The Bean of Mesilla

The Bean Café is a cornerstone of the Las Cruces coffee and café scene, celebrated for its relaxed atmosphere and thoughtful vegan options. With locally roasted beans and a menu that highlights both classic and inventive plant-based fare (think breakfast burritos with vegan sausage and house-made pastries), it’s a go-to for those seeking a laid-back brunch or lunch. The café’s strong ties to the local arts community are evident in its rotating gallery exhibits and collaborative events. Multiple sources, including Condé Nast Traveler and NM Magazine, highlight The Bean as a must-visit for vegans and vegetarians, with particular praise for its community-driven ethos and reliably delicious menu.
