Badger Does Stuff - Foodie Edition

05/20/2026

Well… we may have accidentally created a problem.

Introducing the Beignet Waffle.
And honestly? This thing should probably require supervision.

The Hungry Badger will be making its debut at the Pecos Farmers Market this Saturday with a very limited batch menu of fresh baked experiments, comfort food chaos, and the official launch of what may now become a permanent obsession.

Fresh beignet dough pressed into a waffle iron until golden and crisp on the outside while staying soft and pillowy inside, then drowned in house-made fresh raspberry sauce and finished with a snowfall of powdered sugar.

It tastes like a state fair, a French Quarter café, and poor decision making all collided in the best possible way.

We’ll also be introducing our new Honey Salted Bagel.
A chewy golden bagel lightly sweetened with honey and finished with flaky salt for that perfect sweet-and-savory bite that somehow makes you immediately want a second one.

And yes… the fresh baked ranch bread will also be making an appearance because apparently we woke up and chose carbs.

This is our first little test run for The Hungry Badger, so quantities will be limited and once things are gone, they’re gone.

This Saturday
Come early. Come hungry. Bring napkins.

Friday at Cakes Cafe means two very important things: Muffulettas and questionable decisions involving staying out later than intended.

Today’s special is our Bayou-style Muffuletta stacked high with meats, provolone, olive salad, and all the bold flavor you should probably sit down for. Messy in the best possible way.

Then tonight, the lights go down and the beats come up with EDM/House Music at Cakes. Coffee shop by day, nightlife gremlin by night.

And while you’re plotting your weekend plans:
Sunday is the Necrobotanist Plant Bazaar with plants, vendors, oddities, and all manner of leafy temptations.
Monday night is our Bagel Making Experience where you can learn to make New York-style bagels from scratch and leave smelling vaguely like a bakery.

Come grab food, hang out, sip something good, and slide into the weekend with us at Cakes Cafe.

New Mexico has finally decided to bless us with a glimpse of beautiful weather.
Sunny and 70 degrees?
That’s patio food weather.
Perfect day to dig into one of our muffulettas, stacked high on sourdough
(our apologies to the muffuletta purists… Italian loaves are apparently mythical creatures in restaurant distributor land).
Or skip the extra bread and dive into our muffuletta pizza on a crispy thin crust.
Wash it all down with a local IPA or pilsner in a frosty frozen mug,
or cool off with one of our spritzers, lemonades, cold brew, or iced teas.
And tonight?
We’ve got the perfect Friday night show:
Karaoke meets Burlesque.
Tickets are $20 and can be grabbed through the QR code.
And trust us… bring plenty of ones to tip our dazzling beauties.
Come eat, drink, sing, and enjoy the night with us.
