Great local place to get coffee! Coffee and cinnamon rolls are both delicious. Atmosphere is friendly with a nice gift shop. There is a table time limit, but overall a nice place to enjoy a coffee.

Extremely rude service. Came here with a co-worker for coffee, after I ordered I then waited in line with my co-worker as she ordered. The man behind the counter looked at me shouted that my drink was ready at the counter. Ok? I’m still waiting for my co-worker to order it’s a coffee shop what’s the rush? We sat outside, there were about two other groups of people sitting on the tables outside as well, at about 5:50 the same man from behind the counter came outside to only our table and said “we close at 6” we felt entirely unwelcome, was it really necessary to only tell me and my co-worker this but no one else? We were just trying to enjoy our time at this beautiful shop, as it was our first and will be our last time here. Would not recommend as the scone that my co-worker ordered was stale and moldy. Disgusting service and food.

This place is amazing. From service to food to ambiance. This is my new favorite spot. Hands down. Also, that cinnamon roll is life. And the latte was everything. Love it so much!!

It was $11 for an iced coffee and an egg and cheese bagel. Not cheap but it is a small business so they need to make money. I am just a broke person so $11 is a lot. The bagel is really small but it tasted good. I went here thinking there would be more options for breakfast; they only have like two options, I think it was bagels and oatmeal. The iced coffee was pretty tasty though! It wasn’t watered down and they put enough flavor so it lasts through the whole drink. I didn’t buy anything from the gift shop but there were some cute items.

Daniel was so nice and helpful. He made my shopping experience quite delightful.

Go there with an open mind and maybe enjoy the lovely nmsu plants and succulents and other things that they bring.

I met a girlfriend for iced coffe that was delicious here. It was my first visit and I will definitely return. They have a wonderful gift store and coffe shop! There is a unique plant section with some amazing cactus.

Worst bagel ever. Pretty sure it was microwaved. Also too expensive. Haven’t been here for a year. Won’t come back.

Unfortunately this is not the spirit winds it was when I first moved here. I used to love their pesto and meat pinini. Due to corona they only have three available (which is fine). I got the turkey panini and it was just okay but not bad for the price. They used to have a wonderful pesto pasta salad and now its chips and salsa on the side. The chips I got were stale and salty and they only provided a small cup of salsa that covered maybe 1/4 of the chips they provide. I really miss the old spirit winds I used to truly enjoy their food they provided. But now it has changed and it really is not good. I do not know about other stuff on menu but I think my time purchasing panini meals at spirit winds is up :/. It is such a shame because I used to enjoy it so so much. I also got a mexican hot cocoa and it was wonderful! I would purchase that again. The server was kind and and had food and drink made in 5 minutes. Good service!

Cute place! Italian soda is great

Nice little spot. Good latte with available almond milk. Breakfast sandwich was a little bland but serviceable. Generous seating and friendly local folks.

I just called and apparently they don’t do phone orders because only one person is working. I fail to see how this would affect anything. Terrible customer service.

Local cafe that offers coffee, drinks and food mostly homemade. Healthy options and they have Vegan Thursdays! Woo!

Sure not as nice as it once was. Maybe itll be better after the restrictions are lifted more.

Great vibe, delicious coffee, and sweet people.

I meant to take lots of pictures, as it is very picture-worthy, but I was completely captivated and never thought to take my phone out.The pastries are DELICIOUS and baked fresh on the premises each morning. We got the triberry scone w lemon glaze and a cinnamon roll. YUM! There is a nice selection of beverages, both hot and cold. My latte was tasty and not bitter, which pleased me. Im not a Starbucks fan...The place itself is colorful, comfortable and adorable, with both inside and outside seating. The staff is helpful and attentive.There is a shop attached with SO much beautiful handmade jewelry and other art, well as humorous knick knacks.Plan to spend time. You wont be disappointed.

Stumbled across this place while looking for a local coffee shop while in town for the weekend. We were not disappointed! OMG the Spirit Latte was amazing! (Their signature drink). Definitely try it if you want something different.The ambience of the whole place is fun and quirky, and the gifts area is curated extremely well. Most of the time a shop like this is a huge fail... but they nailed it with some really unique goods and very unique cards and other stuff.If I lived in town I am pretty sure I would come here all the time - and for the right friend I would be able to get the perfect bday gift in a matter of minutes.

