We stumbled upon this cafe after visiting the Rio Grande Bridge. We was welcomed with friendly people and ordered some breakfast. We got breakfast sandwiches with extra bacon and all we can say is, this is the best meal we had on a weeks long trip around New Mexico. We definitely recommend you to stop by the cafe and we will be back if we come by this area again.

Cool vortex with good food, coffee, art and conversations. Great gatherings and unparalleled views of cloudbursts and sunsets. Love the weird wild wacky locals of Carson.
