Spirit Winds Cafe and Gift Shop

I understand there are new owners and it is taking time for regulars to adjust, but I say give them a chance before judging them. So it looks totally different, oh well, let’s adjust and accept them. I really enjoy the food here, and the service is friendly. They bake their own sweets and make their own soups :) try the Emma pesto sandwich, it’s tasty!

I've been coming here for years for the blueberry muffins! I would definitely recommend this place and encourage everyone to support local businesses!

Great coffee, great food, great gifts. This is a must visit place to anyone staying or passing through. The customer service is great, and the prices are reasonable. Come back to this place regularly as their selection of gifts is produced by local artists, and the selection changes regularly. I've walked in for a sandwhich many times, and left with a trinket I never thought I needed before.

Keep up the great work guys.

Full disclosure after my first visit back into town, and seeing the updates, I applied for a job.
Because I love the space, the team and the look. The coffee bar food i like more than ever. It definitely is very different, that can't be denied. Still, I appreciate the aesthetic of the update, the book selection and the addition of handloom cotton and vintage.

This had been my FAVORITE gift shop and cafe for 15 years!!! Always great food and the best service! Today....rude, cold, unhelpful and was told they couldn’t help size a ring that I took in so that I could purchase a correct size!?!? What??? This is a jewelry store as well, correct?? I was just there a few weeks ago and the owner very graciously sized many rings for me. This young lady today not only said she couldn’t but she snarled her face and nose to me and was beyond rude! I had several items in my hand already and very kindly put them down and walked out. I own a business and would NEVER treat a client that way.

You have to spend a little time browsing the spiritual items, clothes, jewelry, crystals, sage, incense, kids stuff and the best greeting cards... this is more than a coffee shop - it's a treasure chest

The store is incredibly gorgeous on the inside! The menu is stacked with delicious options and the gift shop has super cool trinkets. I ate a raspberry lemon scone and have been daydreaming about it since.

Came here for the first time with some friends, the coffee was good, however, the items are slightly over priced. I croissant with sausage and cheese was 6.45$ and that’s the lowest price! The person taking our order wasn’t friendly either he looked irritated because we didn’t order quick. He got better at the end. The food was good but I just think it’s over priced, I wish they had some nmsu discount or something.

Boy, this is NOT the place I remember. NO bike racks anywhere! OK, they didn't have them before either, but still, in this area???All the cool stuff they had is gone! Now it's all students and hipsters, all the time. I'd rather have a coffee at McDonald's than here, and trust me, I don't like McDonald's at all. Sad to see what has happened to a once really neat place.

Disappointed with my latest experience here. For years I have enjoyed shopping here for unique gifts, but on my most recent visit the shop girl did not provide good customer service.

Bought a really cool non-returnable item but when I looked at the receipt after walking out I noticed she'd charged me 77 instead of 47 due to misreading the hand-written price sticker. Went right back in to get it corrected, but she wouldn't side with me, despite not having priced it herself or having a computer inventory of the price, so how would she know what the right price is? In the end she insisted that since the retail price on the product packaging says 90, the owner probably wouldn’t have marked it down that much. Probably! Again, she didn’t actually know. What happened to the customer always being right?

The shop has been upgraded recently and looks really nice, but I won’t be coming back here again unless they get a real inventory system.