Great coffee selection. Not the cheapest but for sure better and more natural than Starbucks.Reaaaaaly comfy

Its beautiful

They purchased a bunch of cards and pins from us and never paid us. They stole $700 worth of goods from a small business. We tried calling them over a dozen times and had the same reply. “Our manager in charge of paying is not here, please call back”. Lies and thieves. Please never shop here if you support small businesses.

Only customers in the store and we were followed and starred at the whole time. Was very uncomfortable, left. We only bought coffee!

This little coffee and gift shop was once the home to an array of unique gifts and great-tasting pastries. It is now a somewhat trendy, Santa Fe inspired, posh shop/ cafe. I understand new owners= new visions. I think as long as theyre still named Spirit Winds theyll be constantly compared to it. In the end, its a very nice and classy store its just very far from what we once knew. Go there with an open mind and perhaps enjoy the lovely succulents and plants from nmsu and other things they carry.

Apparently they dont close at 7pm, they close earlier on Fridays.

Classy and trendy. Place to shop for fine crafted jewelry.

Use to be one of my favorite spots.... to find unique gifts, such as jewelry and grab a cup of coffee. Went in the other day since it got bought by new owners. What a disappointment! The vibe in there is not the same. The place is blah with a southwestern chic to it. The inventory they have wasn’t even local... New Mexican like owners said it would be. More of a coffee/study place for college students. I will definitely miss the “SPIRIT” uniqueness of the vibrant colors, great customer service and all there unique gifts of the old Spirit Winds. Very sad to see this place I will not be going back.Good luck!

This had been my favorite place for unique gifts that you could not find anywhere else. It was a welcoming atmosphere and now it is cold and primarily jewelry and womens clothing. Not to mention the change to the cafe. No longer a fan. Quite disappointing actually. So sad to see the change in ownership also changed the vision. The name should have been changed so I wouldnt have been so misled that the shop and cafe were still wonderful.

Boy, this is NOT the place I remember. NO bike racks anywhere! OK, they didnt have them before either, but still, in this area???All the cool stuff they had is gone! Now its all students and hipsters, all the time. Id rather have a coffee at McDonalds than here, and trust me, I dont like McDonalds at all. Sad to see what has happened to a once really neat place.

LOVE this place. They have good food (the black bean burger is my favorite), lots of tea options, and good coffee. They also have many many different syrups you can add to your lattes, so try a different flavor every time. It is also dog friendly in the outdoor seating area, and the indoor shop is great. They have tons of great gift items such as jewelry, clothes, bags, and art. I have two pieces of art from them in my house as well as some beautiful earrings.

Nice atmosphere but my latte was a bit bitter tasting and very expensive. The cost is $5 for a plain latte!

Amazing gift shop, and great place to get coffee and hang out.

Dont let their rating fool you. They are piggybacking off of the great reviews the shop got with the old owners. The staff members arent knowledgeable, helpful, or honest. I would not recommend going here.

Very sad to see that this is not the same place it use to be. I remember how it was one my favorite places in town to find items you could not find anywhere in town. I miss it. when I walked in I felt uncomfortable. not a welcoming atmosphere. The young dark haired girl on shop side was nice but made me feel uncomfortable because she kept watching me. she made me feel like I was doing something wrong. Not sure if they have had theft there but thats how it felt like she was thinking I am going to steal something. I mean I know I am not rich looking and she does not know me. But you do not have to make people feel badly. 0h well sad to see this place like that.

This used to be my absolute favorite spot in town. I could always come here for cool gifts, knickknacks, and all my coffee needs. The bright colors, political jokes, and amazing menu were what made this place so welcoming. Now it has lost all of its charm. It is bland, characterless, and just like any other “hipster coffeehouse”. I’m completely and utterly disappointed and will being taking business elsewhere.

