It is truly a work of art and one of the top 5 breakfast burritos i've ever had. This is not a new phenomenon. I first had one of their burritos while staying in Lyden in 2017 and they were great back then! A well stocked and refined co-op, a jewel of the community, friendly staff and you can tell this is where everyone meets to catch up. Don't forget to check out the book shelf near the library.

Ordered pork chop breakfast special, one dessert, and water. Red chile was high quality but $26 (not including tip) seemed overpriced for breakfast with no drink. Strange: no itemized bill provided (and specials don't have prices listed), so I'm not sure if I was incorrectly charged. Must have, right? Lots of bothersome flies at indoor table too. Yet to be determined if I'll return. Too bad: the food was pretty good.

I tried their quiche, which was homemade and delicious, and their fruit salad, which was fresh and cool and sweet. Their coffee was great. I enjoyed chatting with the owners and another customer, but there were also people there working or reading quietly too. The place is super cute and great for a stay or to grab and go. I also took an ice tea and bagel for the road--both perfect. If I lived in Las Vegas or were staying in town longer, I'd hang out here for even more time. They have plenty of free parking on the street, good homemade baked goods, good air conditioning, and they've successfully created a homey place for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or tea.

Cute spot in a sunny location by the Castañeda!…read more So many gems and surprises to look through (and purchase) in the front of the shop. The pastry/bakery selection looked great. I will try them next time. They have the basic coffee options, lots of teas, and lemonades. Unfortunately, this was my first visit and I didn't know to-go cups were not available and was offered mugs to go (no lids). Not ideal, so if you don't plan to enjoy your drink there, bring your own cup with a lid! We ordered 2 iced lattes but opted to skip the ice in the mugs. It was an adventurous drive home, but we made it!

They were having some local get together inside and treated us just like a local. Coffee was strong and hot and the food was good. Had a pistachio cookie(wonder if they ship) that good.

This cute little coffee shop was not hard to find, it's located in a little town out of no where. As soon as I walked in, the first thing I see is the rainbow flag on the wall and I tell my son.. hey they represent your gang! :-) The next thing I notice is the rest of the cute decor. There was 2 other people in the coffee shop when we got there and shortly after others started to come in. They had a display case with a few baked goods and they have some unique flavors. I got the coffee with honey and it was quite good. It gave me a little boost in energy. I wanted a little more energy, but it did what it needed to do to get me to my next destination. The shop has several tables and thank goodness they had a restroom! Restroom was semi clean, but overall the place was clean. If I was ever in the area again, I would definitely stop here again and give this place another chance. Parking is not bad, there's not a lot of people so it was not an issue. There's other businesses nearby and I'm not sure what the day to day looks like, but it did not seem busy at all. The locals seem to like this place as it's rated pretty high. I did not get a chance to try the baked goods, but they did look delicious, if I ever come back then I would love to try that next time!

Felt extremely welcoming. This was such a fun find to wrap up our NM camping. Kind people, good food, and $5 wine! If you are passing through the area, please stop here. You will be very happy. I had to get a tshirt to support them while I'm out in Denver. (I was so influenced by our waitress to get one!) 10/10 you guys. (immediately followed your instagram!!!!)
