Cafe Lush in Stockton-on-Tees

Small little breakfast joint with big flavors. We had 2 lattes and an americano to start. They were excellent. Breakfast burrito was delicious. Both the red and green chilis were perfect. Almost forgot to get a pic because we were starving.

Great gluten free options, the chai latte is amazing and they treat you like family

Great food and service. Had the Mexican pizza 🍕 Was delicious 😋

Great place for brunch on a Saturday!!! Amazing food and awesome staff! Definitely a place to become a regular at!

I'm in Albuquerque for a few days and wanted somewhere for breakfast every day. I was wonderfully surprised to find Cafe Lush, with great food, wonderful friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend you choose Cafe Lush whether you are visiting Albuquerque or a local.

There are very few breakfast places in this area, let alone good ones. Creative choices, great service. We were very happy we found this place a couple weeks ago.

Great fresh food and the staff and owner very attentive. Quick service! The breakfast hash came with poached eggs, which were cooked to perfection. The French toast was light and fluffy. All ingredients were fresh and the salsa was so good!

Great food, staff’s energy is so nice and comforting, very quaint and adorable.

Great food, great atmosphere, great hospitality. What else is there to say?

We love this little place for lunch! The food is always fresh and tasty, and the service is awesome! They have some creative sandwich and salad offerings as well as breakfast options. Highly recommend stopping in for some tastiness on their patio.

This place has no business being THIS GOOD. WOW - one of the better sandwiches I’ve had in my life and the Southwest slaw was the cherry on top for me! Indoor and outdoor seating, plus wifi

Adorable location with amazing service and food and coffee to die for! We had the lush latte and the lushaladas both were incredible. Everything on the menu can be made gluten free as well which is amazing. Loved it!!

A different take on age old breakfast menu. Definitely worth a try

Laid back, relaxed atmosphere (especially outside), friendly service and a solid breakfast. The only thing I was missing, were fresh juices. The lady said „We are more of a barista place“, but I think a small selection of fresh juices, would not damage your business model

Lush has ruined French toast an bacon for me from any other place. Outstanding meal😊

Great spot to get lunch or all day breakfast. The ladies that run the place are extremely friendly and have great hosipitality. Highly reccomend.

This place is wonderful. The food is incredible and the service is the best in town. This place is first on my list for brunch. The coffee is excellent.

Stopped by for their vegan options. Basically anything on the menu can be made vegan (i.e., eggs sub with tofu/black beans, vegan cheese, etc.) I love having options like this so I can dine in with non-vegans and everyone’s happy! Staff were super sweet and our server was amazing. I don’t love the ambiance, but that’s subjective. The food itself wasn’t anything remarkable but it was good. I enjoyed the chile and their tofu!

My husband and I absolutely love this place. Wonderful healthy food, delicious local coffee... However, there is a waitress there with some sort of health condition. She is very nice but her hands are swollen with blisters and flaky scabs. She does not use gloves. Not only is it very concerning, but it is extremely unappetizing. Unfortunately, we have stopped going to our favorite spot because of this. I understand that there may be extenuating circumstances, but at the very least, she should be required to wear gloves because she touches plates with food, coffee cups and lids, utensils, and napkins. Hopefully, my review kindly encourages the owner to make a change to ensure customers enjoy a sanitary environment while enjoying good food.

Laid back atmosphere, friendly servers, and tasty food....not bad for a corner cafe! We would go again if back in Albuquerque.

Fast, friendly service. Tasty unique taste with many options.

Cafe Lush serves the best veggie hash EVER! This is my favorite dish in Albuquerque! The cafe is cute and on a cool morning it’s wonderful to sit outside. The cinnamon toast is yummy as well!

Really quick service and great lushaladas (breakfast enchiladas)!

When I was still taking classes at UNM in 2021 I would regularly go to Cafe Lush on my way to class. Once I graduated, I stopped going regularly, but I stopped by yesterday after a long time. It was nice to see how the food and the staff continue being amazing. Amy is always so so so so nice and I appreciate her exemplary customer service. I love this place so much! I always take friends when I can.

Nice quiet place for brunch. We sat outside was very nice and fresh. Very close to the weekend market.

My coworkers and I love grabbing lunch from Cafe Lush! The Lush Bacon is delicious, and the food is served with generous portions.

Definitely Best Breakfast in town!!! Hands down! Food was great, tasty, service awesome. All kinds of real food cooked with love ❤️ bring your girlfriend, she’ll appreciate it 🥰 we had our breakfast in the outside area, nice breeze, nice vibe. Awesome 👏

The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. The food is excellent and they prepare it for both vegan and conventional customers.

