It's a hidden gem! Good selection of food & drinks. We tried empanada carne and steak salad plus Chimichurri fries. The empanada was ok, the steak salad was perfect choice for something light with meat, too bad that we received it well done instead of medium rare request. The fries were too salty for my taste. Overall it is a good restaurant especially if you are tired of Mexican food while in Santa Fe

My first visit here was amazing! I was visiting for house hunting and was told to visit this wonderful gem of a place. The panquques are delicious and so are the empanadas! Cannot go wrong with any of them! (Though I do have my favorites ) Our server was a wonderful lady as well! Came with my S/O of course too, and we were so pleased to see that it's such an inviting atmosphere that's also dog friendly. We immediately came here once we officially moved a month later, and we saw the same server and she remembered us! How can you not love a place so warm and inviting with such phenomenal staff?

I'm reviewing Cafecito as my first spot of 2025 because for me, it was a good reminder of something that I'm trying to focus on, which is it's OK to treat yourself sometimes. Like seriously even if you're going out it alone, we all deserve a beautiful meal every once in a while. I came to Cafecito solo before a work event. I don't spend much time in Santa Fe. You know how it is living in Albuquerque even though it's pretty close it's not always top of mind. Anyways, I've been through Cafecito before, but never for a full meal. One perk of coming somewhere alone is it's often much easier to get a seat. Anyways, I sat down and just enjoyed the environment. It's very open and filled with life. I ordered the Argentine Way with a croissant and the skirt steak, as well as both the jam and the dulce de Leche. It was such a beautiful meal and so simple. I also ordered a latte and that was amazing as well. Service was very friendly. Truly, everything was great. The definition of five stars.

Another excellent meal, today PERUVIAN ROAST CHICKEN and Stuffed Trout, both superb. Great service too. Went at 11 AM just as lunch started, easy to park and get in. By the time we left, it was packed. Highly recommend the trout, it was outstanding!

September 5, 2025 is my first visit to this loveliest establishment. I'm in Santa Fe visiting family. My Google search for breakfast places near me brought me here. There is good parking nearby. Some in their parking lot and some on the street. If you haven't been here before, the streets wind around a little bit and you may feel like you're lost but stay with your GPS and keep your eyes open. Excellent building design with big windows and nice natural light. Seating is both inside and outside. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I came at midmorning, so there was no wait to have breakfast. I chose the empanada and will say I was very impressed. The pastry is thin and delicate, and the inside is packed with a mixture of meats, potatoes and eggs. The chimichurri sauce is a welcome addition to this lovely food. It was very fun to have a little salad on the plate for breakfast! The orange juice was refreshing and delicious and I really like their coffee. Prices are very good.

Had breakfast here and everything was delicious. Plenty of seating inside and out, great service. Our server even told us how certain things were prepared, hand chopping versus blender so leaves would not get bruised for the chimichurri. .

Winter in SFE! The entrance to a great breakfast joint.

We arrived about 1130am on Sunday and the business was jumpin'! Our server, Rayna, took our order for drinks promptly and delivered our crème de leche, butter and breads (croissant and focaccia was buttery goodness, glutenized), coffees and a green drink. She took our order for a Argentinian Steak Salad, a breakfast empanadas, Lomito Completo, and an order of Gramajo Revuelto. All were so flavorful, cooked perfectly, and presented in a manner which was appetizing (the Gramajo Revuelto is a bit of melty, spicy, green mess.) Rayna and the rest of the service staff didn't miss a beat. Our party bought a couple of jars of Dulce de Leche to take home so we could try and recreate the experience (good luck!) The Barrista was so cool and loved chatting. We'll definitely be back! Give Cafecito a go!

This is a fabulous Argentine coffee shop in the art district of Santa Fe. We always visit here on our annual trip. I love the atmosphere, with comfy seating, loads of plants, and sunlight streaming into the place. Good gluten free options for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The prices are a little steep, unfortunately. (Please stop upcharging on the dairy free milk!) If you're in the area I highly recommend you pay Cafecito a visit too!

