Gold Street Caffe - Albuquerque, NM

The breakfast menu is simple, but elegant. Highlights include the hearty cowboy breakfast: a huge green-chile cheese biscuit stuffed with scrambled eggs, smoked ham and house-made mascarpone. Eggs eleganza is a tasty eggs Benedict takeoff, substituting brioche and goat cheese for English muffins and Hollandaise. Their honey-red, chile-glazed bacon is the best in town: sweet, smoky and slightly spicy. Gold Street's great coffee comes from a private roaster in Seattle and Rio Grande Roasters. They also have a huge selection of Italian sodas.

At breakfast on the weekends, hip downtown 20-somethings sit at the outside tables for coffee and cigarettes. The affluent and the overflow from the yoga center across the street mingle in a New York-style dining room that looks like something out of Architectural Digest. During weekday
lunches, the place is full of downtown power-lunchers. (from http://www.goldstreetcaffe.com)
