While reasonably efficient at his job, our server certainly was not welcoming or friendly. The place has nice, upscale decor and was quiet even though fairly busy. Portion sizes range from smallish to average. The food we got was good across the board. It included a sesame bagel with cream cheese, an eggs benedict, and a monte cristo sandwich. read more

Great option for breakfast or lunch! The food is fresh, delicious, and made with care. Get off the main roads and come visit this little gem--you won't be disappointed! The staff is super friendly, and their baked goods are to die for! read more

I have eaten here many times .. The food is decent but I leave feeling "icky" after being patently ignored by the gold chained dude and other male servers . Today I went in expecting reuse service but craving a good smoked salmon eggs Benedict . WOW .. who cares about the service ! The food was exceptional and satisfying . The muffin perfectly crisp and buttery .. the hollandaise light and flavorful , the salmon warm and fatty and lovely grilled red onions to add sweetness with a few capers on for balance . 10 plus !! Then I ordered a cinnamon roll .. usually disappointing but I can't help but chase that nostalgic pastry experience of my youth . I want laminated pastry .. flavorful roasted pecans , crunchy cinnamon and light sweet glaze. Today !!! I found the best cinnamon roll I've ever had . I've tried them in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Switzerland . This one at Cafe Catron is now in the top 10 best things I've ever eaten . You gotta try it .. warm with butter ( you will not want or need the butter ) a truly special breakfast !! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but alas, the food was so-so/average, and the service was less than stellar. I dined with my wife and 10 others at a large table during the Santa Fe Foodies meet-up. I tried the BLUE CORN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE with chicken and Red/Green Chile (Christmas). Added an egg. The green chile was somewhat flavorless, while the red was better, with nice heat, but far from the best in town (IMHO, thus far, Café Castros). The chicken was nice, as was the garnish of lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro, and sour cream. But for $22, I was underwhelmed. My wife and four others had the special, which was Eggplant Parmesan. It was okay, but again, nothing special, and the 'garlic' bread lacked both garlic and flavor. This dish came with a salad; the server never asked what anyone wanted for a dressing, instead providing different salad dressings to other people. The service was subpar; the servers didn't know who ordered what, even though all the food arrived at the same time, which can be challenging for a table this big. We were presented with our checks without being offered dessert. No one recalled being asked if we were pleased with the food. The restaurant is rather loud, and the wooden chairs lacking cushions are rather uncomfortable. The food and service weren't bad, but it wasn't such that I'd be inclined to return, considering there are so many other, better options in this foodie town. It is nice that the restaurant has ample parking in this part of town. All in all, underwhelming, average, three stars. read more

First time visiting this restaurant. They sat our party of four and were immediately served our drinks which were tea and water. This place is very open and decorated simple. Plenty of parking outside the restaurant which is not always the case in Santa Fe. I ordered the fish and fries. These were made just the way I like them, with cod and plenty of tartar sauce to dip your fish into. These were by far some of the best I have had in a long time. My friends ordered the Cobb salad and the shrimp salad. It all looked great with plenty to take half home. We were there for lunch but I hear dinner is really good as well. Nice place to meet with friends. read more

Went on a Sunday for lunch. Service was terrible We sat outside for quite awhile (even though we were seated by 3someone) before anyone came to take our order or offer us a drink. The menu is not at all like the one posted. This is not a deli! Food was just ok But way too expensive. We had one breakfast entree, one mimosa, a side of potatoes and six slices of tomatoes. The bill was $60 without tip. Don't believe the description There are no vegan options other than potatoes, tomato, and avocado. The only pleasurable part of the experience was the live music outside. read more

Absolutely adore this place. One of our favorite stops in Santa Fe. Always good food great quality. Staff is always warm friendly and consistent. Love the ambience such a sweet vibe! Great food! read more

Wonderful, well prepared Rueben sandwich! Very, very good! The service here is excellent! With the warm weather coming, one can also sit outside! Fun. read more