Such a hidden gem! Heading out to Santa Fe for lunch with my GF was well worth the trip. We arrived separately and I was seated in a sunny part of the restaurant. It was perfect as the weather still had a chill,in the air. Lots of natural light fills this cafe. The sun rays gave warmth to the space. We ordered hibiscus tea, hot. Tea was just what we needed to warm up. I later ordered the avocado toast. My egg was cooked as I liked it ...hard scrambled. My plate arrived with a beautiful green salad on the side which complemented my avocado toast. Perfect meal for lunch. Our wait staff was attentive but also gave us our space to enjoy the atmosphere and conversation. I have added this place as a nice stop when looking for new places to bring a friend.

Ambiance is great. The decor is very summer, plants lot of windows, awesome front patio. The service was ok as in They are friendly but the place was empty, just opened and it took them 35 mins for food to come out. Well ordered coffee, dulce de leche latte and ordered extra dulce did not taste anything in the coffee other than milky coffee. Ordered avocado toast and a granola bowl. When food finally got to the table, it was very good. Toast was super toasted to where I couldn't cut with the knife provided. I would return with plenty of time to spare.

This restruant was soo pretty and i loved all the greener. The food was delicious, although a bit pricey it was worth it. Our server was very kind and attentive. If youre in Santa fe I would reccomend :) also me and my sister got the swing seats and it was lit

This is a truly hidden gem in a mixed use neighborhood. I cannot say enough nice things about this place. Food, service, ambiance were all stellar. Cocktails were amazing and there are 2 dog friendly patios. They gave my hubby a complimentary flan for his birthday. One of the best flans I've ever had! Not too sweet and creamy consistency.

Would give it 4.5 because they were out of hot sauce but that's not a huge dealbreaker to me. Great food presented very nicely and fantastic coffee. Calm, semi-quiet/semi-loud atmosphere. Can hear the kitchen but it is not overwhelming. Beautiful potted plants everywhere in an industrial style building with smooth all-wood furniture. Kind and quick service staff.

What a hidden gem! This wonderful little spot is worth finding and enjoying. The food is delectable, and the service is great! The empanadas are baked to perfection. The lemonade is homemade and is the right combination of sweet and tart. Although busy, the staff was friendly and eager to share tips. I don't know where or how the owner found such a terrific group of delightful professionals. There are at least a dozen other entrees that I definitely want to try---pastas, etc. Don't pass this place up! It's worth the search. read more

My first visit to Cafecito, I may just go for tea or coffee next time. It was a very nice place to sit and talk with friends, but the food was disappointing. My breakfast empanada ($18) had a very hard crust and dried out filling. It came with three "cardboard" like tomato slices and half an avocado. The alfajores didn't seem fresh, as the shortbread was soft. read more

This place is adorable! It has a fair selection of tea and coffee. I only stopped in for a snack. Two of us shared a vegetarian empanada, a ricotta empanada, and a cup of soup. The food was very good, but not the best I've had. The ricotta empanada was half the size of the rest of them. All told, the atmosphere is lovely and the service was very good. I will definitely be back for the hibiscus tea and to try more menu items! read more

Went for Sunday brunch last week. Seated outside at a table so hot our phones overheated. Took 45 min to get our non-alcoholic beverages, water refill was 1/3 glass. When I asked for a refill on my iced tea server said it would be a while as they were busy. I asked if I could run in and get it she stated me down and said absolutely non. Total time, 2 hrs for an average meal and $60 tab. There did not appear to be a manager on duty. I'm a local and former admirer of the cafe but will not recommend until they get a competent manager and friendly staff. read more

Stopped by Cafecito a few days ago for some coffee and empanadas as an afternoon snack. Everything was so good that my friends and I planned to visit again today for breakfast! The menu is unique and showcases a wide range of different cuisines (Argentinian, Italian, Armenian,etc.) and the ambiance can't be beat. It is in a repurposed warehouse and the restaurant is fully surrounded by windows. Everything we tried was delicious and the service was great! We were some of the first people to try the Hibiscus Mimosa they are planning to add to the menu. It was out of this world good! Everyone should give this place a try. read more

