I don't really go to cafes however I took my friend to Plateau Espresso and we both got frappes and strawberry danishes and the frappe was absolutely delicious I finished it before I realized it and wanted another it was absolutely worth the price also the Danish was delectable it was flaky but not dry had the best strawberry flavor and left me wanting more as well. We took our items outside and despite the chill in the air the view was beautiful and they also had another area that we went to to get a better panorama view. I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone also the sweet girl that served us I feel horrible because I didn't catch her name (I wasn't paying attention) however she was polite and had our order out so quickly I wasn't sure if it could actually be ours. In summary this place is absolutely a hidden gem and I gave them 5 stars because they deserve it and I will be going back when I want that frappe fix honestly McDonald's and Starbucks are now my last resorts when it comes to frappes because they can't beat Plateau Espresso I said what I said

Great place to stop and enjoy a beverage of choice - coffee for my husband and tea for me. We love the spacious, quirky decor, and friendly staff. Comfortable tables for those who are looking for a good spot to work a bit (we saw several people on their laptops).

I enjoyed a nice lunch with an Italian panini, chips and a drink for lunch. I think they might have been a little understaffed, but the customer service and the food was great.

The espresso was delicious and customer service great, but it was the view that makes this 5 stars. What a gorgeous one this place has! Everything was clean inside, the decor is cute, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Try the banana nut muffin

5/5 - This is one of the best coffee shops in Alamogordo, unique location, friendly staff, well curated menu list. We stopped by to have some coffee and sandwich, and their panini tasted great. The ambiance is excellent. They have an old telephone booth and great vintage items in the cafe. Spacious, they have inside and outdoor seating.

Great coffee shop where we were warmly welcomed. They have tons of flavored syrups, even many sugar free options which is unusual. Super nice large shaded patio with views of White Sands and the mountains in the distance.
