    Wow I didn't realize that I been to this business before but it was when they were in a much smaller structure! This unit now is so much bigger and spacious and very pink! I love the pink decorarions and pink color that this establishment has. The atomsophere very youthful and very cheerful. They have indoors cameras to keep you safe in the establishment. They brew coffee, their famous parties and of course pizza. It was a wonderful experience and the taste is almost present and they definitely know how to make customers happy!

    I'd tried one of Cafe Chica's bomboloni at the farmers market, and I have visited their new physical location a couple of times during the soft open. It's a very welcoming space with a cute pink aesthetic and a variety of seating areas, including a little kids' nook, a sofa and coffee table, a counter with stools, and multiple tables. The bomboloni are delicious and very filling, and they have a nice selection of coffee, tea, and cocoa with flavored syrups you can add. The service is friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit!

    This was a delightful dessert and a lovely introduction to Cafe Chica. I will be going back to try one of the specialty coffees on the menu.

    I a had coffee, the crème brûlée donut which I believe is always on rotation & cream cheese with bacon donut. Both were delicious. I believe the flavors of the pastry's change weekly. Loved the pink decor and service was great. I'll be back :)

    I had heard of them before when they were selling next to Bing tea on occasions. The service was fast and the employees were friendly and nice. They gave us a free mini donut for a promotion they had going on. Very small space (extremely small!) only two to three people fit inside (when ordering)! We ordered the bacon and Oreo dessert, really good! Not too street which I enjoyed Two of these stuffed donuts were roughly around $13 ( they're not called donuts though)

    Can I eat donuts for every meal? Because these donuts are amazinggg. I love that there are new flavors every week, and every single one I've had so far has been incredible. I was most surprised by the Everything But the Bagel donut, but it was my favorite! Crème brûlée was also incredible. The donuts are fluffy and flavorful, and the location at El Vado is great for enjoying these donuts in the cooler weather. I also got a honey matcha latte that was a great pairing!

    This was my first visit to this new restaurant. I parked on the street on Central; I think there's more parking around the corner and behind. Nice natural light flows in, and the décor is modern and fresh. Nice color, comfortable casual seating. My understanding is that in the mornings they serve a variety of pastries; I was there in the evening and had pizza. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The kitchen is partly visible and there's a very interesting large gas fired pizza oven. The pizza? Amazing. I will return another time to take photos, but here's what I liked. The crust had a very slight browning and crunch to the outer layer, the inner layer is soft and creamy. It was so good that I talked to the staff about it and was not surprised to learn that they used 00 flour and import it from Italy (Any American wheat farmers want a chance? ). This is a nice addition to the Albuquerque restaurant scene, I am eager to return for the morning fare.

    Unreal!! Best donuts ever. So glad they opened a storefront! Went with my friend & got the coconut matcha donut (soooo tasty) & the crème brûlée to go. They have a sweet & thoughtful kids area that I'll have to bring my kids to sometime, and the space is so beautifully done. Wonderful customer service and out of this world donuts/bombolinis! Also got their pumpkin spice latte & it was divine. Such a nice spot!

    Cafe Chica has been around for a while but they just recently relocated to a spot downtown and it is gorgeous!! I've tried their bomboloni's in the past and they are to die for, I do recommend to go in the morning to get them because they are made fresh everyday so sometime they run out at noon. If you happen to go around lunch they offer pizza made to order this visit I tried their beignets which are also made to order they are super fresh and delicious. The service is always spot on especially from the owner Mariah.

    I literally cannot say enough wonderful things about this shop! They have the most amazing treats I have had in a long while. These truly are a one of a kind of treat! They change flavors weekly so that's always fun! I may have gotten my office addicted to them as well so we all randomly show up to work with a treat for each other. The shop is small but is has the most wonderful little kitchy feel that makes the shop so cute! Know that if there is a a bit of a wait but the shop has some of the kindest workers in abq.

    Beignet!

    Sandwich and cinnamon rolls were incredible! And hot beignets were too! Go Albuquerque!

    Delicious donuts! Pumpkin cheesecake, chai tea, strawberry cream bombolonis! Sooo good!
    Megan M.

    These bomboloni Italian style donuts are AMAZING. This time we tried the pumpkin cheesecake and it was delicious! The donut is perfectly fluffy and crispy. The filling is so light and fluffy but super rich and creamy but not overly sweet. We got two more flavors to try later and I'm sure they'll be just as scrumptious. We were also given an order of beignets that were absolutely to die for. They are made to order and melt in your mouth yummy! Get there early or they will sell out!

The specialty coffees and beverages (Rhubarb Green Tea!) accompany the elegance of the menu. Artichoke Danish is pictured with a Boston Cream Pastry. But we seriously crave the exquisite Roman style "pizza" on focaccia, and the home-made grahams. While it is a walk-up shop, there are usually a couple available stools outside to enjoy your purchase on site. You can tell the staff are also in love with the menu - they are so friendly and knowledgable and happy to talk about their favorites, too. This is a business obviously grown from passion. We ADORE Burque Bakehouse.

I ordered many treats for myself and bestie. One pastry that caught my eye was the classic butter croissant dough with activated charcoal, glazed blood oranges, and blood orange curd. I'm not sure if this is only a seasonal item. The colors are beautiful! It was quite sweet, however the blood orange tartness aided in the flavors giving it a bit of tartness. The Boston Cream Cruffin looked mighty tasty. It's made with their signature croissant dough rolled up and filled with vanilla pastry cream and dipped in dark chocolate ganache. I'm having this for dessert tonight. Pumpkin bread Jam bun Espresso machine where they craft yummy drinks. I ordered an iced americano.
