Travel Bug

From the outside, this independent, locally-owned coffee-shop-cum-bookstore looks nondescript; behind the worn white screen door, however, lies a comprehensive travel bookstore and map haven, as well as a café with strong brews and free Wi-Fi. If you plan on exploring beyond Santa Fe town, Travel Bug is an essential pit stop for purchasing regional maps, many of which focus on activities including hiking. The cozy shop is stuffed from floor to ceiling with guidebooks (national and international), as well as flags, stickers, globes and travel accessories and gadgets. It’s a local favorite (many claim that it serves the best espresso in town), and the friendly staff can make lots of recommendations for town and beyond.
