A cool cafe that offers artsy vibes and great lattes. We stopped in several times over our stay in Santa Fe! So much so that we completed a punch card for a free coffee. Each day someone else was working the counter and every single person was inviting and friendly. We tried the iced caramel latte and iced brown sugar espresso. The caramel latte was our favorite. I did not stop in for food since even though the board mentioned gluten-free options, it seemed like the staff wasn't really informed about them. The cafe also hosts several events. I would highly recommend their coffee if you're in the area! read more

Cake's is the locals go-to spot, cuz we know what's really good around here! The food is delicious, and they have everything you want no matter what your hunger level. Sometimes, my go to is one of their yummy pastries, but if I'm real hungry, I'll go for a breakfast burrito or a Panini with a side salad. The service is so good you leave feeling like an old friend of the staff. They are warm, engaging, and always happy to see you. The ambience is chill with plenty of places to sit and chat or work. There's good music playing in the background and great events going on throughout the week at various staggered times. The location is smack dab in downtown with a gorgeous view of the famous Seret and Sons from their large windows that let in tons of lovely natural light. There's also a cool bar area you could sit out and work from or chitchat with a friend. Thank you, Cake's Team! You are all amazing! read more

This place is really cute, and seems like it has a great atmosphere. The ambiance and seating is great. However, I wouldn't say I had a great experience. I ordered a Mexican Mocha, and while good, it didn't taste spiced as advertised. Additionally, it was a double, but costed over $10. Lastly, the woman working at the counter wasn't particularly nice. At the counter, she was straight to the point in a way that felt a little harsh/aggressive. I've been a barista for a couple places over a few years, and never found myself talking to customers that way. My partner was waiting for me outside the restroom, and she rudely told him it wasn't a public restroom. He explained that he was just waiting for me, and that I had in fact made a purchase, but she still responded in a rude tone before she walked away. I completely understand the concern over the restrooms, but approaching the situation with rudeness is unnecessary, especially once explained. I'm glad we stopped by, and I'm sure this is a nice place that people enjoy. Based on other ratings, it seems to be great usually. It just happens to be that my experience today was on the poorer side. read more

Great breakfast food from scratch and friendly service. Cool local cafe with a nice menu and breakfast all day. Walked here, but parking in this part of Santa Fe requires some planning or walking. Definitely worth giving this spot a try, we will likely be back for more! read more

I fell into this place upon arriving in Sante Fe today. I started with a Mexican Cacoa coffee drink and then got a roasted green chili pannini. YUM to both. The sandwich comes with a variety of side options. I chose a green salad with balsamic viniagrette. The place is funky, wirh good music playing and is very dog friendly- hence the relaxed dog pic. There was a tarot gal on location for the day, if you wish for a reading Cha-cha was the gal running the place. She's welcoming, friendly, informative and quick. Loved the vibe! read more

What an unexpected delight! Popped in for coffees and hot chocolates and found ourselves in a funky, artsy, totally unique community gathering space. They do a ton of weekly events and Audi, our host, was personable and just the right amount of sarcastic. Would definitely return! read more

4.5 overall. Great find. We two stopped in for coffee and pastries. COFFEE: 5.0. The server suggested Mexican Mocha. I ordered a regular and my wife a decaf. Outstanding taste. PASTRIES: 3.5. We both had a chocolate croissant (aka pain au chocolat). Warmed up; very good. SERVICE: 5.0. She was wonderful. Very proactive and accomodating. AMBIANCE: 4.5. Funky. Friendly. While we were having coffee, a gentleman came in and announced to us and other customers that he was about to start providing free chess lessons/pointers at one of the tables and that we were welcome to join. read more

$40 for a bad vanilla latte (no oat milk and bad espresso) and really bad drip, an overpriced avocado toast that should've been $8 at most and a breakfast burrito that actually was tasty. Two workers with only one who knew what they were doing, so we waited at least 30 minutes after ordering for something that should've taken max of 10. I feel bad leaving a review like this as the workers were nice but this experience was uncomfortable. read more

We had an amazing barista, Audi. We ordered four coffees and a slice of cake. It was absolutely delicious! Great service and good place to have coffee and more read more

Good bang for your buck. I had the double latte and my husband had the breakfast burrito. The latte was a bit more expensive than what I'm usually used to paying but it was tasty. My husband really enjoyed the breakfast burrito which came with a side salad. The server was friendly and the cafe vibe was pleasant. Would recommend! read more

