New Cafe, Fiori e Sale Opening in Los Alamos

Published on April 10, 2025

A new café is quietly blooming in the heart of Los Alamos. Fiori e Sale, which means “flowers and salt” in Italian, is opening its doors this week for a soft debut at 1325 Trinity Drive. The location was most recently home to Encanto Bistro, which has now undergone a thoughtful rebranding into Fiori e Sale. The café is owned and operated by Ufemia Bernal Rios, who previously co-owned Encanto Bistro.

Bernal Rios’s new concept invites guests into a world of rustic European charm, soulful food, and quiet comfort. With a space that feels like an intimate escape—whitewashed walls, bougainvillea flowers, painted faux windows, and soft Mediterranean touches—Fiori e Sale is more than a place to eat. It’s a place to slow down, eat well, and feel good.

During this soft launch, the café will offer a simple, seasonal menu featuring just a few carefully prepared plates each day—designed with intention and rooted in authentic European flavors. The team is still learning, growing, and developing the full experience, so hours and offerings may vary.

“Right now, we’re keeping things simple,” says owner Ufemia Bernal Rios. “We’re taking our first steps with care — offering good food in a welcoming space, and letting it grow naturally from there."

Guests are encouraged to stop by, discover what’s on the menu that day, and be part of this evolving story.

Current Hours:
Giornata Rustica (A Rustic Day)

Monday Through Sunday

A day made for lingering — slow sips of coffee, warm bread, simple plates, and good conversation. Whether it’s a hearty breakfast, a midday bite, or something sweet in the afternoon, Fiori e Sale invites you to take your time, feel at home, and enjoy the comfort of honest, soulful food.

Stay tuned for weekly menu updates and evolving hours, which will be shared via Facebook as the café continues to grow.
