Burque Bakehouse is an absolute must if you visit Albuquerque! A street-side walk up shop with amazingly delicious pastries - both sweet and savory. 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. read more

The Burque Bakehouse - Artichoke Danish and Boston Cream Pastry. - Bakeries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Delicious pastries and great coffee here at The Burque Bakehouse. The line to order was relatively short as I eagerly awaited the window with all their bakehouse treats. 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. read more

I have driven by daily for several years. And finally determined this was Burque Bakehouse. A healthy queue forms most mornings , snaking around the building. I am to get there soon! read more

Sweet and delicious. The almond croissant is ok. The croissant is not as soft, I bought it and stored it until next morning and it was ok. The focaccia of the day with kale and white bean is incredibly tender , flavorful and satisfying. I will keep buying the daily special. The sourdough olive bread is a bit too firm on the outside, many prefer it this way. I prefer a bit softer and crisp. Perhaps 5 minutes less of baking. I will ask for more par-baked. Big chunks of olives and the sourness of the sourdough is perfect. Inside is nice and soft. 4 out 5 stars. The rhubarb pastry is incredible and it scares me to post publicly for fear it will sell before I buy it next time. I felt as if I was on the streets of Paris. Incredible rhubarb pastry. Don't buy it. Please . Very friendly employees. Don't park in the parking lot. This place is way too busy. Ambience is street counter , no tables , no indoor space and I suspect no bathrooms. I was so bread focused I missed they sell coffee. read more

Amazing must try bakery. Interesting but delicious flavors added to well made in house pastries and breads. Food so good my phone couldn't even eat first, I had to take a bite. Staff was friendly and the service is fast even with quite a line. The calamansi danish was bright and citrusy, just the right amount of sweetness. Ham and cheese croissant was heaven and a great savory treat. The green chile and jack cheese was 1000/10, just a little kick of spice but crunchy and well seasoned. The coffee is perfect as well, def try the iced malted milk latte super creamy and rich. The cafe de olla cold brew is strong and cinnamony perfect as we're getting into the fall season. read more

The absolute best sourdough bread. I get up early on the weekend just to make sure I can get a loaf before they sell out. The line can be long but worth it. Their pastries make a great gift. read more

A local hot spot. Great hospitable staff and a no fuss walk up and order type spot. Parking fills quick and it gets busy. Everything is fantastic.

If you like unique, delicious, and freshly baked goods you hit the jackpot here!!! We came by at 8:50am on a Sunday morning and there was already a line. Please note this place has no seating area. Line wraps around the building, you order your pastries and coffee at an outdoor window and you get your food and leave! I was impressed with the unique flavor options (like a passion fruit croissant). We ordered a big box of goodies and loved them all. Fresh baked loaves of bread are also a must try. Employees and a high level of pride in their work and the quality shows. We need more businesses like this one! It is very expensive but well worth it. read more

I got the Cardamom vanilla latte with oat milk, based on their recommendation! I Asked for it less sweet and it is delish and a great recommendation. Hubby got the Burque fog and he said it was ok but not his favorite. We also go the sour cream coffee cake and it was good. We also go the French toast bread to try. Cute little spot, only walk up, no inside seating. There was a line when we arrived but things moved quickly. Service was friendly and quick! I would recommend giving them a try! Only open Thursday-Sunday! So keep that in mind! read more

The Burque Bakehouse smells like fucking heaven. Seriously, Saturday morning wait? Who cares? You're going home with amazing treats, and you're going to smell fresh baked bread for 15 minutes at the busiest. As a former pastry chef, I will tattoo their name on my butt... that's how committed I am. You Burquenians REALLY know your baked goods and breads. I am faithfully devout, I will work for breakfast if you let me!! Love the absolute cream cheese outta ya'll! read more

I'm not a morning person so it took me a while to make it to Burque Bakehouse but I'm glad I did. I had the cherry creme fraiche croissant toast (the cherries were so ripe and juicy!), my friend had an almond croissant, and we got a loaf of piñon black pepper pecorino sourdough. Everything was delicious and all the selections looked so tasty it was hard to choose. read more

Overall: The Burque Bakehouse makes some delicious pastries, and I would never turn down something from them or an invite to go. However, there are other bakeries that I'd probably choose over them unrelated to the taste/quality of their baked goods. Food: 5 The pastries are always delicious. Their croissants and danishes are perfectly flaky and crispy on the outside with fluffy layers on the inside. Service: 5 The employees are always super nice and patient with your questions. It can take a few minutes to get your pastries though. Ambiance: 3 The Burque Bakehouse is a tiny bakery where you order and wait for your order outside. There isn't much parking in the lot but street parking isn't too hard to find. read more

