    Mexican Mocha
    Riley H.

    This place is really cute, and seems like it has a great atmosphere. The ambiance and seating is great. However, I wouldn't say I had a great experience. I ordered a Mexican Mocha, and while good, it didn't taste spiced as advertised. Additionally, it was a double, but costed over $10. Lastly, the woman working at the counter wasn't particularly nice. At the counter, she was straight to the point in a way that felt a little harsh/aggressive. I've been a barista for a couple places over a few years, and never found myself talking to customers that way. My partner was waiting for me outside the restroom, and she rudely told him it wasn't a public restroom. He explained that he was just waiting for me, and that I had in fact made a purchase, but she still responded in a rude tone before she walked away. I completely understand the concern over the restrooms, but approaching the situation with rudeness is unnecessary, especially once explained. I'm glad we stopped by, and I'm sure this is a nice place that people enjoy. Based on other ratings, it seems to be great usually. It just happens to be that my experience today was on the poorer side.

    Breakfast at Cakes Cafe with Dessaria, the owner!
    Kelly U.

    Great breakfast food from scratch and friendly service. Cool local cafe with a nice menu and breakfast all day. Walked here, but parking in this part of Santa Fe requires some planning or walking. Definitely worth giving this spot a try, we will likely be back for more!

    I fell into this place upon arriving in Sante Fe today. I started with a Mexican Cacoa coffee drink and then got a roasted green chili pannini. YUM to both. The sandwich comes with a variety of side options. I chose a green salad with balsamic viniagrette. The place is funky, wirh good music playing and is very dog friendly- hence the relaxed dog pic. There was a tarot gal on location for the day, if you wish for a reading Cha-cha was the gal running the place. She's welcoming, friendly, informative and quick. Loved the vibe!

    Chicken Pesto Sandwich with Chips

    Cakes Café is a nice and cute spot with great ambiance. The staff is friendly and the food was really good. Definitely worth a visit!

    Margarita Pizza

    This is an artsy spot serving a handful of food options. We picked this as a second choice after the place we found parking for and walked too turned out to be closed. Cake's was nearby and as it turned out, had more than cakes and breakfast. They had a very tasty garbanzo bean salad that we both enjoyed. Nice and tangy with a clear balsamic type sauce/dressing. Both the pizza and Italian BLT were a nice surprise for what is mostly a coffee cafe from the looks of things. The people working that day were extremely welcoming and friendly which gave me reason to stay and I'm glad we did.

    Breakfast burrito
    Anna S.

    Good bang for your buck. I had the double latte and my husband had the breakfast burrito. The latte was a bit more expensive than what I'm usually used to paying but it was tasty. My husband really enjoyed the breakfast burrito which came with a side salad. The server was friendly and the cafe vibe was pleasant. Would recommend!

    Cakes Cafe Dating Event. Perfect spot.
    Julie F.

    My new go-to spot for casual gatherings, fun / creative events - singles events, karaoke, open mic. Great coffee, mimosas, vino, beer, desserts, and excellent thin, crispy crust pizza too. I hosted a private event there after hours, and it was a big hit. The service is warm, friendly, and accommodating--I am so happy to have found Cakes Cafe.

    vegan french toast

    ambiance was great, staff was kind and helpful and there were games available on tables. service was amazing and so many vegan options. the vegan french toast is a must try. definitely would return to try the rest of the vegan menu

    Tomato Caprese salad and pear gonzola salads. Delicious!

    BEST COFFEE EVER! As my family and I were walking around the plaza, we wanted some coffee. We ended…read moreup coming across this hidden gem! The minute we walked into this coffee shop, we were kindly greeted by everyone working. Then, we were given a sample of their caramel sauce that is house made. Apparently, a majority of their syrups and sauces are made in house which is a PLUS. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with caramel drizzle. I've been to a lot of coffee shops and dare i say that this was the BEST VANILLA LATTE i've ever had! We sat outside (they have outdoor and indoor seating which is nice). We had accidentally spilled some coffee, thankfully Kagome was so SWEET and HELPFUL, she immediately came to clean up the mess. Thank you again Kagome! We truly appreciated the staff and the entire ambiance of the shop. Definitely will be coming back!!! Last note. If you're not a big fan of coffee, then I 100% recommend the horchata (it's made in house). SO GOOD!

