    Great food. Loved the quiche, cinnamon roll and raspberry pastry. Everything was amazing

    Chocolate chip and walnut cookie, pistachio and white chocolate scone, cinnamon roll, and chocolate croissant...

    The only reason that I visited Chama was to stop by for pastries from Wilder Bakeshop. I patiently waited three nights until they were open at 0700 on Saturday (the owner, Jazzmyn, is only open on the weekends in shoulder season). I take my baked goods veeery seriously. So, my checked luggage included a Rubbermaid container. The staff was very friendly and the interior is very calm and modern. I've only had a cinnamon roll so far (pre-Edward Sargent Wildlife Area trail run!), but it was delicious. I highly recommend Wilder Bakeshop.

    Too unique and delicious to pass up!

    *********** The owner is a talented and courageous woman. Someday someone should document her life journey which features plenty of courage and success. "If you build it, they will come." Unlike some bakeries, who have a backstop of family and kickstarter money... The owner of Wilder Bake Shop did this all on her own. After a tragic accident took the life of her fiancé in the Chama area, she could've just turned around and headed back to the Pacific Northwest and started a new career in safe comfortable surroundings. Instead she took some of her experience from previous baking endeavors... and created Wilder. To suggest people come from "far and wide," just to sample her creations... would be an understatement. Frankly, every single time we visit Wilder, when the town hasn't shut its water off... or some other calamity keeps them from opening their doors... We run into people who have planned their Northern New Mexico journey around this bakery. I love the location near Chama... I really love Chama too. The winding road from the South leading to the town, and the proximity to Pagosa Springs and Durango... The access from Taos and Santa Fe is easy... There's a lot of reasons to plan some time in this area. But the "icing on the cake" literally is Wilder Bake Shop Hope you have a chance to find your way here... She/they deserve your business and your loyalty. Note: Please don't eat all the quiche, sure it's amazing, but pls save some for the rest of us! https://wilderbakeshop.com Instagram is worth viewing too ...

    Everything is homemade. Everything baked is unique and full with different flavors. Every time we go Chama we have to visit.

    If you're looking for a quick breakfast and coffee, this is the place to go. It's a clean, modern style bakery with southwestern touches. The service was great and so was the food!

    Delicious pastries!!

    Very disappointing recent visit. The pizzas were burnt on the bottom and undercooked on the inside…read more We agreed that the lettuce-covered enchiladas weren't good, but the steak was. The sauteed mushrooms were also good. The service was at least as disappointing. They took our beer orders, but never served them. The restaurant was not super busy at the time, so there's no excuse. [Original 5-star review] One of two restaurants in Chama that I consider really good (the other is Outlaw BBQ). On our most recent visit, we had 3 pizzas: buffalo chicken (a special not on the regular menu), Yard Bird, and pepperoni. All were really good; the buffalo chicken was my favorite. I advise ordering, up front, everything you plan to drink. Having finished a great milk stout beer, and there being no sign of our food, I went back to get another and was firmly told to go to the end of the (food ordering) line. Before I got to order again, most of the beers, including the milk stout, had run dry. It was a half hour before I made it back to our table, but I did beat the pizzas.

    Great spot in town! Keep in mind this is a counter service. For food, we enjoyed the pizza. Their…read moreservice was attentive and friendly and we loved the ambiance on their outdoor deck.

The menu was simple with ribs, brisket pulled pork, and other expected barbecue specialties, and the usual sides - potato salad, mac & cheese etc. We opted for the two meat and two side plate, as well as the three taco special. The tacos were very delightful with brisket and pulled pork covered in a slaw and barbecue sauce. Very very tasty. The second dish was the two meat to side and we chose the brisket and pulled pork, the smoked mac & cheese and potato salad. The brisket had a nice smoke ring, and a wonderful flavor. The pulled pork with succulent and also had a wonderful smoky flavor. The barbecue sauce was served on the side so you're able to add as much as you want. The sauce was very good and complemented the meat well. The smoked mac & cheese was very tasty and had the right amount of cheese to bread, crumb, and pasta. It was not the traditional elbows, which was great. The potato salad was of the German variety which I like and was also very tasty. we finished off the meal with some waters and a Coke zero. This is a simple barbecue truck with a very nice owner. There is a picnic table beside the truck under a tree which made for a delightful treat. The owner was very nice and definitely knows how to cook a brisket. There are not a lot of options for restaurants in Chama these days and on a Sunday afternoon. This was a very welcome surprise.

