I don't live anywhere near New Mexico, but I visit sometime and I miss green chile when I'm gone…read more I really like Santa Fe Ole's products, and I order a case of green chile from them from time to time. This year I moved from one city to another, and for various reasons my order with Santa Fe Ole got mixed up and sent to my old house, which was impossible for me to get to. The company's owner, James, immediately sent an entire new case to my new address at no expense, with no hassle. Seriously great customer service.

My god, what a find!…read more A friend and I stumbled upon this store while on a two hour visit to Santa Fe on our way to Albuquerque. We loved it so much that we spent a significant amount of time in here sampling all of their balsamic vinegars. You'll feel like a kid in a candy store with all of the classy stainless steel dispensers available for you to sample at your leisure. It was so difficult to decide but I walked out of there a happy woman with a bottle of their 18 yr aged tradition balsamic vinegar (top seller) and a bottle of their, wait for it... Georgia Peach Balsamic Vinegar.. my god. As you would imagine, that vinegar is light colored, rich and sweet (just how I like my men). This place is a DEFINITE stop if you are a balsamic vinegar, olive oil and/or salt connoisseur. Prices are reasonable ($20/per bottle), considering the amount and the quality. I like to think of this place as a little slice of Europe in the middle of Santa Fe. Also, I came across this video tonight while trying to figure out if Oleaceae already had a presense on Yelp. It's informative and gives you an idea of the classy stainless steel dispensers I mention in my review: http://vimeo.com/19817153

In early July, I brought a group…read moreof high-level women to Santa Fe and one of our first activities was a Chocolate Immersion at the Kakawa Chocolate Tasting Room. Led by Bonnie, the owner , it was a terrific experience and one I would highly recommend for other groups. She has created a thoughtful and interesting 1.5 hour experience that walks you through the history and process of chocolate as you taste different chocolates which follow her presentation. At the end, you go to the nearby store to create a custom box of chocolate to take home. Bonnie is very knowledgeable and passionate about chocolate which shines through the experience. Even if you don't do the Immersion, I would suggest stopping by one of the Kakawa locations for high quality chocolate and elixirs (which by the way is vegan/non-diary). You will be glad you did!

My companion had a bagel with cream cheese which they happily toasted for her. I opted to grab a Tuscan ciabatta panini sandwich to make when I got home. They will actually toast the Panini there for you if you want to eat it there. My sandwich was delicious and my friend enjoyed her bagel and cream cheese. The customer service was absolutely excellent. Very friendly folks willing to help and provide information on the food and area. I'm really happy to have found this stop that offers so much more than just bagels and cream cheese. They have an extensive menu for breakfast including quiche, potato pie and pastries, among other yummy looking dishes. They also offer soups, salads, and dips, as well as a rather large sandwich menu. They offer both cold and hot sandwiches as well as a multitude of drinks, cookies, snacks, ice cream, and chocolates and other treats. Indoor tables are available in a rather open and spacious layout, should you decide to eat on site. Restrooms are also located in this area. Another tip is that you can park in the back instead of the front if you want to get really close to the restaurant. Next time I come, I'm coming hungry so I can try some of their offerings! I hope you give this nice little shop with an extensive menu a chance the next time you're in Santa Fe.

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.

At Kakawa, we came on a day when just one person was behind the counter and three people ahead of us. Do you know what that's like?! As we silently screamed "hurry up!" the chalkboard selections touted a smattering of available flavors while the glass case full of tiny chocolates gleamed like dark jewels. When dining in, the hot chocolate is served in pretty ceramic cups though it wasn't steaming hot the way I usually like my HOT chocolate. Apparently I've been drinking it all wrong as there's a specific temperature that lets the flavors bloom on the palate. Packages of the chocolate blends also are available though quite pricey. I was lucky to be gifted a bag last year, and now understand all the hype! Check em out!
