Hate to say this, but our brunch last Saturday, five friends, was pretty awful. First, the elevator wasn’t working. (36 steps otherwise, and elderly folks involved.) Then the Noise! One of us (we’re all SFe locals of vvlong standing) had lunched w pals in winter. Few decibels then. But now Pandemonium. Service rushed. The youth upset a glass of water on table. Drenched crotches. Of five lunches, the beet salad was OK. Two bowls of something were tasteless. Two orders of Huevos Rancheros were pathetic. Canned pintos, inedible tortillas, no green chile in sight, a weird garnish of ??? (The eggs were fine.) Deafening joint, busy busy busy, lots of options here in SFe. Skip Opuntia.

Absolutely delicious! They have great healthy but filling options. The drinks and food were pretty reasonably priced for the area. However, the best part in my opinion is the views from the Patio. You get to overlook the Railyards and even see the mountains. If you are a Railfan or train enthusiast this is a great place to come watch trains go by.

Good food but way way overpriced for what it is. Our server Angela was lovely and the location is great. Don’t order apps or drinks, not worth the price tag. Our $15 nachos were literally just chips with a few pintos and some liquid queso, with a side of what seemed like pre-mashed avocado that you buy from a store. We ordered the noodle bowls and they were good, but again, for like $15-$17 with no protein added on, and mostly noodles, it’s just not really worth it to me.

This is my first time dining here with my mother and my husband today 6/19/23 my review is mixed due to the fact that the atmosphere was extremely beautiful and our waitress Anna Marie was fabulous and well worth her tip, the problem I had was the fact that the other waitress on duty was literally cutting corners I guess to try to make her job "easy " my mother and myself watched her bus a table with a dirty blue rag that she first wiped the floor by the table with to clean up a spill, and then proceeded to wipe the seat of the chair near the spill and then the top of the table. She did not change out her rag or clean or rinse it when walking over to another table and continue to wipe down other tables in her section with the same dirty blue rag, her name was molly and she was also very rude to my 85 year old mom who just wanted a glass of ice. I am including photos of a handy wipe I had used to wipe the table where we were going to eat it was disgusting and black, the table was also so sticky. If it wasn't for Anna Marie we would have left. When she was wiping down the table she was using one rag to wash and the other to dry, but 5he tablets are still so sticky we also saw her change her rag out.If you have Molly as a waitress be wary of her cleanliness. We will not be recommending this place to friend or family. And I hope the owner or manager sees this. My original reason for visiting was to make plans for a City meeting this will NOT be happening here.

Overseeing the Santa Fe Railroad area where the Farmer's Market is held, this was a great place to have brunch and, on certain days of the week, dinner. It's on the second floor with elevator access and stairs, the views are great. My wife and I enjoyed the food and ambience so much we decided to try dinner there also. For brunch I had the hash bowl with bacon and for dinner, I had one of the best Cubano sandwiches I've ever had. The service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. Tables are spaced far enough apart to enjoy conversations. One of the highlights in our visit to Santa Fe!

Really nice environment to enjoy something to drink or a meal. We were there for lunch and everything was good. The food was delicious and all the staff were friendly enough. I have no problem as long as they do their job courteously and professionally.They have some Asian flavor dishes which I’m going to try next time. Yes, we plan to go back there and I do recommend this cafe.

Excellent ambiance. You are greeted to a small koi pond and fountain on the second floor as well as an industrial/hipster atmosphere.Huge tea selection. We ordered the Godess Oolong along with Avocado toast [etc]. Highly recommend for a brunch with a view

Really cool unique spot! Located on the second floor it has an open floor plan with lots of cool plants. There food was phenomenal and the vast tea selection was great! Definitely worth checking out!

Loved the atmosphere and food. The mushroom toast was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! The only drawback was that they didn’t have a changing table for my toddler and we had to hike across the street to the movie theater to change a diaper. I’d definitely go back, but I hope they address the lack of a changing table!

This has got to be my new favorite in Santa Fe! Located in the Rail Yards, minutes from the Plaza. This industrial inspired building, makes the perfect vibe. The koi pond along with the refreshing greenery make this place a must-stop when I'm in town! I came for a late breakfast, and chose the avocado toast with a poached egg! What stuck out was the fresh arugula salad on my grainy toast! Huge chunk of avocado! 8/10 Full bar, beer on tap and exceptional tea list!! Brunch Me Now Please!

Ok food, nothing special. The service here was poor! The restaurant was not busy, yet we waited an uncomfortably long time to be seated, followed by an even longer time for a waitperson to come to our table. Also had to flag someone down when we needed something, as the waitperson didn't check on us after delivering our meal. Our server also told us that the sandwiches were pre-made.

Slow service, burnt sandwich, out of a lot of stuff. Don't recommend this place. Nice views of mountains tho

Excellent food and beautiful ambience. The food was delicious and the service was great!! We got the fries of abundance, roasted, beet, salad, and polenta crusted oysters.