I've eaten there three times and everything we've had has been delicious! I'm a breakfast gal, hands down favorite meal of the day. Santa Fe has so many fabulous French bakeries, which I enjoyed for a couple years as my breakfast spot. After reading the reviews in the Santa Fe foodies on Facebook, I thought I'd give Café Catron a try and I'm sure glad. Don't get me wrong, I love pastries and they're pretty fabulous here in Santa Fe, but I like a breakfast that's going to keep me satisfied well into the afternoon. I love going during the weekday for breakfast when it's a little quieter, the weekends can get pretty busy. My favorite item on their menu is the Southwestern Eggs Benedict. There are so many layers of flavor to this dish. It does have some heat to it, which I enjoy. It's also very filling. I usually end up, taking half of it home and reheating it in the toaster oven for lunch and it taste just as good The second time around. Definitely worth a visit! read more

nothing about this place is bad but nothing about it is great either. Just OK, maybe we just ordered the wrong thing, but I was unimpressed with the selection on the menu. Most likely will not return. read more

Very nice place, I remember the property as a bagel place, a few renditions later it became a cool cafe. Open industrial vibe with finesse, clean lines and very comfortable. Just a 10-15 minute walk from the plaza close but just far enough. Staff were welcoming and sincere, menu was a mix of SF favorites alongside many that you would recognize. I enjoyed the eggs Benedict with a side of green chili and a cup of Joe. All done really well would definitely come back to try the other offerings. read more

Had lunch here on Saturday with a group of six. Sat on patio in lovely shade with lots of native greenery/trees around us. Food was delicious and service was very attentive! I had the burrito with carne adovada and Christmas sauce; I couldn't decide which sauce was better bc both were excellent. Friends had the burger, margarita chicken bowl, and fish tacos. We also shared the watermelon and poached pear salads, which were the hit of the meal! We plan to try to replicate both at home. read more

Delicious burger even though I was tempted by the ceviche flight. Easy to get a table and lovely al fresco dining! I have had several wonderful lunches here. I didn't know they were open for dinner until today. Owned by super nice people and they have great staff.! read more

I don't usually write reviews but I was so impressed with Cafe Catron that I had to. The food was delicious, the service excellent, and it was so nice to have the owner stop by our table to chat. I love this place! My only suggestion to the owner was that it might need a little acoustics adjustment. It was very loud, which made it a bit of a struggle to converse with my partner. read more

Ordered sesame and green chile bagels with plain cream cheese to go. Both were delicious, especially the green chile. The wait staff were friendly and although I ordered at the counter, the interior looked nice from what I could tell. read more

Came here for lunch while on vacation and it was great! The place is cute with nice decor, friendly and efficient service, and my dish was amazing! I decided to try something new and had the Caldo de Puerco and it was delicious! read more

Cafe Catron - Caldo de Puerco - Bagels Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We wanted to start our gallery exploration day with a great breakfast, and Cafe Catron was perfect! One person had cheesy grits and an over easy egg and was very pleased. A traditional breakfast was a hit, the breakfast I chose was the regular French toast, and the whipped cream was fresh, the berries added to the flavor and it was just enough! We had great service, the food came out a perfect temperature and we all left energized for our day! read more

We've always enjoyed breakfast and lunch here, especially in the summer when Sunday brunch outside is accompanied by a lovely jazz band. But now they serve dinner Thursday, Friday and Saturday until 8:00. The room is cozy with added mood lighting and the menu is just what Santa Fe needs- a reasonably priced, varied menu for a comfortable night out. Our group tried the excellent cerviche, abundant nachos, a great hamburger, the tasty pasta dish and the delicious surf and turf special. They offer several nice wines as well! The service was very attentive. Not a fancy night out but a great place to have a delicious meal in a relaxed setting. A wonderful addition to the Santa Fe dining scene. read more

Waited 30 minutes on the patio door my food... which was cold. C'mon guys... get it together !! Also, this IS Santa Fe so please get rid of jelly with high fructose corn syrup and offer real jam. Trust me people will notice !!! read more

This is one of our regular go to spots! We love the servers they always recognize us and give great service, the patio is sweet and it's close to our house. I like the green Chile begal with lox and they also make a good omelette. read more

Really nice spot. Local feel, friendly service. Food was good but please either fix or remove the expensive, tiny, chewy lemon poppyseed waffle from the menu. It was inedible. With Dolina Cafe and Mille being outstanding, it's important to have a higher standard. read more

I had a ham and cheese on sourdough today. It looked like I got more than my share of babe, cause that sandwich was just overflowing with yummy yummy pork. The sourdough was toasted just right, and the tomato and lettuce were nice and fresh. I still haven't gotten around to trying the cheesecake here, which looks amazing, but I just can't find any leftover room for it by the time I am through with the main meal. Maybe next time ... read more