Great pastries but shout out to the local behind me who told me to get their BREAD. The Epi is on par if not BETTER with the ones we have in San Fran. Squeeze it - you'll hear the symphony of crackle. We didnt have a toaster over at our hotel but warmed up the crossants would have been even better. Just go! read more

What a fantastic bakery! Not only was everything baked to technical perfection but the flavors were creative with lots of variety. The Boston cream was my favorite! The honey latte was also such a dreamy cup of goodness. Highly recommend stopping and trying as many things as possible! read more

I've driven past Burque Bakehouse so many times and finally decided to stop and wow, I'm so glad I did! Every time I've gone by, there's been a line wrapping around the building, so I figured it had to be good. And it absolutely is! This spot is a walk-up bakery, not a sit-down place.. you order at the window. I got a simple drip coffee, a berry crisp danish, and a Boston cream cruffin. Everything was so fresh and flavorful and totally worth the hype!! It's tucked along Broadway in a little neighborhood area, so it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention, but don't drive by like I used to... stop! The line moves quickly, and the staff are super friendly and helpful if you have any questions. Just a heads up: they're only open Thursday through Sunday, 8 AM to 2 PM (or until sold out), so plan accordingly. Trust me, it's worth the wait and the limited hours. Burque Bakehouse is now officially one of my must-stop spots in Albuquerque! read more

This has got to be my all time favorite spot to get pastries in ABQ. I tried the elote pastry last year and had been thinking of it and had to treat myself today. Definitely try it if you are able to! Although I've never been at a time where there isn't a bit of a line. They move at a pretty nice pace, which I appreciate. Then are always so friendly when you finally make it to the window. Thanks yall for always making the best savory and sweets! read more

OMG, makes me want to move back to ABQ. We had some lovely pastries and I was envious of the baguettes!

One of each please! That's what I wanted to say when it was my turn to order. All those flaky pastries look so wonderful! They have fruit danish, flaky coconut rolls, kouign amann, banana bread and much more along with coffee and a variety of drinks. So let me back up a little and say that they don't have a menu for these pastries. You basically walk up to the window and order. Samples of these were displayed in front of you. It's kinda difficult if it's your 1st time and there are people behind you. Anyway, we were very pleased with what we got and wished we had ordered more. There's not much of an ambiance as there is no place to sit around. read more

I love Burque Bakehouse, this is an update because they are so consistently great. I can't pass it up when I'm in the neighborhood. And I have so many more pictures of their gorgeous food! They have staples & new innovations frequently too. I'm obsessed with the green chile croissants, and tomato basil "pizza". Tea & coffee drinks are always well balanced & delicious. The staff are always very friendly & attentive to the neighbors. I know people see a line but it moves really quickly and is totally worth it. read more

No one can tell me that this isn't one of the best bakeries in town. Yes, it isn't a sit down place. Yes, there's always a line. BUT The staff is always kind and happy. The menu is full of interesting, seasonal bakes. That pepper/pine nut/pecorino sourdough is enough to keep me coming back but then you also have offerings like mango rice pudding or elote danishes, boston cream cruffins, blueberry violet or passion fruit croissants. AND THE PERFECT LITTLE DRINK OFFERINGS AS WELL! A genuine gem thats worth every cent I spend here. read more

The man in the window commented that we were getting all the bread. Which we did. We didn't come to play. So let's get down to the serious business of bread. After we got our items, we sat at a bench in a nearby park to try everything. As we ate, the shade was replaced by the sun, making it very hot. Each item gradually added to build up to an overall delectable experience that made us feel even warmer, and we had to get up several times during eating so as to reorient ourselves so that we could regain our wits and continue on with the next item. Service: the line wrapped around the corner of the building, and it took 20 minutes to get to the window. Too long to make me want to go back at ~10am. The wait to get the food was much shorter. Ambiance: not much ambiance. The employees were friendly, but it felt a bit impersonal (more of a go-to-the-window-and-get-your-food) as they were trying to serve many people. Food: Breads: Red chile loaf - I almost didn't get this, but it was a last-second addition, and I'm glad I did. It's got a good spicy kick, and there are occasional garlic pieces. It sniffs so good, the inside is red, and you can see the red chile diffusely throughout. Pistachio pear cardamom loaf - the pears were pretty sparse, and I wish there were more. The pistachio isn't terribly noticeable. But the cardamom flavor was great. Pinon, pecorino, black pepper loaf - this was really good. Possibly my favorite item, and definitely my favorite bread. Unique combination of flavors. There were chunks of pecorino cheese, including one sticking out the side of the bread (fun), but I think there should be more cheese. I think it would also be good with melted cheese (warm up the loaf), which one could try at home. Pastries: Plum danish - the plum is tasty but it's a pretty standard pastry and not the most exciting one Calamansi danish (curd, almond poppy crumble + lemon glaze) - tasty, citrus is always a good choice. The almond poppy crumble is memorable visually but stands out less taste-wise. Seasonal jam bun (strawberry? rhubarb) - one of my favorites. The rhubarb is really good. Could use a little more jam though. Boston cream cruffin - a sensual dessert. I had to clear my throat after watching the way the cream oozed out of the bottom. The inside was moist from the cream. Banana miso butterscotch seasonal danish - so good and delectable. The butterscotch + miso cream made the inside nice and moist, like the Boston cream cruffin Tomato pesto and chèvre seasonal danish - a savory pastry that isn't unique but was very well done. I usually don't get the same thing twice, but this is something that I would get again. Green chile and jack cheese croissant - excellent flavor, presentation, texture read more

