldn’t really taste the red chile, but it was delicious and velvety! The taste and texture was chef’s kiss

The blackbird coffee is possibly the best cup of coffee I've had ever, the combination of caffeine , dark chocolate and chile is incredible and something I've never thought to put together. The green Chile quiche was beautiful , buttery egg based filling that just kept getting creamier as you kept eating , the cinnamon roll was comfort in a roll. I've only been in America for 4 days now, but this has set the bar really high

This little nook of a coffee shop stole my wife and I’s heart. Yes, it sounds dramatic, but there is a romanticism that this little coffee shop holds. The decorations and art were amazing. The atmosphere was very welcoming and I could have stayed all day. The staff was sweet and helpful. The drinks were extremely creative and all sounded appetizing. I got the Black Bird Iced Latte which had Espresso, Red Chile, and Cocoa. The first sip was great but also very interesting. It took a couple sips for my taste buds to adapt and then after that, it was amazing. Espresso taste still present with the perfect amount of sweetness and spice. One of my favorite coffees I have had to date. My wife got the Roadrunner which she says is one of her favorites she has had as well. I definitely recommend this place and wish I lived closer. Great experience.

Blackbird is super charming. Built in an old patio plaza, this cozy coffee shop feels like it could belong in Seattle. The coffee was very good, and their menu was quite large for such a small shop. The service was friendly, and the vibe was chill. I could see this being a regular stop when visiting Old Town. I would give 4.5 stars if that were an option. Blackbird was very good, but I think 5 stars should be reserved for perfection.
