Tienda de Café is a welcoming spot that infuses the city’s Latin roots into a vegan-friendly menu. Their vegan tamales and enchiladas receive high marks from both the Las Cruces Sun-News and Eater Southwest, offering bold, authentic flavors in a casual, art-filled setting. With fresh salsas, locally sourced ingredients, and rotating specials, Tienda de Café is a favorite for those craving plant-based versions of regional comfort food. The staff’s passion for sustainable cooking and community engagement shines through in every dish.
Came in here for lunch and ordered a full size chipotle chicken panini. It was more than enough to fill me up, they were also flexible with deli meat substitutions which I appreciated. My coworker ordered a breakfast sandwich, a pastry, and a coffee and enjoyed it all. It has a college town vibe and I appreciated how quiet and chill it was. Would definitely recommend!

I don’t know if the young lady behind the bar was having an off day. We weren’t offered a size for our latte. She auto charged us a large which tasted like pure milk. We had to purchase an extra shot which still did not fix the taste. I kindly asked for the drink to be remade to which she scoffed. I shouldn’t be forced to pay for a drink you messed up. I even tried fixing it by purchasing and extra shot. Sadly we ordered food too. The feeling was awkward after the baristas rolled eyes and scoffs about the drink. To add insult to injury, my breakfast sandwich was burnt. I kindly asked for the sandwich to be remade. More scoffs. The sandwich was remade and was not burnt but now the opposite, the egg was cold. The remake of our latte was good. We really wanted to like this place but not to be treated this way. We tipped 18% too. Darn.

All the staff couldn’t stop touching their phones every 5 minutes. Was served a burnt sandwich probably because she was sitting around on her phone which already is pretty gross as I didn’t see her wear gloves or wash her hands.

Very cute and neat place run by college students, evidently. It was worth the brief stalking for parking. Reasonably priced

My favorite coffe place. It's so cozy and the drinks and great. I always get a different drink and it never disappoints. But the white chocolate pistacho is my fave. The breakfast croissants are amazing.
The place has free wifi and charging spots to work. The bathroom is nice and clean.
The baristas are always nice and have good recommendations. Great spot to come alone or with friends.

A little local gathering spot, they have some really amazing drinks and baked goods. And it seems they support local artisans by carrying their products for sale (jewelry, gift items, totes etc). There's always parking behind the shop if the front is too busy.

I went into mom‘s coffee to get a scone and I would like to get it heated up. I paid and sat down and 15 minutes later they forgot about me and they pulled out the scone out of the toaster oven and it was completely burnt and they still handed it to me, I know mistakes can happen but at least one up to your mistakes and reheat another one.

I was only there for a cup of coffee. This is a nice, clean, small facility. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. It's hidden in a plaza across from NMSU.
