What a hidden gem this place is. I ordered a Reuben and my wife got a chicken wrap. They were both fantastic. The service was prompt and everything was delicious and economical. read more

We travel to Bisbee every thanksgiving from Santa Fe and stop at this little place . The food was delicious. I had a half order of huevos rancheros and it was more than enough and for $8. That is a deal. Our server kept checking on us and kept the coffee cups full. Real homey feel to the place. This is a local hangout as customers all greeted each other by name. One fellow dining alone asked us if we would join him so we did of course. That doesn't happen in Santa Fe!!' read more

Place is pretty good out in mountains! Did is good, staff is very nice, place is clean!! Will come back!!!

Just moved to Mountainair and wanted to support a local establishment. Crazy long wait and rude waitress. Tables were sticky and food was cold. They must stay open because people passing through don't know where else to go. I can't believe anyone comes here twice. read more

The store has something for everyone. The food at the restaurant was delicious. The seating was very cozy and the ambiance was welcoming.

I had lunch on Sunday. Wow oh wow.... The vegologist sandwich was beyond expectations good. The chai latte was hot and decadent. I really enjoyed the decor, rustic yet simple, felt like home. The service was beyond excellent. I highly recommend this cafe. read more

Better service would make this 4 stars because the food has been great! I don't expect joy and mirth from service workers but being hung up on multiple times when trying to place an order is not fun. I definitely enjoy the breakfast burritos. Any baked goods I've tried are delicious when they have any left (the site boasts many choices but rarely provides them). If you're not a white person the clientele will stare at you like you're an alien which makes it hard to want to sit and eat there. Prices and serving sizes are fine overall though I was hoping their bitcoin mining machine sitting on the counter could lower the costs somewhat. read more

Fantastic and fun-loving owner. So gracious and caring. Great atmosphere and service. Coffee came in a monster cup - right up my alley! Super friendly staff and the food was good. Reasonably priced. We were passing through from Ohio and was fortunate to discover this little gem!! read more

Stopped on our way back from the Gran Quivara Mission. Friendly staff and fun decor. Staff and most customers were wearing masks as required by the state DOH. My huevos rancheros were fresh, with whole beans. The chili was milder than I would have liked, but everything on the plate was tasty. My wife got the turkey rueben and it was stupendous. The fries were fresh cut, fresh fried and perfect. We ordered cookies to go for an afternoon snack. read more

The food was good, but boy was it slow. I get the impression that the waitress was not being entirely straight with me when she said the someone in the kitchen had called in sick. Just reading the other reviews, it doesn't seem like slow service is a one-time issue. And it's not like the place was busy. In any case, the server was polite, we weren't on a schedule, so it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't deduct a star for that. My wife had the Dumpmeister, a peanut butter and bacon sandwich. She loved it. I tried it, but am still unconvinced by the concept. I had the Sophia Loren, with is a grilled roast beef, onions, pepper jack, and green chili sandwich. It was excellent. I would definitely visit Alpine Alley again. read more

Gourmet food in a small town! This is better than (or at least equal to) the best in Santa Fe. And the prices are rock bottom for the quality. Worth the trip to Mountainair from Colorado. read more

Arrived in Mountainair MM in time to witness the (partial) solar eclipse 2024 with the help of the National Park Service at the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument visitor center/ they also recommended Alpine Alley Cafe but said don't go if your in a hurry/ I understand why because everything is home made even the dressings/ it's like walking into an old farmhouse kitchen and sitting room very charming my husband calls it "Western whimsical " staff was great food great hrs are mostly 6am to 2:30 pm so go early / the coffee is perfect for you coffee freaks read more

Had a wonderful breakfast and lunch here while visiting this weekend. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting with local artists on the walls, comfortable seating, a fun self-serve coffee bar, and warm pellet stove that we all took turns standing in front on a cold morning. The food was excellent. Everything we had was made from scratch, some of the best onion rings and reuben I've ever had and the breakfast was tasty. Prices are on-point for this area and the portion sizes are quite filling. Service was solid, they were a bit busy but we weren't in a hurry and all the food was hot and fresh when it came out. Definitely worth a stop in this quiet little town. read more

I absolutely love this place! Been here a couple times while enjoying the wonderful scenery on motorcycle rides. The food is fresh, just like home cooking. Today, after being chilled by the morning air, sitting next to the fireplace was wonderful. read more

Best food in town! Highly recommend the veggie burrito. But everything I tried was delicious. Be patient it's worth the wait. And don't forget to get whatever bakery items they have u won't be disappointed read more

Great food and warm atmosphere. Wife and I were visiting family near Mountainair, NM and they took us here. Breakfast and lunch, everything was great. I heard they can get really busy but we had good timing so everything was fast and service was great. Do not even think of going here and not trying the fresh baked muffins, cakes, cookies and if you are lucky.. brownies. So good. read more

