I was about halfway through my very tardy "Sixth Annual First Quarter Odyssey: 1-country/2-states, 09-23APR2023", and had just had a superb overnight at the outstanding High Country Lodge. I spent most of the previous day cycling East from amazing Quemada on US60, so a refreshing/regenerating overnight was essential. Obviously, I needed an equally refreshing/energizing start and this cafe--now named "Evetts" (formerly Espresso)--was the absolutely the BEST place to start! Besides unique/fresh/nutritious meals, I was almost shocked and delighted to learn that affogato was available. When biketouring/travelling, this is one of the greatest morning treats I've ever had--not only plenty of needed caffeine, and (¡probably unneeded!) sugar. I enjoyed other filling dishes before continuing my Eastern direction on US60 to SocorroNM. I didn't cycle away immediately--Magdalena is such an attractive/"unknown/undiscovered" community in which the history lives on with the structures restored/repurposed! The abandoned tracks have a great roadbed waiting for more full development/hiking-biking trail for use by locals and long-distance enthusiasts alike. ¡This is such a tremendous community, and I look forward to returning--I'll plan to stay at least TWO nights for a full experience! It definitely has my coveted "iWheel of Approval!" ¡Highly recommended'

After checking out the Very Large Array, you'll head back the same way you came through the tiny town of Magdalena. I recommend a quick stop to peruse the coffee drinks, chai tea, Italian sodas and lemon sodas at Espresso. It's a gem of a spot and is a cafe and type print shop all in one. It's like I'm back in West Hollywood!

This place is a gem! Coffee, art, prints, and a charming owner that is more than willing to tell you all about the building while making the most delicious cup of coffee. I cannot wait to come back.

I stopped in here while exploring the area on the way to the very large array. It's a gem of a spot and the owner Glenn is as nice as can be. It's a cool place to check out and grab a coffee. Glenn was happy to show me around his studio and tell me about his work as a photographer. There's wood type printing machines and letter presses that are really cool. Neat and unassuming. I'll definitely come back.

I was driving through New Mexico on a road trip and was looking for a coffee. Like a oasis in the desert this place appeared. Great coffee and nice building. Really an unexpected gem.

Loved the cozy, warm local vibe here. I had the very tasty green Chile stew that can be eaten with a fork. Hubby got the brisket sandwich and loved it. Chocolate shake to go and jumped back on the road.