I have been here a number of times, for each of the meals (even dinner when they were trying that). The facility itself is just lovely, open, bright, contemporary and set is a sweet, tranquil setting. The food is OK, but has never wowed me. The value is my complaint. I think the prices for what you get are too high. An example is avocado toast for almost $15. I make this at home and it never takes more than 1/2 avocado (more like 1/3). I add pico de gallo to mine for pizzaz; then there is the bread and no special cooking skill required (good sourdough--how much is that?). $10 seems like a reasonable charge that. Or, take chilaquiles for $18, this is a really simple dish to make (a hash really), no skill required with pretty cheap ingredients. Anyway, that is my 2 cents worth; I'm a value shopper, but I think you get that. read more

Where do I start... Santa Fe visit to this Argentina gem. From the moment you arrive you can tell this is going to be dinner to remember. Celebrating my birthday, I love to try new places. From the moment you approach the court yard to the mon you sit down. The ambiance is on point with court patio sitting, lighting and lots of beautiful landscaping. My Dulce de leche coffee was perfect. My mom order a pot of tea sever in a cute tea pot with fresh honey. The empanadas entrees was plenty for three of us. As I mention it's all about the details served on a beautifully wood charcuterie board with a flight of sauces. Anything but ordinary this place won't disappoint. read more

When I come to Santa Fe, I tend to be a traditionalist- choosing to eat in the area around the Plaza only. But I stumbled across Cafecito on Yelp & decided to try something new this time. Cafecito is a lovely cafe specializing in Argentinean- inspired causal dishes located in the Baca District, which nests inside the more recently developed Railyard Santa Fe area- close to the Plaza area but clearly a more modern side of Santa Fe. Service was great, food & latte delicious, lots of covered outdoor seating, temperate weather- beautiful September morning brunch! read more

I'm fortunate I was able to visit Cafecito pre-COVID, and have enjoyed takeout since then. My husband is Argentinian-Chilean, and it's hard to find good Argentinian-style empanadas, but Cafecito's are fabulous. It was literally a taste of home for my husband and his parents, and I really love the food too. I recommend the milanesas (either chicken or steak). I also appreciate they have family-style meals for pickup. Delicious! read more

I pass through while my road trip from CA to NJ. I stopped at this place and I loved the atmosphere. Good customer service. There isn't anything wrong with the place but I want to leave my review in regards the Empanada Breakfast. I was disappointed for the eggs were over cooked, and the empanada shell fell like the crunchy edge of the empanada was under cooked. It didn't have much of a favor. I'm originally from Peru and I grew up eating them. I've also tried the Argentina empanadas. The empanadas from this business isn't authentic but it is an okay try. read more

SO cute. This is such a special tucked away spot in SF with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating for us to social distance. I was a little disappointed with the menu, it's really small for breakfast. Cafecito 10 am-11am is ideal for a quick coffee and baked good, perfect for a business meeting or just a morning to relax. With plenty of breakfast spots nearby, perhaps skip Cafecito and head elsewhere if you're looking for a full meal. OR, come back after 11 for a larger lunch menu! read more

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!

There were a lot of customers with their laptops and tablets enjoying the free wifi. They have a limited coffee menu when compared to Starbucks, but who needs that many choices. I enjoyed drinking coffee from a ceramic mug instead of a paper cup. They have a really large roaster right next to the seating area. Just which I could have seen it in action.

35 North Coffee

We woke up early to walk around the plaza, and since not much was open on an early Sunday morning,…read morewe were happy to find 35 North Coffee open. I had a great cappuccino and the staff was super friendly. They have a cute balcony with great views of the street, plus extra indoor seating if you prefer to stay inside. Such a nice little spot to start the morning. Definitely check them out!

