Kap’s Coffee Shop and Diner

This place is awesome! I had the chicken fried steak. My wife and friend had the enchiladas and eggs. All of the dishes came with hash browns, which were probably the best we’ve ever had; no exaggeration! I think they might fry them with butter because the taste was stinking amazing.
The chicken fried steak and gravy are some of the best I’ve had in years; very tasty.
The one thing you can’t pass up on when you visit is the cinnamon roll! They advertise it as the best in Albuquerque and they are actually right… in my opinion. These things are huge and just plain awesome. They put icing and butter over the top that is out if this world. And these aren’t pre made rolls either. You can tell they are 100% home made.
Bottom line: we loved this place and will go back soon!

I’ve been satisfied with this place since I started going. I invited my friend to breakfast this morning (12/​30/​2015). I told her about the tortilla. you don’t get the store-​bought but freshly made (I think) tortillas. Not only is the food fantastico but also the wait staff is superb. Always nice. friendly and check up on you oftn’. Try it!

I love Kap’s! It’s actually been a few different things in the past 5 – 10 years, and each place was amazing. A lot of the recipes are the same as they were from the establishment before last. So, the foods are working even if the diner is changing it’s clothes. Things that are the same: tortillas, red chile, hash browns.
Anywho, this place is awesome! Excellent quality diner food at inexpensive prices. You must try the chicken fried steak which, when I ordered it to go, came with so much food it came in two boxes and didn’t even break a ten.

Started going to Kaps when I was in high school. Since then other restaurants filled the space. But thank God, Kaps is back and in full effect! Hands down, my favorite green chile in town. I’ll even put on a steak. The brother-​sister duo run a warm and welcoming atmosphere, as well as the servers! They are on top of IT! The most important thing… the food! We have NEVER had a bad meal, not even close! We have worked our way around the menu and have enjoyed it all. It is a spot we take out of towers. And of course, the love it! They are cool with substitutions… Love the chicken fried steak with cheese and green chile instead of the gravy.

I was looking for something new for my wife and I. What a great surprise. Our breakfast was fresh and tasty. Reasonably priced very clean and prompt. The only down side, it’s not in our part of town. Will definitely make plans to visit again, we’ll worth it.
Great job Kaps

This is NOT a coffee shop. We were looking for coffee and this is really just a diner. The waitstaff is super nice but the name is misleading.

I have hit just about every mom and pop breakfast place in the ABQ area since moving here 6 months ago. So far, this is the best. Good/​friendly service and all their breakfast food is great. Either the green and red chili are great adds to breakfast items. Red has perfect amount of heat (a slight sweat on the brow). If someone has a suggestion for a better place, I’m game.

Unilocal — get it together — you have the wrong address. They are at 5801 Central NOT 8810!!! First time here. We will be back. Extremely friendly staff. Good food and clean restaurant.

My two sons and I had breakfast at Kaps for our first time this morning. We will definitely return. Hands down, the BEST Cinnamon rolls in Albuquerque: hot and buttery. We actually bought more on the way out to take home. The biscuits and gravy were fresh and creamy. The French toast was cooked to perfection. Eggs were cooked exactly as ordered.
Our waiter was professional and tentative without being over bearing. Definitely 5 stars! We can not wait to return!

Neighborhood eating spot. Not a chain. Diner atmosphere but very very clean and comfortable. Food reasonably priced and everything I tried was delicious. I got the chicken fried steak and eggs breakfast. Perfect. Chicken was all white meat and seasoned nicely. Eggs cooked to order perfectly.
The service has stood out both times I have visited. Friendly and fast. They make customers feel very welcome. I will go out of my way to go there for that reason alone. Throw in the great food at good price and that’s a winning combination.

Kaps has the best breakfast I’ve had in Albuquerque. That pretty much says it all. Their green chile is excellent but my favorite is the red chile… Only my Mother in Law makes it better! They also have the best chorizo I’ve had in years. And don’t miss the cinnamon rolls. Wow!

