Santa Fe Opera

“The lunch service is faster than dinner. The back patio (summer) is the best seating. Order 'Christmas' for both red and green chile. The sopapilla at the end with honey is the ritual close of every meal here.”

“Arrive by 8 AM to avoid the queue. The communal table is the best option for solo performers — genuine conversations happen here. The coffee is excellent.”

“The Baca Street arts district context gives the cafe a creative energy. The pour-over program is serious and the baristas are knowledgeable. Large tables and good WiFi make it workable for score study.”
