We've been to 35° North Coffee about four times now since they opened. We don't live in Santa Fe,…read morebut when we come to visit, this is one of the places we like to come back to. The coffee is amazing, the service is great, and everyone is always so friendly! I love trying some of the different flavors, especially the chile and lavender coffees. My husband likes more of the refreshing, lemonade-type drinks. One of his favorites is the James Bond, which Ape from Wind River Trading Company recommended to us. So if you go, try the James Bond! They also have a beautiful patio upstairs where you can sit and look down over the street and just enjoy Santa Fe. It has such a nice atmosphere and is a great place to sit for a while, have a good drink, and people-watch. Definitely one of our favorite little stops when we're in Santa Fe. We'll be back!

BEST COFFEE EVER! As my family and I were walking around the plaza, we wanted some coffee. We ended…read moreup coming across this hidden gem! The minute we walked into this coffee shop, we were kindly greeted by everyone working. Then, we were given a sample of their caramel sauce that is house made. Apparently, a majority of their syrups and sauces are made in house which is a PLUS. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with caramel drizzle. I've been to a lot of coffee shops and dare i say that this was the BEST VANILLA LATTE i've ever had! We sat outside (they have outdoor and indoor seating which is nice). We had accidentally spilled some coffee, thankfully Kagome was so SWEET and HELPFUL, she immediately came to clean up the mess. Thank you again Kagome! We truly appreciated the staff and the entire ambiance of the shop. Definitely will be coming back!!! Last note. If you're not a big fan of coffee, then I 100% recommend the horchata (it's made in house). SO GOOD!

5/5 for the latte, food and vibes…read more Their latte is a must try here. I was pleasantly surprised when the latte tasted light with notes of berries. I also tried their lox on their homemade bagel and enjoyed every delicious bite of it. Must try. The place is spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating area. Parking can be pretty tight though.

The employees/baristas and customers were so friendly here! I'm from San Diego and was visiting Santa Fe for a week with my family. I tried to sample many of the coffee shops in town and this one stood out for its friendly service and warm atmosphere, plus quality coffee. I ordered the horchata latte and it was delicious! However, it didn't seem very strong coffee-wise (I believe my latte had two shots of espresso?), so I had to come back like an hour later to get a second one to satisfy my caffeine needs. The breakfast/brunch options looked amazing and were reasonably priced, but during our stay we did not end up eating here...we simply ran out of time! The space is within a shared work building right off the street, walkable from where we were staying and close enough to walk to the Plaza. I enjoyed walking here on a few mornings and getting the feel of what it might be like to be a local in town, while scanning the many clothing and other types of shops along the way. Overall I'd recommend this coffee shop for friendly vibes and yummy coffee drinks...but next time I'd add an extra shot to my latte.

It's the second time we've seen this in 2 days. Yuck. There's a lack of food items here. Only burritos and croissants, and when we arrive around 1 pm, there were only ham and cheese croissants, which did not appeal to us.

I visited on a Tuesday, so the vibe was laid back with plenty of open seats in the coffeeshop area. It was a hot day, so I ended up going with an iced chai, which was too sugary for my tastes. They also had a small pastry case, but I didn't partake. Service was friendly at both the coffee counter and book counter. Overall, a cute independent store worth popping into.

He didn't realize they only put one type of meat and cheese on the sandwich. The person taking the order was a bit gruff and didn't explain. I'm not sure I would come back.

It can get quite crowded in the winter time, but they do have an outside patio/courtyard that does open up a bit more space for seating come spring/summer/fall. The staff has been friendly in my experience, I can't say that I've ever had a negative experience thus far (knock on wood). Some random information: ~ A water station is available, which is a plus. ~ Parking is available, however, at busier times, you may have to find street parking and do some walking. And the best information: ~ If you happen to be a reader, there is a bookstore near by (Garcia Street Books) that opens around 10am, I believe. Coffee and books is always a win, a double win!

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!

The citrus was quite evident and refreshing while the nutmeg gave the Jeffersonian a very earthy flavor. Even though this time we didn't have their truffles, their flavors are unique with lavender, fruits, and even chiles. If you are in for unique sweets and rich elixirs, I absolutely recommend Kakawa.
