Looks like they make their own bagels. I didn't have one though. I had their special French toast with strawberries and whipped cream. Also had a London Fog with espresso and blackberry flavor.

The place was well decorated, clean, and had a wide array of baked goods that looked delicious. There was a large dining area with soft jazz music playing, reminiscent of a bagel shop in NYC. Prompted by one of the other Yelp reviews, I ordered the breakfast sandwich (choice of bagel, eggs, cheese, and meat). I opted for turkey sausage on a red chile bagel. I also ordered an iced Americano since they didn't offer cold brew. The Americano was refreshingly strong and very tasty. The espresso didn't taste burnt or like the machine hadn't been cleaned in a while (you can tell). Sadly, the breakfast sandwich was underwhelming. There was a large quantity of eggs and not enough cheese, and the flavor of the red chile was overpowered by everything else. Next time, I'd like to try a toasted bagel with a cream cheese that accentuates the flavor of the bagel.

Santa Cecilia is one of those places that is on our short list for breakfast when we're in Nob…read moreHill, Albuquerque. It sits back a block off the main drag and the parking is on the street but it is just a great place. First of all the food is good. They have something for everyone. They work hard to get everyone's orders just right. They can do the whole gluten sensitivity, dairy allergy, snowflake type of food. So if you're looking for a place that can work with you to avoid any food allergies they always seem to come through for us. As for the staff and service, I think it's great. They have that breakfast place vibe. A great sense of humor. High energy and everyone, customers and staff are all laughing and chattering. Awesome vibes! As for ambiance, the inside is cool. Everything in that place has a story and the whole place is talking. We usually sit outside. The sun is warm in the mornings and there is little traffic and usually we get into a conversation with someone sitting nearby because everybody's just so nice and friendly. I highly recommend Santa Cecilia! Keep it laid-back keep it cheerful just go there for a smile decent cup of coffee and a good breakfast, whether it is pastry or sandwich!

Time flew when we enjoying the cozy ambiance of this shop and the staff were so polite in letting us know that we sat there until the shop was about to close already! womp womp!

While frequent hand washing is being practiced, the bakers dont wear gloves while pounding out the dough. I do so much in my own kitchen by feel that I can see the necessity of bare hands when folding and rolling pastry, but as there isn't a dedicated server/cashier, the lack of gloves made Raz a little nervous. On the other hand, the strudel is thoroughly worth nearly any risk, as I've never had one so good. I think the red berries were cherry, and I've no idea what went into the sweet cream, but I've been dreaming of it for a couple weeks. We tried to go back for more last Sunday, only to find that despite an internet posting of Sunday hours, Mas is closed on Sundays. I'm not thoroughly deterred, and I figure it's not too far out of the way of my daily commute that I might not be able to try for more strudel mid week...

Overall: La Quiche Parisienne Bistro is a gem in Albuquerque serving up excellent French food…read more Food: 4.5 Pastries: The croissant had a crispy and flaky exterior. I just wish the inside was a little fluffier and layered. The pain au chocolate was excellent and had good chocolate inside of it. Quiche Champignon: I love that they make individual sized quiches instead of selling slices. I wish there was a little more mushroom but otherwise delicious. Chicken Salad Croissant: This was the unanimous favorite of the table. The chicken salad was creamy but wasn't too heavy because of the acidity. Frenchy: This French dip was simple and contained just roast beef and mustard. The baguette was crispy but not hard. Service: 4.5 Our sever was very patient with our requests. Food did not take too long to come out. My main gripe is that it took awhile to get seated but that is not the servers fault. It was just packed and they need more help! Ambiance: 5 The bistro is tucked inside an unassuming plaza. It is actually quite nice inside and is good for a casual brunch with friends.

That said it's adorable and nicely decorated inside. You get a couple of hours with multiple courses in your own private room. They have recommendations for the tea pairings with the various courses but you can choose your own and there's one heck of a selection. The staff is knowledge and will give you recommendations on what (if anything) to add to your tea to really bring out the flavor as far as cream and sugar goes. We did the non-alcoholic service and the food and tea were both amazing. There was plenty of food in the three courses. They have limited ability to accommodate dietary needs, but were able to do this for just one member of our party without forcing the others that ad no restrictions to that particular menu item. It didn't matter though, it was all delicious. Anyway, this was an excellent experience and I highly recommend it.

After being seated, our party of four waited a long while before someone popped her head into our seating area to direct our attention towards the menus. The Tearoom offers a curated three-course tea as well as a lengthy menu of options to substitute from. We all said we'd like the curated tea and some water, but the staff person said she'd come back in a while after we had some time to look at the menu. Hmmm. Another ten minutes passed before a different staff person returned with glasses of water. She listened when we repeated that we'd like the menu on offer and returned with the first pot of tea. After a while she brought the first course of a scone and savory strata. The scone was dry. Meh. The strata, though, was tender and flavorful. Then came the second course of tea sandwiches. My, my, meh. A slice of mass-market white bread with butter and cucumber slices. A slice of mass-market wheat with something pasty, sprinkled with what seemed like garlic sesame bagel topping. If there was a third savory, I don't remember it. The tea with this course tasted exactly like Harney & Sons Paris blend. Desserts were a mini chocolate and toffee trifle, a brownie-like confection, and a red velvet mini Bundt cake. Meh. The tea for this course was a basic rooibos blend. But maybe I was already over it when this course was served. It was many minutes before staff appeared to ask if we'd need anything further, like boxes. So, the final calculus...a cute room, inattentive staff, expensive. I'm not convinced, but everyone needs their own experience, so I'd say " Go. Enjoy your tea." I'm looking forward to reading your opinion.
