Coyote Cafe & Rooftop Cantina

Known For
Rooftop cantina views of the Sangre de Cristos at golden hour
Coyote Cafe & Rooftop Cantina turns its garden vibes and instagrammable rooftop into one of Santa Fe's most atmospheric spots for a late afternoon drink. The bright and airy upper deck frames the Sangre de Cristos in a way that genuinely stops conversation.
🕐Best time to visit: An hour before sunset when the mountains do the heavy lifting
Our Take
Coyote Cafe's rooftop cantina turns a summer evening in Santa Fe into something you'll reference for years — the open-air patio above Canyon Road with the Sangre de Cristos in the distance is a legitimately special setting. It's a solid charming spot where the atmosphere carries significant weight, and a lingering lunch on that patio is well worth the detour.
