Enjoyed the huevos rancheros very much. Service was good, the young man was very polite. The place was full but not noisy. I loved the metal art out front.

What a find! Thrilled to find this great spot as we drove through. Great coffee, attentive service and good eats. Very local vibe: felt like we were the only folks from out-of-town at some points. Food is cooked to order, so there may be a wait: if you’re in a hurry, this may not be for you.

We are new to the area and found this place on line..thought we would try it for breakfast. Food and hot and cold teas were great. Friendly service and other customers were very outgoing, like we’d known them forever. We will be back.

Cute road side diner/cafe with friendly people. It was cozy inside with loads of art and Knicknacks for sale
I had the club sandwich and fries. The sandwich was huge (!) (I probably won’t eat dinner now) and very tasty. The fries were fresh cut and fries to just the right crispness.

Decided to take a road trip and stopped here to eat. It was a cute little roadside cafe. I have very mixed reviews on this. I know this is a small business and definitely not fast food. We appreciated that going in. We looked forward to the small town homemade experience. However, it really took a long time. The onion rings we ordered as an appetizer were overcooked, very crusty and greasy. Not good at all. But the fried pickles we ordered were absolutely AMAZING! And they gave you so many! They were the best part of the meal. I ordered the small smothered burrito, which was also great and a very generous size. Now the burgers on the other hand, while tasty, were on the small side.
I love the way they serve red their ice tea. It was really cute. I would probably go back again, but I wouldn’t go if I was super hungry. I think we waited a good 45 minutes after we ordered for our food to arrive.

Unexpected joy… when you drive in the middle of nowhere, you find a cozy place with good food made from scratch, and friendly staff, that is a win win.
Our fries were made from fresh potatoes, no precut or pre frozen. Food was simple and delicious.
Don’t go there in a rush, food made from the heart takes time.
The sign says it all, It’s all good!!!

This is the kind of place you wish you’d find in every small town that you pass through on your way to your major destination. Mountainaire is on the way to higher elevation towns and is only an hour from Albuquerque. Alpine Alley is a local gathering place with a comfy couch and tables, a fully-equipped coffee house, a breakfast and lunch restaurant, and a take out cafe with homemade bakery items that will satisfy your innermost cravings. They sell out quickly though – when I arrived around 10am, there was only one blueberry muffin left. I had it heated with butter and it was heavenly. The espresso was perfect as well. The owner is friendly and funny and seemed to know every patron that came through the door. Of course.
I was driving a back route to Las Vegas, New Mexico, that took me through this mountain town and several others. My journey was saved by my 20 minute stop here. I hope yours is, too.
