Juniper Coffee & Eatery on College Blvd. in Farmington<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Before heading off for an overnight stay in Farmington back in February, 2023, I scoured the internet for suggestions on where to have breakfast. \u00a0My criteria was simple: \u00a0preferably a Navajo owned-and-operated eatery.\u00a0 Restaurants who spell New Mexico’s official state vegetable “chili” wouldn’t be considered. \u00a0Yelp came through on its listing of the ten best restaurants for breakfast<\/strong><\/a> in Farmington. \u00a0At the very top of that list was Juniper Coffee and Eatery on College Blvd. \u00a0Little did I know how enthusiastically and overwhelmingly that choice would be endorsed later by people with whom I shared a dinner table and many laughs. \u00a0Serendipity certainly played a role in my breakfast venue of choice.<\/p>\n

Serendipity also played a role in that the address for the LorAmy’s Valentine’s Dining Experience<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0presented by James Beard Award Finalist Justin Pioche<\/strong><\/a> and the address of Juniper Coffee and Eatery were one and the same. \u00a0Justin had borrowed the venue from his friends at Juniper for the exclusive one night Valentine’s Day extravaganza. \u00a0As the only unaccompanied diner at the event, I had the great privilege and blessing of being seated next to the great chef’s three aunts and one uncle. \u00a0When I asked them what Farmington restaurant served the best breakfast, they gushed about Juniper. \u00a0They were also unanimous in recommending the SPAM burrito and the blue corn plate.<\/p>\n

Both Justin and his business partner and beautiful sister Tia were similarly enthusiastic about Juniper. \u00a0That sealed it. \u00a0No more contemplating any other Farmington restaurant or waiting until Cuba to fuel up with breakfast. \u00a0Better still, I already knew how to get to Juniper. \u00a0Juniper was launched by Hamilton and Tina Cadman right after the autumnal equinox in September, 2019. \u00a0They chose the name Juniper because the high desert landscape surrounding the area in which the coffee shop is located is replete with juniper trees and because juniper ash is used to give their blue corn items on their menu the bluish hue they have. \u00a0They also believed the name Juniper would resonate as a Native owned-and-operated restaurant.<\/p>\n

Hamilton himself greeted me at the front counter. \u00a0He couldn’t have been prouder at how his loyal friends and customers so eagerly recommended his eatery. \u00a0He told me that initially the venue was used exclusively for its kitchen facilities to support a catering company he and Tina had operated for nearly ten years. \u00a0 Previous tenants left an espresso machine which he and his wife decided to incorporate into the eatery’s operation. \u00a02020 and the Cabrona virus hit Juniper hard with several very trying months–including shutting down for a period–and increased reliance on delivery companies. \u00a0They also collaborated with the Pioche Food Group on events that helped keep them on their feet. \u00a0Recovery was slow, but with persistence the small eatery continues to thrive.<\/p>\n

Blue Corn Bowl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

11 February 2023<\/strong>:\u00a0 Juniper is ensconced in a Lilliputian space with limited indoor seating. \u00a0Weather permitting, additional seating is also available on a patio from where you might even be able to smell the juniper (both the tree and the restaurant’s fare). \u00a0Befitting the restaurant’s size, the menu is rather on the small size, offering breakfast, lunch, coffee and “non-coffee.” \u00a0The size of the menu certainly does not speak to the deliciousness of the food. \u00a0Getting to Juniper when it first opens in the morning may reap additional benefits–such as fresh muffins and scones just out of the oven. \u00a0There’s nothing like warm scones just out of the oven, especially when they’re blueberry scones<\/strong><\/em> with blueberries a plenty. Tender, flaky, light, and golden brown on top, the scones are punctuated generously with juicy, tangy blueberries. \u00a0What a wonderful treat!<\/p>\n

11 February 2023<\/strong>: The wonderful Pioche family would not be very happy with me if I hadn’t ordered the blue corn bowl<\/strong><\/em> (blue corn mush, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, chi seeds, honey, toasted almonds). \u00a0In my childhood, blue corn mush was one of those foods I avoided like it was made with stinging nettles. \u00a0My mom loved the stuff. \u00a0She would certainly love how Juniper prepares it. \u00a0In my defense, mush is one of those foods that gets a bad rap. When people refer to food as “mush,” it is usually an insult meaning it has an off-putting texture most efficiently eaten by people wearing dentures. \u00a0My first taste of the blue corn mush almost validated why I hadn’t liked it then I remembered my mom would add sugar. \u00a0Sweet mush is much better, especially when your spoon shares space with the berries and nuts. \u00a0This is a mush dish that made a convert out of me!<\/p>\n

\"\"
Breakfast Burrito with SPAM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

11 February 2023<\/strong>: Hawaiians aren’t the only people who love SPAM. \u00a0It’s long been a favorite of Native Americans, too. \u00a0Increasingly, SPAM is also being used in fine-dining and gourmet restaurants. \u00a0Still, it’s a surprise to find it on any restaurant’s menu. \u00a0Juniper’s breakfast burritos<\/strong><\/em> are offered with your choice of protein: bacon, sausage, Black Forest ham, veggies or SPAM. \u00a0Guess which one is Juniper’s best seller? \u00a0Breakfast burritos are of the hand-held variety and arrive at your table sliced in half so you can ogle the ingredients (potatoes, egg, Cheddar, green chile, house tortilla, salsa). \u00a0A side of salsa–for those of us who believe pain is a flavor–is served with the burritos.<\/p>\n

12 September 2025<\/strong>: During my second visit to Juniper, I was accompanied by my beautiful bride and our great friend Greg Hamilton.\u00a0 At a Pioche event held at Greg’s home, I made sure Justin and Tia raved about Juniper and its SPAM burrito.\u00a0 In keeping with my nature not to repeat whatever I ordered last at any restaurant, I ordered the berries n cream<\/strong><\/em> (blue corn waffle, fresh berries, vanilla cream, triple berry coulis, maple).\u00a0 It was an outstanding choice!\u00a0 \u00a0Blue corn waffles are just a tad sweeter and nuttier than traditional waffles.\u00a0 They have a distinct “fresh corn” flavor and a slightly grainy texture not to mention that characteristic tinge of blue complementing the golden waffle.\u00a0 Fresh strawberries and blackberries along with the triple berry coulis imbued these waffles with tangy notes that contrasted (in a loving way) the sweetness of the maple syrup.\u00a0 These waffles are worth a trip to Farmington.<\/p>\n

Add my voice to those of the Pioche family who recommended Juniper Coffee & Eatery with such alacrity. \u00a0For me, Juniper was a wonderful surprise, but don’t be surprised when I return next time we’re in Farmington.<\/p>\n
