I love the breakfast quesadilla with their homemade salsa. Lovely little spot, and everyone who works there is nice.

The perfect cafe with nice food and bakery options! This is my second or third time I’m stopping here when I come to Jemez Springs! If you’re looking for a breakfast or brunch spot perfect for you!

Great Samosa and burritos, Jemez must stop for coffee. Pastries are world class, especially Pinon Tart.

I was a better person after this breakfast. My partner and I had a hard night camping in the rain and we’re very hangry. Our moods changed so much after our burritos!

Delicious green chile. Huevos rancheros and breakfast samosa were amazing. They also have elk meat which is a nice option. Good coffee too.

Surprise! Here. We had some of the best food of our 6-day trip to Santa Fe. Coffee was good, try the baked oatmeal with yogurt and fresh blueberries, and the mushroom cheese quesadilla with a marvelous dipping sauce was even special. Good key lime pie but you could try a pinion nut tart. The perfect place! And yes, a welcome surprise!

I come to Jemez Springs to hike. I often pass this location while I'm headed back to Albuquerque. This time, however, I decided to check it out. I initially wanted to just try a dessert. A prior customer ordered a cinnamon roll, which looked very good. I ordered that item. I looked at the menu on the wall and noticed some good items. Initially, I was going to go back into Albuquerque to eat. I asked the waitress about the food and recommended a few items. I decided to try the Angus burger with sweet potato fries. The couple before me ordered a smothered burrito. The couples' order came out first, and it looked very good. The man took a few bites and looked at me and gave me a thumbs up. It was their first time as well. Shortly after, my burger came out. This was arguably the best burger I've had, period. I'm writing this review the day after I ate at this location because I'm still thinking about how good that burger was. Now it could be because I was hungry after a three-hour hike, but truthfully I think not. I'm definitely going back to this location and try some other menu items...but I may go back to that burger.
