My friend and I love making trips to the outlet malls in Santa Fe, and Sweet Santa Fe is always a delightful stop! We usually take a charming little trail that leads right to the mall in the mornings, which adds a peaceful touch to our visit. The view of the mall is lovely, and it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the surroundings. It's a bit of a bummer to see so many empty storefronts though—it feels like a missed opportunity to bring more energy to the area.
That said, the small café is a real gem. For anyone who’s a “coffee first” type, it’s the perfect little escape. The coffee is always spot-on, and the food is definitely worth mentioning. The charcuterie board is beautifully put together with a nice variety of flavors, and their sandwiches are always fresh and satisfying. On sunny Santa Fe days, the ice cream is just the cherry on top—cool, refreshing, and a great treat to round out the visit.
When it comes to the staff, the service is quick and friendly, but it’s not the kind of experience that leaves you telling all your friends. The owner can be a little pushy about getting your order in and out, and it’s rare to see the same face twice, as most of the staff are new. Still, they keep things moving, and the atmosphere is casual and easygoing.
All in all, while there’s room for a little polish, the café, the trail leading there, and the tasty food still make it a lovely spot to visit. Perfect for a morning getaway or a sunny afternoon treat!
