Joe Maxx Coffee Co.

Joe Maxx Coffee is a small chain out of Ohio, but you’d be forgiven for assuming that the spot squarely in the middle of the Art District on Santa Fe is a local. From the swaths of exposed brick and funky, flowing artwork to kombucha on tap to the all-vegetarian (and mostly vegan) menu of […]

Johnson’s Corner

In the more than fifty years that Johnson’s Corner has been in business, it’s collected accolades of a variety that most restaurants don’t even dream about.

That makes it a great place for a birthday party, and parents will appreciate its convenient location […]

The Tiffany-blue interior of this tiny Highland spot is as soothing to the eyes as the menu is to diners who are trying to avoid grains. From paleo devotees to celiac sufferers, owner Jennifer Peters offers support with her gluten-free, grain-free kitchen that turns out tasty food no matter what diet you’re following. Roasted veggies, […]
