Located in an airy 1915 bungalow on East Marcy St., just steps from the historic Plaza, LA MAMA is Santa Fe’s favorite cafe/restaurant open everyday for food, groceries, and take-out, plus a daily happy hour with natural wine, local beer and specialty cocktails. LA MAMA is open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch counter service and table service at dinner six nights of the week. LA MAMA’s lovingly-rendered, light-filled space features a cozy mezzanine, a charming covered front porch, and a quaint backyard patio. Opened in May 2022, we are one of the first and only spots in Santa Fe to offer an exclusive selection of natural wines, offered by the glass and bottle.

The menu, inspired by the three founders' travels, includes local and seasonal ingredients with breakfast and lunch staples, baked goods, like our near-famous pecan butter chocolate chip cookie and nosh fare such as house-made seeded lavash crackers and chicken liver pate. Proud Mary Coffee is pulled on the La Marzocca and we serve teas from local New Mexican vendors Loam and tea-o-graphy. Alongside our much-loved house dressings, granola and hummus, we sell specialty groceries like imported conservas, award-winning chocolate, national and international cheeses, artisan olive oils, and gourmet pastas. The dinner menu offers colorful and diverse Mediterranean fare which changes with the seasons’ produce. 

Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of local growers and craftspeople, LA MAMA plans to host our community for special tastings, chef dinners, classes and pop ups. We also offer catering and rent our spaces for private dinners and events. And we gladly take dinner reservations!

LA MAMA is a distinctive business dedicated to community, quality goods and sustainability. The team looks forward to seeing and sharing their vision with all who wander over from the plaza, seek them out, or make LA MAMA a part of their daily routine.
