Brunch is the ultimate mom date. Brunch is not too early and has delicious food and drinks. Whether you are meeting your girlfriends, bringing the whole family, or treating your mom on Mother’s Day, Albuquerque has a number of quality places to brunch. So get your cute outfits (or comfies, who’s judging?) and grab your people. Here’s our guide to brunch.


Thank you to Menaul School for sponsoring this guide.

At Summer @ Menaul, thye believe in the value of play. The most important elements of Summer @ Menaul are as follows: physical exercise and relationships, communication and cooperation skills, exploration and curiosity, problem-solving and adaptability, and imagination and reflection. They think kids need ample time that is under scheduled and that provides choices to develop healthy habits. As an alternative to screen or couch time, Summer @ Menaul offers a balance of activities that support social, emotional, and physical health. Students engage in a wide variety of activities without having to specialize in one skill or subject area. Summer @ Menaul is divided into two areas: Panther Camp for ages 5-10 and Adventure and Leadership Camp for ages 11-14. The cost of Summer @ Menaul is a weekly fee of $400 which includes everything: lunch, 2 snacks, Thursday field trips, and all supplies. Child drop-off is between 7:30 am and 9:00 am. Pick-up is between 3:45 pm and 4:30 pm. Aftercare is between 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm and costs $10 per day.  Summer at Menaul begins June 10th and ends July 26th. To find out more, check out their website.


The Grove

This locally owned and operated gem in EDo is one of the cutest places in town. (Flavored mimosas for the win!) The Grove offers indoor and outdoor dining, as well as the cutest shop of unique goods inside. (Try a bottle of their homemade fancy sauce.) An Albuquerque favorite for sure.

Writer’s Pick: Croque Madame

600 Central Avenue SE Suite A 87102

Open Tuesday-Sunday 7a-3p (opens at 8a on Sundays)

Campo at Los Poblanos

Albuquerque’s own little “Silos.” Los Poblanos does not just offer killer food but amazing views, an on-site farm, and their world famous lavender. (Don’t be surprised if you see lavender on the menu.) You will not regret ordering a Bellini.  Stay the night in one of their luxurious rooms and make an overnight experience out of it.

Writer’s Pick: Monte Cristo

803 Rio Grande Blvd. N.W. 87107

Breakfast served daily  7:30-10:30a (until 11:30a on weekends)

Slate Street Cafe

Another locally owned Albuquerque gem. This restaurant is tucked away in a neighborhood setting, right in the middle of downtown ABQ. They offer a quaint little patio, and made-from-scratch “comfort foods with a twist.” A great place to spend some time with your best girlfriends.

Writer’s Pick: Sausage Sliders

515 Slate Ave. NW 87102

Open Daily — Times Vary

Tia Betty Blues

Staying true to authentic Northern New Mexico style cuisine, Tia Betty Blues has been serving Albuquerque for ages. (They also opened up their sister restaurant Tia B’s La Waffleria, which probably deserves its own listing.) If you are looking to taste what New Mexico is all about, this is your place. (Plus they have a real flair for coffee.)

Writer’s Pick: Huevos Rancheros

1248 San Mateo Blvd SE 87108

Open Daily 7a-2p (opens at 8a on the weekends)

Farmacy

A fairly new ABQ establishment, Farmacy has gained a great reputation fast. With daily special, beer and wine, and so much more, there’s definitely something for everyone to enjoy. (Also, a great kids menu if the little ones are in tow.)

Writer’s Pick: Migas Scramble

3718 Central Ave SE  87108

Open Daily 8a-3p

Cinnamon Sugar and Spice Cafe

With two locations, Cinnamon serves both the NE Heights and Nob Hill. Their cozy patio is the perfect place to sip a specialty coffee (or a NM brewed beer.) Need more than just a quick brunch? Try one of their public cooking classes and learn how to make your own brunch magic.

Writer’s Pick: Carne Adovada Omelet

Mountain Run Shopping Center and Nob Hill Business Center
