One word: Wow. Go here, order anything. It will be worth your time, they make their sandwiches by hand, they use interesting and clearly very fresh ingredients and have good beer. What else is there? read more

After looking at pottery and sculpture for most of the day, we needed hydration, caffeine and a small bite. Cafe Des Artiste is the spot! Perfect buttery, flaky pastry, heavenly decadent truffles and quick, accurate service was the order of the day from Jean-Jacques and his staff. I cannot wait to come back and enjoy the spacious patio this spring or summer for a scoop of gelato. Stop into one of the oldest establishments near the Plaza in SFE. The proprietor is in the shop most days and loves to chat. Jean-Jacques has been in the cafe business for about 30 years and definitely knows what it takes to be successful! See him soon, and check out the cafe! Wonderful! read more

Cute coffee, pastry and lunch spot on the Artistes (Art Galleries) street. We popped in here and had a very nice freshly prepared sandwich for lunch. The sourdough bread was freshly baked and very tasty. Freshly brewed ice tea was great. Was tempted by the lineup of French Wines by the glass, but it was too early in the day. Service depends on how many customers. There is only one Frenchman behind the counter and he works hard and fast to get each order out, but sometimes the crowds make the wait a bit longer. It is worth the wait. Freshly baked cookies were tasty as well. Inside the seating space is small but feels spacious, with a few tables to sit. Glad I tried this place as there are many things to remind me of Paris, where the owner is from. read more

Too slow. The barista was not into his job. However the Coffee was very rich and smooth and not as pricey. The Music was festive as well. Just would have liked the service to be more upbeat and friendly. read more

Take a trip to Paris without leaving NM! We love this spot for coffee & Gelato! CUTE outdoor area, great coffee & pastries... and did I mention Gelato!? ;) We have spent many hours snacking & sipping lattes & breve cortados under the shade of their umbrellas, especially on lazy Sunday afternoons. And check out the AMAZING neighboring galleries! (My fave is Antieau Gallery, just down the street...) read more

Cafe Des Artistes - Restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

A bit of a Parisian sidewalk cafe in Santa Fe! We thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches. My wife enjoyed the ham & brie - she said it reminded her of her time in France. I loved the roast beef & muenster. The beef was lean and tender! Love the music - soft vocal jazz overhead. And to top off the experience, they serve Santa Fe Brewing Company beer! read more

Came after visiting the museum across the street for a quick cuppa tea late afternoon. 4:30 PM when we walked in. Although the posted hours say they're open until five they literally kicked us out at 10 till. The pastry sucked. The service was nonexistent, and since they were piling all the chairs and tables inside, as we arrived, one could say the ambience was also nonexistent. You can bet I'll never bring Visitors there again. read more

This is the PERFECT place to have come free and a snack in Santa Fe! On a quiet street off the plaza, it reminds me of coffee spots in Paris. Great coffee, nice treats( as well as meals if that's what you prefer), quiet music in the background, great staff. It's a neighborhood coffee spot as well as a spot to relax while visiting Santa Fe read more

NOT family friendly. NOT Hispanic friendly. We had not even ordered. We were sitting and waiting for the rest of our party to come. My 1 year old nephew made a little noise as he was waving to the people next to us (as babies often do) and we were approached by the waiter and asked "is your baby usually loud?" And then the waiter told us that if the baby is loud we should move and sit outside. It was not a warm day, it was very windy and not weather fit for a baby. There was also only one other table there and they were waving back at my nephew and did not complain. We felt very unwelcome. We immediately left and went somewhere else. Very classless and inconsiderate. Do better to accommodate the local families and not just tourist couples. Zero stars. read more

35 minutes to get a BLT horrifically slow service, absolutely no customer service at this location.

