Opuntia Cafe - Santa Fe

A friend and I shared a Saturday brunch here and I am impressed. Was not until I saw the logo, name and such that I realized I had visited previous location closer to Meow Wolf with only a so-so experience. I am so glad my friend reintroduced me and thatI did not realize until we got there. Pleasantly surprised. Love the plants, decor and plenty of light. I immediately spottedfamiliar vibrant community faces as we walked to our table. We chose one close to the patio for a well balance indoor/outdoorvibe. Our host was proficient and kind. Our waitress Molly did a great job all around with presence, right amount of check-insand quality dessert recommends. My friend and I decided to order variations on a similar theme and switch plates halfwaythrough.. we went with the Avocado Toast and Mushroom Toast...perfectly complimentary and yet I have a feeling we both liked theavocado toast the best. Mushroom not bad at all, though. Our drinks were different and equally quality. My friend went with arefreshing ???? flowery chamomile infusion and I had the cacao lavender mint blend calling my name...absolutely divine... astronger flavor. I would absolutely order it again. When it came dessert time my friend was persuasive and glad he was. Ifelt pretty full so I was pleased with our collaborative selection of the German chocolate...this particular one is lighter andnot as rich as the German Chocolate cake I have had before. So even though I was full the cake was just the perfect slice sizefor the two of us and I didn't feel weighted down in the gut afterward. Overall a really pleasant experience that has elevatedmy previous experience of Opuntia. Thank you! We lost track of time chatting and chewing in conviviality.

Pretty cool atmosphere, lots of plants and even a koi pond! That being said, the food was good, if a touch pricey. Portion size was decent as well. We'll probably go back and check them out for breakfast another time.

This is a fantastic stop at the Railyards in Santa Fe! With its stylish industrial ambiance, open garage doors that lead to a lovely balcony, and incredibly friendly staff, you can't go wrong here. The menu offers a mix of adventurous yet comforting dishes, perfect for both food enthusiasts and comfort food lovers to enjoy together. The coffee and tea are brewed to perfection. Many of the plants displayed around the restaurant are for sale, typically priced between $20 and $70. To get there, simply exit the Rail Runner, turn right, and cross the tracks. The entrance is located on the side of the building; just head up the stairs to find the restaurant. They also offer private non-gendered restrooms. In the summer, there's a growers market on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and local artisans showcase their crafts in the building across the tracks near the Second Street Brewery on Sundays. Currently, a day pass on the Rail Runner from Albuquerque to Santa Fe is just $2.25 per person, making it an affordable trip to this destination dining spot!

What a wonderful place with a view of the market and railroad tracks! The restaurant has an open design that welcomes plenty of light and fresh air. The music is soft enough to allow for easy conversation among friends. The flavors of the Japanese Bowl are delicate, although I wish the presentation were more refined; I would have preferred the yams to be cut into bite-sized pieces. However, I’m giving it three stars because I found dirt inside the water container!

We discovered this café while visiting the farmers market and decided to stop by for a snack. The place had a great vibe, with a lovely koi pond and a beautiful view. To our surprise, it was also quite spacious! The coffee was excellent, and the food was genuinely tasty. We ordered the avocado toast and the mango crème brûlée. Both dishes were delicious, though they felt a bit pricey.
