Our kids ordered Açaí bowls while I just had a cappuccino. We made our way to the back courtyard, which was wide open and great for two young kids to run about without bothering anyone. The interior is inviting. While I didn't take pictures of the food, it was simply because we dug right in. The presentation of the food was exquisite and the kids barely looked up from their bowls; that's a good sign! We made sure to buy some coffee beans on the way out, which we are now enjoying at home.

I ordered a Bloody Mary and it was pretty good. Not over dressed, this Mary had a stalk of celery and a olive and lime for garnish. The real treat was the beverage. It was full bodies and spicy. Liz enjoyed her Blue Hawaiian. The kids were content with their 1L bottles of soda. The avocado toast, Liz ordered was full of avocado. They used red pepper flakes to give it a little kick. It was very good. The toast had a hint of garlic to it, maybe. The acai bowl that I had came with four toppings I went with all the fruit toppings. Strawberry, blueberry, banana, and coconut, but honey, and or something else was also available. I didn't want very much to eat, so I was happy that they had smaller dishes. The kids were fine with a pizza, and they had 10" pizzas. Noah actually finished the crusts, which he typically leaves. There was a a guitarist that played wonderful renditions of old rock classics or newer jams. It definitely set the mood - calm and relaxing. Our servers were very attentive and kept us in the loop as the pizza and toast came out slowly. They also had pastries and cookies I recommend this little place one block off the Mesilla main plaza

Very friendly folks…read more The iced latte was perfect, with a good consistency and a bit of espresso bite. We had the cinnamon rolls, and they were yummy. The dough was textured, but not thick at all, nice and light. Just enough icing to cover the top, but not thick, shocking one's teeth with that "too sweet" feel. A generous spread of flavorful powdered cinnamon topped it off. I consider this roll a thoroughly enjoyable treat. The cafe has a great coffee house ambiance. Good music playing softly. Books to read. Comfy couch. A big board where locals can post their wares and businesses, so it has a good community feel. There's kid art for us to enjoy, and a place for kids to play.

I wanted to like this place... No wait, I wanted to LOVE IT... But after the HORRIBLE encounter…read morethat I had with Alex (the owner) I had to let others know that while the place is cute, she is only in business because she is the only yoga instructor/class from Laz Cruces to Roswell... So she can do as she pleases. And in case you are wondering, this is coming from someone having done over 1000 classes, is currently on a "1000 Day Yoga & Meditation Challenge", and is currently in yoga teacher training. So I am not just being pissy, but it was really that bad... First off, she seemed nice. She let me charge my phone battery (I am on a road trip across CA/AZ/NM) and was grateful. She guided us into the room and delayed the class a bit because this other person was taking forever in the bathroom and there were 2 of us waiting. Most of the class seemed OK with it and I was feeling the good energy. I was the only person under 35 in the class, but I love adding yin to my yang practice. I was taking photos and she commented that she had wished that I had asked. I felt bad and respected that. I usually do but had a brain fart in this case. I apologized. This was the GENTLE CLASS. She wanted us to go into a "restorative goddess pose" with props. This is my absolute favourite pose so I went about setting myself up thinking that this was an awesome way to start class after all of the activities that I did today in Alamogordo. She then asked me "why I wasn't doing it her way" and I replied that "I like doing it this way". She got mad and basically asked me why I even bothered to show up and went about how her teacher wouldn't stand for it. I was shocked and went about "doing it her way" and when I thought I knew she mocked me by telling me to "show her". I didn't realize that being berated and humiliated publicly was a part of this class, or maybe it was my hazing ritual to get into her good side. Who knows. Of course I challenged her because she had no right to ask me "why I even bothered to show up if I was going to do my own thing". I WAS DOING A MODIFICATION but she kept pressing ALWAYS HAVING TO HAVE THE LAST WORD. I left to wipe the tears but decided to go back and LET GO and give her a chance. I am not perfect, but I learned to forgive. The class was OK. The people in the class were friendly and a few felt bad and asked if I was OK. I tried to help as much as I can with putting away props and getting them and Alex was being civil, so I was grateful for that because there were many times that she could've led me to break my neck. But then again, I KNOW BETTER because I KNOW THE LIMITATIONS OF MY OWN BODY AND WHAT IS RIGHT FOR IT. When I made a joke about my legs being short, she agreed and even used anatomical terminology to seal the deal - as if it was her way to give me a blow without coming off as a horrible person. KUDOS TO HER. In the end, I went to give her her chant paper back and to tell her that she should never question WHY a student decides to show up to the mat and to be glad that they simply do. And she had the balls to reply "that she felt as if I weren't listening to her and was mocking her teaching!". I was so shocked because I cannot believe that this woman just gave me a vision of someone more obsessed with dictatorship than simply letting people feel good about themselves for showing up at the mat. She saw the look on my face and I commented and asked if "she was serious". Then she offered me my money back because "she didn't feel as if I took HER CLASS, anyway"... Always had to have the last word... I went to use the bathroom and when I walked by the counter I saw $16.10 laying there. She couldn't even have the decency to give it to me but no worries... Perhaps it was better that way. Her training is in Iyengar, which I have taken numerous classes in LA and have NEVER once been berated when having done my own modification... Because I KNOW that they best teacher is the one within and good teachers don't teach to satisfly their ego. Well, Alex is certainly one that is all about asserting her authority as a teacher, rather than letting her students occasionally make decisions for herself, her ego and need to "BE THE BOSS" fuels why she probably went on to be a "yoga teacher". I recommend just getting a hotel room in the area and plugging in the laptop to find an online class. That way, YOU CAN DO YOU. Put that $16.10 towards your hotel/hostel/camping fee. Alex needs a lesson in "adhikara". STRAIGHT UP. And best part, she never once cued us to BREATHE. How's that for yoga?

But when we were driving through I noticed this little store front called Instant Karma. I wasn't really planning to, but when my husband went to walk the dog I made a beeline for this place (as a side note, my husband knew just where to find me when he was done - he knows me too well). So at first I just saw clothes in the front, and thought maybe it was an overpriced touristy place like the others in the strip of stores... but then I took a few more steps in, and behold.... it is an active, whole living type lifestyle store with A YOGA STUDIO IN THE BACK! Coolest little store EVER. I just had to spend my birthday money here. I invested in a SIGG water bottle that I have been wanting, a lip balm, and a sticker that says 'BREATHE'. And I supported a small business! Yay. The woman working (I think maybe the owner) was really sweet and helpful, and she had her dogs in the store with her - another plus. I love this place.
