A downtown Burro Avenue deli inside the Burro Street Exchange — subs, paninis, soup, salads, monster cookies, and soft-serve. Indoor and outdoor seating, with a Welcome to Cloudcroft mural by Samantha Odom on the south patio. Open 11 to 4, closed Wednesdays.
The Burro Avenue lunch counter that fills the gap between barbecue and sit-down hotel dining — quick subs, paninis, and a monster cookie chaser, with a south-patio mural that doubles as the village's most photographed wall.
"The BLT with jalapeños. It's the local-recommended order — a familiar deli sandwich with the small twist that tells you the shop is paying attention."

"Any sub as a salad, plus a monster cookie. Lighter for the trail or the drive, with the dessert that the shop is genuinely known for."
Sandwich-as-salad + jumbo cookie
"A panini and a soft-serve cone, taken out to the south patio. The mural by Samantha Odom is the village's best Cloudcroft selfie — and the patio is where you actually stop and use it."

What this shop actually does well, and when to aim somewhere else on the strip instead.

Posted hours are 11 AM to 4 PM every day except Wednesday. It's a lunch-only shop — no breakfast, no dinner. If you're aiming for a Wednesday Burro Avenue lunch, this isn't the stop.
Lunch rush builds between about 12 and 1:30 in the high seasons; arriving on the early or late edge of the window means a faster line.
Indoor and outdoor seating are both available — this is more of a sit-down lunch spot than a strict grab-and-go counter. The south patio carries a Welcome to Cloudcroft mural by local artist Samantha Odom, which is a Cloudcroft selfie opportunity worth planning around.
If the weather cooperates, take a panini and a soft-serve cone to the patio and use the wall.
The shop is at Suite 112 inside the Burro Street Exchange — the multi-tenant building at 505 Burro Ave that also includes Burro Street Bakery, Noisy Water Winery, and Old Barrel Tea Co. Easy to combine a sandwich with a stop next door for a glass of wine, a tea blend, or a bakery pastry on the way out.
The fresh-baked jumbo cookies are repeatedly mentioned in local coverage and are the dessert run the shop is known for. The shop's hashtag — #balance — is the cue: get the sub or salad, then the cookie. Soft-serve is the optional cone on top.
Specific menu items, daily soup, and patio availability can shift. The official site at cloudcroftsandwich.shop and the Facebook page carry the current details. For anything time-sensitive, a quick call to (575) 551-0065 is the surest way to confirm.
"Cloudcroft Sandwich Shop fills a slot the village actually needs — a fast, central, lunch-only deli that fits between the barbecue queues and the hotel dining rooms. The BLT with jalapeños is the local order, the monster cookie is the souvenir, and the south-patio mural by Samantha Odom is the photo people come back with. If it's Wednesday, plan around it. Any other day, it's the easy lunch on Burro."
