"Well, we travel all over the US and have visited more than 100 locally owned, coffee shops,in 48 states. I am a huge advocate for supporting local businesses, and like to be honest when writing reviews. I also believe in providing product quality at reasonable prices, to all customers. First, this place has a nice atmosphere, and is clean. However, in our experience the food was ok, and yet very over priced for what you get. Example: we ordered 2 sandwhiches (no chips or, cookie or, etras) and a 16 oz iced coffee, and it came to 40.00!? That is about 15.00 for 1 bagel sandwhich with no extras offered. Hmm... My Gluten free sandwhich (questionable) was dry, 1 egg instead of 2 as posted, a bit mushy, and my 6.50 coffee was 50 percent ice. This is the 1st time we have ever paid that much, and even more than a certain popular.US coffee chain. I understand that prices for certain items are up, but this amount was a bit excessive for what was offered. But as I said, we support locally owned businesses as much as we can. Anyway, I will continue to write reviews to offer insights so, others can make informed decisions. Thanks"

"We just happened to drive through Chama looking for coffee and found this place! The woman was so nice and made the best coffee we had during our roadtrip! And her cookies the New Mexico Sunrise breakfast sandwich was delicious! Highly recommend!"

"Great experience at Rio Chama Espresso. Delicious pastries, great coffee and friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere for enjoying a bite to eat and beverage. Open all year."

"We stayed in Chama this past fall as a home base for a road trip to Chaco Canyon (which is an amazing ancestral place to visit!!). We loved the Chama Coffee Shop and Wine Bar! We started our Chaco Canyon road trip day with coffee and a breakfast sandwich... yum! It was beautifully decorated for fall and super friendly staff. A real gem!"

"This was one of the luckiest finds of my foodie life. I needed a place to do a seminar on Zoom and spent from 9 AM until 3 PM there. They make their own baked goods, great coffee and drinks, but the best part was the people. They were so nice so accommodating of me and my Internet needs 😇 We had breakfast danish lunch of delicious sandwiches with most ingredients homemade. We even had to wait for one pastrami to come out of the oven to get our sandwich. It’s such a simple pleasure in life when you make a find like this. And it’s always about the people who smile and love to serve . It’s what I love about the hospitality industry. The people who have pure joy in making you smile and make funny sounds in your tummy. 😂"
