I'm not sure how you do it Roswell, but you never cease to surprise me! It seems every time we come…read morethrough Roswell we find something else a little out of this world. Alien puns aside, we were really impressed at not only the selection but the quality of the baked goods at this little bake shop on th he south side of Roswell. From pan dolce to empanadas, they had everything wr would expect from the best panaderias up in 'Burque or down in El Paso, only Roswell Bakery had an even better price and a surprise we didn't expect. The accompanying pic is of the illusive savory pastry. Here in Roswell, it was a jalapeno and cheese bolillo. Spicy, cheesy, and with a cloud-like crumb, these were heaven straight out of the oven. Even better, they were open early on Sunday morning as we swung through the barely stirring town on our way home. Thank you, Roswell Bakery for giving us one more great excuse to detour through Roswell on our next road trip!

Support local when you can. I love going to local coffee shops and cafes when in smaller towns…read more Found this place as I was driving down Main Street. Pulled over to get a coffee before long shift. Super cute and clean. Young girl at counter was very friendly and nice when I took a little extra time trying to figure out what I wanted. On the large board behind the counter was the special drinks and food for the month of February. I decided to get a chocolate cherry iced latte with white chocolate instead of milk or dark. I also got the white chocolate strawberry scone. The scone came warmed , it was so good I should have gotten 2 of them. My iced drink was good, even with swapping out of white chocolate it was tasty but a bit on the sweet side. They also have milk alternatives, I got oatmilk. I like that they use paper cups to help with the over use of plastic cups and not a lot of places to recycle them.

Stellar Coffee was an absolute must-stop for us--and not just for the alien nostalgia (though…read moreRoswell fully leans into it, and I love that). The second you walk in, you know this is the coffee spot in town. The music, lighting, people, and overall energy made it clear why it was packed. Aliens everywhere, local art and curiosities lining the walls, and that effortlessly cool, eclectic vibe where you don't know where to look first--but in the best way. The food and drink held up just as well. Coffee and teas were solid, with a local tea vendor on site doing samples and selling loose-leaf blends, which was such a great touch. I had a vegan hummus salad that was genuinely good, plus some food bites, while my husband loved his burrito. I also stumbled upon handmade origami earrings (cranes and roses!) that I was obsessed with, along with books, swag, and random treasures--at one point I picked up a Japanese art book I would've bought instantly if it had been for sale. And just when you think you've seen it all, the space keeps going: a wine lounge in the back, a roasting operation, more rooms to explore. Huge credit to the staff--only a handful of employees holding down a nonstop crowd, all with great energy. If you're passing through New Mexico, even if Roswell is slightly out of the way, Stellar Coffee is absolutely worth the stop. The hidden wine lounge with speakeasy vibes is named Interstellar - SO CUTE !!

Today is February 28, 2025. I'm on a recreational trip from Albuquerque to Carlsbad along the way…read more I stopped into Sweet Baby J's. I admit that on a road trip, my sweet tooth seems to enlarge in size so to speak. Plenty of on street parking, great natural light, friendly and accommodating staff. The display case was filled with goodies, and I went with coconut cream pie. I think the flying saucers and aliens landed here to come eat this. Absolutely fantastic texture , flavor , and appearance. I I don't think I could justify driving down from Albuquerque on a regular basis, but I must say I thought about it.

This was a total impulse stop after a visit to the nearby UFO Museum. I walked in to see what the…read morebakery was like, and walked out with a bag full of cookies. The chocolate chip cookie was very good, but the oatmeal raisin was simply perfect. The staff is friendly and helpful. This small-batch bakery has a range of baked goods to appeal to almost any palate. There were no gluten-free items for sale, but they have a robust order-ahead business and can accommodate gluten-free requests for their cakes. Next time I'm back in town, I certainly will stop by!!

This Farmers Country Market is located in the same plaza as Ace Hardware, with plenty of parking…read more My husband and I decided to stop by this market this afternoon just because we were curious on the food items they sold and also figured we could pick up some vegetables and other food items while we are on our vacation. When we first entered the store (please note that there are cart wipes by the entrance, which is always nice), I was surprised to see a section at the entrance of different jars of salsa, a lot of which were made here in New Mexico. We also saw some boba milk tea and flavored coconut milk drinks with aloe (which are products of Thailand) and ended up purchasing a few. The drinks themselves are actually not too sweet and tasted pretty good. Pricing was ~ $1.29 per bottle, which wasn't bad of a price. The produce section (all the way to the right hand side if you are facing the back of the store) was small but had plenty of variety of both fruits and vegetables. We ended up purchasing cucumbers that were 2 for $1 since it was on sale. I liked the gourmet cheese section with the variety of cheeses available (which is right by the produce section). I also liked the wine and beer section, which was nice to see local beers and wines made here in New Mexico (which I ended up picking up a bottle of New Mexico made Moscato to celebrate my upcoming birthday). We ended up purchasing a few other items in the store, which pricing seemed to be fair for what they were. One thing that I do want to make mention is that we both thought it was kind of weird to see 2 (separate) people in the store shopping without wearing a mask. I know that an employee saw these people but did not bother to tell them (even though there is a sign by the entrance to inform customers that they are required to wear a mask before entering). But other than that, we had a good experience on this shopping trip and would definitely be a regular if we lived in this area.

They are just regular sugar cookies but obviously with a cool green alien face iced on. I have been to the UFO festival twice now, and only stopped in this one time.
