34 Best Cafes in Santa Fe

“I loved this place!! Must go if you’re a foodie. The person working there gave me multiple free samples of cookies and also we chatted for like 10 minutes about different flavor profiles.“

“El mejor servicio y la mejor comida 100% recomendado 😋“

“I love this place so much!! I work on the plaza and often get lunch here, they are always extremely fast making orders, accommodating, and kind! The food is always delicious too and the quality is consistent. This is my top recommendation for everyone, whether you’re a local or visiting. Perfect place to grab lunch while exploring the beautiful Santa Fe plaza. :)“

“Delicious pastries and tasty egg options“

“In the last few weeks I have had Strawberry-Rhubarb pies from three local bakeries. This pie was so much better than the others it was astonishing!“

“La comida está increíble y el trato espectacular!!!“

“I’m visiting from Texas and have been here several times! Breakfast is delicious and the coffee is fantastic! Great atmosphere and the outdoor space adds the perfect touch.“

“My husband and I discovered this place when found out that pretty much EVERYTHING closes at 8 in Santa Fe (unless you are looking for coffee, and those places close at 5! What is UP with that?). Anyway, clearly this is where all the cool kids hang out! Busy place, but there was plenty of room and fantastic service! Found a parking spot easily. Great diner vibe, and when I tell you the menu was extensive, I am not even joking! I wish I had been hungrier, or I would have tried more. Husband got a Wagyu burger with fries (I snuck more than a few fries… yum!), and I got a side of mashed potatoes (also yum!) and some sliced avocado. But the main event for us was the pie. Holy cow! We had no business finishing our slices… but we (almost) did! If you are hungry, or just want a bite of dessert and coffee late at night, this is the spot!“

“At Iconik Red on Cerrillos, I highly recommend the pork chops with organic eggs and spiced potatoes slathered in red chili. Yum.“

“Karaoke on Saturday is lively.“

“love it ☺️lots of goodies, coffee and great Frito Pies 🥰“

“You should eat here. I wrote an amazing (but very long) review for House of Eternal Return. also i might be a bit biased about meow wolf cause I like it like, a lot... like its sometimes the only thing i think about. This cafe is nice. I got some food and some OM drinks, I recomend the omega cola and gender fluid, its very good. you should also give meow wolf all your money at the gift shop.“

“Plentiful array of delicious, beautiful and unique delicacies of all sorts. Defiantly worth going and walking through the crowded street discovering things you never even knew you wanted.“

“Love the cookies and their fillings. It's great that they aren't too sweet. The macarons though made me sad. I got some holiday ones and they barely had any filling in them. 🥲“

“We just popped in to see the place as it had been 20 years since we were there almost every day. I was disappointed that they didn't still have the huge amount of newspapers and magazines from around the world like they used to. Probably just a sign of the times in this digital dystopia. Still a cool spot for a good local coffee and cake.“

“At Iconik Red on Cerrillos, I highly recommend the pork chops with organic eggs and spiced potatoes slathered in red chili. Yum.“

“Food is great. Quite pricey, but I guess that kinda goes with the location. They could use more waitstaff, although that certainly isn't a dig on the staff working there.

Also, I overheard another customer ask for sandwiches. No sandwiches. She said the sign outside said otherwise.

Neat place overall.“

“Love love this motel vintage vibes!! Service was excellent,food drinks were amazing and the Shiner club jazz band was amazing!! Loved the mystic vibes though out the motel!! Recommend 10 out of 10!!“

“At Iconik Red on Cerrillos, I highly recommend the pork chops with organic eggs and spiced potatoes slathered in red chili. Yum.“

“Gorgeous place. Fresh bread and food in every variation! Delicious quiche and amazing coffee“

“such an amazing place. I was born and raised in Germany on the border, what was then Tchechoslovakia and actually have visited the area the owner and some of her staff are from. the food is amazing, great atmosphere and can't wait to see how she Integrates more of her farm items into her lovely cafe! thank you for chatting with us today we look forward to our next visit here in Santa Fe and your place!“

“It just doesn't get any better than this for authentic, traditional New Mexican food! The flavor and heat of the chilies is incredible! Some of the silkiest red I've ever had. I'm a native New Mexican living in Colorado. Every time I drive back to Albuquerque, I stop at Horseman's first!“

“Each item we enjoyed on the lunch and dinner menu was A-amazing. The attentive and well orchestrated staff was a delightful aspect as well.“

“I can not say enough about Baked & Brew. I have not met the owner Kate Holland, but I have met her mom and have had numerous experiences as a customer. It is evident that great love, dedication and hard work is part of their genetics. 🧬 All the best for performing your own personal works of Art- after all, isn’t Art a Food Group?“

“Fantastic food, service and coffee!“

“Everything I had was excellent- brisket, potato salad, and cucumber salad. Plus they offer 6 different sauces. The sides were a little different than I’m used to (I’m from South Texas) but they were delicious. Plus the people were super friendly! :)“

“This place is adorable, affordable and absolutely delicious. We're "tourists" from Albuquerque staying the weekend in Santa Fe for my kiddo's birthday. We wandered in simply based on proximity to our accommodations, and were very pleasantly surprised. Perfect for our occasion!“

“Yes, loved the quaint and warm atmosphere. Bartender Daniel is the best. Knowledgeable and pleasant. Enjoyed my visit there immensely!!!“

“The parking is easy, the patio is lovely, the food is good and the bagels are tasty. Not much to not like. Always enjoy being greeted by the owner and chatting with fellow patrons“

“Must visit during Santa Fe trip! We needed a break from the chiles and beans, and this was the perfect addition to our trip. We ordered the Spicy Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Kung Pao Tofu, and Vegetable Pan Fried Dumplings. I had a group of three and we shared everything. The homemade dumpling wrapper and noodles were both excellent - chewy and cooked perfectly. The beef broth was light but flavorful. The kung pao tofu was a light offset to the soup. The staff were extremely friendly and hospitable. Would recommend to locals and out of towners!“

“We had heard about it but never visited before, and now we cannot wait to come back! The flash fried vegetable and crispy polenta appetizers were easily enough for 3 diners and full of savory deliciousness. Our server was outstanding, working way more tables than I ever did back in the day, and never leaving us to feel left out. He got us both sauces for the polenta and described all the entries with aplomb. Thank you, Jose! Our 3 entrees were cacio e pepe, tagliatelle with ragu, and the peporo. All were excellent, hot straight from the kitchen, and devoured down to the plate. No room for dessert; we will try next time. Cocktails were also special. Hard to choose which negroni to have. Again, will have to come back.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“We had an AMAZING breakfast, and as a coffee snob, I think the iced latte was perfection. The lady who helped us was PRECIOUS. This place is a MUST when you visit Santa Fe!!“
