Santa Fe Donut FAQ
Are these holiday spots ranked?
No. Every donut shop and bakery here is one we would happily send a friend to, so we list them by neighborhood instead of ranking them.
When can I find these holiday treats?
Most holiday specials appear from late November through the New Year, and many bakeries take pre-orders for pies, cookie boxes and holiday cakes. Menus change every season, so check each shop's site or social before you go.
Can I taste some of these on a tour?
Yes. Our Santa Fe Sweet & Spicy Tour: Chiles, Churros & More visits Cafe Des Artistes, 35 Degrees North Coffee, Wolf and Mermaid Enchanted Cafe and Fusion Delicias Cafe, with biscochitos and churros along the way around the historic Plaza.
