The Grove Cafe & Market

I haven't been here in years (precovid).
The food is as good as I remember it being.
The service was quick. Cashier was friendly. Order at the counter then sit type of service.
The place was packed, but we found a table quickly. The food was out fast as well.
The spices honey glaze on the sandwich was spice and tasty.

I'll be back soon and not wait years again

Such a trendy and fun eatery!

I came in for brunch on a Sunday and it didn't get busy until 930 AM.

I was a big fan of my omelette and the salsas that accompanied it. Everything felt fresh and wholesome. Would go back!

A few years ago, I wrote a review and gave pics of my meal. The experience lived on in my brain, always coming a few hours too late to visit this place again.
Alas, I should have left it as the memory I'd built it up to be.
Let me explain why before we go up in arms about it though, as my experience is not likely to be the same as others!
First, the staff are awesome. Tried very hard to accommodate my allergens.
The Cafe au lait was okay, but I ended up coming home and doctoring it up with my own creamer. Very bitter in comparison to last time I had it.
The wait was lengthy for a to go order. Multiple people who came after me, with cooked meals, got theirs before me. One table even consumed their whole meal and left. I came in around an hour before closing. Was there until about 10 til. So 50 minutes to get through line, order, get food to go. Plan accordingly and don't be me (had a 2pm meeting I had to take on the drive home!).
The chia yogurt granola creation has changed drastically since it was once strawberry. (See prev review and pic vs current pic.) Granted my granola was on the side and it had to survive a 12 min drive home. But still, it was just a sad, gross mess that tasted nothing like any of the things in it. I ended up not eating it. Like $13 down the drain. (You can tell they tried though! There was even cute flower petals on it. Clearly an ingredient problem not a cook problem.)
The sweet potato hash was better. Wouldn't call it $14 worth, but edible for certain! The sauce was lovely. Sweet potatoes tender. Cauliflower good. Didn't eat all the mushrooms though as there were a lot.
Overall, staff tried, food was okay, but my memory should have stayed as a memory it seems.
Bring time, $, and adventure and you'll probably be okay.

Possibly my favorite brunch spot in ABQ! I've visited twice now and each time the food was great. I was a little timid visiting because I've been told it's always busy. There are tables inside and outside however, you are not allowed to save a table before you order. Surprisingly enough, by the time I got through the line and ordered, there were tables cleaned and available. The second visit, I sat outside with my dog. Recommend

Flawless. Yes flawless. The food was amazing, service friendly and the place was warm, fresh, and inviting. Could not have asked for more. Had the pancakes and sweet potato hash. Great latte.... Great everything. .

The raving reviews of this place do not disappoint. I was only in town for a half day and this was a great spot to grab some brunch. I couldn't decide between the pancakes or the pesto and mozzarella sandwich....so I got both! You can add a side of a pancake for like $5 - worth it. The pancakes seemed closer to crepes to me, still as delicious. Came with a nice amount of fruit on top in addition to the crème and syrup. I didn't even use the syrup.
The sandwich was tasty but small. So if you're looking for a more filling meal you may want to go the route of adding something else. It does come with a small kale salad which was fresh and tasty.

Unfortunately I didn't try any of the cupcakes but they all looked great.

The setup is a little different- more like cafeteria style. You go up front to order your food, they provide you with a number, and bring your food to your table. There's seating inside and additional seating outside - fully covered and partially covered spots. Parking lot is quite small and is a one way route so be careful and may be easier to park on the street

Amazing!! You would never know how good it is looking at it but we're so glad we stopped. We got a breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich, a side pancake and a side of sourdough. The fresh squeezed orange juice was yummy too! Perfect way to start the day!

If you're looking for a healthy meal to start your day in Albuquerque, look no further!

I was in town for a conference and decided to stop by with my colleagues for brunch. I ordered the sweet potato hash bowl and iced vanilla latte. My meal was fresh and hearty. We loved it so much we ended up coming back two days later and ordering the same thing. It's in a prime location since it's walking distance to various hotels.

You order at the counter before finding a seat either inside or on their outdoor patio. Although the lines can get pretty long, they move quickly. Once you finish your meal, you leave your plates at the table and the staff is quick to clear it for the next guest.

I would definitely stop by again if I'm back in town!

First visit--tried their special Passionfruit French Toast. The passion fruit reduction was great, wished it was a bit more tart to pair with the whipped cream. It ended up being a lot of the same flavor, sweet passionfruit reduction, with sweet whipped cream, with even sweeter maple syrup. I hardly used the syrup cause it was too much sweet. If the passionfruit reduction was tarter and there was more whipped cream on top would have perfected this dish. Also for an entree this was quite a small dish and wished I would have ordered a side to go with it.
My friend ordered one of the breakfast sandwiches and I wish I would have ordered that! Will for sure order that next time.

Everything was delicious. Although crowded the line moved nicely. Great customer service:)
