“Really cute coffee shop in the North Northeast. Plenty of indoor or outdoor seating. You have great mountain views if you sit outside. Wifi is really good if you're catching up on some work. It's pretty quiet during the week if you like reading, but gets busy on the weekends. Lots of caffe options, if you like variety. Great social spot for bicyclists or hikers in the area who want a little break before or after their adventure!“
“What a great and cute little place. If you want to have some time with a daughter or niece, this is the cute tea spot to go to. I ordered to go on this occasion, and they were making the Boba in front of me. The atmosphere was unbelievable, and I found myself smiling. The tea was delicious and very affordable, and the cup it came in was sturdy to bring home for further use. Will return over and over again!Parking: Large parking lot for the shopping strip.Kid-friendliness: Super cute and kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.“
“This was our first time dining here for dinner. They had a special St. Patrick's Day menu, but we opted for their normal offerings. For our appetizer we shared the Pan Fried Brie with Pears and Hazelnuts. It has some kind of brown butter sauce and it was the best thing we had all evening. My wife had the sirloin Picanha with chimichurri. The chimichurri wasn't particularly flavorful, but the steak was very good. I had the Blackened Ahi Tuna. It was very good. It came with some kind of avocado and citrus sauce and sliced potatoes underneath. I paired it with a good variety of roasted root vegetables. We had really good service and didn't feel rushed at all. We will definitely come back.“
“I grew up in the east mountains, and coming to the little cafe was a nastolgic little slice of home. Food choices were healthy and simple. Prices for food and coffee were spot on. I probably wouldn't have left the dining area until they kicked me out. Oh! And the staff was wonderful! Polite and friendly. Can't wait for the chance to come back.“

“We visited Boxing Bear our first night in town and we loved the location. VERY dog friendly, great beer and several restaurants in the same strip center so lots of food variety. I could see this as a very regular hangout for locations with all those positives. We will visit again when we are back in town.“
“We often go to Taste of India. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly and accommodating. My sole complaint is that it is too cold in the winter and too warm in the summer. They get a LOT of takeout traffic and so the food is constantly opening. Maybe build up the wall between the door and the dining room, maybe put thicker curtains on the windows. I wish they were more generous with temperature control. However… the food and service are wonderful!! Parking is plentiful, vegetarian options are abundant and delicious. The tandoori fish is tasty.“
“Nothing to really brag about. The burgers could be bigger and juicer and cooked the way I asked it to be cooked. It came back more WELL than MEDIUM well. I truly was expecting more for my money. The seating has no cushioning and my butt was killing me after only being there with friends for 30 minutes. It seemed to be run by teenagers and I'm always leery of that .“
“I have been going here for around 10 years. I typically get carne asada fries, occasionally carne asada tacos, bean and cheese burritos, and some other assorted things. My favorite thing about eating here is that for the past many many years, it is consistent, reliable, and the service is outstanding. If you are looking for a "neighborhood joint" for your Mexican food cravings, this is a great options.“
“Great food and great beer. Loved the Oktoberfest and my girl enjoyed the Pink Warrior. Was quite busy with trivia but if you can get a seat it’s definitely worth it. Trenton was serving us outside and was absolutely killing it! He had a great attitude and took care of everything and everyone promptly and with skill. Had to give that guy props! Would definitely return!“
“We went to O'Niell's Omar. Patrick's Day. The service was very good, given the size of the crowd. The staff were very friendly and helpful.and answered our questions whenever we needed to know more about what we were ordering. The food was decent and came out of the kitchen relatively quickly. Overall, a very good experience.“
“Pretty good barbequa and really good service (thanks, Miles).Vinegar based “Carolina” sauce. Not spicy, even the sausage. The most pleasant surprise was the side salad is the real deal.First time in - I’m a new regular after Sandia adventures.*** EDIT *** i just got home with the greene chile pork loin and my face is sweating ?️ ?️ (actual photo of its all gone although I meant to have it this weekend)“
“It pains me to modify my review of this place. But $47 for two plates and a Burrito and the food was subpar at best. Very small portions and they still forgot my order of tortillas. Not sure what happened since Superbowl Sunday but it's really bad.“
“Good food, nice place, decent service. Had the Grand Tomas plate. That plate is not for small appetites. Came with a cheese enchilada, red pork tamale, ground beef burrito, chili relleno, beef taco, with beans and rice on the side. It was so big it arrived on 2 plates! I thought I had entered into an eating contest. It was delicious with good chili and plenty of flavor. Try it out I think you will like it.“
“Dutch Brothers has so many drinks to choose from and I haven't found a bad one yet. Aside from coffee my current fave is sparkling water with blue raspberry, vanilla and coconut syrup and topped with coconut milk. Tastes like a blue snow cone.“

“The last time I went to Il Vicino. I had dinner on my birthday. Yes I went here all by myself for my birthday. You go up to the counter to order. Then they bring the food to you. I had their pepperoni flat pizza. All their pizzas are flat. They have pasta on the menu. They have great beer from Canteen Brewhouse. I had a IPA & water. I had a desert that the waiter bought me. It was a fun time for me. I will go back to this Il Vicino again. They do have 3 locations in Albuquerque NM.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian pizzas. They also have salads.Parking: I don't know if they have parking in the back. But it has street parking at the meters. But Il Vicino does have 2 other locations that do have plenty of parking for free.“
“My boyfriend and I have been going here for a long time, and they never disappoint! The food is consistent and good, and the desserts are the best part about this place. The service is great, everyone is very friendly! Only downside is it is a little pricey, but you’re paying for quality!Parking: The parking here during a lunch rush can be a little difficult to find, but any other time you’re able to find parking pretty easy.Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap spots available, and the doors are automatic! There are stairs in the restaurant, so you either have to enter outside from the patio to reach the downstairs, or from the main entrance to eat upstairs near the counter.“
“I love to stop here for beer and a pizza after a long day on the mountain….and sometimes I just drive up from Albuquerque because the vibe is great! Superb outdoor seating amongst the forest, occasional live music, phenomenal pizza and delicious beer! Rumor is the ideal spot for a pit stop when passing through Cedar Crest.“