Adorable (well, everything is adorable in Taos; it's the southwestern charm for sure!) but it's more than what its appearance says it all. You have to try their products and see for yourself. What I got me were a few bon bons and a chocolate torte (the whiskey kind). -Miso Caramel: is shaped like a mushroom. Even if you might not be a fan of miso based (everything), you should try these bon bons anyway as they don't taste like miso at all. I was quite shocked with this myself (well, I like miso soup; miso taste doesn't bother me at all. Even so, Miso chocolate candy was something I didn't know what to expect out of. That is why I am saying that I was surprised by it.) -New Mexico , Spicy: was also surprising. The kick in these tiny pieces was quite mighty and yet it was tolerable. -Whisky Torte: All sorts of organic ingredients are used to make these delightful tortes. Tortes tend to be a lot heavier than traditional cakes as their texture is that of fudge. And yet, that shouldn't be a reason for you to steer clear from it as this chocolatier perfected the torte in a way that it will not be too rich or heavy for your taste or stomach. At least that is what I thought when I tasted it. Another must-try item on their menu offerings. For its interior, it's mostly and simply grey on walls but this emits the "chicness" that doesn't overshadow the theme of its business. You should also pay attention to the ceilings and the floors. A careful attention to entertain the guests' eyes is seen throughout. Service was good. I first went here late in the afternoon (close to its closing time). I quickly glanced at each section of the store inside. The kind gentleman upfront wanted to assist me but after asking him if it was open tomorrow (it would be Sunday), he said yes to which I gave him my promise that I would be back tomorrow. The same man assisted me when I was back the very next day to make a purchase. Not sure if he remembered me or not. It's not chocolate bon bons or tortes you can enjoy at this store. The café offers tasting trios, mocha, chocolate mouse, ice cream, affogato, hot chocolate, and espresso and so on. This is a haven for chocolate fanatics.

    I live in the area and wanted to support our local coffee shop, and have been for about 9 months…read more The service has always been appalling and while 4.70$ for a drip coffee is steep, we supported them because they were selling a local coffee company (also called Steep) and were willing to pay the premium to support a local family owned roaster. They informed me today that they will no longer be selling Steep because they raised their prices. They are now selling allegro as their drip, and when asked if using corporate coffee would lower the price of their drip, they said no. As far as I'm concerned this is disingenuous and a pretty bad hustle. Other complaints include no visible pricing and random price switching (due to the lack of transparency). We will not be back. Please consider supporting the Steep roasting company ten minutes up the road, you can get a fresh bag for 2/3 the price that higher grounds sells it for anyway.

The restaurant was clearly popular, with a packed parking lot and a steady line of guests waiting for tables. While the outdoor seating wait was about 30 minutes, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated indoors right away. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, though it can get quite loud during busy times. I ordered the Rio Brisket Tacos and appreciated the happy hour discount, which made them an even better value. The Chokecherry Habanero Margarita was a standout, offering just the right balance of flavor and heat. My son tried the Homesick Texas Steak Sandwich along with a homemade root beer and thought they were decent. Service was a bit inconsistent during our visit, but the staff seemed to be managing a very busy crowd. The restaurant's popularity was evident when we overheard that the wait time had grown to an hour and a half by the time we left.

The unique drink offerings, happy hour specials, eating by the river and strong local following may make it worth a visit for travelers passing through the area.
