Crema's Take
“Old Town Cafe trades on its prime location on the Old Town Plaza square and a relaxed vibe, but the 3.9 rating reflects real inconsistency: food quality swings wildly (some rave about sandwiches and posole, others got visibly disappointing frito pies), and slow service is a recurring complaint even for simple orders. It's a decent casual spot if you're already in the plaza and don't mind gambling on execution, but don't expect reliability.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

See all on Google →Soooo….. I’ll start by saying The food was really tasty. I had the grilled cheese. Really good! My wife had quesadilla. She was very happy with it. The only problem was we waited 45 minutes before they even took our order and another 20-25 minutes to receive our food. It took…
The cafe is located right on the square in Old Town, and has a nice relaxed atmosphere. Our Billy the Kid, posole, and pickle sandwich were very good. Will definitely eat there again.
My boyfriend and I had a Sunday date in old town and decided to try the Old Town Cafe for lunch. We both got the frito pie and were so very disappointed. It looked like they just threw a handful in the box and called it a day. It was very greasy as well. It was not worth it for…
We were visiting Old Town Plaza and came in for a smoothie to cool us from the Summer heat. The smoothie was very refreshing. They also offer sandwiches and other hot foods, although we didn't order any. Very nice people.
Old Town Cafe has to be one of the gems in Old Town that many need to discover. They have some awesome sandwiches and food. My wife has been telling me about it for a while and we finally went. It was every bit good that she said it was and more. Highly recommended place to eat…
