Was taken there by friends who really enjoyed it when it was "Josefina's " only. Four of us had the usual breakfast of omelette's, fried or scrambled eggs and potatoes with toast. Two fancy teas, and two regular coffees with a $5 tip.....$76 total and we were expected to bus our own table, my regular coffee came with one free refill of which I needed to leave the table and go to the counter to get my refill. Food and presentation were noticeably less than I get at home, service...nobody came by to ask.....when I asked for some sort of hot sauce I was directed to packets of Cholula...come on folks this is NM not TX or AZ. read more

Such a cute place with a good menu. So many options I had a hard time picking what I wanted (which is a good thing). I ended up ordering a the super bowl and the almond joy latte. The super bowl was good even with me taking out the cheese (made it a dairy free option). The almond joy latte was good as well, but not sure it fit my idea of an almond joy flavor. Service was quick being they were busy. One of the servers read my mind about needing a Togo cup for my latte and gave me the cup before I even reached the front to ask for it. Definitely coming back when in the area. read more

Have not heard of this place until yesterday and I can say this place is amazing. Food was great, staff were very helpful very polite and friendly. I ordered the turkey wrap. The only complaint I have is the filling was very small compared to the giant size tortilla they use. If you want your customers happy fill'er up Josefina!!! My husband ordered an omelette. It look great, but the potatoes were overcooked and dry. My cousin ordered the Devil Desert now that looked delicious! All in all breakfast was pretty good. I could not resist taking home a blueberry muffin and a tart!! Very delicious! I would recommend going there. Very small inside, but there are tables outside to sit in the cold during the winter if you like. Otherwise you will have to wait for a table. read more

The service was amazing. The turkey pesto sandwich was very delicious. The chicken salad sandwich was a bit dry and chicken was tough. But it was fresh. The green chili pozole was very spicy. I liked having a choice of sweet and unsweetened Jamaica. My little dog loved hanging out in the patio. It was so enjoyable to sit outside on a beautiful day The chocolate croissants were so chocolately and delicious. I loved that place. Definitely going back! read more

This place is a hidden gem! The food was delicious, and our drinks were so good! Not too strong, but not too sweet. Their service is excellent; the staff are friendly and patient when answering questions :) The atmosphere is cozy and peaceful, and it felt so nice sitting outside in this lovely spring weather. I will definitely be going back! read more

Just checked out this cute little coffee shop for the first time! Love the cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and the drink menu is simple but has flavors for people with different tastes. I had the Wild Flower latte, husband tried the Autumn latte and we were both very pleased with the taste. Highly recommend trying it out if you're ever exploring Old Mesilla read more

I have a different experience with the Bean in a different location (much less positive than at this location), so I will try and keep this review strictly to this location - personal disclaimer It is a quaint little spot which smells absolutely lovely when you walk in. The indoor seating is a good size, but there is way more outdoor seating - great in the mild Las Cruces weather. The people were very nice and helpful since I had a bit of a time deciding on what to eat. I personally do not like how much potatoes are in breakfast burritos generally, but they were understanding and put only a tiny amount for me which was perfect. I also selected the green chili to go with it as well as a Matcha Latte. One of the friends I was with ordered a muffin which we all shared. My burrito was absolutely delicious and I practically inhaled it with my green chili. I did not like my Matcha Latte because they added sweetener to it which was kind of over-powering. To me, the muffin was kind of terrible. It was really hard and tasteless. I think the sweetener they put in the matcha should have gone into the muffin. The burrito and the ambiance of the outdoor seating though, I definitely recommend. read more

Beautiful day on the patio with excellent breakfast burrito. Terrific live music as well.

You can't do better. Very good cafe latte. Exceptional chicken salad (served in a halved avocado). Nice and hard-working peeps. Lovely location. Decent bathroom. read more

Just when I thought this place could not get any better they go ahead and pick one of the best locations in the area. Their menu is one of my favorites because they have the vegetarian options I look for plus they accommodate some dishes to not include meat. It's not like before where you would sit down and then order. Now you have to order and then sit down. Just a quick tip until we are all familiar with the new system. The parking is not the best but nobody cares when walking in Mesilla is a great experience by itself. The employees are always helpful and kind. The menu is simple which is a huge plus. Provecho! read more