I was in town for a trip and this place was recommended to me and I have to say it was really lovely. I went there with my husband and my father. The service was exceptional! The person who took our order was very hospitable and super helpful in helping decide what to order as they have quite a selection. I ended up getting the dark berry crisp danish and the green chile croissant the first day. I didn't really enjoy the berry danish but I think that has more to do with me than the actual pastry. It just wasn't what I was going for and I am more of a savory person in general, which brings me to the green chile croissant and let me just say: amazing! sooo good! I also tried the samosa pizza and I really enjoyed it. So much so that we went back the next day. The only thing I will say is that I wish they heated their products for customers as I would like to eat my treats when buying and we also didn't have a microwave to heat our items in our hotel room, just a little bit inconvenient. Overall, I think this place is worth checking out at the very least! read more

We got a variety of treats to go. Outstanding pastries. Our cruffins and chocolate croissants were crunchy, flaky perfection. The freshness was obvious in everything. Nothing was obnoxiously sweet. The red chile bread had a glorious chewy crust and a distinct chile kick. It was wonderful with butter. The only thing we didn't love was the special turnip and mushroom pizza. A strange mix of flavors that came across as an unsuccessful experiment. Cappuccinos were widely enjoyed, but were not as special as the pastries and bread. All in all, you can't do better for baked goods in Albuquerque. read more

Excellent, takeout bakery food is good and the staff is friendly and helpful. Better get there early they sell out.

This is one of the best bakeries in town. I've been here more than once but somehow hadn't managed to review them yet. After one of those medical procedures requiring a liquid diet and fasting, the first stop I wanted to make was Burque Bakehouse. We got a calamansi danish, a jam bun, a kouign amman, and a cafe de olla cold brew. Oh, what goodness! The kouign amman was so buttery and delicious with the caramelized sugar, and I loved the contrast between the sharp citrus and the sweet laminated dough of the calamansi danish. The jam bun had lovely apricot (I think) jam between layers of pastry. And after more than 24 hours without caffeine, the cold brew really hit the spot. We also bought a loaf of challah to make into French toast this morning. Of course we sampled some before making breakfast and it was fantastic. In the past, we've tried their croissants (flaky perfection) and their pinenut, black pepper, and pecorino sourdough. It's all so good! read more

I buy bakery items from BB 3-4 times a month when I am in the E. San Jose neighborhood. Everything is wonderful. Today I got the pumpkin bread and wanted to run right to YELP and review it. I went to their website first but no ops there! The pumpkin bread was heavenly. I used to love SB's pumpkin bread but never again after tasting BB's version. The frosting was tart and sweet; the bake perfect. Thank you for being a small piece of heaven in the near South Valley. I know I will be getting another piece next week and I will live for that moment! Service at the unique step up window is always warm and friendly, also! Cutest bakery in town. read more

Found out about this gem shortly before they were nominated for a JAMES BEARD AWARD! It is well deserved... all their baked goods are superb. Visit early if you can... the hype is real! There can be long lines and they will sometimes sell out of items. Some items are seasonal/rotated. My favorite pastry so far has been the Grapefruit Danish. The Mango Sticky Rice Danish was also a memorable one. The Twice-Baked Almond Croissants are always a huge hit and always on the menu. Also wonderful customer service! The owners are so friendly and they are still at the window sometimes. read more

Why do folks stand in a line in pretty much any weather for a grab n go coffee and pastry? Several reasons. Because it is a grab n go. No tables to wait for. It's only open Fridays - Sundays so we have something to look forward to. The pastries are not 'run of the mill' either! Some are seasonal so if you loved a certain pastry, and it's seasonal, you'll have to wait for next year. Last week I got their Mango & Jasmine Rice Pudding Danish! So delicious that I came back this week for another one. It's seasonal. Bummer! So I got the Boston Cream Cruffin and can't wait to bite into it! I love having a delightful experience to look forward to so I will definitely be back. Oh! And the staff at the windows are amazing! read more
