Had a delicious large cappuccino and pastry (cinnamon twist) and sat inside. Cost $10.Parking: They have a parking lot they share with another business. It's tight, but probably typical for downtown Santa Fe.

I went there in the middle of the winter, so their outdoors don't look that enticing, but you can check other reviews... their outdoor space is a wonderful place to enjoy a summer day. This is a fun cafe that still preserves a great atmosphere in spite of the magazines (hence it's name) heydays gone (I heard that they used to have thousands of different titles, don't know that truth of it, but I am quite sure they had quite a subscription base...). Food is simple and casual, but tasty. You order at the counter and wait to be called. Of course, coffee and teas are a big part of the menu. Fun place to chat with friends or work with your computer.

I first visited this coffee shop when it was downtown & had magazines, hence the name "Downtown Subscription." I'm a twenty-five year resident and find that I gravitate to this coffee shop more than others despite the change in ownership that others complain about. I like Casey & think he does a great job. I've also never had an issue with the service or staff, but will concede there is a consistent turnover which is to be expected for this type of work. In reading the negative reviews, what I've noticed is that most of these people are from Texas. Maybe their negative reviews say more about Texans than the coffee shop. Who knows? What truly astonishes me are the people who prefer Starbucks. Are you kidding? Starbucks sucks, but if you like sugary, flavored drinks, I guess that's the place for you. I prefer coffee myself.

If I can leave, no stars, I would! Unbelievably rude staff! I'll never come back! And Unfortunately the coffee wasn't even worth dealing with the girls that made it. Mom and pops are already struggling in this economy but now I understand why people go to Starbucks.. It's so sad!

This is your very proper coffee shop/newstand in a neat area of downtown near the state capitol. I ordered a Cortado and it was drinkable at the time of purchase. No too hot. Perfect. This place has a super atmosphere and you can tell locals frequent this coffee shop on the daily! There is a beautiful outdoor courtyard as well to enjoy your coffee and pastry. There were numerous delightful looking pastries that I would definitely try out next time. It was nice to see a newstand with lots of magazine choices. Those are hard to come by nowadays. I look forward to stopping in next year!

This place is magical. Their outside seating feels a little bit of something out of a fairy tale if we are talking 'whimsy'. Or perhaps that of an English country garden for a cup of tea. I obviously found their outdoor space, garden area and landscaping to be most enjoyable. If you enjoy having a beverage with an indoor/outdoor option, this place is for you. Plenty of umbrellas for shade. 10/10 recommend. What an adorable find.
Great setting, location, art, patio, baristas and friendly clientele. Highly recommend!

I was in the coffee shop today and one day last week. Last week it was very warm, so I asked the barista if I could close the door to the outside. She said yes. I also noticed that one of the ceiling fans, there are two of them, wasn't working. I asked about it and was told that they didn't know why it wasn't working. Today, it still wasn't working. It's 90 degrees out, it would be great if there was as much cooling as possible. Also, today, the coff shop really did smell like a gym locker room!