Outdoor seating and dog friendly. Good food and really great service!

We were greeted as soon as we walked in, seats were available, and the servers were very friendly. The food came out fast and was plated attractively. I got the tofu scramble and then crispy bacon with an chai tea. I enjoyed the sourdough toast, but everything else was just mediocre and… there. I felt I could make it all at home and might like it a little more that way. Both my dining companion and I agreed the bacon had a coffee-like taste to it; it was an unusual flavor neither of us enjoyed. The service was great, and quick, but the food wasn’t anything to write home about and I don’t think I’d go back.

Not esthetically pleasing but ok food. The lush latte with some sweetner was good but the Dewy sandwich was ok, nothing special. Good, fast, friendly service.

Cute little spot with great food, friendly service, and easy to get to

Great food and wonderful friendly service. The Breakfast Pizza was to die for!

Food was delightful. I had the Pappa Doc with Lush bacon and red chili aoli. A good spin on the BLT on a flatbread. It came with a slaw made with apples, grilled pineapple, cilantro, and a light dressing. The service was great and atmosphere was small and busy for lunch. You have to get there early to find a seat. They do have outdoor shaded seating too.

Lovely place to eat! The food was dedicious and the service was top notch!

Always such a pleasant experience here with DELICIOUS home cooked food. Thank you!!!

Excellent food and service! Outdoor seating is pleasant, on a quiet downtown street. Have really enjoyed grabbing breakfast here a couple times before heading into the office. Hoping to stop by and try everything on the menu. Also appreciate that you stick to your listed open hours, which is an issue experienced at other places. Very impressive, especially in these post-pandemic times where customer disservice seems to be the norm.

I thought it was a pleasant place, but then our waitress had some kind of skin disease. I completely lost my appetite after seeing all the open sores on her hands, arms, ankles, and feet. She should not be allowed to serve or be around food unless all these exposed sores are covered. Even then, I will never go back. Just thinking about it makes me nauseous.

Such a lovely experience! The food is fresh and very tasty. Even though the restaurant was very busy, everything came out in a timely fashion. Sarah our server went above and beyond. 10/10!

Got a gluten free breakfast burrito and a regular breakfast burrito to go. The waitress was amazing and took a ton of care with my order, they made my order super quickly, and the food was great. The green and red chile were both flavorful, the green was somewhere between mild and medium, and the red was medium (and just the right amount of heat for me). My husband said the green chile turkey sausage in his was delicious. My burrito had a good balance of bacon, potatoes, and eggs. We got handheld burritos and the gluten free tortilla held up nicely. I'm excited to come back and try the rest of the menu!

We visited from out of town, and someone suggested we get brunch here. We tried it the first morning and HAD to come back again the next. The service is so sweet, they had great suggestions. We each tried different meals and were all so happy with everything. The green chile turkey sausage is too good.

Nice corner café near the convention centers. Food is delicious, but portions are on the small side. Service is a bit haphazard. The café is pretty small, but it's clean and there is some outdoor seating.

Lushaladas are my favorite. The yogurt parfait is good too!

Excellent cozy diner. Both the coffee and food were excellent, including the service. One of the last great truly local neighborhood spots with character.

Totally impressed, and that doesn't happen easily or often... The Turkey Sausage alone is worth 5 stars. This place passes 5 on this star scale. A small venue ~24 seats. Several 2 tops outside, too. Clean, tidy, well appointed. The door opens on the corner, bathroom is in the alley. Comfy chairs one wouldn't likely sweat in. Nicer place settings, plates, mugs, and flatware. We only sat for one meal, early in the day, only one person working the room, one in the kitchen... it went smoothly and fast. We had a Breakfast Plate, Breakfast scramble for me. Waitstaff powered through my decisions like a pro. Who'd have thought I'd have to mention eggs in an omelet? Eggs, Turkey Sausage, roasted red peppers, yes to green chili when offered, red sauce too, sourdough toast. The smallish pile on the plate did not fail to satisfy, and flavor-wise was fantastic!! The toast a tad crispy (IMHO perfection), vs. my wife's Cinnamon Raisin which was thick and a bit chewy (also perfection). I substituted the potatoes for fruit, they were impressive. Awards on the wall for gluten free options, for those that need that. Regrets we live in another state, or we'd be regulars here.

