This place has amazing food and a great vibe. My first time here, I ordered the beer battered salmon tacos. Super tasty and the sauce on top of the tacos was bursting with love. The next day, I returned and ate the best cob salad in my life. Very friendly staff and service is exceptional. Food came out fast which I really appreciate. Will be returning. After reading the reviews, next trip to Sante Fe, I'm definitely getting that cinnamon roll.

Must get the cinnamon roll! I had the breakfast burrito and it was okay, but would come back here just for the cinnamon roll. Quick service and counter service, cheap prices, fun atmosphere!

Food was delicious and came out quickly. Portions were huge and everything was very fresh. It was very crowded and therefore very, very loud. Not a good place to have a conversation.

Let's start this Santa Fe week off right! They accepted credit card - just need to update 'cash only'. The menu is quite vast & a cup of dark coffee seems to be alright. The vibe, that is amazing. Kids friendly & Barista are cheerful. Everyone plays their parts. A lot of patrons working on their laptop at the cafe even in the morning. I sat the front patio for the morning breeze & the price is what you'd expect for a trendy place. I am not sure, this is Hipster spot but I d come back next time. ( No hippies in the cafe as far as I know, hey this is " Counter Culture" #ykyk). Again, this is Santa Fe, NM if you feel particularly not welcome, it is not about you. Learn how to blend in first, which I know local folks here, so I ain't surprised. The SouthWestern Pride :) There is a parking lot & the small galleries in the compound!

Yummy brunch! The plates are STACKED. If you're super hungry, this is a great amount of food. We didn't finish our meals, and actually had our leftovers for dinner the same day. Dogs are allowed on the patio here, so that's a major win for a dog owner like me! We shared a blueberry muffin, and it tasted like a "healthy" homemade muffin...Like if you added a yogurt crumb topping, this would be perfect for me! Still good, but I would prefer a different pastry from here. I had a Greek omelette special, and it was so good! The veggies inside were fresh, the feta gave a nice zing, and the eggs were cooked nicely. The side of potatoes were flavored well. My meal also came with a lot of toast. My husband got the El Grande, and for sure it was Grande. He liked his meal.

They are no longer cash only. Yay! I have given it another try because we loved it SO MUCH before covid. Happy to report that the staff was friendly & the food is still delicious. Love the hibiscus herbal ice tea... it IS slightly sweet but not too much for me. I am still disappointed that they continue to use Styrofoam & plastic to go containers, but I have HOPE that they will correct this. (The food is so good I seldom have Leftovers, but I won't order takeout here until they get sustainable containers.

This is one of the local favorite famous for the cinnamon bun. Personally I don't like cinnamon bun so I went for their regular breakfast menu. I ordered cowboy boy. The portion is massive, it needs two person to finish. It's also very heavy with a lot of cheese, sauce and carb. Not sure if it's healthy option but it taste decent. You go to counter to order then take a number to find wherever to sit. Clean up after you finish. Self serve is pretty efficient.
