Husband and I stopped here on our roadtrip to Denver. Super cute coffee shop that looks like it was built into an old bar. Staff wasn't very friendly which is why I gave it 3 stars. I would have liked to ask questions about what they recommend or pastries but they didn't seem interested in helping outside of taking our order. I had an americano and husband had a latte. Pretty basic but tasted good. I don't think we'll stop on our next trip through as it wasn't anything special.

We stopped here on our way from Texas to Colorado for a quick bite to eat. We ordered the Italian, the Cuban and the French Dip paninis (all on sourdough)...all were 10/10!! The staff were super friendly and the food came out in an expected amount of time. We will be back read more

Not impressive. I wanted to support but it was worse than expected. This "panini" is more like a middle school lunch. I also witnessed the regulars waiting a very long time at the counter to get the staff's attention for coffee refills. It is what it is but I think 4 to 5 stars is exorbitant. positives were that the coffee was probably good, the kitchen staff seemed nice and attentive, the place was clean, they exist at all, however, I would suggest encouraging the front of house staff to pay attention to who is there in case they need help. Also, it'd be nice to have some vegetables or something a bit more interesting on the sandwich. I'll have to go back to eating at Alfonsos. read more

I unfortunately didn't snap any pictures, but everything was fresh and delicious! We had a chicken avocado wrap and a cranberry turkey wrap. The pasta salad was so good. A couple in our group had their gigantic Cinammon rolls. We had the Italian, French dip, Cuban, and PB&J. The sour dough bread was great. And we ordered a couple of espresso shots and a Brown Sugar Oat milk Matcha Latte. Everything was good and service was friendly and quick. If you're passing through - definitely worth the stop. read more

What a find! We were looking for a local place while headed south on I-25. Decided on this place because of the menu and ratings. Fantastic! I had the Italian panini and others had the turkey wrap and salad. Everyone was happy as we rolled down I-25. The place is unique and clean. Funny signs in the bathroom and the staff are all very pleasant and nice. Iced coffee was reported as "super-duper". Definitely will go back! read more

This delightful coffee shop in Downtown Raton New Mexico is a must-stop place to see! The coffee selection is vast from the simple black coffee to something with all the fixings, creamers, sweeteners and flavors. In a simple to-go cup or blended into the dreamer's delight, there are SO many options! Then, there's the food. Oh my goodness! The menu is not the biggest in the world, but what they have is delicious! Okay, let's back it up. This shop used to be called Enchanted Grounds, but the owner had to change the name (some trademark ) issue. No big deal. We'll name it after the address! Before you enter the shop, you know you're in for something classic, with old signs and memorabilia in the window. Once inside, wow! the "coffee bar" is a hand carved old wooden bar from Raton's early days, but it's been restored to complete glossy luster. You're greeted right away by one of the many friendly, smiling faces behind the counter. You have to pause and just awe at all the coffee fixin's, syrups, and CHOICES to have. Again, YES, you can have just a regular cup of coffee. Moving to the register, it's important to note that sure, while these folks take cash, they also take your favorite debit/credit card and even Apple Pay/Google/Samsung, etc. So, state of the art, but also able to handle old school. Best of both worlds! Order at the register and while you're patiently waiting, you can marvel at all the old photographs and memorabilia from Raton "back in the day." Did I mention the food? Wow! Everything is made fresh, no pre-packaging. This means you'll have to wait a few minutes for it. No fast food here! (unless you want one of tasty pastries ). My wife have been here numerous times, trying out different sandwiches, paninis, and breakfasts. Never-ever have we been disappointed. Prices are reasonable, too. You can take your food to-go, but you can also sit down in the restaurant. There's probably room for over thirty people, as it's pretty big-sized. The wonderful servers will bring the food out to you. They're happy to chit-chat.. so friendly! Or leave you be if you like the quiet. I simply cannot gush ENOUGH about this wonderful spot. They're only open for breakfast and lunch. They don't have a drive-thru. However, there's plenty of parking, quick in and out (if that's what you need). Great coffee, terrific food, and amazingly wonderful small-town service. I can't wait to go again! read more

Great fresh coffee. Really Nice girls working there. I'm old, I can call it like I see it without verifying pronouns! I had a cinnamon roll and my wife had a breakfast burrito. Cinnamon roll was really good, my wife loved the burrito but I wasn't a fan of the green chili... but this is New Mexico so what was I thinking? Could be "Downtown Anywhere" until you realize this is a Small town magic in the heart of this awesome little village. Food was absolutely a value and you would be blessed if you stumbled upon 111 Park as you made a journey between Albuquerque and Denver. We were blessed enough to be sent there by a family member! read more

We travel coast to coast and always try the local coffee spots. This is one to mark on the map. Excellent coffee, good chai. Home baked goods and breakfast burritos. Not everything was ready when we arrived just before 7, the cinnamon roll and burrito were very good. We will be sure to stop again. Our only criticism is that is hard to tell they are open from the outside. read more

