Down-home, country-style cafe that's 7.5 miles north of Cerrillos and 17 miles south of Santa Fe on Hwy 14. Aside from some excellent red chile and desserts such as bourbon apple pie to sate that sweet tooth, turkeys and peacocks strut and squabble outside; the attached feed store adds some genuine Western soul. Reserve on weekends.
