    My local friend brought me here and I really love the experience. It is connected to a bookstore. The inside is very large and air-conditioned. There is also seating outside on the patio. We chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful sunny day. They have a great selection of sweets. They also have regular meals. I ordered a coffee With a delicious lemon crunch cookie. My friend had a cold hibiscus tea with a bagel with butter and jam. Both were wonderful. The lovely customer attendant who served us had a wonderful personality. She was able to accommodate my request to have a week or coffee. The lemon crunch cookie was absolutely delicious and I wish I would’ve bought more to take home. My only complaint is my coffee was not hot. They have self-serve coffee and hot water as well so I tried to top it off with hot water to make it hotter, but still not hot enough. Regardless, I had a wonderful experience and I will definitely come back here when I return to Albuquerque.

    I just ate a delicious eclare as big as my face in their patio dining area! The cashier answered all my questions and took my order as soon as my look of contemplation changed to decision. An employee opened the door to assist me outside, as I was dining alone and was in high heels. I found a great spot on the patio and got to be entertained by an adorable Aussie pup that was joining her owners in the pet-friendly area. (Dog watering station provided!) The staff quickly got a to-go cup for the remainder of my beverage and I left with a satisfied sweet tooth. Thanks for making it a great experience. I'll be back with friends.

    We had lunch here after giving up at old town square which was packed. An interesting establishment in a strip mall on the “buffy” side of town.

    We ordered at the counter and the food was delivered to the table.

    We had egg salad sammy, fish & chips and stewpot chicken. Sides of eclairs, cookies and apple pie.

    Apologies for the not fast enough photos. We were hungry.

    Unfortunately the indoor dining was open to the outdoors on both ends. Because of that we were bothered by flies. Not our idea of indoor dining but the food was excellent.

    Flying Star Cafe remains one of my favorites when visiting the area. Although their pricing on their deserts remains a mystery to me as they are extremely expensive. I have worked in a pastry shop for many years and don not understand how they can justify those very high prices for the deserts.

    However, their meals and coffee remain well priced, and outstanding in quality! The menu is well thought out, plated well, and unique for the area. To add to this the staff is wonderful, and I have not had a bad experience there.

    Overall, I would not hesitate to eat there again on the main menu, but still hesitate to on their overpriced deserts as the quality and size cannot justify their prices.

    This was the perfect breakfast stop before heading back home. As soon as you walk in, you’ll find the menu conveniently displayed at the entrance so you can decide what to order before reaching the counter. The setup has a charming bakery-style café vibe with plenty of seating, a self-serve coffee station, and large open windows that let you enjoy the view while you eat. The atmosphere feels cozy and relaxing—just what you need to start your day or take a break from traveling. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of comforting flavors. Overall, a wonderful little stop that made our morning feel calm and enjoyable before getting back on the road.
