  • 1. Bear Mountain Coffee House & Gallery

    $

    Once the rambunctious West Bar, this vintage 1900 building has been restored, revealing formerly hidden charms, like the original plank floors. The dancehall side is now a coffeehouse, which serves tempting blueberry muffins and hearty lunch fare, such as roast beef panini, accented with pepper-jack cheese and Dijon mustard. The Old Crow mirror from the former bar hangs on one wall, and bookish sorts should note the collection of rare and unusual Southwest lit for sale. Be sure to step through to the bar side, which displays local artwork (Holly Modine's cleverly formed baskets, Debra Nudson's brilliantly hued rag rugs). The rack of travel brochures and friendly service makes this a useful stop for those heading farther along U.S. 60.

  • 2. Daily Pie Cafe

    $ | Café

    The entry to this homey spot sports a hand-painted sign proclaiming "Home cooking on the great divide." And so it is. Owner-chef Michael Rawls enjoys his work, and locals and visitors appreciate his culinary skills. First check the Daily Pie Chart—consider the signature New Mexican apple pie (piñon nuts and green chile make it special) or seasonal peach walnut crumb—before you fill up on the main course side of the menu. Daily Pie opens early in the morning and usually closes by 3. Trusty breakfast and lunch dishes (and an occasional Friday-night special) include good tomato-onion-cheese omelets and burritos packed with ham, eggs, and cheese. There's a sweet cabin for rent out back (daily or longer).

  • 3. Pie-O-Neer Cafe

    $ | Café

    "Life goes on and days go by. That's why you should stop for pie." Such is the motto of one of New Mexico's memorable roadside stops. In this one-time trading post, owner Kathy Knapp serves light meals (grilled cheese spiked with green chile, vegetarian soup, spinach quesadillas) from late morning through midafternoon, but pie is her stock in trade. She bakes at least 12 varieties daily—she's nimble with whatever's in season (fresh-picked plums are a special treat), and most days you can count on oven-fresh apple, cherry, chocolate cream, lemon meringue, and banana cream. On some Sunday afternoons folks dawdle on the porch, and there might be live music; a small art gallery completes the scene. The little log-cabin guesthouse just up the road is Pie-O-Neer-owned; ask about rates.

  • 4. Caliche's Frozen Custard

    $

    This beloved local joint—it opened as Scoopy's in the 1990s and longtime fans still call it that—offers all kinds of mix-ins (such as regional faves, salted and unsalted pecans) and toppings to embellish the luscious custard-style ice cream. Chili dogs are among the savory treats. There are three locations in Las Cruces.

    $

    This light-filled corner space specializes in local, organic produce and good-for-you packaged goods. Delicious breakfasts and light lunches are also featured—think salads, soups, and tasty sandwiches. And they make a mean smoothie. Eat here in one of their booths, or take your feast with you on a picnic.
