Sacred Grounds Coffee - Ruidoso

This place is the best place in town to get a handcrafted cocktail. When you enter, you have the front of the house that is more about coffee and tea when you pass at the back of the building, there is a small bar and many great seating areas. There is a fireplace in the middle of a section with chairs around him, then there is a large room with a stage that they have live music on weekends. There are garage doors that open them in summer, which make the inner flow into the outside, which overlooks the river back. There are a variety of decks you can go and relax and enjoy nature. Your menu was pretty simple, but well done. They are in the middle of the roasting their kitchen so that the menu has shrunk a lot, but their pizza is on point. The bartender Josh makes amazing cocktails with spirits made in the house.

My family and I visited Monday and our experience was ALMOST perfect! GREAT atmosphere! Absolutely delicious coffee, breakfast croissants and pastries. We unfortunately experienced a small Hiccup with service while we visited what is the reason for 4 out of 5 stars. We ordered 3 cinnamon rolls on arrival in addition to our coffee and croissants and then drove to our table to wait for a text that was confirmed our order was ready. When we got the text, we got our 2 croissants and none of our pastries. I warned the cashier who took our order and went on to hand over 2 cold cinnamon rolls and recommended that they were made of cinnamon rolls and that we could get something else (maybe done with toddlers). Then we had to ask them to warm our pastries. We advised there were 3 cinnamon rolls when we ordered and she was totally unapologetic. We loved it so much that we visit again and hope for a better customer service experience.

The matcha here is absolutely amazing—so delicious! The turkey sandwich was also quite good. The young woman at the counter was really friendly and welcoming. I definitely plan to return, but next time I'll bring a group with me. Thank you all for the fantastic service!

I had a wonderful time at Sacred Grounds during my visit to Ruidoso for the Christmas season. The interior is amazing, featuring delicious food, coffee, and a full bar. However, it's the exterior that truly captures the atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Finally, a café that gets it right! There are plenty of seating options both inside and outside, and a lovely multi-level deck along the river. The customer service is excellent, and the service is quick. I've visited many places from coast to coast, and this one ranks in the top 10%. Great job!