I’ve been going to spirit winds since I was 8 years old and I’ve always truly loved it whether it be to look around for a great gift, drink some coffee, or spend time with family. What’s really upsetting is that Spirit Winds has lost its SPIRIT. It’s completely different while the new chairs and tables are very nice the whole essence of Spirit Winds has changed to a college tourist shop...

Amazing shop and great cafe. Beautiful business that deserves support in these trying times.

Disappointed with my latest experience here. For years I have enjoyed shopping here for unique gifts, but on my most recent visit the shop girl did not provide good customer service.Bought a really cool non-returnable item but when I looked at the receipt after walking out I noticed shed charged me 77 instead of 47 due to misreading the hand-written price sticker. Went right back in to get it corrected, but she wouldnt side with me, despite not having priced it herself or having a computer inventory of the price, so how would she know what the right price is? In the end she insisted that since the retail price on the product packaging says 90, the owner probably wouldn’t have marked it down that much. Probably! Again, she didn’t actually know. What happened to the customer always being right?The shop has been upgraded recently and looks really nice, but I won’t be coming back here again unless they get a real inventory system.

So sad....the new Spirit Winds is totally disappointing...I have been a patron for 20+ years and Spirit Winds was a top priority for stops in Las Cruces for my whole family, myself and my children ages 15 and 11 (they frequently told me before that it was their favorite place on the planet and would beg to go there)...last time we walked in...we just stood there, shocked at the vast changes that have ruined our perfect vision of Spirit Winds. We decided to give it a try and were further saddened by the gift selection, food and drinks...heartbreaking... definitely not what it used to be...my kids insisted that we never go back and my daughter (11) cried driving away at the loss of what used to be her favorite place on this planet! So sad and disappointing! 😭

Full disclosure after my first visit back into town, and seeing the updates, I applied for a job.Because I love the space, the team and the look. The coffee bar food i like more than ever. It definitely is very different, that cant be denied. Still, I appreciate the aesthetic of the update, the book selection and the addition of handloom cotton and vintage.

Good coffee and different items to be looked at...check it out

This had been my FAVORITE gift shop and cafe for 15 years!!! Always great food and the best service! Today....rude, cold, unhelpful and was told they couldn’t help size a ring that I took in so that I could purchase a correct size!?!? What??? This is a jewelry store as well, correct?? I was just there a few weeks ago and the owner very graciously sized many rings for me. This young lady today not only said she couldn’t but she snarled her face and nose to me and was beyond rude! I had several items in my hand already and very kindly put them down and walked out. I own a business and would NEVER treat a client that way.

I understand there are new owners and it is taking time for regulars to adjust, but I say give them a chance before judging them. So it looks totally different, oh well, let’s adjust and accept them. I really enjoy the food here, and the service is friendly. They bake their own sweets and make their own soups :) try the Emma pesto sandwich, it’s tasty!

What a gem of a find! Very friendly staff! Good chi lattes and the biggest moist muffins: mango was soooooo good. The establishment also has a connected gift shop with beautiful discoveries. A must go to for a chill and relaxed coffee break. They have not seen the last of me!

There muffins are great!!

Fantastic coffee and wonderful staff! So helpful and friendly. Love love love everything they carry and serve, got a beautiful turquoise ring here amongst other treasures and Lance was so knowledgeable and patient. Such a wonderful place to sip on your coffee and browse local art!

I used to go to this place weekly several years ago and I loved it. Many unique gifts and the coffee and food were excellent. Those days are gone! The place is totally mediocre. Very disappointed.

Coffee is good. I havent eaten here. Gift shop always has cool unique gifts and greeting cards. Would recommend.

Liked it better years ago. Not much to buy there. Prices are high.

I have to wonder a little about what exactly this place has to offer. Its small and quaint, and well maintained, but its doesnt stand out the way I was expecting it to before I went in the first time. The food and drink offerings are pretty standard and can be found all over town. More than half the place is taken up by a store that sells kitschy type things that you can buy online for a third the cost.I understand why some people like this place, and hope they continue to do well, we all need to support our local businesses, but its not really for me. Thats why I went 3 stars, I dont want to put the place on blast when they didnt do anything wrong, but like I said, Ill stop by there for a quick drink or to meet a colleague, but its not high up on my list.