Great service an great bkfst I will be back! The food was filling an tasted great! I had never been here before but was happy to find this lil nook! I recommend for quick bite at a good price!

First time to Kap’s! Area is kinda ghetto and by «kinda», I mean a lot ghetto. Once you get past the area Kap’s is located (San Mateo and Central) you’re good. The inside is really nice and looks like it was recently renovated. Still had the diner feel which I liked. I ordered a coffee and sausage omelet. They had cinnamon coffee available that I didn’t get for some reason? However, some people at my table did and said it was delicious. The plain coffee was still good! My omelet came with hash browns and I ordered a side of green chile. I liked my sausage omelet because the sausage used didn’t seem like a frozen patty bought from Costco that the chef just defrosted and diced. Also, the green chile was impressive. It was actually hot! I had to chug some water, and I’ve been living in NM my whole life so it’s rare for me to find a place that serves hot chile. Hashbrowns were good; wheat toast was wheat toast. They served the toast with jelly and I didn’t have the chance to ask if it was made at Kap’s because it came packaged in just a small plastic unlabeled container, but it was really good. Lastly, ORDER A CINNAMON ROLL if you know what’s good for you. Best cinnamon roll I’ve had and yes, I do feel bad saying that since I love Frontier. Service was excellent. I’ll definitely come back!

We’ve been here a few times, and have always been satisfied, but never wowed.
They recently updated and cleaned up the inside which is nice, as it desperately needed it.
The staff is friendly and attentive.
The food is just so so however.
Especially for the neighborhood it is in. The chile should taste like grandma is back there making it, slaving away over a hot stove. Kneading masa by hand and taking pride in the happiness they will bring her welcomed guests.
The chile, however, dissapoints. A bit bitter and blah. The green had a bite to it, but lacked in flavor.
The cheese in my enchilada was still whole and cold and parts of my tortilla was burnt.
The salsa was overloaded with pepper, yes, black pepper, I couldn’t eat it.
The cinnamon roll, however, was one of the best I have had. Big and fluffy with a ton of cream cheese icing and a ball of butter.
Coffee is only $ 1.15 if you have a meal.
I’m sure we will go back, but we were not impressed this visit.

Best little diner in town, as far as I’m concerned! We had breakfast there last week and it was so very good! The hash browns were the best I’ve ever had and the red chile had a nice little bite to it. The service was excellent. Going to check it out for lunch today.

Good, cheap eats! We went and for two breakfast burritos, a sprite, cup of coffee, and a side of rice our bill was $ 12. Tasty and convenient. New breakfast joint!

We happened in one morning last week based on other Unilocal reviews. I had the breakfast burrito it was really good. The service was spot on, if you’re in this neck of the woods find yourself here, you’ll be happy you did!

I miss Seferino’s. One thing I liked about them was their refried beans. So tasty.
The beans at Kapp’s are fine, but they are whole beans and I want the full fat, baby. The rest of the menu items are good.
Service is always good here. Despite there being only hard surfaces, I never find it all that loud in here, which is surprising.
I love their omelets and green chile. My mother prefers the red chile. The corn tortillas are kinda thin and dry. I guess they don’t get much call for them. Flour tortillas are the thick, salty New Mexico kind. My mother didn’t used to like them and now, she can’t get enough. Go figure!
Their iced tea is some of the best in Albuquerque.

This wont take long. Its not good. Friendly and attentive staff but not good eats.
I read the other reviews and was enthusiastic about trying Kap’s Chicken Fried Steak. Ordered that and an A La Carte Relleno because I’m constantly on the hunt for the best Relleno in the 505. This one was OFF (old, freezer burned, fridge smelling-​gross) and I would stay away from it. Had a couple bites to be sure and I’m very pleased not to have been sick. CFS was pre-​frozen and bland.
Ive heard the Biscuits & Gravy were good here but truthfully its unlikely I’m giving Kap’s another shot. This food makes me love Loyola’s that much more.