The Bean at Josefinas - Veggie burrito - Cafes Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Tucked away in one of the side streets of Mesilla a part of Las Cruces, New Mexico is this wonderful little pocket of liberalism and healthy cooking. The restaurant itself is wonderful with a book rack to borrow or donate books, a menu that is very earth friendly, a staff that is helpful and enthusiastic about the food they serve and a variety of flavors and drinks to choose from. I had several options I wanted to try and ended up picking the breakfast burrito and the lavender and honey latte. The burrito itself was a little smaller than I would have liked and with the bacon and other ingredients in it, it did taste a little too salty. The potatoes could have used more time on the grill as they were slightly undercooked. The burrito, while very good could have used more variety in flavors and textures and it didn't come with any side items like fruit, plantains or a small salad. Honestly, I would recommend this so that you have something to clear the pallet between bites. Maybe some pineapple or melon. Not a lot, just enough to take a dozen bites or so. The latte was made from an American ground coffee which left a slightly bitter after taste even with the lavender and the honey to help mask the bitterness. I would recommend switching to an espresso ground and possibly a Cuban or European coffee supplier since these coffee beans are less roasted and have a tendency of offering a richer less bitter base to work from. Don't get me wrong, the food here is good. It's just not as good as it could be. They has clearly been a lot of thought and effort to create this wonderful little spot in Mesilla, why not deliver the absolute best and become legendary! If I ever find myself in this area, I'll be certain to stop in again and try their salmon sandwich and their chicken salad sandwich which the cashier did recommend and assured me it's done if the best of their menu. Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing you in business for many years to come. read more

Beautiful patio, wonderful customer service, and tasty food and drinks. Great way to spend a brunch!

Delicious coffee drinks, in a cozy, welcoming setting. It was a great stop on a Sunday afternoon before the farmers' market.

Stopped in with friends for a takeout lunch while we were in town. It's a super cute location and I would have loved to stay and eat there if we weren't so tired from our conference. The food was yummy. The server was friendly. I definitely recommend it. read more

Sat outside on the lovely plaza and enjoyed every bite of the juevos with red chile and veggies bowl.

Beautiful place to sit on the patio and enjoy a coffee or tea and breakfast. We took the kids and they enjoyed the muffin and yogurt granola bowl. I had a breakfast burrito red chile. They serve a delicious tea latte. A peaceful place to enjoy a meal al fresco! We will definitely return! read more

Industrial strength window cleaner really does cover up the nice aroma of a coffee shop during breakfast. And it also makes for an awful experience for anybody in the room. The windows weren't even dirty; maybe she just wanted to clear the room? Please start treating your paying customers better by using stinky cleaning chems during off hours. Thanks in advance. read more

I have enjoyed the transition from Josephina's to The Bean as it makes this gorgeous, authentic adobe inn more accessible. I don't wait for service, I can sit and meditate while there, or go with a group. The menu is interesting, especially as a vegetarian. Coffee, teas, and food are very good. read more

Love that the Bean was able to open up in this beautiful location! Great patio with live music on the weekends. I've been coming here with my dog in the mornings and the staff is so friendly! They always get him a bowl of water too. Plus the food is great! Really enjoy their avocado toast, the sourdough is delicious. This is definitely a great morning hangout! read more

Let's start by saying that I love breakfast. This was my first time here and not too sure what to order, so I asked for their breakfast burrito. The girl at the counter asked me," red or green?" Apparently that is a thing in Las Cruces! I told her to choose for me. I got the red. This was quite possibly the BEST breakfast burrito I have ever had. The same goes for the blueberry muffin I so enjoyed read more

Adorable place, lovely staff and yummy brunch! Try the chai latte! We love the covered patio and so glad Josephina's remains!

Considering that Josephina's can't figure out their business model from hosting the public to hosting nothing but corporate parties to turning into a coffee shop with a pared down menu, it's hard to distinguish what exactly they're up to. I went for brunch this morning and it was good. It doesn't seem quite as hoity toity as the old Josephinas. The atmosphere was relaxed and the coffee was good. I ate a blueberry muffin with coffee and then had a breakfast burrito. The muffin was wonderful. The burrito was what you typically find in town for breakfast burritos. It tasted good but was atypical. The salsa that came with it was good. A person can either order it red or green. I got red. It was fine. Personally, I'm not a fan of flour tortillas but that's what everyone makes burritos using. Parking, well it's Mesilla and a weekend. Your call. The servers bring drinks and food to the table. However, if you want cream and sugar for coffee you have to get it yourself out in the lobby. Overall I enjoyed the brunch and it was relaxing and I came away satisfied. It is close to the plaza across the street from the Basilica. read more