Went there with my family for a great performance of Boris McCutcheon and Steve McCormick. The kids were hungry so we ordered the Nachos and the Chicken Pesto Pizza both for $20.00 and both were minuscule and way overpriced. I guess if we ever go there again we'll eat somewhere else first. read more

This is an artsy spot serving a handful of food options. We picked this as a second choice after the place we found parking for and walked too turned out to be closed. Cake's was nearby and as it turned out, had more than cakes and breakfast. They had a very tasty garbanzo bean salad that we both enjoyed. Nice and tangy with a clear balsamic type sauce/dressing. Both the pizza and Italian BLT were a nice surprise for what is mostly a coffee cafe from the looks of things. The people working that day were extremely welcoming and friendly which gave me reason to stay and I'm glad we did. read more

My new go-to spot for casual gatherings, fun / creative events - singles events, karaoke, open mic. Great coffee, mimosas, vino, beer, desserts, and excellent thin, crispy crust pizza too. I hosted a private event there after hours, and it was a big hit. The service is warm, friendly, and accommodating--I am so happy to have found Cakes Cafe. read more

Fun little to go to after hours. They have themed nights and very nice staff. Sometimes a secret menu too!

A cute shop almost hidden away but with a deceiving amount of space within the shop! So don't be deceived like I was initially! It's an eclectic shop with lots of food and drink options. They also give discounts to locals, a nice perk! I got a lavender latte which hit the spot. Pick up a punch card when ordering... It's buy four get your fifth free! read more

My Wife and I stopped by for a coffee and burrito on a Sunday morning. Only one worker and we had 2 customers in front of us with coffee orders. We ordered ours to go after them and they only got coffee orders as well. It took 30 min for the two coffees to come out then another 15 for the burrito. Coffee came out cold as well. read more

Cake's Cafe - a cup of coffee in front of a picture of an angel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Popped in here during a rain storm and wanted to get a warm drink. I got their version of a mocha which was good but too sweet for my liking. The customer service was great with friendly service. They had just baked some strawberry white chocolate cookies that I purchased as well. Super delicious. This place was quite large inside as well with a small patio but plenty of space inside. I hope to try out more items from this nearby shop. read more

The friendliest place in town. I go here usually once a week. I haven't eaten anything yet as I go for the coffee, locals' discount and unlimited refills. And, of course, the wonderful staff. There are many places to sit, the free WiFi is a boon and if you like purple, this is definitely the setting for you. The business has been expanding into the night with open mics and a liquor license. I haven't been yet, but I drove by and it looked like a good time. read more

Here visiting and just happen upon this cafe. I had matcha latte with a croissant and my husband had Mexican mocha. Both are delicious !! The Matcha is better than Starbucks. Not sweet and the matcha taste comes through as a flavor. A must visit !! read more

The barista was very nice but the Coffee was terrible. Coffee tasted burnt and weak, just like a cheap auto-drip machine. The London fog tea was undrinkable (extremely sweet with terrible aftertaste) I threw the drinks away after a couple sips, wasted money. read more

We got there just after they opened. She warmly invited us in. She was very personable but the restaurant wasn't ready for customers. Tables and chairs were bunched tightly together. Tablecloths were dirty. I ordered oatmeal. It came in a large cup, loaded with blueberries, apple and strawberry slices and walnuts. However the oatmeal was very clumpy, as if it had just been reheated. She told my husband the espresso machine wasn't working so he could not get his, but minutes later, another customer got an espresso. Not a good place for breakfast. read more

I've been here twice now -- once for a to-go tea and once for a light dinner, and I'll be back. Both times, I was met with friendly, laid-back but professional service. The tea is good quality (sometimes difficult to find these days) and the food is well-prepared and tasty. Prices were very reasonable for Santa Fé. Great, lively atmosphere, with a lot of fun and interesting performance events each day of the week. I highly recommend this jewel -- don't give your money to the corporate cafés in town! Please support this creative, fun local business -- they know what they're doing! This is a great spot, sure to become a favorite of locals who still venture downtown and visitors to The City Different! read more

Interesting place. During weekday mid-morning it was completely empty, but I would guess probably more lively on a weekend. Very casual with eclectic styling. read more

Interesting place. We didn't eat, just lattes. Definitely catering to a particular crowd. People were friendly. Workers were a bit noisy. A little BO wafting. Somewhat cluttered. Lattes were mediocre. Didn't tip because machine started at 20% and no "custom tip". Still, there was caffeine in the lattes and pretty good music playing. read more
