Cafe Fina

Amazing food; our team stopped here after a long and cold day while a photo workshop. Everyone agreed that all choices were outstanding.

My dad has been telling me about Café Fina for a while. Today I finally had dinner there. Greeted by a super friendly and knowledgeable lady. Amazing display of deserts, help with making the right decision, and amazing atmosphere. The best part was the great food! Look forward to coming back!

Very consistent in their food quality. Staff are warm and pleasant. I have tried everything on their menu and have never been disappointed. The best is their breakfast burrito. Almost too big to eat at one sitting, but I just hang and take my time !!

I usually stop by another Café/​Bakery for chocolate croissants on my way home to Texas. One day, however it was closed at 8:30 am so I had to find somewhere else. This was the happiest moment ever because it led me to Café Fina!
I went through the drive-​thru with my two dogs and they even brought BACON out to them as if I needed anymore reasons to love them…
The staff is the friendliest I’ve ever met. The food is delicious. Seriously. Those Cloud Cakes are called «cloud cakes» because they take you to heaven. They’re pancakes made with ricotta (which makes them extra fluffy), fresh butter and maple syrup and to top it all off, berries and mint sprigs. My friend ordered an omelette (which I had to sample) and boyfriend ordered the green chile burger (had to sample it too). So delicious. I absolutely LOVE this place. I cannot wait to go back. Amazing Service. Amazing Food. Amazing Place.

Cloud cakes! Great coffee! A playground and handsome cat to keep my kids entertained! These are the reasons Café Fina is my favorite place to eat breakfast in Santa Fe. A wonderful family-​friendly setting and menu, with lovely staff and reasonable prices.

We recently visited Santa Fe and stayed at The Rancheros de Santa Fe Campground about 2 miles away. We ate breakfast at Café Fina twice and loved everything about it. The breakfast burrito and the Migas are incredible. They also serve coffee from Aroma Coffee Company of Santa Fe. The dark roast is amazing. I will be having it shipped to me in Oklahoma from now on.
Definitely visit this place. You WILL NOT be disappointed!

Wonderful place — I am not a big fan of ordering at a counter, finding a seat and waiting for your food, but the food was worth it. I would definitely come here again if I am in the area. The celery, green apple, lemon, and ginger juice was very good — I would use more apple, but it is probably healthier their way — the omlet and the breakfast burrito were both fantastic. I highly recommend this place — they would have gotten 5 stars if it was a regular sit-​down restaurant

Diamond in the rough! Tomato soup, breakfast burrito, omelet all amazing! Had a celery, green apple, lemon & ginger juice… WOW! Its located right off hwy 25 at an old Fina gas station. Order at the counter and they deliver. Make a point and stop with a hungry tummy

I almost didn’t review because everybody said it all. This place will not disappoint you. Matter of fact we are meeting a good friend for lunch there today. We ate there this past Monday and were there last week. The menu is not huge but we will be getting something different again today. I don’t care what you get, just make sure you get the green rice on the side, if it doesn’t come with it. Their juices and soups are great too. They are open in the evening now, Thursday through Saturday. If you live in Eldorado and haven’t been here, you are really missing a great meal.

Most restaurants in and around Sante Fe are abit pretentious, overrated or both. Café Fina — which is about 15 minutes from Sante Fe on Old Las Vegas Highway — is neither.
Café Fina is in a class of it’s own. This place is a gem. It could even be a cult — it’s so good that the locals are keeping it quiet :)
Calming and interesting décor, über hip staff in vibrant tie dye T shirts with thought provoking logos about NM floating around in a culinary paradise. Because the food here is simply incredible — the breakfast burritos are the best I’ve ever tasted. In fact I don’t think I’m able to eat one anywhere else again– it would just be too disappointing.
Not many places out there can deliver food of this quality and distinction. They use organic eggs and chicken. The complexity and depth of textures and flavours are a strong indication that a seriously talented chef/​cook/​visionary/​alchemist lurking in the kitchen breathes, knows, and understands good food. The cuppuccinos are strong and sublime and the macaroons mouth watering. They offer a wonderful patisserie selection too.
South West cuisine and Mexican food will never be the same again. After experiencing Café Fina, the 4 hour drive from where we live just to eat a meal there is worth it. It’s a monthly sojourn because this place is unique.
Be forewarned– you will experience withdrawal symptoms from the food and eating out will never the same again. There are not many places around these days that approach food in such an understated and creative way.
I’m going to buy the tie dye T and join the Café Fina cult…

30 mins or so north of town this place is a great find! Fresh, delicious fare, the menu offers something for everyone at fare prices. Generous portions too!
Recently opened for dinner, we can’t wait to go back now having had lunch there twice. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable. And the baked good are off the charts! Save room for desert.

