Starbucks Substitutes in Albuquerque, New Mexico

On Tuesday, February 26th, at 8:30pm EST, according to a report by MSNBC, 7,100 Starbucks stores nationwide will be closing their doors, in an attempt to use that time to train and retrain baristas to prepare drinks the appropriate Starbucks way.

If you think that you are going to be having coffee or Starbucks withdrawals during the three hours in which Starbucks will be closed to the public, then in this article you will be guided to a place where you can still get your coffee fix.

This is a small coffee house, located near the Albuquerque airport. It is a very cozy place to have a cup of coffee, and the staff is just delightful. Compared to Starbucks however you won't find the modern-design theme; instead you will find a comfortable, home-like environment.

Saxbys Coffee

This coffee shop is a lot like a Starbucks. It actually offers much better drinks, in my opinion. When at Saxby's you will not even notice the difference in taste, service, or in the environment. The only difference is the logo, the colors, and the location. To view their menu, you can visit their website. You can also find different Albuquerque locations there.

Java Joe's

Java Joe's specializes in providing the best coffee experience to their customers at all hours of the day. You can also purchase other food items at this coffee shop. Visit their website to view their entire menu, with prices, along with specials that they are currently offering.

If you are not close to any of the above coffee shops, you can always stop by a Borders bookstore and have coffee at their coffee shop inside, or you can stop by at the nearest McDonald's. Both of these places offer great coffee at all hours of the day.
