Hot Rocks Java Cafe
3.9 / 5 (330 reviews)

Description

Tucked near research labs, Hot Rocks Java Cafe is a local favorite for exceptional coffee, standout red chile, and giant cookies. Friendly, accommodating staff and owners handle large orders with ease, and the casual, relaxed vibe invites lingering over chai or a breakfast burrito. Menu leans classic New Mexican; plant-based diners note limited value and occasional food inconsistencies (dry meat, prep errors). Overall, a warm neighborhood spot with excellent drinks.

It is convenient place for lunch or breakfast for lan employees. Close to the lab and had good food.

The coffee here is absolutely delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and goes out of their way to help. To make it even better, the owners are exceptionally accommodating. They fulfilled my daughter’s request for a specific coffee container with ease. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee.

It's a tough place to get what I want. For health reasons I eat plant-based. So I get to pay the same amount of money for a breakfast burrito with only beans, potatoes and chile as everyone else pays for a bb with beans, potatoes, cheese, meat, egg and chili. Does that seem right for to you?They do have the best red chili in town!The counter help is much better than it used to be. Dietary restrictions: Pay the same for less.
