Super sweet guy and quick service . The shop is small but really cool and unique to Santa fe. Definitely come support this business before he is forced to close in 2022 due to hotel construction.

We discovered this place when we were about to leave town. Great spot to grab on the go breakfast. In my opinion, their caramel macchiato is better than Starbucks.

This place is great! Tucked away near the plaza and tiny but the best iced chai Ive had in Santa Fe.

Great little hole-in-the-wall place. Bill is such a fun person to talk to! His shop reminds me of a kiosk in New York City. Google maps doesn’t quite get you there - you need to go all the way to the corner of the street and you’ll see the place. Four star rating for coffee - oat capuccino was just ok - the foam melted away quickly and the espresso didn’t have a particularly tasty flavor.

Italian dark roast beans. Good barista. The space is a total of 10x6 ft. Great place to grab a cup of coffee to go and explore the town. The space used to be the lobby of a hotel, so there’s an elevator shaft making up the left wall of the shop.

This place was hard to find, but it was sure worth it! It’s tucked in amongst the other shops along the street in a quite convenient location, if you’re staying at a hotel nearby. This little place has great personality and the barista is so friendly and conversational. We stopped here at least three times during my visit to NM. Definitely worth the search!

My husband had an Americano and I had a Cappuccino. This was such tasty coffee! Watching him craft the drinks, we all felt like he was pouring positive energy with every maneuver. He was so personable and his coffee was so good. We will definitely be back.

The espresso drinks are lovely, far better than youd find at any large Seattle based chain.But the real opportunity here is to meet and chat with Bill. Hes delightful, funny with a very interesting shop.Theres no seating at Holy Spirit, just a table outside, so dont expect to pop open your laptop and work. But dont miss the opportunity to grab a cup of good coffee and wander historic downtown Santa Fe. You wont regret it.

Quirky little place tucked away between some other shops in the area. Great coffee and an excellent place to stop. Traveling from Nebraska and will stop by again when were back!!

Bill is the best Barista in Santa Fe and his little coffee shop is one of our towns most valuable hidden gems. I always love going here and the espresso is 👌👌

Review №28

Me and my wife ordered mocha lattes. Amazing! Best blend of esspresso and flavor. Hot or ice only from what i could tell, no frozen. No inside sitting room. But as you wait there is plenty to look at. Would highly recommend this place over some chain Seattle company.

Review №29

Oh man this is the best coffee in Santa Fe, if not the entire state. Super hole-in-the-wall so look close or youll miss it but so worth it. Hands down my favorite, will return just for the mocha or chai

Excellent espresso. Best there is around the Plaza. Compact walk-up place reminiscent of Italian espresso stands - and just as good. My doppio was perfection, rich mocha body with deep brown striations, sweet on the top and well-rounded to the last drop. No bitterness. My double latte was expert also: milk steamed into textured sweet microfoam balanced with two beautiful shots of espresso.

Review №31

I definitely recommend making sure you stop by this coffee shop when in old town Santa Fe. Its tucked away in a corner in an incredibly small little shop but absolutely filled with knick-knacks, postcards, memorabilia, etc. The owner was friendly and chatted with us as he made our drinks and had good humor and a genuine interest in where we were from, how we liked Santa Fe, etc. I had a double-shot espresso and it was excellent. Smooth and flavorful.

Ive been literally around the world Weisbaden to Rio. This little coffee shop is absolutely my favorite spot on earth. If I am in Santa Fe Im headed over for coffee and wisdom first thing! The owner is the coolest guy ever with humor and intellect in abundance. If your in town with a hunger for coffee, this is your place!

Ch
Review №33

Terrible coffee. Couldnt drink it. I think the shop must have changed owners. The new owner needs to learn how to make coffee properly with freshly ground beans, and some attention to detail, and they probably need to do it soon – place was empty and bad reviews are going to pile up.

Review №34

The coffee is the best and so is Bill. A spot not to be missed if you are in Santa Fe. So much heart and soul and great coffee packed into one little place. And don’t forget to pick up some lip balm made by Bill’s wife.

This is *literally* a little hole in the wall. You are not meant to sit inside...heck, you can barely stand inside. However, the barista and the coffee are both superb.

Review №36

I was SO excited to go to Holy Spirit and try out the coffee I’d heard so much about, but when I showed up (on a day shown as having open hours), I was immediately shut down by two people chatting at the counter telling me that the place was closed.They redirected me to another place nearby, but we’re neither friendly nor empathetic. It felt like they could care less about customer service.Super. Bummed.

New Ownership - was very sad to see the old owner go, but wanted to try this old favorite.Highly disappointing! The cappuccino was extremely bitter and burnt tasting - adding sugar didn’t help much either.It used to have such fantastic coffee...Sad to have to find a new coffee spot.

Best coffee shop in the state. Easy! Makes my trips to Santa Fe THAT much better. Plus owners are sweet folks. Couldnt be any nicer.

Review №41

Coffee tasted stale & blah. Not much variety to choose from. Coffee was not piping hot, more just over warm. Owner (woman) who waited on us was a bit of a space & not very friendly to say the least. Inside is tiny, but used unwisely. No snacks or pastries to go with your coffee. Just a bunch of outdated pics and decor. I wanted to like this place but honestly it was pretty bad.

Mediocre people that don’t know about coffee are just mad that Bill left...The coffee actually tastes even better with the new owner!Bummer people don’t know how to appreciate good coffee and good ownership .

If youre like me, you roll into a town and the first thing you do is try to find the best coffee, food & beer (in that order) - this spot doesnt disappoint - its everything a perfect local coffee spot should be - amazing coffee and a beloved local spot - and its literally a spot - tiny place with a big presence. Bill, the owner & barista is everything you want in a host - interested & warm - this place is a gem

Ive parked in the municipal parking lot across of Holy Spirit Espresso for years when Ive visited Santa Fe. Holy Spirit Espresso is very small and easy to miss. It has, by far, the best coffee and espresso that Ive had in Santa Fe... or anywhere.