Five stars just for the Tofu Reuben!!! Been a vegetarian for years, but somehow I always want sauerkraut and thousand island dressing on rye. All of my prayers and cravings have been answered in one delicious sandwich. I might go back in for lunch tomorrow to get the exact same thing again. Sooooo good.

Another wonderful meal at this place, where consistency reigns, a neat trick most restaurants can’t manage to pull off! Migas ordered half & half with crispy hashbrowns and black beans were off the charts and cloud cakes were amazing. Love the counter service, which keeps things moving, and kitchen puts out food very fast. Hashbrowns are the real deal, a rarity these days. Overall perfection can be expected at this special little gem!

I go there for coffee 3 times a week. Tried almost everything there. I know this sounds useless, but really everything is good there. I especially love their pastries.

I am not going to beat around the bush with this review I am just going to jump right in and give it the solid 5 stars that it deserves.
This place is a true hidden gem and if it wasn’t for my weak bladder and absolutely needing to find a rest room «right now» we would never have found this place. from the outside it really dosent look like much and again had I of not needed to use the rest room I would never have stepped inside and saw what a wonderful establishment was awaiting. The inside is light and cheerful and very clean you can tell that they hold a high standard in every possible way.
We hadnt planned on eating but I picked up a menu on my way back out to the car and after seeing they had a drive thru my husband agreed we should just grab something to eat and not have to make any more stops.
I ordered the green chille cheeseburger with the option of half fries/​half salad for my side and my husband ordered the Rueben with fries. Within 10 – 15 minutes our food was in my lap steaming hot and we were once again on the road…
The food was packaged really nice in little boxes (wish i had taken a photo) and wow oh wow everything came together perfectly it wasnt one of those occasions where everything looks nice then dosent hold up to that same standard in the taste department… the food was devine, both myself and my husband agreed that it was the best food on our mini trip to colorado springs & back.
I loved all of the organic and natural options on the menu that really isnt something that you see very often… i cant wait to return and try one of the burritos.
I am so happy that my bladder led me to this place and we will certainly be back next time we are driving by.

Don’t let the low key affect of CF fool you. Order from the minimal menu and go sit in the casual space then BAM!!! They bring out some of the BEST food anywhere in Santa Fe. Local centric, forget the overrated Harry’s Roadhouse and dug in. Vegan breakfast? Hell no in most places. Here, without missing a beat they offered what turned out to be the single best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had and I’ve had a LOT! Crispy hashies, grilled squash, spinach and likely a whole avocado… Bloody hell I was in heaven. One of Santa Fe’s secrets, miss it you lose. Just go.

This place is a godsend for those of us in the Eldorado/​Highway 285 area. They do an amazing job and are fast and friendly.
My faves are the breakfast burrito and the daily quiche.
SO happy we have Café Fina and if we ever move into town, I will drive back this way just for their burritos.

We accidentally stop to this restaurant because Google map made us turned around a couple times on the trip to ski first time in Santa Fe. I gave up driving and saw this place had a lot of cars parked all over the place. This restaurant looked like in the middle of no where. I don’t think I saw any business around that area for a mile except a bike shop next door.
We ordered just simple food chicken noodle soup and salad. They both were taste so good. They looked very fresh, simple and clean. Of course, they both yummy!
If we go back to Santa Fe again, we would add this restaurant on the place to eat list for sure.

I’ll absolutely be coming back here to grab food /​coffee and get some work done. It’s a lovely, well-​run space with tasty eats, friendly staff, and a relaxed feel.
I especially recommend the Cloud Cakes. They’re heavenly!

We had been driving through TX and NM for some time heading towards Santa Fe. The roads were horizontal, lengthy and had a monotonous view of nothing for a very VERY long time. I was so happy to start seeing hills ahead that were slowly getting larger and larger. My navigational skills were very rusty from driving straight forever. So I missed our exit onto I-​25. It was an awe crap moment, so I said just pull ahead and stop while I sort out where we are. We pulled forward and I thought it was a mirage! What is this cute little place in front of us? A café, really? Yes! Perfect time to stop, refuel ourselves, and stretch out our bodies.
This place was a gift straight from heaven for anyone in area, but especially for the traveler from the flat lands of nothing. The interior was clean, fresh with bright art work, and had many options for indoor or outdoor seating. They even had a play area for the kids. Puppies were welcome on the patio too! But I really loved the resident cat, Tiger. He was so laid back … a real cool cat!
They had great food choices with many vegetarian options. And as a side option you could pick the ½ & ½ if you wanted: ½ order of fries and ½ order of salad. We had the fried fish sandwich and tofu Reuben with the ½ & ½. Both were very nicely presented and incredibly yummy. We really enjoyed everything about this place and the employees were really great as well.
The patio could use a little attention to cleanliness to keep flies at bay, but if they bother you — sit inside.
