Ancient Grounds Cafe — Restaurant in Aztec

How did we not try this sooner? You can’t really call this cafe a hidden gem since it’s right on the corner of Main St. and Chaco in Aztec, but it is definitely a gem. We have driven by so many times and have never stopped in. It wasn’t until recently we noticed they were temporarily closed for a remodel so we made it a point to visit once they reopened. We stopped by today after church. You can’t tell from the outside but once we stepped inside they were busy! Thankfully there were a couple of tables available so we were able to get seated right away. The nice young lady who greeted us let us let us know it would be a couple of minutes for coffee as they were finishing up brewing a fresh batch. Within a couple of minutes we had a hot mug of delicious coffee in our hands, and I mean MUG, not a tiny little 8 ounce coffee cup. My husband ordered the breakfast bowl which came with deliciously seasoned potatoes, eggs, bacon/sausage, and cheese. I ordered the loaded biscuits and gravy which came with the most perfectly fluffy biscuits, amazing homemade sausage gravy, loaded with bacon, eggs, and cheese. My plate was so huge I left completely stuffed , my husband had to help me finish. We will definitely be back, I’m already looking forward to it. ...

Visited this cafe on a recommendation by a local antique store. So glad we went in. You must go here. Ashley, our server, was awesome. She was so friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. Everything - bread and treats - are baked on site. The ingredients were so fresh & tasty. Their prices are so reasonable for what you get. Please visit this cafe - you’ll be so glad you do! I look forward to going back many times. Well done Ancient Grounds Cafe. You know...

Traveling through Aztec, on a road trip adventure, we stopped at Ancient Grounds Cafe for a yummy sounding sandwich. Much to our surprise, we stumbled into their new weekend night dinner menu of pasta and garlic bread. The homemade alfredo sauce is heavenly! So much better than a sandwich and so so glad we stopped!!! The chef and staff were very friendly and we enjoyed a nice chat. Nothing better than great food and great company, in a cozy cafe. ...