This place is great, by any coffee shop's standards, and we'll be stopping here any time we happen to drive through Raton. Like crate and barrel designed a Spanish Cafe in cowboy country. Great pastries, and even better coffee. The subtle twists to their flavored coffees forced me to buy two smalls for myself just so I could satisfy my curiosity, but I honestly couldn't tell you which one I'll order next time, they're both so good. Not too sweet, not trying to disguise bad coffee. This is quality I wish I could take with me back home. read more

On our way from CO Springs to Amarillo we stopped by this cafe. Anyone who's been on this journey know that services in general is lacking. If you're lucky there might be a few fast food restaurants and a gas stop in town. During COVID it was even more difficult to find decent rest stops. We were so happy to have found this local spot in a laid-back town. The coffees were great. (They serve food too I saw people getting takeout boxes). Friendly staff.

It seems like he may have seen my original review (the 4-star one) and wasn't thrilled about it. Still, to his credit, the service has definitely improved, and the food remains phenomenal. On my return visits, I've tried the Western Omelette (pro tip: ask for it with their jalapeño cream cheese for a delicious kick!) and, for the first time ever, chicken and waffles. Both were fantastic -- and honestly, I'll probably never order chicken and waffles anywhere else again. Still, I always find myself coming back for the huevos rancheros. Funny story: I asked the owner/waiter about their huevos rancheros recipe. He told me it's been in the family for 45 years. The ingredients are surprisingly simple -- nothing fancy, not even cumin -- so either he's guarding a well-kept family secret, or his father, the cook, has simply perfected the art of turning ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary. As far as ambience, this place is just an ordinary, mountain diner. I love their floor though, and I would like to replicate it in the next cabin I build.

Sierra Grande is the perfect definition of a hole in the wall. From the outside it's modest and…read morehumble -- part restaurant, part gas station, part gift shop -- but inside it's pure soul food. You can literally fuel up your stomach, your tank, and grab a little gift for the road. The menu has a bit of everything: burgers, burritos, enchiladas, carne asada, even breakfast. True to New Mexico style, almost everything can be smothered in red or green chile (and you absolutely should not skip it). Hands down, one of the best green chiles I've ever had in my life was here. I came in for a quick bite while passing through, hoping for a smothered burger (sadly they weren't making one that morning), but I went with Dino's Breakfast instead -- bacon and extra green chile on top. Total flavor bomb. Soul-pleasing doesn't even begin to describe it. When I walked in, the place was quiet. By the time I left, it was filling up with guests, and it's easy to see why. Sierra Grande is not to be underestimated, and it's now officially on my "must visit" list every time I come through.

Almack's was one of the highlights of our road trip between Texas and Denver. We stopped there on…read morethe way up and again on the way home, and both experiences were excellent. The food was fantastic, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere has a really cool, welcoming vibe. On our first visit, we ate inside and it was the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy a great meal before getting back on the road. On our return trip, we ordered online for pickup, and the process was incredibly easy and convenient. The food was ready when promised and was just as good as our first visit. My daughter isn't usually a big burger fan, but she absolutely loved their smash burger. I tried two different egg sandwiches on our visits, and both were outstanding. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Almack's has officially become a regular stop for our family whenever we're traveling through Colorado. If you're passing through Trinidad, do yourself a favor and stop in--you won't regret it!

Meh! The place is a lot going on but not in good way…read more The food is expensive, the food is just okay and the portions are small. The restrooms are dirty and they also have thrift store with crazy expensive old clothes that you can easily find at goodwill for a fraction of what they are selling them for.

This is the cutest place we found in Raton. The staff is amazing and they are so sweet. The food and fresh cold brew was so delicious. I'm not one for coffee but after trying my husbands I had to have one. The fresh blackberry tea was so refreshing. I can't say enough great things about this place. They were so welcoming and even let us hang out while we waited on our car. They always made sure we were doing well and if we needed anything at all! My husband and I highly recommend this place for great food and coffee! If we are ever back in the area we wouldn't miss our chance to stop in! Thank you Enchanted Grounds for being so sweet to us! read more

We found them on Yelp stopped in while on a road trip. It was easy to find from the highway. The coffee was awesome (just what I needed) and the staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy with great music playing in the background. We will stop back in on our way home! read more

Their menu serves people looking to wake up at 6 am for work and need fuel, and tourists coming in at noon on a train looking for a place to rest and enjoy. The staff and owner are caring, empathetic, efficient, and always ready to joke around with anyone. read more

Delicious food, great coffee, and really friendly staff. This would be a great coffee shop anywhere, but to find it way out in Raton is something extra special. Definitely worth a visit if stopping through town. read more