Unique coffee shop that’s half cafe half gift shop. Visited for the first time a few months ago and they since redid the place, for the better in my opinion. Great coffee and sandwiches, as well as a gift shop with great local gifts

Have always loved this place. Walked in and for the first time in 15 yrs that Ive been going, the shop looked sad and sorry. If the shop is undergoing renovations, there should be some kind of sign so its not such a shock. Hope things get better!!

A gem of the borderplex! Great coffee and teas at reasonable prices, plus an artisinal menu that includes vegetarian dishes. The black bean burger here is fantastic and highly recommended. The adjacent gift shop is wonderfully curated too. An extensive selection of handmade jewelry, crystals, cookbooks, incense, perfumes, clothing, and more. Great stuff for folks of all ages; theres even a kids section! Easily the most hipster shop in the area. And I mean that in the best way.

Spirit Winds is a pet friendly place that has probably the best coffee in Southern New Mexico! Their food is delightful and fills a wide range of tastes and their staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Not to mention their very cool attached shopping area; MOST unique array of gifts from the very simple to the very odd! (But in a good way.) I highly recommend it as the best alternative to the chain coffee houses.

This is a cozy friendly place to grab a bite and a drink. The gift store is well priced with many things to choose from.

Amazing gift shop. Delicious coffee. And the best black bean burger I have ever had! (Im not vegetarian/vegan and still would take this burger over most normal ones)!!! 😍😋

Liked the tuna wrap. Very tasty homemade tasting ranch dressing for salad

The store is incredibly gorgeous on the inside! The menu is stacked with delicious options and the gift shop has super cool trinkets. I ate a raspberry lemon scone and have been daydreaming about it since.

Under new ownership, renovations continue. Relaxing color scheme, uncluttered and spacious. Tables for 4 and a large community table that could easily seat 10-12.Friendly staff. Still serves good coffee and yummy pastries.

Amazing food and coffe friendly staff and the environment is peaceful and calm . Beautiful jewelry by local artists and hand made clothing and wonderful gift ideas decorate this lovely coffee shop. Highly recommend this place 👍

Great local coffee shop and gift store ❤️

Cool coffee spot/ cafe. Recently renovated for even better hangout/ meeting atmosphere.

Had been quite some time since I had visited. The outdoor seating is awesome and the atmosphere is great! Prices are a bit high but worth every penny.

Great coffee and quick food but the shop is the best part. Cute unique items you cant find many other places in Las Cruces. Nice place to buy gifts.

I always find the most interesting things here. The coffee is so fresh and yummy. Very helpful staff.

Traveled here on a road trip between Texas and Arizona at the recommendation of an Albuquerque native. Arrived early, before the crowds that ostensibly appear regularly and loyally. The coffee was good. The scone, cornbread something I had (with a few chilis) was so good I had a second. Eclectic decor and building facade made better by the friendly staff....all one of her. The weather on the patio was also perfect. One visit and Im sure Ill be nostalgic about it from now on. Point of fact, I plan a stop in a week on another road trip.

Such eclectic little coffee shop/gift store. They have some hilarious gifts and local items in the gift store. The coffee is also fantastic, and the staff was very nice. There are some tables for doing work or meeting someone, including outside.

Neat stuff very original good quality didint get to try coffee shop but will be back

Nice space, delicious chai latté. Best I have had in town. Great place to read or work on computer or meet with a friend!

Have been here twice within the past few months and the food has been pretty bad. Sandwiches burned both times, and one half of the sandwich had no meat in it. Always loved this place, but it seems like the new owners have let the standards go.Definitely not worth eating here anymore.

Great coffee, great food, great gifts. This is a must visit place to anyone staying or passing through. The customer service is great, and the prices are reasonable. Come back to this place regularly as their selection of gifts is produced by local artists, and the selection changes regularly. Ive walked in for a sandwhich many times, and left with a trinket I never thought I needed before.Keep up the great work guys.

I dont like the new set up it killed the whole vibe thag j like of the old spirit winds

The spicy black bean burger is amazing. Wonderful staff. Keep up the good work!

Had lunch there yesterday but was not impressed with the new menu. Order a hot pastrami sandwich which had too much dijon mustard & the meat was tough. Wont be going back, sorry.

