Taste buds with indecisive tendencies might find the satisfaction they crave at Counter Culture. While the café specializes in brunch, choosy diners select from a wall-sized menu (literally) stacked with eclectic salads, sandwiches, French toast and pancakes, all fresh and generously portioned. The sandwich combo, which comes with a side salad and a cup of soup, is a slamming deal (we recommend the Thai chicken tom yum soup), leaving enough change in your pocket for that slice of chocolate cake you won't be able to resist. The casual atmosphere, quick service and quality food make Counter Culture a Santa Fe staple. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Gelato is a gift from the gods. These flavors are fantastic (try the tiramisu), the texture is soothing and it's lower in fat than ice cream. Stop by Ecco for a tasty frozen treat, a fresh deli sandwich and a European-style café experience. Open until 11 p.m. on weekends--a godsend for latenight munchers in the area!

Winner of Best Casual Dining, Best Veggie Burger, Best Toast, Best Healthy Breakfast and Best Desserts in our 2008 restaurant poll. Sure, you go in thinking you’ll be good and get a skinny latte, scrambled egg whites and a side of turkey and green chile sausage, but five minutes later somebody’s saying “eclair” and the voice is coming from your mouth. But, boy, do they taste good. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)
