If you want to help support local businesses, this is the place! It's a wonderful collection of shops! Books, jewelry, clothing, gifts, pottery, hair salons, a tattoo parlor, and coffee! I enjoy grabbing a coffee before roaming the various little shops. This has become my go to place to purchase gifts for others as they have so many unique things and it supports local businesses. The staff here are extremely helpful and friendly.

I was referred here for christmas gifts. I always drive past it but finally stopped in! Got a delicious coffee to drink while looking at the shops. As soon as i started walking around i was greeted by a lovely man named Bob. As I was checking out he really took the time to talk to me and was so kind! His wife and him own the space, he was very welcoming and the space is so creative, supporting local business! They have great vendors.

This is one of the coolest places to shop. Im addicted! You must stop and see this place. Great coffee, cool stuff to buy, and I will definitely make this my first stop to buy gifts. Get you hair done, massage or a tattoo even. Some cool business owners to meet! I love the record shop! Go down stairs to see Bob's cool stuff!

This building is very fun to walk around. It's full of various little shops, arranged kind of like a fancy indoor flea market. I love the shop with weird spooky things- there are some great pins and oddities. The soap and bath product shop is very nice too. There is some great local art throughout, as well as vintage items. It's all local, which I love, and an excellent place to shop for gifts. It does get fairly pricey though, depending what you buy.They also have a big area open behind the building where they house great vegan food truck events and craft fairs.

I can’t say enough about this place - favorite location in ABQ. I tell everyone. The compilation of stores is amazing; the art is beautiful; the atmosphere is so friendly - and don’t miss Dark Mark Arts downstairs behind the bookshelf! Got a tattoo there last week and it was the most comfortable and classy experience. I adore this place. Can’t wait to try the salon.

I was looking for a place to grab a coffee one morning before going to check out some museums, and stopped into the Collective to check it out. I had come there for a cup of coffee and morning bite to eat, and I returned later for gifts. The Collective has a lot going on for it. You can get a lot of New Mexico and ABQ-geared gifts for any member of the family. You can get a haircut at either the saloon, or the barber, depending on booking. There's food available at the café, a tattoo artist, and spa in addition to the antiques and other knickknacks everywhere. Great place to stop if you just got into town, or you are on your way out, although if you are leaving town you might have wished you'd stopped in sooner.

There's a little bit of everything inside the Collective. Great little coffee spot, a salon (highly recommend), clothing, art, jewelry, etc. for sale. Amazing place.

Great spot to find gifts, art, and clothing. Stop by for a coffee and stay to shop, get a haircut, or book a tattoo appointment. Don't miss Dark Mark Arts or Black Grove Design Co. Everyone has fantastic wares, but these two shops were my favorites.

Wow, what a cool place! Highly recommend ABQ Collective to both locals and visitors. Great selection of teas and coffees, local artwork, jewelry, and antiques, and a fun play area outside for the kids. And the staff are super friendly!

Visiting Albuquerque with my wife, who is from here. we always like to find something unique and authentic that is representative of New Mexico. The Collective is a great spot to find handmade items from local artists. Staff is kind and helpful.

Returned for the first time since last holiday season to look around for some holiday gifts. It has changed a lot since last year with new vendors and definitely worth checking out for your holiday shopping needs. They have a good selection of different vendors, including some really cool art prints, jewelry, and local goodies. Some of the vendors are not my style but there's something for everyone. I was able to find some fun gifts for a friends birthday and they were great local finds for sure. I might have even got myself some earrings. They have a coffee shop and do a bunch of events throughout the year.

Cute coffee shop with pop up vendors. The coffee is tasty and is always made correct to what I order. Today I made a few purchases for Christmas gifts

After letting some time pass and reflecting on the incident I have decided to speak up. I was a vendor at their Backyard Market and I arrived early to set up. My son came to help me set up my tent. The owner was visiting with another vendor and walking towards the building. She then stopped and told my son, who is black by the way, not to steal anything from their booth. We were confused and just looked at her and she repeated it. I was so hurt and felt that it was a racist comment. When I brought it up to her it was revealed that she too is a grandmother of biracial kids and has no understanding of the seriousness of the situation. I have never felt so broken hearted to hear my son say just let it go mom, don't let them win. My 27 year old son is a better person than her and to be honest she's lucky I didn't go loca right then and there. I hope that you chose not to support ABQ Collective. They are not a true reflection of community and kindness. Tell your friends. This has got to stop.
