I came in for a quick bite and coffee before driving out of town. Had the green chile and ham frittata. Best ever and I would LOVE the recipe if the owner is reading this. Had some lattes and a few mimosas as well. Great server, very friendly. Will be back when I drive through

We had so much fun here! We came here on the 20th and participated in the Drink and Geeks trivia night and had a ball! Everyone was so friendly, and I apologize because I can’t remember the gentleman who served us, but upon finding out we were there celebrating our anniversary, made us a very delicious dessert to help us celebrate. (I wish I didn’t have to share with my hubby…don’t tell my hubby I said that). I loved the atmosphere as well, such a cool little shop. I highly recommend it! And for heaven’s sake, can someone please beat the Italian Disco team! 🙂

Great atmosphere, cool vibe with eclectic art, + patio and indoor seating. Food and beverages are overpriced relative to other local spots. A 2-shot cappuccino was 6.50 + tax and tip (a triple was ~$5 at chocolate maven yesterday). I’d advise against the cinnamon roll. Pastries are listed at $3.75; when my bill before tip was $14 I was shocked that this paltry, warmed over, 7-11 style item was $6.50. Nice staff, cappuccino was fine.

There’s a lot to say in this review. We went to this cafe because it was one of the few that was still open and ordered a cup of coffee, tea, pizza, and a chicken pesto sandwich. The biggest issue was the price at $52! The chicken pesto sandwich was cold, the tea was not good, and the pizza had no taste. Although the food itself was not the best and the coffee was okay, the pricing felt very random and predatory. All items were priced at random decimal denominations like $6.48 or $9.52, but what was worse is that online, the prices are not the same as in person. Additionally, if you’ll see in my picture, there were prices for pizzas written in chalk, and you can clearly see the substantial price increases (I’m assuming fairly recently) from 16.50 to 19.80. Now I will say that the gentleman working with the vest on was very nice, and when I accidentally ordered a Margherita pizza instead of a cheese pizza, this gentleman made our pizzas extremely fast and was very kind. It’s also worth noting that this establishment was also a bar and seems to be more active at night. It seems to me that this establishment should either choose to be a bar or choose to be a cafe with prices that reflect that.

Great quirky, eclectic restaurant/venue! Loved the breakfast all day option. My wife had the chicken-pesto panini and I had French toast (sourdough bread!). Both were excellent. Only one person working (wish I had her name) and she handled everything without pause. Loved the vibe.

Cozy, great atmosphere, friendly people. Food was fantastic and cooked fresh to order. Coffee was great as well. Highly recommend.
The French toast was cooked well, and the fresh fruit was delicious. The mochiato and cortado were made with care, and I loved the mugs that they were served in.

I just happened to be looking at the menu at the door of this cafe on a Friday evening in late June. I was greeted by a very kind and lovely young woman named Haley who invited me inside to just relax and enjoy a nice dinner with some red wine. The cafe manager Daniel and hostess Mari were also so very kind and welcoming as well. They made sure that I was well taken care of. The food was really fresh and delicious. I had the ham and cheese panini with a fresh side salad and the house red wine. The salad had an excellent vinaigrette. For dessert I had the delicious Mexican Mocha drink. The atmosphere was like dining in a friend’s comfortable living room. People were playing beer pong on mini game tables at a corner area of the cafe. Then at 9pm the house dj started performing some invigorating and exciting beats to get everyone on the dance floor. It all uplifted me and made feel young and happy. The cafe’s motto is expressed by a neon lighted sign “Good vibes only.” And how true it is.

I was so happy I stumbled upon this place! Came in late on a Sunday night and the bartender Adam made my friend and I some delicious Espresso Martini’s and they also had live trivia. The atmosphere and drinks and staff were so great. This place was an absolute hidden gem. We loved it so much we came Monday morning for brunch and met Hailey the owner and her father and had some lovely mimosas and I ordered the French toast and my friend had the Frittata. When I come back to Santa Fe I will be back!
Don’t pass this place up 🙂