Unsanitary. The kid handling food/touching bread and chips , is the same kid handling customer money. No hand washing no gloves. Hans (the grumpy owner) condoned it. Who knows what germs travel through a tourist town??? read more

Delicious food. We had the mushroom soup and quiche. Friendly staff quiet environment. Got a chocolate croissant for later also delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Best described as just ok. I had the daily quiche which was ham and cheese with hatch chile. Not only did It take a long time (only two people there) but there was no chile flavor at all in my quiche. None. And the ham tasted old and dry. The side salad was good. Chocolate chip cookie was tasty so I'll give them that. read more

Cafe Des Artistes - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

A perfect place for lunch or a latte and pastry. A very French cafe feel with music to match: Hot Club of France, Segovia, ....

A great little French cafe steps away from the Plaza. We had chocolate filled beignets and a chocolate croissant. Both were delicious. We also had a latte and a cappuccino for drinks. We will definitely be back. read more

Cafe Des Artistes - Sidewalk in front of Cafe Des Artistes - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Sadly, after the owner of the cafe chose the side of a waiter because he kept using ma'am on me... And told me that life is too short to be upset about mis-gendering.... That patronizing behavior is something I can't enjoy even if the food is good and life is short. In that case I much rather go to Tres Colores (where my mural is still up and it's right next to this cafe I'll never visit), Agapao, La Mama or Iconik , or any other business that takes time to appreciate that it's 2024 and a trans and non-binary paying customer should be as respected and not told to be quiet. I left without demanding the return money since they clearly didn't care if they lose a paying local customer. If you are non-binary trans and local, you probably know how hard it is to be respected. Unless you can have a good conversation with the owner and help him become more respectful of trans and nonbinary crowd - expect the disrespect. The staff and the owner also were using wrong pronouns on me the whole time. Another excuse was that everyone is foreign. I'm from Siberia, this is my 3d language and the concept of respecting trans and non-binary people goes beyond language. LGBTQi+ people exist everywhere. Deeply disappointed, awful read more

Great place great coffee would recommend it to anyone. Really good baked goods will definitely come back.

The ham and brie sandwich was very bland and there was a single slice of ham in it. It was way over priced for the quality of the food. The matcha latte was ok and the service was quick. I would recommend it more as a quick coffee shop than a restaurant. read more

Great fresh food, speedy service, interesting menu. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Santa Fe.

One of the few places in town with real croissants. Good sandwiches and even a charcuterie platter. Nice atmosphere, just a block from the plaza. read more

Server was rude. As a Native Navajo woman, I don't feel welcomed here. I visited for the so called "best" matcha latte but was instead served green dyed milk. Blah. I don't recommend this place. read more

Husband and I went in and got iced lattes. They were delicious! Coffee was smooth and no bitterness at all. Highly recommend!

A lovely cafe near the plaza in downtown town Santa Fe. The owner is very nice with a wonderful sense of humor and the workers always are helpful. The architectural design is very nice and the plants out front and the new patio is a great new addition. Coffees of course are amazing and the iced chais are exquisite. All of the baked goods are made there and they taste amazing. Everything is clean and they are conscientious of Covid rules and restrictions. Go check them out and have a bite to eat!! read more

Cafe Des Artistes - inside of cafe - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Just popped in for a quick bite during the lead up to the art market. Cons: they seemed stressed and were a tiny bit backed up. Pros: the sandwich was fresh and light with nice ingredients. Very tasty. The chiles weren't hot at all but I may be a partial judge on that front. Perfect for a beautiful cool August day. It was prepared fairly quickly and was a low stress event as far as lunch in Santa Fe goes. I would definitely return. read more

Cafe Des Artistes - Avocado, havarti and chile sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Stopped in during the Pride parade. They need to teach the barista what coffee is however it was prepared very quickly. The food takes forever (which is only sandwiches and salads you could make at home) and the owner employs young individuals with no sense of service or quality food preparation. Some old bald guy was creeping in the background while I was there which made my visit quite uncomfortable (turns out he works there! Lol) And the floors were completely dirty which made them slippery. The only saving grace is a public restroom with no purchase required. I would love if this establishment took their business seriously but until then I won't be back. Pay a visit and see what I missed. P.S. While waiting I saw a couple come in who were completely ignored and eventually walked out. read more

