ABQ Coffee Connection

ABQ Coffee Connection is located in the southeast corner of the Main Library. They offer bakery items, soup, sandwiches and drinks. There are a number of tables inside or you can take your order to go.
I had the vegetarian sandwich on the multi-​grain ciabatta. It included lettuce, cucumbers, celery, avocado, olives, some things I omitted (onions and chiles I believe) and I added swiss cheese. I was not so sure about the veggie combination at first but it was really yummy and the bread was good.
I also had two cookies — chocolate chip and double fudge. They were a little hard. A couple of seconds in the microwave would have fixed that (if I had a microwave). However, they both had a really great taste. I will definitely give them another try.
With all the little sandwich shops in the Downtown area, it must be difficult to stand out enough to gain a following. Luckily, ABQ Coffee Connection seems to have captured that clientele and, hopefully, will be around for a while. I will be visiting again and trying a turkey sandwich and, perhaps, a croissant. With the reasonable prices, friendly owner and close proximity to my house, this is likely to be my first choice for sandwiches.
