Body Cafe

I’m an out-of-town visitor and was planning to try the well-known Clafoutis’s bakery (having heard they have some vegan options for my dairy allergy), but they are closed on Sundays. So I made an amazing discovery at Body Cafe next door! Its vegan organic menu, with gluten-free options, is focused on supporting local farmers. How much healthier can you get? I had several slices of fresh baked, gluten-free focaccia and a chickpea (sprouted) salad resembling the texture of chicken salad, with vegan mayo and seasoned with dill and nutritional yeast, and a lovely crunch provided by celery and pickles. And it gets even better! They have in-house baked, vegan pastries and truffles, and they feature the vegan line of the renowned Kakawa chocolates. Especially for health-conscious customers who may also have food, allergies, and sensitivities, I heartily recommend trying the Body Cafe!

🌱 Body Café is a rare gem in Santa Fe. As a vegan foodie who has dined at many plant-based restaurants across Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Portland, and Vancouver, I can say Lori Parish has created something extraordinary—food that’s organic, gluten-free, low oil, generous in portion, and infused with real care. The café itself feels spacious and uplifting, part of a wellness center with yoga, massage, and a boutique that makes the whole place radiant. Unlike so many vegan spots that lose their heart over time, Body Café transmits Lori’s passion and soul in every detail—it’s unforgettable. Tristan and Brycken

Peaceful all vegan, all organic cafe with local seasonal produce and the calmest vibe. A truly rare find anywhere, but especially in Santa Fe! I had the udon vegetable bowl with tempeh and it was fantastic. The veggies were super fresh and vibrant, the noodles perfectly chewy and the tempeh had excellent flavor, being marinated overnight. My partner really enjoyed the chickpea sandwich with gluten free focaccia. The owner and server were both so lovely too. We will definitely be back!