My family and I stopped in for a quick bite on a trip to Santa Fe. We all ordered different sandwiches and they are all AMAZING. I got the avocado cheese and chile and it's something I will crave for the rest of my life. Coffee was great too! read more

Stopped in here after visiting the museum across the street. Cute little place that's quiet and perfect if you want to be away from the crowds for a little bit. The Bird & Berry is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had and the chai latte was perfect. read more

Food was fabulous. Good quality and prepared quickly. The latte was excellent. The owner Jean Jacques is very accommodating. I thought there was no heater outside but there is! Jean Jacques helped out. The music outside has a cosmopolitan feel. It was great after a long over 4 hour Saturday Governing Body meeting. I will definitely be back and bring friends!. read more

On a weekday at lunchtime, I felt bad for the employees here, who were scrambling, understaffed, without any management present. Service was disheveled, all orders came out wrong, and we discovered multiple hairs in our food. Great businesses are usually marked by an owner on the scene; this place was not that. Some mighty hoity-toity patrons to boot. Pass! read more

I love the NEW bright, clean and convenient location. there are a variety of food and drink options including dairy free and vegetarian. I appreciate how the walls are covered with art for sale by local artists. The food is absolutely delicious and was far more than I expected from this little café. read more

A charming little cafe a block or two off the plaza in Santa Fe, on a delightful street lined with galleries and home design shops. I was lured in by the fragrance of freshly baked pastries. I ordered a croissant. Magnifique! Fresh from the oven, buttery and flaky, just like all croissants should be (but unfortunately rarely are). Paired with a latte, sitting on their patio out front listening to their fun music playlist with my dog by my side - perfection! read more

Super cute place not far from the plaza with amazing sandwiches! The employees seem a little pressed (unpleasant customers didn't help) but handled order, food prep, and people management incredibly well! read more

We stumbled on this little gem while walking Canyon Road. We were looking for an affordable, laid back lunch and this was perfect. Delicious roast beef sandwich, kind owner, and tables in the shade! I would definitely recommend. read more

Cafe Des Artistes - Entry - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Our guidebook had recommended a lovely stroll up Canyon Road to see the various galleries and Cristo Rey church at the end, so when we set off, we had no idea how hungry we'd end up upon our return. Luckily, Cafe des Artistes is at the western end of the street, so on our way back we stumbled in on a very cold Monday, sat inside, and ordered our food. Either I was very hungry or their food was very good, but one way or another I forgot about how cold it was outside when I took my first bite of my veggie sandwich with fresh green chili peppers and avocados. Pure heaven! It was just the right degree of spicy, perfect size, and very filling. I admit, I was a bit disappointed that the sandwich didn't come with any sides. Maybe I'm just spoiled, but in my opinion, a sandwich should always be served with at least a pickle, some chips, a salad, or some fruit on the side. Regardless, the sandwich hit the spot after our trek. The cafe itself is very beautiful, with some indoor seating, plenty of outdoor seating. It's appropriately titled given its location on Canyon Road, famous for the art galleries, and the map of wine regions in France was very fun to look at. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Santa Fe! read more

Cafe Des Artistes - Cafe des Artistes, March 2009 - Sandwiches Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

This is a hidden gem by Santa Fe Plaza. Staying at the La Fonda and was looking for a casual lunch spot. The owed is awesome and food is just what I was looking for. Had a BLT sandwich. While it was being made I gazed at the delicious pastries, strategizing my morning meal! Stoked to have a Latte and pastries tomorrow morning! Highly recommend for anyone looking for casual dining. read more

Amazing food and amazing owner! The people commenting that it takes too long are just entitled. It's not a starbucks its a European experience. Americans are impatient and rushed. Best sandwiches and salads and lattes in town, who cares if you have to wait 5 minutes! read more

Great service, selection, and prices. The cafe also has an excellent location, close to the plaza and museums.