Cafe Catron - Bagels Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Visited Café Catron last night. They just recently began serving dinner in this beautifully restored old Ford Dealership building. I ordered the pork chop dinner. It was five stars, especially considering the wonderful butternut squash purée and artichoke hearts sides. The dining room is nicely appointed and the service was super attentive. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. To add to the appeal of the restaurant are the charming owners that check in to make sure everything is as expected. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Last of all, the pricing is well below Santa Fe norms! I look forward to trying breakfast and lunch soon. read more

Had a very good experience here. Food was good and service was good. The variety of eggs Benedict options are cool to see. Would definitely recommend. read more

Saw it advertised and thought we'd try someplace new. Nothing special. We had the Blue Corn Enchilada Casserole, and the Chicken Margarita Bowl. Didn't finish either due to lack of flavor. Won't be going back. I can see how it is convenient to locals living in the condos up the street, and there's plenty of parking. But otherwise I don't get it. read more

Food was fantastic! Quiche light and fluffy and flavorful. Service kind and accommodating. We hadn't been here since they remodeled but definitely will be back. Known for Benedicts - can't go wrong. Husband loved eggs and pancakes. Thank you for a lovely 22nd wedding anniversary breakfast. Ted and Lynne read more

This restuarant has great staff and food. We ordered the breakfast board with mimosas for 2. We had 2 adults and one child, we couldn't finish it all. The poppyseed waffle and syrup was yummy! The sausage was wonderful, actually all the food was great. Thank you for a great beginning for our day. read more

Great food nice service. I really enjoyed the eggs Bennidict. Would come back again with friends and family.

When this was New York Deli, it was among our favorite breakfast spots in Santa Fe. A few weeks ago, my wife took me there for Eggs Benedict for Father's Day (a tradition in our family). As sparse as the patrons were, it was nearly 15 minutes before anyone took our orders. My Eggs Benedict were great, but we were charged $3.50 (!) for a cup of coffee! Every meal comes with "breakfast potatoes." NY Deli was always willing to trade their cheap fried potatoes for a small fruit cup. (I should mention that I worked as a dinner cook in much better places than this!) Those days are history. Cafe Catron charges an extra $1.50 to replace their cheap fried potatoes for a small cup of fruit! Not only did we wait 15 minutes to be waited on... we waited nearly 30 minutes for our bill... This was on 6/13/23 when the "restaurant" wasn't even half-filled! My wife and I agreed. With more than 400 restaurants in Santa Fe, "Cafe Catron" is permanently off our list. read more

No love in sandwich's here. Boring. Rolls are flavorless. Up the sandwich game please

This place is constantly good for both breakfast and lunch. The staff treats you like family. The owner can often be found greeting diners. I'm so glad they survived the pandemic shutdown - even with new ownership. I've been going here for years and will continue to go. Btw - their Huevos Rancheros are some of the best in town. My Go to lunch item is their Rachel with sweet potato fries (they also have great match stick fries). read more

The Hits: They have a very diverse menu with lots of options for all different kinds of eating habits. Breakfast and lunch have both been good, with a mix of options and good sandwiches. Their bagels are pretty good too. I love their matzoh ball soup. calling ahead and getting your meal to go is a breeze. The Misses: Sometimes service is spotty. & When we were there yesterday, they informed us that they had 86'd falafels for good though... and I just don't even know how to process that. read more

Your far away from your Brooklyn roots. You can only eat so much green chilli...where can you go for NY food. Wait...we found it. Nestled north of the Plaza is The New York Deli. We sit down with anticipation. Wow!! right out of Bubbe's kitchen comes matzo ball chicken soup. Hot and delicious. I am already feeling better. Than comes out a heaping pastrami sandwich called Rachel with sauerkraut and melted cheese accompanied with cole slaw. Each bite takes me back to Carnegie Hall Deli. Thank you New York Deli.

Being a New Yorker by birth, whenever I travel around the country, I look for some cafe or restaurant the feature a little bit of New York on the menu. The bagels are it for me. Perfection! Only a New Yorker would recognize the taste that a true bagel presents to your throat, seriously. Bagels are a true "back of the mouth" food that makes room for a shmear of Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese to hit the front of your mouth. Well done New York on Catron, well done. read more

Our new favorite local spot for breakfast and lunch. Best bagels. Amazing iced lattes. Awesome menu. Consistent and friendly service.
