Chilaquiles with pulled pork, Benedict with fried chicken and smoked hollandaise, and simple breakfast with mushrooms
Laura W.

This adorable restaurant was the final meal of our recent girls trip, right on the corner of palace and canyon road. The food was delicious and the staff super attentive! We had a mishap when the server spilled coffee on 2 of our party, but it was a complete accident and they went above and beyond to remedy the situation. Even though it's a teahouse, the coffees were amazing. The chilaquiles were amazing and a big hearty portion and they have a hollandaise for the Benedicts that is like a smoked flavor- delightful!

Allegra Jasmine Burst tea, still steeping
Rachel M.

My last two visits, the service has been bad. The servers aren't able to offer recommendations or discuss the menu confidently. Maybe they can't afford to taste the food they serve? Brought two friends for cocktails. Not nearly enough bread is served with the $18 burrata appetizer, so we requested more and were unreasonably charged $5 for these 3 pieces. Ridiculous. Still a fan of the food, but if they're going to keep charging this much, the plate ratios need to be checked, and the staff need to be trained. Reservations in advance recommended.

Under cooked, soggy scone.:(
Donna S.

So disappointed in my first visit since third place changed hands. No art at all on the blank walls... and very "echo-y". Service was OK. Except the person who took my call before we came...I asked about a wait &she said "at the moment" there was no wait. I didn't think to ask about reservations because they had NEVER taken them in the past.... when we got there it was getting packed &several empty tables had "Reserved" signs on them. I took 3 friends. We didn't even eat the "fried chicken" on our (smaller than "normal") because it was SO over-fried it was hard and there was minimal chicken in all the breading. (They did take this of our bill.) The main reason we is because we loved the scones last time we were here -- these were so undercooked they were soggy. The only good part were the teas and the fried potato slices one of us got. I'll be back only for tea & the live music. Very sad. The end of an icon for me.

What an absolutely lovely spot. We were welcomed in upon arrival and seated underneath a shady umbrella. We found the menu to be diverse with plenty of options for those who may be gluten- free. Service was efficient and friendly. I ordered a latte special, which was delicious. My friend enjoyed some tea. We both loved our meals. I tried the balsamic mushrooms, which i expected to have more balsamic taste, but they were really good. We really liked the poached pears with honey, walnuts, and truffle cheese as an appetizer. We'll definitely be back. It was hard not to come back over the weekend again, but we had too many places we wanted to try.

The Santa Fe Teahouse- very upscale scene among the Art District of Santa Fe... The food is delicious and consciously made fresh. Wide variety of selections and a great outdoor patio. Protected an quiet. Ample parking. Great breakfast and lunch stop...

Red chile and tomato mussels
Angie K.

We came here for restaurant week since we'd never been before and they had a lunch menu. It's a very cute place with some outdoor seating. We sat indoors which turned out to be a lot more spacious than I expected. The service was great and our server gave is plenty of time to review the menu and answered all our questions. The food was delicious and I can't believe I've never been here before. I had the roasted carrot and beet salad and it was quite large and could have been a meal in and of itself. My main was the red chile and tomato mussels. Imagine a hearty tomato soup with red chile, this is a pretty close description. There were large chunks of tomatoes in it and plenty of good red chile flavor to make it delicious. Rounding out the three course serving was the key lime pie which was a wonderful way to round out the meal. For my beverage I tried the Sante Fe Fog (variant on the London Fog) and the menu described that tea perfectly. All in all this was a great experience. One caveat is that we had a reservation, but there was a lot of confusion around the host stand - people seem to just show up and stand in line and no one checks you in or anything so I pretty much had to walk to the front of the line and wait around a while until someone showed up to grab the next group in line to check myself in. This could be a bit better organized.

Avocado Toast
Mia L.

Super relaxing spot to spend a morning. We sat outside which gave chill backyard patio vibes. The avocado toast was solid. I ordered the Bombay chai as my drink which I also thought was solid. I got the lavender London fog to-go, and that was really really refreshing & delicious. I wish I got two lol. Service was good, but our server seemed to keep pestering to order when we weren't yet ready. The hostesses at the front were really friendly. Overall, super sweet spot in a great location if you're looking to browse down Canyon Road. Recommend!

Outdoor seating...
Kelly U.

Outdoor dining in February, how can you beat that?! This is a tea shop and bistro with an extensive menu for food and tea. We. Passed the optional set menu for our own choices. A little short on help, but it was a beautiful day during the off season. Definitely worth a try...

Lavender latte
Karene C.

When in town, I enjoy coming here. They have a great dog friendly patio. Service is quick. For this last visit, I had the lavender latte. It had a smooth taste but not much lavender. The vegetable omelette with the side salad was the best. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The breakfast burrito was good but not the stand out like the omelette.

Jazz brunch in the courtyard at the Santa Fe Teahouse

We had a wonderful time today at the Teahouse. It was so delightful to sit outside in the warm winter sunshine enjoying our mushroom soup and sandwich while listening to live jazz. Our server was super attentive and our food and drinks were delivered quickly. I thought the cozy blanket on the back of my chair was a thoughtful touch for the winter too. The Santa Fe Teahouse is a true Canyon Road gem.

