Crema's Take

Tucked away from Santa Fe's main tourist drag, this spot feels like a beloved neighborhood secret that somehow keeps the line moving even when it's packed. Beyond excellent coffee, they're known for generous portions of satisfying comfort food—think massive cinnamon rolls, flavorful sandwiches, and spicy soups that warm you up on chilly desert afternoons, plus plenty of vegetarian options. The casual, cozy atmosphere makes it the kind of place visitors wish they could return to again and again, and locals are happy to claim as their regular hangout.

It was freezing out so a bowl of spicy soup was warm and comforting. The place is nice, comfy, and the menu has a large variety that can hit any craving you could have. The cinnamon rolls are as big as my face.

If I lived in Santa Fe I'd hang out here. Went twice on a weekend trip. So good the first time, had to try other things. Fun place. Good food. Good coffee.

Stopped here for lunch and ordered a couple of sandwiches. Both the egg salad and meatball sandwiches were flavorful. The fries were really good, too. Atmosphere is casual and there’s a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. The parking is somewhat challenging but overall this was a nice place for lunch. Not too expensive and good portion sizes. They also have gluten-free bread that doesn’t fall apart.

Despite the decently sized line when I arrived, I was taken care of surprisingly quick. My food arrived quite fast for how busy they seemed. Potions were much larger than I expected, and the food was delicious and exactly what I needed. This will be a regular spot now for sure.

Delicious little counter service spot tucked beyond the popular streets. The small parking lot was packed, which was a good sign to us. I picked this place because of vegetarian options. They have a small menu but we didn’t have trouble choosing what to eat. I had the Asian platter with spring rolls and noodles-delicious! My partner had a bowl of salmon curry soup which was also super yummy! Inside the restaurant was rather warm so we opted for the front patio. What a cute place with a great vibe. They also offered baked goods, wine and beer and coffee. It seemed like there was plenty of seating to choose from too. This would be great for a family lunch hang out. We went in a Saturday afternoon in winter and it was busy but not overly crowded. (We found parking across the street pretty easily). They accept cards but add a 3.7% fee. We spent around $25 dollars for an entree and a bowl of soup. We were very satisfied with the quality, price and overall experience.
