Huevos rancheros and burritos smothered with spicy salsa top the list in this friendly, simply furnished New Mexican diner that's been around since the 1950s and is a great bet for hearty breakfasts and lunches. You can also pick up cookies, doughnuts, and pastries from the on-site bakery or a stack of freshly made corn tortillas from the tortilleria.
Seasoned hippies, youthful hipsters, and everyone in between congregate at Java Junction for lattes, chai, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, bagels, pastries, and other treats. You can also pick up a number of house-made gourmet goods, from hot sauces to jalapeño-raspberry preserves. Upstairs there's a pleasantly decorated suite available for overnight stays.
Much of the seasonal produce, baked goods, and other ingredients used in this cheerful market-café's breakfast burritos, chilaquiles, and tacos are grown or made on-site (there's both a nursery and a bakery) or sourced from area farms and ranches. The market is stocked with interesting cheeses, crackers, jams, juices, chocolates, and other tasty snacks, making this an ideal place to stop before hiking.
