I had never been to the Burque Bakehouse until very recently because I was so introverted, didn't…read morelike crowd...and just didn't want to wait in a long line and find parking in such a small space. Until, one day, I stopped by this place early on a weekday out of whim because my appointment got slightly postponed...so I figured a weekday early morning wouldn't be a bad time to check this place out at all..and I was 100% sure I made the right decision! There was just one or two persons in front of me! I really liked how unique the pastries/baked goods at The Burque Bakehouses were! Everything looked so unique and I honestly had a hard time choosing what I wanted. I ended up with a mix of savory and sweet patries...but, to be honest, I thought the savory ones did not compare to the sweet ones at all! So, next time, I would probably lean in more on the sweet pastries (which weren't too sweet at all)! The place could be crowded and the parking spaces seemed a little limited...so weigh your factors on the day/time you wanted to stop by this place. There was no place to get properly seated indoors. You pretty much line up, place your orders, pay and wait for staff to assemble your order...and take your food somewhere to eat. There were a couple stools to sit there..but this place may be best if you just grab items to go!

While vacationing in New Mexico the family wanted to stop by for some baked goods and I was looking…read moreforward to it. We ended up ordering a Boston crème muffin, and some cookies. Given that all the locals also recommended it I had high expectations. I tried the two cookies and sadly they looked like they were going to be soft cookies but they were pretty hard. I think the flavor was alright (one of them reminded me of a Mrs. Fields cookie...) but they were so dry and hard. I then tried the muffin and the inside filling tasted good but the outside (which I think had layers like a croissant) tasted burnt and somewhat dry as well. Overall, given the high price and the experience I had I honestly can't really recommend this place. I feel like it's more hype then actually good.

OK. I realize I wrote a review 7 years ago. Been a long time but I am back. I ordered some…read morebiscuchitos a couple years ago and had them shipped to Virginia. I get desperate sometimes for food from home. They were amazing. Just stopped off for some more while in NM. Still excellent. What makes them perfect is she uses enough anise, many people don't. Texture and taste are perfect. Wish I had her recipe since she does a better cookie than any of my relatives. Owner is also really flexible, went out of her way to meet me after hours and sell me what few cookies she had left. We ate them slowly, with happy noises.

Pre-order cake or stop by for a cupcake. My daughter and I found this place quite by accident…read more Well, she had heard there was a cake shop in Socorro, but was not sure where it was located. I had to mail some things from the Post Office and there it was! They just opened for the day. She had a display of the days offerings. Not as big as the ones in Albuquerque, but very tasty and great looking. The day's offering were: Blue Berry Cheesecake, Fruity Pebbles, and a Chocolate Covered Marshmallow, this one looked heavenly. Cupcakes were $2.50 each or 6 for $12. I forgot to note the dozen price. We got 6 to go. There is a place to sit and enjoy your treat. My daughter said that would be perfect for her and her friends to come, sit and enjoy. This place is a little hidden, at least to me. If I had not parked where I did for the Post Office we would not have spotted it. While there we checked out her custom order cakes. Very creative! My daughter likes to have a place to get just one cupcake, you know for after those finals!

We are on our way back home from Scottsdale to Catoosa, OK and on the trip we are lodging in…read moreGallup. It was early evening so I looked on Yelp for dinner spots and we had made stops here before, Keith was tired and just wanted quick and easy so we went to Cracker Barrel. And I told him after dinner we would be having a yummy fritter and maybe a donut or two! We headed that way and the building is pretty small, looks like it used to be something like a Tasty Freeze maybe. When you open the door, the sweetness just flows out to you! There were a couple of racks of fresh donuts and cookies that were cooling. There were lots of freshly baked bread they use for the sandwich shop. We ended up getting an eclair, a chocolate twist, a donut and the fritter, and you can't have donuts without milks! We only paid $13 for everything, which was well worth it. They aren't open 24/7 right now, but we were talking with the owner and he said he comes in about 2 o'clock to start making bread for the sandwich shop. We told him we were going to be on the road at 3 and the cinnamon rolls looked fantastic. He wanted us to stop by and knock on the door so he could let us in! I was only able to take one photo, but everything was over the top! If you are anywhere within 50 miles of this Route 66 gem stone, you have to run by! You'll be glad you did!

I got a double chocolate and a chocolate white cake with sprinkles. The donuts were light and airy. Good flavor. A little greasy tasting. But overall a doughnut that if passing through, I would stop by and get again.
