Great place and the coffee is pure awesomeness. Yes, I do recommend it to everyone!
Zendo is the rare trifecta of carefully and deliciously crafted coffee, locally-sourced and delicious food options, and on-point service. It's a great place to spend a leisurely weekend morning.
While kicking around downtown I bumped into Zendo. "I think I've heard of this place" I muttered to my friend. Having now had the good luck to enjoy Zendo, I expect to spend more time finding reasons to go there.
The staff were exceptionally friendly, guiding patrons through different options and making suggestions when asked. The prices were very reasonable and the drinks themselves were magnificent.
The atmosphere is very casual, light background noise and a bright communal area is friendly and inviting. They also have a shared, partially covered patio hidden away behind the storefront. Protected from street visibility it is shared with Sidetrack brewing nextdoor. This patio is a gem with ample storage and both fans and heaters above.
This is truly a great coffee spot hidden away in a slightly odd, off downtown location.
The parking is generally easy, depending on when you visit, but it is all street parking.
They also sell a selection of pastries and burritos, I believe, but I cannot attest to them as I did not partake.
Swing by, grab a cup of someone delicious, enjoy the patio and start thinking about your next trip in. I know I am.
We stopped at Zendo one morning on our way out of Albuquerque. The coffee was the best we had in the city. The downtown location had a great ambiance with light and bright surrounds. The space was lively and active with a constant cue of people in line.
I had an iced latte, my husband had a cold brew, and we each had a croissant. The pastries were fresh and perfectly flaky. My only regret is that I didn’t have time to sit in the space and take in the good vibes of such a vibrant quality neighborhood coffee shop.
Delightful spacious and delicious Cafe! We both loved the Turkish Cafes. The wonderful artwork adorning the walls and plenty of greenery make the space warm and inviting. There’s also plenty of seating inside and outside on a covered patio.
Five stars! You Absolutely have to stop here. I got the Turkish cafe and it was honestly prob the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life and I’ve been to quite a few coffee shops. Highly recommend.
I had the Turkish latte and it was on point. Good latte art too. It's a little small and hot when the sun comes inside. What could be very nice on a winter day. I would come back for sure. The barista was quite courteous as well.
I know they don't actually make the burritos, but they do put them on a griddle to prep them which adds a nice touch to a delicious item. I had an Aztec latte as well and loved it. The staff was friendly and the space is chill. If I wasn't leaving today, I would absolutely go back. I tried 4 different coffee shops while I was here and this was my favorite.
The Zia latte is so good. I loved the open and airy atmosphere inside as well as the shaded outdoor seating. Super cute and great vibes here.
Amazon driver here, I dropped some packages off here and they asked me if I wanted a coffee (it was cold outside) I did a hot zen coffee with whole milk as recommended by the barista and wow it was so amazing! It was the perfect amount of coffee and sweet taste. I would stop here again for another cup and recommended to anyone.
I just said an unforgettable, dark roast espresso here!
If you’re looking for that strong, dark bold hit – this is it!
If you’re in the downtown Albuquerque area and you want a unique espresso experience, then definitely come to Zendo.
Spacious inside and out.
Five big stars.
Great coffee shop, cute vibe. I got a hot late, which was very good.