The girl at the register was really friendly. They had brewed coffee ready in a thermos, and when I asked if it was fresh, she let me taste it first, which I appreciated. It was smooth but a little lighter than the dark roast I was hoping for. My daughter ordered an iced mango espresso, but it had an unexpected cucumber-like flavor that wasn't really our thing. Overall, it's a great little café with a welcoming atmosphere and definitely worth stopping by if you're exploring Santa Fe.

The inside is dirty and uninviting but I was needing a place right away so I committed. The carrot cake looked really good so I asked the girl for a piece. She was very odd. She started at me as if she couldn't believe someone asked for the carrot cake. She said something I couldn't understand. My friend jumped in to help but she just looked at him too. So odd. Eventually she handed me a styrofoam container with carrot cake in it. I also ordered a small Americano. The Americano was good and the carrot cake was good, but it was a small piece and not worth $13! I asked for the Wi-Fi password, but the other girl working in the counter also kind of stared at me and shrugged her shoulders. I asked again she said "I don't know it" I tried to ask the other girl and she said"we don't know it because no one's ever asked for it before". I said, "but you're a coffee shop and the Wi-Fi is there for guests. We just need the password." And she shrugged her shoulders and walked away. I had to do my Zoom call on my phone walking down the sidewalk because I wasn't staying there.

Ordered the honeybee (espresso with honey,…read morelavender, and steamed milk) and the very last pastry in the case--a blue corn lavender doughnut. The latte didn't do anything for me...it was overly sweet without really tasting of honey or lavender, and was too thick or something. The doughnut, however, was a different story. The blue cornmeal gave it a really nice texture--a bit crunchy, and the icing had actual lavender, not just flavoring. Best $2 I've spent today! They also have Hagen Daaz, for those who are into eating ice cream when it's 33° outside.

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. Our coffee orders also took a little bit to get, but we enjoyed that time reading their newspaper and coloring in their coloring book! Would definitely return here if I am in the area.

It's the second time we've seen this in 2 days. Yuck. There's a lack of food items here. Only burritos and croissants, and when we arrive around 1 pm, there were only ham and cheese croissants, which did not appeal to us.

Cafecito has been showing up on my reels and it looked like the kind of special I wanted. Just a few steps away from the Railyards, this place seems to be in its own island, in a quiet corner. The place is simple in decoration, with lots of plants, plenty of natural light, and a cozy vibe. The manager or owner greeted us. We started special the right way . Staff took a little longer than I expected to take our order (or I may have been veeeery hungry). However, our order came quite quick! The hubby ordered the Santa Fe and Carne Empanadas with lentil soup. I ordered the Gaucho to get some range. The empanadas were quite good and tasty. They were on the medium size, well packed with protein, with a nice and soft pastry. The Santa Fe had very fragrant green chiles and good seasoning on the chicken. The Carne had an amazing taste on the wagyu with a bit of spice and sweet with those peppers. The lentil soup was thick and tasty with every spoonful. The Gaucho, unfortunately, was not as successful as the empanadas. The sourdough was thinly sliced and perfectly toasted, pairing well with the butter and quince jam. The provolone and tomatoes were confusing, but they were well portioned. The eggs were fluffy and ok, nothing to die for, just well executed. The flank steak relied a lot on the chimichurri, which added great acidity, but without it, the steak did not have its own seasoning or flavor. It was satisfying, but the visuals tricked me into thinking it was going to blow my mind. Overall, this is a nice space to hang with friends for a special occasion and enjoy some tasty options. I'm interested in returning to try other things. I like when a place sparks my curiosity.
