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.

Thank you.
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.

Thank you😎
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!
