Mille
For when: You want the best French inspired breakfast/brunch in Santa Fe.
Our favorite Cafe in Santa Fe is Mille. This French Café & Crêperie, Mille is an easily missed Cafe, humbly located on the corner of W Alameda St.
Mille arguably offers Santa Fe’s best croissants, but we’ll let you decide! Go buy them now!
Parking: About 6 spots directly next to the shop and a shared (free) parking lot conveniently across the street.
The only thing we dislike about Mille are the hours. Open 7AM-3PM Wednesday-Sunday, we wish they were a 7-day operation.
Food: Amazing baked goods and brunch options.

Ohori’s Coffee Roasters, Pen Rd. Location
For when: you want a sensible coffee stop from the Santa Fe Rail Trail or a convenient drive through option.
Ohori’s might be considered as the best coffee shop in Santa Fe by the SFdaily team, but don’t just take our word for it. Go support either location.
This location sandwiched between the Santa Re Rail Runner and Domino’s, is in the heart of the cities main roads, making it a great idea to stop by after fueling up.

For when: you are planning your great escape to Meow Wolf or are looking something near your South Cerrillos Rd hotel.
Java Joe’s is a hidden gem in both the South Cerrillos /Rodeo Plaza Flowers & Gifts plaza off of Rodeo rd. If Java Joe’s was closer to the heart of Santa Fe, this would be my go to coffee shop, but I don’t like driving 20 minutes roundtrip in the wee hours of the morning.
However, if you’re staying south of town on Cerrillos (which is highly likely) I implore you to stop hesitating and go now.
For caffeine seekers in a rush, Java Joes Rodeo location has a drive-through window and quality pastries to complement their excellent coffee.

Madame Matisse is a delightful French Bakery, Cafe, and Restaurant in Santa Fe. I love this spot but don’t visit nearly enough as it’s farther down Cerrillos road than I like to venture to get Coffee.
As it’s down Cerrillos behind S.Q. Auto Sales, Madame Matisse isn’t a place you stumble upon, you need to know about it.
Treat yourself to the unbelievable French pastries and your Santa Fe trip is off to the right start.
Parking: No issues. Plenty of spots in the lot or adjacent lots.
Locals Tip: Speak French and enjoy yourself! If you’re lucky enough to be staying at the Chic El Ray Court Hotel, I would start your mornings off by walking across the street to this excellent option.
