*** the Zia Latte was fire ***…read more My daughter and I stopped by Kith + Kin Roasting before a long afternoon with a doctor's appointment in Roswell back on April 8, 2026. This hip cafe is located in downtown Artesia, NM near the Veteran's Memorial. The service was nice enough and very efficient in getting orders out. Lots of seating and I liked the lighting inside... not too bright, not too dim. They sure know how to make a good latte here. The Zia Latte ($5.90 for a 16 oz) consisted of "cayenne + cinnamon + cloves + cardamom + ginger + nutmeg + honey." It's so heartwarming and delicious. One of my favorite lattes in all of New Mexico! My daughter opted for a hot cocoa ($3.60 for 12 oz) and a house-made blueberry jam muffin ($3.80). I did not try the cocoa but she said it was "so good" and they made it to her liking, kid's temperature. The muffin was fantastic. Order at the counter. Pay. Take a number. They'll bring your items out to you. Check them out along with their hours before you stop by: https://www.kithandkinroastingco.com/

Came out quickly and boy could I taste the spices in that chai! The pepper kicked me in the face for sure. Not bad just unexpected and strong. When I come back I will try something else it was just too overpowering for me. I might have asked for a remake of something else but what to get back on the road. They had a great selection of muffins, scones and breads. Ice cream too! Wish I had time to hang out.

Visiting family in Artesia, NM and had dinner at The Wellhead Restaurant & Brewpub in Downtown…read moreArtesia. The restaurant is inside an old historic building with a lot of historic photos of the area and original business. We ordered the following: -Spicy mago chicken wings (5/5 stars) -Buffalo chicken wings with homemade sauce (4.5/5 stars) -T-bone steak special (3.8/5 stars). I ordered the steak medium rare and got it very rare. The steak was really tough and mashed potatoes weren't hot enough. I did enjoy the side of jalapeño with green peppers Mac and cheese that was excellent!! For dessert, I ordered the peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream and rate it (3.8/5 stars). The bottom of the pie was not cooked enough and was very doughy. The service was excellent with friendly staff (5/5 stars). If I ate here again, I would order the spicy mango wings with a side of French fries and beer from the pub. Happy Yelping :)

The sweet potato fries and mac and cheese were delicious; I'm going to be thinking of the mac and cheese until I visit again.

The service was a bit slow near the end of our meal but it wasn't terrible; our server was very sweet and was obviously busy.

They have a lot of choices for snacks, including ice cream, Hawaiian shaved ice and snow cones. I'm excited to go back to try the Korean shaved ice or the rolled ice cream. I went with another teacher friend and he offered us coupons for our kids. That is so nice of him. It is in the building next to elevate coffee. You can go in through the front or back way inside a small, but there's plenty of tables to sit in outside. I hope everyone in Carlsbad stops by and gives this place a try.

We were the only ones there without food. The other couple had already eaten. Just weird. We won't go back ever.

The burritos do run a little on the smaller side, but they're packed with flavor and definitely hit the spot. The salsa bar actually brings the heattttt spicy spicy, not just "I promise it's hot" spicy and the guac has legit flavor. Best part? You finish your meal and casually wander next door because it's connected to an ice cream and fruiteria situation. Dinner + dessert without even leaving the building. Say less.

The taco was crispy and filled with delicious meat, and the consommé was rich and flavorful. If I hadn't been on the road, I probably would have ordered another one. The portion was generous, and the price was fair too. The service was quick, and the overall dining environment was bright and clean. Definitely a great local recommendation and a spot I'd happily come back to.
