Since moving to Duke City my lady and I have been looking for the right loaf of bread. In Seattle we lived right next to a great bakery and got quite spoiled with thick, hearty bread. Upon our arrival here we were quite disappointed to find that none of the grocery stores we went to had good fresh bread. Then one day at the downtown growers market we came across this little gem. The bread is great! Today was their first day (this season?) of having their retail location open. It is a splendid little cafe and bakery. They had some great jazz playing, the folks were very nice, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. My only regret was that I didn't have time to stay and hang-out. read more

Upon entering this beautiful little shop off the beaten path, one is pleasantly overwhelmed with the warm, heavenly aroma of delightful baked goods. I've been here a few meals & have had lovely experiences each time. The owner & his workers give immaculate customer service, & their recent small menu of gourmet sandwiches leaves nothing more to desire. They offer excellent flavored iced (non-sweetened!) teas & artisan sodas. They have a counter where one may sit & watch the bakers at work or gaze out the full window onto coal, as well as a few tables inside & a couple on the wide sidewalk. Hey cyclists, you can lock up your ride right in front! These guys are awesome. read more

If you have not had their bread or baked goods, you are missing out in life. How is it possible to have a cookie that is both crispy and soft in every bite? Who knows. What I do know is that their cookies are literally the best I've ever had. Bread is at their store front and, if you can't make it there, at the local growers markets as well. Amazing people making amazing food. read more

This is a quality over quantity experience. Savory empanada at $5/per is IMHO too expensive for such a modest sized item, but was a fresh, warm, and quality indulgence. Sweet empanada are $3.50/each. Pecan cookies with red chile ($2) are excellent. Didn't try the breads - but today (Thurs) they had, among others, sourdough green chile loaves and good-looking crusty baguettes available... read more

The food is 5 star. The place is 4 star. I died and went to heaven upon sinking my teeth into the green chili sourdough my turkey sandwich came with.Then I died and went to heaven all over again when I made it past the meat and ended at the pepper spread or whatever that was. Safe to say my sandwich hit the spot. I washed it down with a tart hibiscus tea and ended my meal with a sweet potato empanada. I DONT EVEN LIKE SWEET POTATOES but the way I inhaled the empanada you would never know. Awesome food. I don't know what it was but my order took about 30-40 minutes. My hubby also ordered a sandwich. Maybe it was just a bad day. I've only been there once so I don't know if usual or not but the food made up for it. The place is cute but it's almost toooo intimate. That's why I gave it 4. A little too quiet and not big enough. read more

I've never eaten at the bakery; this review is of the baked goods only, which are excellent. I agree the empanadas are pricey but the light delicious crust is perfect -- a favorite addition to Saturday morning brunch. The bread is outstanding. I just finished my last bit of South Valley Sourdough this morning, from a loaf purchased at the 8th & Central grower's market a week ago. Good to the last slice! read more

Bosque Baking has the best bread in town. Their green chile sourdough and empanadas are terrific. The owner Jim is a friendly, down to earth guy with a great sense of humor. They sell their bread at the farmer's market downtown on weekends as well. They have great art work and a casual atmosphere inside. Check this place out for all kinds of great artisan breads and baked goods. read more

Am I the only one who heard of this bakery from the commercials for the morning news? Well, I'm super glad I did! Bosque is a true neighborhood bakery with delicious breads and, my favorite, savory empanadas! Their menu is expanding as are their hours which is great for anyone who casually stops by (like me). The hours thing, is the only reason I didn't do 5 stars. The bread is def 5 stars! read more

Best ever place for high quality baked goods...leagues above anyplace else around. Their rye bread is spectacular, moist with a tender crumb, toasts beautifully. And the spinach feta empanada was delicious. We had to share the last one they had. Could have been ugly, but we were good. They heated it for us, and we savored every last crumb of the flaky lovely crust. Can't wait to go back. read more

They probably have the best baguettes in town - and they are vegan! Even the day old loaves are fabulous, still a clean and fresh taste. When we are in the area, we always stop and typically get a couple loaves of sourdough, rye, or green chile sourdough, depending on what's available. Sometimes we get their frozen loaves so we can save one in our freezer for the following week. In the warmer months / farmer's market season, they typically have a small lunch menu which varies depending on availability. The staff are super real folk, no nonsense type who are polite but not overly polite, if you know what I mean:) which I can fully respect. We sample anything and everything that we come across that is vegan, and have never been disappointed. Really this review is a rave about their baguettes, because they are exceptional... they open at 11a which seems unusual, but is worth the wait if you're in their part of town read more

Really? The store is only open two days a week, now? Must be nice to be independently wealthy. On all four occasions that I have purchased their bread, it's been burnt. This may be a new fad that I missed but, for me, burnt is burnt. I was not impressed, and have taken my purchasing power elsewhere. read more

I was referred here for the empanadas, but have not yet tried them. If they're better n what I did try -- wow! Rustic baguette had the best crust and crumb I've had in New Mexico. I asked which was their best scone, and was told that while the Green Chile Cheddar sells out, they favored the apricot ginger. It was light. It was tasy. It was perhaps the best scone I've ever had! read more

They've doubled their menu since I last posted, so time for an update: they are now serving savory empanadas- chicken tinga + carne adovada. Both are flavorful and not heavy, a perfect snack or light meal. Sandwiches! Carne adovada on sweet potato sage bread w/vinaigrette; green chile turkey on sourdough; pb + j; others i can't remember. Everything is good. Seriously. They often sell out of my faves by the end of the day. Great little seating area to hang out or wait for your sandwich to be toasted. Hours: Wed-Fri 11-6, Sat 9-4. read more

I love love love their green chile sourdough bread!!! I make sure to get some every time I'm in Albuquerque. Chocolate chips are also amazing! I wish I had a Bosque Bakery in the Bay Area! read more

The Savory empanadas were a yummy treat

A true hidden gem!! I can't get enough of the green chile sourdough bread...my only disappointment, and really what probably makes this place so wonderful, is that they frequently run out:( this is a small scale bakery with well crafted breads, sandwiches, and amazing cookies and empanadas. They have pretty limited hours and, like I said, more than a few times I've trekked all the way over and they've been out if what I came for....but so worth it. read more

Seriously WOW! My son and I are in Albuquerque trying to sample as many bakeries as we can (he's an aspiring baker) and we actually stopped at Bosque Baking Co as we arrived in town. Boy, were we glad we did! The people working there were so friendly and the smell was indescribably amazing. We purchased a Green Chili Sourdough bread and two fruit empanadas (apricot and mixed berry) and headed to our friends' house barely able to keep ourselves from tearing into our goodies. When we got to our destination, we cut into the loaf and it was just heavenly! We cut up the empanadas to share and oh man... So good!! The next day we hunted them down at the Downtown Growers' Market and purchased an Olive Rosemary loaf which proved to be as outstanding as the first bread we ate. We tried many bakeries while we've been here and Bosque was clearly our favorite. We will be back! read more

My boss took me here earlier this year and I loved it. The green Chile sourdough bread was amazing. I went back last week and bought some and it was barely edible. It had so much salt no one in my family could eat it. I tried making a soup and dipping it in the soup thinking that would help offset the salt and that didn't even help. I think I got some bad bread. I threw it out. It was such a disappointment after having such tasty bread some months ago. read more

I've only tried the green chile sourdough (I think that's what it was) bread from here, but I think I ate half the loaf when I took it to a party. It was delicious! I've heard they started selling lunch too, but haven't had a chance to make it over there again. Based on the previous loaf, i can't imagine it's anything but awesome. read more
