Satellite Coffee

I love this place! I'm on vacation in Albuquerque and keep returning. The atmosphere is lovely--warm lighting, pleasant colors, lots of different seating. There are booths, cozy arm chairs, bar stools, and a little fireplace. The store is never too loud, just some light chatter in the background that kind of completes the café ambiance. There is also outdoor seating if you want to sit in the sunshine. The baristas are so friendly too! You can customize your drinks without the price shooting up and they are so helpful to answer questions or give advice if you're not a coffee connoisseur. I like the get the cappuccino with oat milk. I can't have dairy, but they had at least three milk alternatives. The cappuccino is SO good! This is my go to drink anywhere I go, but this is one of the best I've ever had. So smooth and creamy. The foam is perfect! You can get wet or dry foam, too. I also ordered the iced ginger cookie. It was amazing! So big and the perfect balance of crispy edges with a chewy inside. The flavor was great too--just the right amount of spices and sweetness.

I came to Harvard and was eating my turkey jacks and I spilled my Mucho Grande Turkish Latte. All over the floor. I work in the industry and I had no problem cleaning up my mess because the guys were busy. I wasn't going to ask for another drink. Then Elliott appears and asked if he could replace my drink. What an amazing Guy!!! He made my drink again and brought it to me. He also super polite. Thanks 🙏 Elliott. YOU ROCK!!!!!

Consistent, friendly, and nice coffee and food. Miss the days Satellite was open until 10/11pm. Having a later coffee shop in town that isn't Starbucks is one of the things I miss most about the pre-pandemic world of Central Avenue. Hopefully there are plans to have evening hours once again. Worth a visit.
