tiny grocer ABQ

"We visited the Tiny Grocer specifically to pick up a couple of bottles of Zia Sodas, but we also perused the store while we were there. The Grocer has a nice assortment of locally produced goods for sale. We had already eaten, or we would have picked up lunch at their café next door. There is a lovely patio out back in the shade to sit and enjoy the day."

"This place is super cute—part café, part market—with an amazing selection of fresh, local New Mexican goods. You’ll find everything from produce and pantry staples to frozen soups, sides, and fresh-baked goodies. The café serves delicious made-from-scratch food (the burritos are a must-try!) and standout drinks—especially the matcha. Bonus points for the super dog-friendly vibe and the adorable patio. Definitely worth a visit!"

"I was only in ABQ for a few days but visited Tiny Grocer multiple times. They make an amazing matcha tea!! Their store has gorgeous produce fresh from local farms. The lettuce was wonderful and the tomatoes were beyond delicious - just the way i remember them fresh from my Mom’s garden. I brought home some green chili powder and red chili powder from their store and I am still enjoying wonderful memories of Old Town every time I taste these wonderful flavors. Lovely indoor tables and nice outdoor venue!"

"This has been my go-to for local meats, dairy, and produce for the past few months. The employees/counter attendants are always extremely knowledgeable. In addition to how their customer service is at an exemplary level. The owner does a lot to accommodate the needs of customers, as well as going beyond to try and keep up with local supply/demand chains (which is not easy whatsoever). The shop itself is conveniently located. It’s small but very well organized, and feels extremely covid safe. It’s rare for anybody to be there besides myself and an employee. You can even purchase pantry staples like locally milled flour, vinegar, spice mixes, etc. Try the fermented goods. Try the tortillas made by one of the best tortillerías in town. Get those fresh, nutritious bags of rainbow chard, red spinach, carrots, and fresh herbs. Get the oh-so-tender harvest moon potatoes. Get the eggs and pork sausage— you WILL have the best fried eggs, sausage, and potatoes for breakfast. When they carry DeSmet Dairy milk— grab a half gallon. The in-house made dulce de manzana is sooo addicting. By shopping at Tiny Grocer I know I’m in turn supporting local farmers, sustainable agricultural practices, etc. Lastly, make sure to get a coffee or tea latte when you’re there and leave a good tip— you will not regret it!"
