Reviews Summary
Manzanita Market is a beloved community cafe praised for its fresh, organic, and locally sourced ingredients, offering a delightful farm-to-table experience. Diners rave about the cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and the extensive gluten-free options, particularly the blue corn bread. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one diner found the cappuccino overpriced and not up to par with expectations.
"This is one of my fav lunch spots in Taos. The atmosphere is cute and cozy, the food is simple, straightforward, and always delicious. As someone who is GF, they have GF bread for all sandwiches (shoutout to the blue corn sliced bread!!) which is incredible. You also can purchase local goods and art. A great all around stop no matter the season!"

"Fresh flowers. Gluten-free options. Don’t be afraid of the line. They work quickly. They make their own bone broth. Fresh salads. Amazing gluten free bread and sourdough. They even have a blue corn bread. Salads, sandwiches, soups and bowls. A nice break from all the cheese I have been eating ay other places;). Fresh. Delicious. We went two times while in Taos. It’s the way I would like to eat every day of my life."

It’s a great spot for grabbing an Americano on your way up to the Ski Valley or just for wandering around downtown; I did the latter until I was ready for a meal at nearby Manzanita Market. Instagrammable and dog friendly, Manzanita hits a note that few businesses in tourist towns manage to, making locals feel welcome while seducing visitors. And no wonder—it’s a spin-off of the local fine dining fave The Love Apple.