I enjoyed very much finding this little gem of a place as I was working in Mountainair for a project. The food tasted like my gram made it and was very yummy and fresh. But moreover, the people were AWESOME. and the vibe very relaxed and easy. Order at your table but pay at the register. I'll be back for some goodness when I come back through town! read more

Excellent food, great atmosphere. I had the scramble, fresh ingredients. Yummy coffee. Give yourself a little time as food seems to be cooked from scratch. My girlfriend had the small burrito, great portion, tasty. Great red, interesting in a tasty way, little sweet. Green was yummy! read more

Seriously good breakfasts. My wife and I go here a few times per month and enjoy the CCB and the pancakes. They have really cool, tasty Italian sodas. Kind of an orange creamsicle taste. read more

I waited 35 minutes for a breakfast burrito to go. After 20 minutes I settled my bill in cash so I could run when I got served. Waited another 15. I watched tables being served slowly: the kitchen served up orders One. Plate. At. A. Time. ...So when I asked how much longer and she said another 5 minutes, I didn't believe it because several people before me still hadn't been served, so I said "forget it" and I left. I was already late by then. Didn't even get my money back. I can't rate the food since I never tasted it. read more

Make a point to stop in at Alpine Alley in Mountainair just north of the stoplight on Hwy 55. Sit down, relax, and enjoy a step back in time. Great food (the best hamburger I believe I've ever had!) along with kind, friendly locals and travellers alike. Fresh bakery items every day also which is a plus. Josh and Faye are delights...and have one of the best cooks (Zane) in all of NM back in the kitchen!!! read more

We used to love going to this place. Then, apparently, it changed owners. We went back recently, after about a year away. There was only one other couple in the restaurant and the service was awful. First, our table was dirty and we asked to have it cleaned. The waitress took our order and said she'd be back to clean it. We waited and waited and then decided to just change tables. When we ordered, the waitress wasn't sure what the sides were and there were only 2. We noticed the other customers having to ask where their sides were when their orders came. When our orders came, they had our sides but we had to ask for silverware and napkins. We had witnessed the other customers having to do the same. As far as the food, we ordered an old favorite. The menu is the same but the food was greasier. We won't be returning. read more

When you first walk in you will be greeted with a look that you are annoying. It does not matter what type of person you are, all receive this. You will be surprised how bad and slow it is here. Save yourself the headache and time - keep driving to somewhere else. As many other reviews state, wait times for a to go burrito can reach 30 minutes. This happened with no one else eating in the restaurant, only one person sitting drinking coffee. Another time I have waited almost an hour for food that was wrong. They have no reason to care about doing a good job here. You have to wonder if they run out of items and go over to their house to get more ingredients. read more

If you're looking for authentic New Mexican then maybe go elsewhere. First trip had an omelette with the green chile sauce, really just watered down milk gravy with some sporadic pieces of chile. Very underwhelming. Second time around had a breakfast burrito with the red chile. Very sweet tasting; i believe they added sugar to tone down the fact that it was probably too acidic due to poor quality chiles. I'll give them one more try and see what happens. Owner was very friendly though read more

The food was so delicious and worth the wait! BLT, burger, fries were yummy. The waffles and pancakes also so good!

I love this place! Very friendly and a great stop in between checking out missions and trails. The veggie sandwich on oat nut bread is fantastic! read more

Went to this café because of the reviews on yelp. Granted we were a large party (12), but it should not have taken almost TWO hours to get our food. We would have gone elsewhere but it is the only restaurant in town. Some of us got what we ordered, some were not happy. The orders came out slowly which we were kind of expecting, but the cook/kitchen aid could use training in short order prep. Service could be improved. read more

My hiking partner and I are doing the 800 mile Grand Enchantment Trail and swung through Mountain Air to resupply our food and rest overnight. We found this Cafe listed in our guide book and were very happy with the service and access to free wifi. Their coffee drinks rivaled those at home in Seattle and Portland, and it's got a great mix of locals and visitors filling the tables. read more

Wonderful cafe, friendly family owned, amazing food. What could be better? When visiting or driving through, I highly recommend stopping at the Alpine Alley read more

Yes, we found Alpine Alley because of the Yelp reviews. We had brunch there today. My wife got the soup and half sandwich special while I got a ham, tomato and Swiss omelet.. The wife said she would give the food five stars but that it was a little slow in getting to the table. When you come to a chatty coffee shop like this one, I don't think you can expect speed. The "cooking" area is the size of a card table. The omelet I got was nothing special but what do you want for $4.25. It was good and I enjoyed it. This is a place I could enjoy returning to often, just for the comfort and to hear what's going on in town. read more

Stopped for a late breakfast. What a great place. Evidently we had just missed the early breakfast crowd. Sat at the bar where there were fresh muffins, scones and donuts. Ordered a breakfast which was fresh and cooked in front of us. Poured our own coffee at the coffee bar where we had a choice of all different coffee mugs. A local guitarist was playing in the corner (great music) and the only other people there were locals. Great conversations and great fun. Would go back to Mountanair just to stop at the Alpine Alley. read more