35 North is located at the Shops at Santa Fe on level 2. There was plenty of signage (shown in the…read morephotos) directing us to the right location, so it was easy to find. The café has a cool, modern vibe with plenty of indoor seating as well as a nice outdoor patio. They were very busy on a Saturday morning. The counter staff was very matter-of-fact. Not rude, but not especially warm or welcoming either. Honestly, I got the impression she was just under a lot of stress. We also asked another staff member if we could use one of the patio umbrellas (they were all closed for some reason), and he was prompt and friendly, which we appreciated. We ordered a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, a meat-filled empanada, a honey latte, and a cold brew. The cold brew was a little too dark for my taste, though coffee preferences are definitely subjective. Interestingly, there's a place in Albuquerque that has an almost identical flavor profile. The toasted everything bagel was very good, but it didn't come with quite enough cream cheese. The single cream cheese packet also felt a bit lackluster presentation-wise. That said, when we asked for more, the response was friendly and accommodating. The honey latte had beautiful latte art and great flavor, definitely a highlight. The empanada, filled with ground beef, green chile, and piñon, was a bit over-toasted, but the filling itself was flavorful, even if somewhat sparse. Overall, I think 35 North has a lot going for it and could easily elevate the experience with a few small improvements to consistency and customer service.

The green chile breakfast burritos are an absolute must-try--deliciously flavorful, especially when paired with their house sauce. We also ordered the egg and bacon sandwich, which came loaded with bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and onions. Every single item was a decent, satisfying size and tasted amazingly delicious.

The burrito's flour tortilla is so crispy, it's insane, convection oven baked with little salt crystals.

The staff are so nice too, they gave us samples of their soups (green chili stew was incredible!!, butternut squash was yummy with a little kick) and a treat for our dog. The outdoor patio is so relaxing with beautiful sculptures. The chef is expertly trained, you can tell with the quality of the food. Everyone seated around us seemed very happy with their soups, sandwiches and coffee drinks. A must visit in Santa Fe!!

It was sweet without being too sweet and the rosemary, thyme and cardamom gave it a unique twist. This place is on the smaller side and there's not a whole lot of seating, although they do have a few outdoor spots.

The Chile Shop

The highest quality and authentic New Mexican chili shop. I learned about this shop via my 1993…read moretamales book, they listed this shop and Los Chileros as two sources. Chile shop carries Los Chileros and so does five and dime. Los Chileros is a very authentic New Mexican brand of chili products and seasonings, they sell to almost every major New Mexican restaurant. Five and dime uses Los Chileros chili powder for their famous frito pie. It's a very complex chili. The Chile shop's brand of chili powder is so amazing too I'm thankful I bought the 1 lb bag of spice because I made beef adovada at home with that spice and oh my gosh, it literally tastes like I'm in New Mexico and boy is it hot. Very simple store with only new Mexico's best. Kind and helpful staff, very cool store for sure. My only regret is that I didn't stock up enough. Well I guess that's incentive for me to go back to Santa Fe!!

The website has a dated feel to it but I feel that's because they focus on the product, not the bells and whistles. We even visited the physical store in Santa Fe on a road trip. It has to be good if you're willing to drive 1800 miles to be there in person. It was almost a pilgrimage. The cherry on top? My 91-year-old Hispanic mother-in-law gets all her chilis here. If that's not a ringing endorsement, nothing is.

From the moment you step in, you're greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance that feels like a hug in a cup. The history here is rich, and you can tell the people who founded and work at Cafecito pour their hearts into every corner of this special spot. I ordered a Breakfast Empanada, and wow - this thing is huge! Perfectly crispy on the outside with a heavenly filling of egg, hash browns, chorizo, and provolone. I topped it off with their chimichurri and green chili sauce for a little extra kick. Since it was chilly outside, they let me swap the side salad for a soup, which was just what I needed. Talk about a thoughtful touch! Of course, I had to pair it with a Dirty Chai Latte - smooth, spicy, and soul-warming. This place is a brunch dream, blending comfort, flavor, and good vibes. If you love cozy spots with genuine people, Cafecito is a must-visit. read more

I miss the European ambiance and food but found it at Cafecito. Their meat empanadas are the best with just the right amount of spices. The dough is made from scratch which adds "extra flavor". On my second visit I ordered the Lomito. I was full and satisfied all afternoon and into late evening. This is truly a one of a kind experience with the owners/staff. I felt I was back in Europe and forgot how much I missed this "state of being". I am a customer forever........... read more
