Review Whiting Coffee - Albuquerque

Where have I been all my life?! I discovered this place after seeing an "A frame" sign on Osuna Rd. saying "coffee bar inside". I stepped inside and fell in love. All these bags of coffee and the glorious smell. Super cool coffee and tea products! And then I ordered an iced Americano 🤯. Super delicious and refreshing. The shots were pulled to perfection. The roast was spectacular (3700 blend). I ordered some Brazil and Honduras whole bean for home. Then I returned a few days later (Monday) and "sigh" the door stated "Closed". Aww man. So I returned on Tuesday. Ordered another iced Americano and again. Spectacular, perfect shots using a different blend! I've missed this type of coffee. I bought another bag of coffee (Peru this time). I hope to be a long time customer (even though I have other friends that roast beans, lol). I hope you'll reconsider to open Mondays at least until 2 pm or 3 pm. Customer service was great. Counter help was friendly and willing to help and explain the products. They definitely pulled some fabulous shots for my Americano! Thank you.

The coffee is the best and they have awesome choices of loose leaf tea. Customer service is wonderful. They were so kind and patient with my elderly mother-in-law also. Spoke volumes.

Been coming here since 2002! Fantastic coffee and accessories. I've never been led wrong at Whitings. They sell the best coffee on this side of the Mississippi (and maybe in the country). When I travel, I make sure to stock up here because I know I'll not drink a better blend anywhere else. Big fan of them adding a coffee bar inside; it's nice to have a shot of espresso to go.

Top 5 Best Coffee Shops in Albuquerque! Great flavor, Strong, and Friendly People. I have tried almost every shop in the Albuquerque area, this coffee is AMAZING.

First time there, I was given a warm welcome and told about the products they have and what they do. Great prices and great people. I wish I could give them 7 stars out of 5.

I had a great experience here. The staff are so nice and personable and friendly. The coffee is really good too. I ordered an iced caramel machiato with oat milk. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

So early this year my girlfriend (Laura) and I drove to California and back from Auburn, AL. It was a long trip and got to go to tons of cool places one of which was this coffee roaster! It was actually pretty serendipitous! We just happened to be in Albuquerque in the early morning hours and I saw that nearby there was a coffee roaster that had outstanding reviews that also gave tours of their roaster and had HUGE mountains of bags of raw beans. I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a better experience than just a normal coffee shop so I plugged it into the GPS. We got there and it was a really small operation but the people that worked there literally lived for coffee and you could tell they knew possibly everything to know about different beans. They were quiet and reserved at first but warmed up to us pretty quick and were more than happy to answer all of our questions and show us around. They took us in the back and showed us their coffee roaster and we got to meet the only guy who roasts the beans there. He told us he roasts it by smell rather than by time or by sight and has been roasting coffee for 25+ years!! It was nuts! Anyway the coffee was surprisingly cheap for freshly roasted coffee, like 8 or 9 dollars a pound and they had like 20 to 25 different coffee bean varieties from literally all over the globe and they could honestly tell you all the nuances of each variety and their source and anything. They were extremely cool people and I appreciated their passion so we bought one pound each of two different varieties. We didn't get to try it until we got home. We brewed a cup and both took our first sip and my girlfriend and I both looked at each other in amazement and were just like....."what the heck?!! There is no way this coffee is this good!!" Amazing coffee roaster and amazing people!! Please do yourself a favor and buy a bag, I promise you'll never go back to store bought coffee ever again!

Great little coffee and tea shop. Diverse selection of coffee beans and tea leaves, in addition to their drink menu. They also sell artisanal olive oil which I'll have to come back and sample next time

Best coffee roasts! Great variety of coffees. Can get the Beans or grinds.

Only place to buy, in Albuquerque the freshest coffee beans. Great imported jams and candies too. That review was from 2020. Today, the beans are roasted by a novice. Very inconsistent roasts from week to week. Several varietals have been dropped, and prices went up 40%. Im disappointed in the new Whiting Coffee after over 35 years of getting a great coffee bean.
