Never quite a reason for me to drive downtown on its own, but I'll sometimes meet people at Slate Street Cafe for lunch if we need a solid and fast place in the area. The food is reliably good - not great. Good ingredients and tasty: you aren't going to be unhappy but the chow somehow never ever hits the "I can't wait to come back!" level for me. Part of that might be that portions are not particularly large - yet the prices are reliably at the warm end of things. Service is reliably good - although not warm. The room is attractive - but stacks of patio chairs stored in the hallway don't bring an upscale vibe. The owner knows her wine - this is a solid place for that. For me Slate Street teeters between "Okay" and "Good" . . . let's go with "good" in this review.

The inside is so aesthetic! Staff were friendly! Food was AMAZING. Definitely coming back for the all day breakfast. Highly recommend. None of those food chains could compare to this food it tasted genuine including the eggs.

If you're looking for a brunch spot that offers the perfect blend of atmosphere, service, and incredible food, look no further....Slate Street is absolutely incredible! We grabbed brunch here last Saturday around noon and could not get over the immense flavor packed into every bite. Don't miss the banana bread as a starter...it's slightly grilled and paired with whipped butter, simply divine!

Outstanding customer service, great environment and overall good experience however, the food was just okay for me. I had an omelette and it was good, don't get me wrong. It was just nothing to brag about or to make me want to come back and try something new on the menu. I don't like being super critical if I haven't tried at least three things on the menu so I'm not saying it's bad by any means, I just didn't have anything that was outstanding or exceptional with the meal, I still gave four stars for the incredible staff and overall dining experience.

Solid breakfast with a wee bit high prices, but I guess that is the new norm. There wasn't anything I took a bite of that made me say "Omg - I would crave this again", but the atmosphere was very cute. I really liked the colors and set up of the restaurant. The food was not very memorable, but it was good.

It had been entirely too long since having been here and I'm so glad to see that it's still around. It is as awesome as I remember. We stopped in for a weekday lunch when we were in the area and it was busy but not overly so. There was a nice off street parking lot which was nice as well. Hubby had the fish & chips (so glad they still have them which is what made love this place 10+ years ago!) and I had the egg sandwich with green chile chicken sausage which was sooooo good. Our waitress was fantastic, the prices were pretty reasonable ($5 mimosas too!) and just an overall great place for comfort food. So glad that we stopped by- it had been way too long.

Found this little place for a late breakfast after a walk through the rail yards with a friend. I ordered a grilled cheese with apricot chutney with no onions. Unfortunately the chutney had onions and I had to send it back. They were very kind about. Had just a grilled cheese on sourdough. It was good. I'll come back and try something different. It's super cute, loved the colors and the staff was super friendly. They have the shew fly fans which I appreciate. Nice indoor and outdoor seating.

What, a carnivore eating a zucchini-black bean burger!? Wife and I rarely needed much of a lunch after the AYCE breakfast buffets at the Hilton downtown Albuquerque. Came here after getting up at 4am for the Balloon Fiesta. Located in a residential area, just beyond blocks of law offices in downtown Albuquerque. Would not have found it unless looking for it. Large cathedral ceilings, two level restaurant, which included a loft. Bright, with large windows, airy and clean. My $15 veggie burger patty was made of zucchini and black beans. Flavor came with spread of cheddar, delicious corn relish, avocado, and green chile mayo. Had to eat it with a fork and knife, as the patty fell apart in my hands, a common drawback of veggie burgers. Tasty enough to satisfy a carnivore. French fries on the side, which would have tasted better unsalted, but firm and on the thin side, and flavorful. Wife had the $8 green chile stew with chicken and tortilla chip strips. Meal tasted just the way she fondly remembered after living 18 years in Santa Fe. Not often I write about burgers, let alone veggie burgers, probably the first this decade.
