    From a different visit and I'm cracking up at myself that I wore the same shirt love this place
    Jonathan L.

    Absolutely adore this place. One of our favorite stops in Santa Fe. Always good food great quality. Staff is always warm friendly and consistent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the ambience such a sweet vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great food!

    BLUE CORN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE with chicken and Red/Green Chile
    Andrew R.

    I really wanted to like this place, but alas, the food was so-so/average, and the service was less than stellar. I dined with my wife and 10 others at a large table during the Santa Fe Foodies meet-up. I tried the BLUE CORN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE with chicken and Red/Green Chile (Christmas). Added an egg. The green chile was somewhat flavorless, while the red was better, with nice heat, but far from the best in town (IMHO, thus far, Café Castros). The chicken was nice, as was the garnish of lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro, and sour cream. But for $22, I was underwhelmed. My wife and four others had the special, which was Eggplant Parmesan. It was okay, but again, nothing special, and the 'garlic' bread lacked both garlic and flavor. This dish came with a salad; the server never asked what anyone wanted for a dressing, instead providing different salad dressings to other people. The service was subpar; the servers didn't know who ordered what, even though all the food arrived at the same time, which can be challenging for a table this big. We were presented with our checks without being offered dessert. No one recalled being asked if we were pleased with the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is rather loud, and the wooden chairs lacking cushions are rather uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food and service weren't bad, but it wasn't such that I'd be inclined to return, considering there are so many other, better options in this foodie town. It is nice that the restaurant has ample parking in this part of town. All in all, underwhelming, average, three stars.

    nothing about this place is bad but nothing about it is great either. Just OK, maybe we just ordered the wrong thing, but I was unimpressed with the selection on the menu. Most likely will not return.

    Green chile burger
    Jennifer W.

    Had lunch here on Saturday with a group of six. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sat on patio in lovely shade with lots of native greenery/trees around us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was delicious and service was very attentive! I had the burrito with carne adovada and Christmas sauce; I couldn't decide which sauce was better bc both were excellent. Friends had the burger, margarita chicken bowl, and fish tacos. We also shared the watermelon and poached pear salads, which were the hit of the meal! We plan to try to replicate both at home.

    Texas Buffalo Burger

    Delicious burger even though I was tempted by the ceviche flight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Easy to get a table and lovely al fresco dining![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have had several wonderful lunches here. I didn't know they were open for dinner until today. Owned by super nice people and they have great staff.!

    Green chili Alfredo pasta with chicken

    DELICIOUS!!!! Cafe Catron is now open for dinner on Thursday-Saturday. All of our dishes were incredible and we ate every bit. Great wine selection too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is nice and staff is attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A definite should do

    Caldo de Puerco
    Lindsay F.

    Came here for lunch while on vacation and it was great! The place is cute with nice decor, friendly and efficient service, and my dish was amazing! I decided to try something new and had the Caldo de Puerco and it was delicious!

    My wife and I are regular customers for breakfast and occasionally for lunch. The servers are always courteous and attentive, and the food is consistently well-prepared and delicious.

    Got a cappuccino w/ oat milk. Loved the deep flavor of the espresso. They have a variety of food…read morethat's priced fairly and affordably. I got the roasted shishito peppers as a light snack and they came with a creamy dipping sauce. The staff were chill and helpful. The ambiance is one of my favorites because It's very calm and chill and people are working or just hanging out. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We wanted to sit outside but it was busy so we opted for a high table indoors. Overall I enjoyed my coffee and food and will definitely be back!

    Iconik reminds me of those coffee houses in the late '90s where people would come hang out for…read morehours, talk with friends, and bring their laptops to work. The employees/baristas and customers were so friendly here! I'm from San Diego and was visiting Santa Fe for a week with my family. I tried to sample many of the coffee shops in town and this one stood out for its friendly service and warm atmosphere, plus quality coffee. I ordered the horchata latte and it was delicious! However, it didn't seem very strong coffee-wise (I believe my latte had two shots of espresso?), so I had to come back like an hour later to get a second one to satisfy my caffeine needs. The breakfast/brunch options looked amazing and were reasonably priced, but during our stay we did not end up eating here...we simply ran out of time! The space is within a shared work building right off the street, walkable from where we were staying and close enough to walk to the Plaza. I enjoyed walking here on a few mornings and getting the feel of what it might be like to be a local in town, while scanning the many clothing and other types of shops along the way. Overall I'd recommend this coffee shop for friendly vibes and yummy coffee drinks...but next time I'd add an extra shot to my latte.

Each day someone else was working the counter and every single person was inviting and friendly. We tried the iced caramel latte and iced brown sugar espresso. The caramel latte was our favorite. I did not stop in for food since even though the board mentioned gluten-free options, it seemed like the staff wasn't really informed about them. The cafe also hosts several events. I would highly recommend their coffee if you're in the area!

    Cake's is the locals go-to spot, cuz we know what's really good around here!…read more The food is delicious, and they have everything you want no matter what your hunger level. Sometimes, my go to is one of their yummy pastries, but if I'm real hungry, I'll go for a breakfast burrito or a Panini with a side salad. The service is so good you leave feeling like an old friend of the staff. They are warm, engaging, and always happy to see you. The ambience is chill with plenty of places to sit and chat or work. There's good music playing in the background and great events going on throughout the week at various staggered times. The location is smack dab in downtown with a gorgeous view of the famous Seret and Sons from their large windows that let in tons of lovely natural light. There's also a cool bar area you could sit out and work from or chitchat with a friend. Thank you, Cake's Team! You are all amazing!