Were it not for the pilot episode of Better Call Saul (S1E1), I never would have known about Lush. But since I am a filming location enthusiast, I had to find what I saw in that fun scene. A quick look at their online menu meant that I wasn’t just going to stop by for some exterior photos. No, I was going in, and I have now been here four times. I give high praise to Lush for feeding everyone without judgment, meaning omnivore and plant-based alike can enjoy a great meal here. As per usual, I go with the Tofu Scramble sans eggs or dairy, admittedly a pretty basic dish, but one that Lush creates with panache. My friend ordered his usual Breakfast Plate, which includes two eggs, breakfast potatoes, and his choice of bacon. We were there on a Saturday morning, meaning the brunch menu was in place. Essentially, the plated items are the same, and one beverage is included in the price. Normally, Lush is filled on Saturday mornings, but the outdoor ABQ Market was going on nearby, and that’s where everyone was. Parking can be tough at times, but we lucked out with a spot directly behind the cafe (note that you enter this small lot by literally driving over the all-access ramped sidewalk). Lush continues to be one of my favorite ABQ breakfast haunts, and I will return.

Really REALLY great spot. We had a delicious breakfast. The food! Amazing. I had the best cappuccino I’ve ever had. The homemade turkey sausage was scrumptious. We had the Lushaladas and French Toast. Very cute atmosphere, super kind people and very seriously amazing food. Worth it 100% 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Staff is super friendly and attentive. Portions are generous—both my partner and I had to take leftovers to go. Food was tasty. We both got scrambled eggs with different fillings. I’d probably order something different next time, but the dish was good for sure. Atmosphere is adorable and cozy.

Amazing food and service was great! The perfect little cafe in ABQ, with street parking nearby!

Wow amazing food and service!! Gluten-free burrito wrap are the best we had to ask a few times to make sure they were GF. Absolutely delicious!!

Great little cafe with fantastic service, indoors is small with outdoor dining available...

2022: Great coffee. Wicked awesome gluten free breakfast! 2024 update: still wicked good coffee and celiac safe food!

Awesome place! I came for brunch and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Really good food and coffee.

Very cute café. Came here for breakfast while visiting town. Breakfast portions are generous and delicious. I had the eggs Benedict and was very happy with it. The location itself is cozy, so it's a little harder to seat bigger parties, but perfect for brunch with a friend or two.

This place was amazing! They were able to work with my gluten intolerance. Definitely worth the price and definitely worth coming! Great customer service! Will be coming again.

Amazing breakfast and service , def a must go. Recommend the breakfast enchiladas but get an extra side of toast with it.

Snagged one of the last tables during a weekday lunch rush. The servers seemed frazzled by the crowd so there was a long wait to order. But the food was delicious once it arrived!

Best Chilli in Abq, Coffee was amazing, food and people will keep you coming back!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Every time the service is great, the food is hot, and everything comes out within 10 mins of ordering. It's always consistent and I keep coming back :)

What a fantastic place to grab a bite to eat and something to drink after my quick run! Fantastic food yes, but even more astounding was the service I received. Sarah was attentive and thorough and Becca was very friendly and funny! So glad I decided to stop, you should to!

Delicious food, vegan options, very friendly staff. They allowed my dog to stay in the outdoor patio and even brought her her own bowl of iced water. Would definitely recommend!

The space is not large and gets some outside seating during warmer months, but the food is extraordinarily delicious! Brunch options are unique and very tasty. Meals come with a small muffin and fruit and are served hot and fresh. The waitstaff is fabulous. It is truly one of the gems for morning and early afternoon dining in downtown Albuquerque.

best breakfast i’ve ever had. the food is so fresh! and the ladies there are magic. small town vibe. i felt like family. go here!

Delicious, the server was great, and it was extremely comfortable.

This is a small mom and pop that offers amazing food and comfortable service! They always delivers top notch everything you’re looking for!!! As a Celiac I am always satisfied!!

Walked to Cafe Lush from Hotel Andaluz this past Saturday. Arrived a few minutes before opening and the staff person kindly invited us inside (it was cold). I loved the atmosphere, service, and food. Had an omelette with ingredients of my choice and my wife ordered a breakfast plate. Everything was excellent including the side garnishes. And, the vanilla latte was the best I have ever had. Thank you for making us feel welcome and for offering a uniquely great experience.

I really enjoyed this little eatery near downtown. Staff was very pleasant. Food was nicely prepared. Coffee was good

Everything was delicious, and the attention was absolutely delightful.

Just awesome. Service was awesome. Food was GF and really delicious. We had breakfast and everything we ordered at our table was delightful. I loved the home made sausage and red and green sauces!

I loved their omelets, pick and choose topping, comes with sliced fruit on the side, friendly customers service. Definitely going back

I've loved this place for years, their gluten-free options are amazing.

