Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog. Updated July 2026.
Golden Crown Panaderia · Old Town
A longtime Sawmill-district panaderia and a Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog and Food Network pick, known for bread as much as sweets. The green chile bread and biscochito cookies are the signatures, along with made-to-order fruit empanadas and a green chile cheese pizza built on that same house dough. Owner Pratt Morales still works the ovens.
The Burque Bakehouse · Albuquerque
A modern pastry shop named a 2024 James Beard Foundation Outstanding Bakery semifinalist and covered by Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog. The laminated pastries carry it: flaky croissants and seasonal danishes, plus New Mexico-accented bakes. Go early on a weekend before the case thins out.
Ihatov Bread and Coffee · Albuquerque
A Japanese-style bakery singled out by The New York Times among 25 dishes and named a James Beard Outstanding Baker semifinalist, with Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog on board too. The milk bread and Japanese-influenced pastries are the draw, best paired with a pour-over coffee in the small cafe.
Coda Bakery · Southeast Albuquerque
Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog rates this Vietnamese bakery Outstanding and it earned a 2025 James Beard Outstanding Baker nod. Beyond its banh mi, the case holds cinnamon-raisin croissants, pandan waffles and green chile chicken pate chaud. Wash it all down with a durian smoothie.
The Le Bakery · Albuquerque
A 2025 Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog pick with a full case of cakes, pastries and breads plus a small savory menu. A dependable stop for a morning pastry and a coffee to go.
