At home in the heart of the new Railyard and within walking distance from the Farmers’ Market, Flying Star Café Santa Fe attracts local foodies and caters to the City Different’s overall eclectic interests and lifestyles. A sprawling 6,500 square-foot building touches an old adobe neighborhood towards the rear and watches the NM Railrunner Express wisp by in front of the café. With a roundhouse feeling throughout, loads of brick and glass create a bright and airy gathering spot. Flying Star’s signature homemade breads, handcrafted pastries and artisanal cakes and pies are baked on-site in the center of the café. It’s common to find bakers chatting with customers as they pull fresh loaves and cakes from their ovens and put the final touches on their creations. European-style bakery displays honor the tradition of “here today, gone today” pastry selections and friendly counter folk proudly navigate the largest made-from-scratch menu of any Flying Star location. A hand painted mural by Flying Star’s Senior Designer Eli Quinn overlooks a vibrantly colored 180 seat dining room and peeks out onto an outdoor patio. Happily embedded in a bustling new area, this café reflects the unique culture and rhythmic pulse of Santa Fe.

At the crossroads of four growing communities (Bernalillo, Placitas, Northern Rio Rancho, and Algodones), the eighth Flying Star is a living embodiment of our own crossroads—a celebration of the past with a nod to the future. That nod comes in the form of a 7,500-squarefoot restaurant with panoramic mountain views, a raised dining area fanned with street-opening windows, and a riverbed-like patio shaded with native Burr Oak and Chinese Pistashe trees. On-site baking of Flying Star’s signature homemade breads, handcrafted pastries, and artisanal cakes and pies, returns Flying Star to its original Nob Hill roots as a neighborhood bakery. Roots are a treasured theme throughout—as the lands were once kindly lent to the Sisters of Loretto Convent to grow food on. That sense of community is preserved today—as we engaged the collaboration of our architect/building team of Ansaldi Shaw Design, Edward Fitzgerald & Associates, and Klinger Constructors. We also used indigenous materials for the adobe wall and created two hand built fireplaces from third-generation local adobe builder, Sculptured Adobe. Sandoval Community Arts, a nonprofit organization, worked with community artists and students to create and paint a grand mural of Bernalillo’s historic timeline inside of the café for all to celebrate. Next to the Flying Star is the aptly named Las Huertas retail space, three buildings that host 12,000 square feet. We think of this Flying Star as a roadhouse, a place to stop and hangout along your way.

The building, originally the Southern Union Gas Co. was designed in 1950 by the regionally famous architect, John Gaw Meem. The gas company stopped using it about 17 years ago and the building has been vacant ever since. Thanks to the efforts of our landlords, Jay Rembe and Chris Calott, plus our architect team of Ansaldi Shaw Design, Ed Fitzgerald & Associates, and Klinger Constructors, the building has been carefully restored and embellished. Recently, it was granted status as a National Historic Place. Our Hospitality Room (Conference Room) upstairs has space for community meetings, catered lunches and dinners, or classes/seminars.
