    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!

    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.

    5/5 for the latte, food and vibes…read more Their latte is a must try here. I was pleasantly surprised when the latte tasted light with notes of berries. I also tried their lox on their homemade bagel and enjoyed every delicious bite of it. Must try. The place is spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating area.

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.

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.
