On our most recent trip to New Mexico, we made a quick stop in Santa Fe for lunch. We usually try to spend a day in Santa Fe on our way up to Taos but this time we had our car-hating baby in tow and needed to get the drive over with - rip it off like a band aid, if you will. But we did manage to grab a bite to eat at Modern General, a spot I've had my eye on for some time so I'm glad we finally made it! It's filled with all kinds of cute home goods and has a kitchen that makes yummy breakfast and lunch bites, smoothies and coffee. The communal tables and beautiful decor made me wish I could spend the day drinking coffee, eating avocado toast and working away on my laptop in that gorgeous space.