Great food and large portions. I would highly recommend Cafe Lush

Stopped in before a flight, and was so happy that we did. The food was wonderful. I was concerned, since we had a picky 5 year old, but they fixed him some goodies, and had gf options, so everyone was happy!

Great small eatery. Easy to eat gluten-free and the food was delicious. The staff were so kind and pleasant. Super busy and the food came out quickly.

So so yummy. Came here after a flight and was very happy we stopped here for breakfast! Great food, great coffee, and the staff is really sweet.

This place nails it. The homemade green chili turkey sausage is to die for! Highly recommend.

Cafe lush is a rare place in Albuquerque that does a good job cooking vegetables. The service great, and very friendly. They have a nice outdoor seating area when the weather is good.

The most delicious breakfast scramble and breakfast burritos, great value and super friendly service.

Absolutely delicious! They got me in and out quickly and the salads were some of the best I’ve tasted in Albuquerque. The staff are so friendly too. I highly recommend this place.

Fun little cafe with some "fancy" dishes. Lots of gluten free options. It's small so I wouldn't recommend it for more than about 4 people in your party.

It is a small Cafe, food and staff are great. It got very noisy while we were there for lunch, almost couldn't have a conversation.

A wonderful cafe that serves an excellent vegan breakfast burrito with good coffee! The service was outstanding and the dinning room clean and comfortable.

This café is cute and has great ambiance. The food was great. It was healthy and filling, but it doesn't make you feel bloated like other fatty breakfast food places. The coffee had great presentation and tasted great; I had the lush latte. I would definitely go here again!

Tried this place twice so far & I love the Lushlatte! The food is delicious, but I am most impressed by the customer service... They are so super nice!!!

My son and I visited the area for a conference. Once we found lush for breakfast we hit it several times. Fresh delicious breakfast. Great conversation. I’m back in Jersey wishing I could Lush this morning!

Excellent! Loved everything! French toast is divine!

So not child friendly. So ridiculous. - Not an assumption. My experience.

You'll come for the cute atmosphere, stay for the food, and return for the absolutely incredible service!!

Seriously good cafe. Excellent vibe and food. Travelling here from UK I wasn't sure where to find places that can handle dietary requirements but this place was ace, have the ingredients listed on the menu. Service fabulous and will definitely pop back if I get another chance!

The breakfast was really good. They had vegetarian, vegan, and gf options. The waitress is so sweet.

Best brunch I've had in a long time. I'm from Tucson and always look for these small locally owned restaurants. Note that it is small and they do get very busy because they're very good. Not the type of place to hang out for an hour sipping coffee. Had to eat & give the table to next folks. I knew exactly why they were waiting - the food is that good!

Food was excellent and the service prompt. Beautiful day to eat outside.

Perfect breakfast spot, friendly service and absolutely delicious food!

The food was excellent the atmosphere. So so. Service So so. We were served water in throwaway plastic cups.

Excited to try a new place that possibly offered something my grandson would be able to eat due to severe allergies. However, this was not the case! The staff was extremely rude and treated us as if we were a burden because we had two children with us. When we arrived later, on a Saturday morning, several tables were available inside, and we were not asked to wait to be seated. Our party consisted of four adults and two children. We were immediately seated however, we waited for quite some time to receive any service at all. When we were waited on the waitress was extremely rude, especially when we asked if they had a kids menu. When we began to ask about certain preparation of foods due to my grandson’s allergies, the waitress rolled her eyes again making us feel like we were a problem. I see where the owner responded to a previous post, blaming it on us for not making reservations. But us not making reservations did not constitute the rude and disgusting behavior we received at this restaurant! I will never recommend this establishment to any friends or family in Albuquerque! One star for service is being very generous. I do appreciate the apology we did receive on the way out from one of the other employees.

1st time here. Lady helping was rude. She rolled her eyes when I said my son has allergies couldnt finish telling her the allergies before rudely cutting me off. Asked how her day was and she said what can I get you. Asked if there was a kids menu and said we can do sides with attitude shaking her head with no eye contact like we were a problem. Food sounds amazing. Unfortunately we didn't get to try it. She was fine helping 2 tops, but don't recommend for a bigger party than that as she seemed overwhelmed with 4 adults and 2 kids. One lady did apologize as we were leaving and we appreciated that.

Veggie hash! Perfectly poached eggs wonderful flavor. Great food and service!

This cafe is just the best. Clean, well managed, and the staff is extremely friendly. They have plenty of gluten free options and operate quickly even in a rush. I visited twice on my short trip, and recommend to anyone in the area.

Lovely little brunch Cafe. Delicious food, cute atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff. Definitely stop by!

Breakfast pizza thing saved my life. Service was 💯
