Satellite Coffee — Restaurant in Albuquerque

Not a really big fan of writing reviews, mostly because it is a waste of my time. Since I am actually taking time to review this place, it is going to be as snooty as I can make it. Here are my thoughts.

Thought 1: I’m beyond light or dark coffee. If I ask for the Ethiopian coffee I want the Ethiopian coffee. Don’t ask as a clarification. They also need to turn down the temperature on their coffee maker. It was to hot and I could taste that they burnt the grounds during brewing. Either that or they didn’t actually use Ethiopian beans.

Thought 2: If you bring my to go food to me on a plate, then I will be seriously considering taking the plate with me. Fortunately, for the business, I am a nice and patient individual and will wait for the barista to pack my food properly.

I tried Graburrito for the first time in years hoping for improvement. As before I found it very substandard in taste and texture. The dried out and over toasted tortilla made it difficult to eat. The interior contents were bland and dry, plus the horrible salsa on the side did nothing to help. Way too much money for a lousy product.

Bottom line is I might go there for a cup of coffee, but for me the food is a no go. I like value and taste in my good which I'm not going to find...

The salted Carmel blondie was amazing and the customer service from the person with green hair was better than I’ve seen in a long time. Mad respect for that cashier/barista!!! Thank you, from Sam Superman!!! I was having a really difficult day and your kindness helped me and meant so much!!! 😁 Definitely gonna stop back by one day I’m on the way to my therapy appointment again!! Thank you!!!

The only reason I rated “atmosphere” a 4 and not a 5 is because it was a little noisy in there for me cuz...
