The Human Bean - Albuquerque

This was a great homecoming of sorts. I used to get beverages all the time from The Human Bean when I lived in Greeley, Colorado. (I even have a now obsolete punch card in my wallet to prove it) It 's been two years since I 've had my coffee with a cute little chocolate covered Espresso bean on top, and that wait came to an end today. The staff at the Albuquerque location was very friendly, and the drink (and the bean) brought back a ton of memories ?? They even gave me some stickers free of charge. Check out this gem of a coffee stand when you get a chance! My only complaint is that it 's so far removed from the rest of Albuquerque, that it 's virtually inaccessible unless you have a car. But well worth the trouble to get there, I can tell you that much!

And got to try some coffee from here when we were ballooning nearby and was not very impressed, very similar to the burned coffee taste from Starbucks. nobody that went with us finished their coffees. Pretty small facility and it looked like they were quick to serve everybody that was there but I don't think we would come back

I've only ever had one drink from Human Bean but it's so good that it definitely warrants a 5 start review. The Java Chip Frappuccino type drink they have there is absolutely delicious. Its easily twice as good as any Frappuccino at Starbucks or Dutch bros, and I'm saying that as someone that used to go to Starbucks regularly. The Java chip at Human Bean is so good that even after ordering like 20 of them I can't bring myself to try anything else there because its just too good. Compare the ingredients Human Bean is using in their Frappuccinos, much higher quality at Human Bean. If you're craving a coffee version of a milkshake Human Bean is clearly the best. Pleasant staff there too.

2nd time I've been there in 2 weeks! Both drinks I've gotten have been great (caramel hazelnut mocha and java chip) and the customer service has been great. I absolutely love the little espresso beans they provide with my drink. I'm glad I have a coffee shop less than 10 minutes from my house. I plan on trying a different drink each time I go! Highly recommended! ?

Nice brand new small place. Customer service was on point- friendly and easy going. Ordered a small Breve latte. Half and half was over steamed, it was not nice creamy decadent micro-foam but rather almost like regular hot milk. Shots did not shine through either unfortunately.