Came here for the first time with some friends, the coffee was good, however, the items are slightly over priced. I croissant with sausage and cheese was 6.45$ and that’s the lowest price! The person taking our order wasn’t friendly either he looked irritated because we didn’t order quick. He got better at the end. The food was good but I just think it’s over priced, I wish they had some nmsu discount or something.

What can you say outside of this being a great hole in the wall type place. Obviously popular with locals, offer coffee, food, snacks, and trinkets by local artist for sale. Eclectic variety to appease anyone that comes in.

Great shopping experience. Unique and great service!

Hate the update. They took a lively and weird coffee shop that had heart and soul and turned it into a lifeless southwestern tourist spot. Its a totally different shop now and in my opinion that change was for the worse. I will miss the old shop and probably will not return to this 2.0 version.

Wow things have really changed here and not to my liking. Gone is the funky cool atmosphere, welcome to pricey and cold. My panini couldnt fill a small child much less an adult. It was less than half the size it used to be for the same price. The retail part is down 80% as well. There just isnt much to choose from. Sad to see this as I loved the old place

Amazing local spot with quaint dining environment any plenty of outside seating.Gift shop is exceptional with unique options and local flair. Staff is super responsive to the needs to patrons and the owner is most always hanging around working the shop. 5 star spot for both locals and visitors alike!

Great cappuccino and very friendly service. Nice outdoor patio or sit inside. Country ish feeling in the city. Excellent and well stocked gift shop with fair prices. I loved it here.

Wow, interesting to experience such rude, dismissive service and then get a cup of cold coffee. Not impressed.

Great coffee and baked goods. Unique store with great items and gifts to buy.

The quality of the product is still good. Normally I do not give bad reviews, but a young lady wearing clear frame glasses was so rude. She didnt smile or act like she wanted to be here, and she lacked basic human interation skills. I have always met amazing employees at Spirit Winds which made the visits enjoyable and felt like you belonged. This gal did the exact opposite. This experience makes me not want to revisit because I do not need to get treated poorly.

Great people fast service good coffee.

I totally love this place! Great environment and people!! Never mind ALL the amazing stuff!!

What happened? They used to have really cute tchotchkes and not-too-spendy jewelry and cool things, but now its just super high-dollar items like $80 blouses and other boutique stuff. I miss the old Spirit Winds.

Love this place! Great coffee, yummy eats, and the best unique gifts in town. Great atmosphere, and staff is super friendly. I spend hours in here when I visit home.

Large gift shop in the other half of the shop. The cafe had great options for coffee and specialty drinks, alt. milk creamers, good variety of snacks and dishes. Good experience.

Good coffee, friendly barista, nice place to sit and relax. The gift shop always has some oddity for that one person who likes nothing normal. Eclectic place with a good vibe.

I liked the atmosphere better originally cute and chaotic like a coffee shop should be

Great food coffee and vibes!

They remodeled so it has a little bit more of a modern look to it. Coffees still good.

Very lovely atmosphere. And great customer service 😍

Adorable café style shop. They have vegan options and cute little trinkets for sale. I would recommend this place for anyone visiting Las Cruces👍😊

This is a great little place I went to when I lived in LC. Loved to hang out and chill and meet new peeps.

If you are looking for a unique gift, look around in here. When you are finished looking, you can have a chai and a black bean burger. Both are great.

Always a fun time going to Spirit Winds. They make fantastic beverages, and the environment is really lovely!

Very good service, good healthy food, nice gift shop. Overall a good experience & worth coming back for. The only thing Id change is that there is only one size for iced tea & its what I call their sample size. Otherwise a good experience.

I just love this place!! Whenever I come to Las Cruses, its always on my list of places to go. Great food and coffee.... and shopping!!

Wife loves the variety of items they sale, she mention if I ever needed to purchase a gift for her stop here, and we dont like coffee

I’m giving this pace 4 stars because for where it’s located it was pretty decent. But please understand that I am the ULTIMATE coffee snob (I strongly dislike Starbucks and flavored drinks) and that as far as coffee I was barely satisfied hehe.