Mushroom Eggs Benedict...TDF!
Kristy S.

OMG - another TDF local spot in Santa Fe! Excellent, efficient service and very helpful. A tea menu that reminds me of a Cheesecake Factory menu (a place I throughly LOATHE!). My friend had the scone of the day that came with coddled cream and some lemon curd, along with a fancy hot tea. She loved it! I had the mushroom Benedict - holy cow, delish! Probably the MOST PERFECT BENEDICT I HAVE EVER EATEN. Comes with a lovely house salad as the side. I recommend the spicy hollandaise sauce - don't worry...it isn't super spicy. Also had one of the fruity iced teas...refreshing! HUGE OUTDOOR seating area. Support this local gem and be sure to generously TIP YOUR SERVER! Oh, and, hit the last art gallery across the street and check out the ENORMOUS HORSE HEAD "statue".

A Delicious Tea!

How is the parking? I want to take my 85 year old Mom, but she uses a walker.

There's parking right outside the door that should be relatively accessible, although with only about six spaces, it fills quickly. there's also a city lot about 100 yards away that has handicap parking... but it's on the opposite side of that lot.…

The café has a cool, modern vibe with plenty of indoor seating as well as a nice outdoor patio. They were very busy on a Saturday morning. The counter staff was very matter-of-fact. Not rude, but not especially warm or welcoming either. Honestly, I got the impression she was just under a lot of stress. We also asked another staff member if we could use one of the patio umbrellas (they were all closed for some reason), and he was prompt and friendly, which we appreciated. We ordered a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, a meat-filled empanada, a honey latte, and a cold brew. The cold brew was a little too dark for my taste, though coffee preferences are definitely subjective. Interestingly, there's a place in Albuquerque that has an almost identical flavor profile. The toasted everything bagel was very good, but it didn't come with quite enough cream cheese. The single cream cheese packet also felt a bit lackluster presentation-wise. That said, when we asked for more, the response was friendly and accommodating. The honey latte had beautiful latte art and great flavor, definitely a highlight. The empanada, filled with ground beef, green chile, and piñon, was a bit over-toasted, but the filling itself was flavorful, even if somewhat sparse. Overall, I think 35 North has a lot going for it and could easily elevate the experience with a few small improvements to consistency and customer service.

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.

We tried a couple of different coffeeshops around Santa Fe, and this one was our favorite by far. I got the Murmuration of Starlings and it tasted just like the name! 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.

I also care about the vibe of a place, so the breakdown is 5-star coffee drinks, but ho-hum 3-star service, hence the 4-star review instead of the 5 I would've loved to have reported here. The place is a few blocks from where we stayed and was easy to walk to and find, knowing I'd be looking for a sign with a few animals on it and it may not be obvious to some that this business is a coffee shop. I ordered the Crash of Rhinos, which fits their clever theme. The drink was just sweet enough and unique and flavorful. However, when we walked in, there was no barista or anyone at the front to greet us; we didn't mind waiting a minute or two for someone to show up since it was clearly open and there were a couple customers inside (and duh, we were on vacation and not in a hurry). When the nose-ringed hipster-looking girl came around the corner I was disappointed that we were not greeted with a smile or a good morning, or "sorry to keep you waiting" kind of phrase. She took our order, made our drinks, and did not say thank you (I did, and tipped her $2. Why, I'm not sure). That was that. Hubs ordered the spicy mocha drink and it was a bit much; he decided it would be better iced or he'd try a different selection next time. Yes, there was a next time. Different barista, same kind of treatment. Still tipped just because I was a barista for many years and know this really helps supplement a worker's salary and encourage good communication with customers. This time I ordered the Murmuration of Starlings latte, which has rosemary, thyme, and cardamom notes. It was delicious but similar to the Crash of Rhinos drink. The third time we visited we entered through the Chocolate and Cashmere shop next door. I found it funny that the nose ring barista girl happened to be in that shop talking to the girl who worked there, but when we walked in, she quickly exited back to the coffee shop to sit with the other barista at a table in the coffee shop. The chocolate shop girl was so sweet and we even visited their location in the Plaza a day later and she was just as nice, even though that day we did not make a purchase. Overall I do recommend Crash Murder Business for their coffee drinks, but don't expect friendly service. (If you're looking for that, go to Iconik up the street!) Just because you work at a coffee shop and you have a cool haircut does not make you above others. Especially when small businesses work to please their customers and should encourage their return. Kind of a shame...but I would still go back for the coffee if I were ever in town again.

However, the coffee was excellent, so that didn't bother me at all. The croissants were soft, warm, and very tasty, a perfect match for the coffee. The café also features artwork hanging on the walls, (looks like they like cats very much ) and a small section of magazines and newspapers near the entrance, which I really enjoyed. The location is excellent, right next to a independent bookstore, making it a great stop before or after browsing books.
