A culinary cornerstone of downtown Albuquerque's renaissance, this dapper storefront café with exposed-brick walls and high ceilings serves some of the tastiest breakfast fare in town, plus lunch and dinner entrées. In the morning, go with eggs Eleganza (two poached eggs atop a green-chile brioche with local goat cheese), along with a side of honey-red chile-glazed bacon. Later in the day, consider polenta-dusted tilapia with a sundried-tomato cream sauce, or seared-beef chopped salad with fried rice noodles and chile-lime vinaigrette. You can also just hang out among the hipsters and office workers, sipping a caramel latte and munching on one of the tasty desserts.
