Crema's Take

Tucked into Santa Fe's surprisingly limited late-night dining scene, this beloved spot becomes a vibrant gathering place when most restaurants have already closed their doors for the evening. The cozy, authentically charming atmosphere and genuinely warm staff create an immediate sense of belonging, whether you're stopping by for their homemade baked goods and specialty drinks like chai tea, or settling in for a full dinner that locals enthusiastically recommend over other options in town.

The week after Christmas every restaurant is packed and out of most of the menu. Called three different spots to try and get a table for two. Hostess saved us a spot and got us in right away. Staff functioned like a well oiled machine and got us menus, drinks, water quickly. Food came out fast and far exceed expectations. Anytime I pass through Sante Fe I will make a point to stop here and give this business my money. Flank steak was cooked perfectly and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cute, quaint, and authentic. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The homemade chai tea was good, but next time I will ask for more flavor added. It came out mostly milk. My dish had a couple of black hard pieces I assume were grissle that were dangerous for my teeth, especially when expecting everything to be soft, and there were also a couple of pokey things that I was not able to figure out what they were (looked like part of a vegetable), but overall everything was good. The flavors were delicious and everything appeared fresh. I would return.

My husband and I discovered this place when found out that pretty much EVERYTHING closes at 8 in Santa Fe (unless you are looking for coffee, and those places close at 5! What is UP with that?). Anyway, clearly this is where all the cool kids hang out! Busy place, but there was plenty of room and fantastic service! Found a parking spot easily. Great diner vibe, and when I tell you the menu was extensive, I am not even joking! I wish I had been hungrier, or I would have tried more. Husband got a Wagyu burger with fries (I snuck more than a few fries… yum!), and I got a side of mashed potatoes (also yum!) and some sliced avocado. But the main event for us was the pie. Holy cow! We had no business finishing our slices… but we (almost) did! If you are hungry, or just want a bite of dessert and coffee late at night, this is the spot!

We ended up here for dinner after trying a few others that were closed. Not much open late. But this place was hopping and so worth it! Should've been our first choice as the service, food and vibe were all fantastic! And the chocolate cake was delicious also. We were so full, but took dessert to go as the case of pies and cakes looked so tempting!

This is a super cute little place! Super friendly staff and delicious pies and cakes. Some of our food was absolutely delicious but others were lacking. The Greek salad with chicken was super fresh and delicious but for the added price it had very little chicken. The lamb burger was my favorite and had lots of flavor, was cooked perfectly and perfectly yummy. I got beans on the side and these beans are so special, the flavor is so different. The disappointing meal was the hamburger with fries. There was no flavor, it was overcooked and had no salt. The fries also had no salt. We got a piece of blueberry pie, a piece of chocolate pie and a piece of tree leches. All three were absolutely delicious.
