Flying Roadrunner Bakery - Mochaccino with ham and gruyere pastry. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I had been wanting to try this bakery for awhile now but for one reason or another it was always closed but I finally caught them open a couple weeks ago and we were finally able to buy some goodies. Well upon entering we could see that there was not much variety on the particular day we went around 12:30 pm so I ended up getting the last Cinnamon Roll and hubby got a pastry that I can't recall the name of. My hubby felt that the gal that walked up towards the counter to help us was rude and non communicative. I'm usually the one who notices these things but something about her demeanor really set my hubby off. So we quickly paid for our order and took off. Once we got home we brewed up some coffee so we could try our treats. I have to say that I was pretty let down. There is a lot of great reviews on this page for these pastries but unfortunately neither did I or hubby experience the same. My cinnamon roll was so dense and dry and the texture of the sugar glazing on top was so off putting in my mouth. Hubby ate his pastry and shared with me that he didn't care for it either. Maybe it was because my cinnamon roll was the last one and maybe it had been sitting out all morning. I will say that the location is in a nice area of old town. The shop is very cute and has ample seating. It just wasn't for us. Come out and give them a try read more

I wish I had room to try some of the pastries, they all looked incredible! We stopped by Flying Roadrunner Bakery to take a short break from sightseeing around Old Town Albuquerque and to grab something refreshing. I ordered a passion iced tea, which was perfectly balanced and hit the spot. It wasn't too busy during our visit, so we got to relax on a cozy couch and enjoy a quiet moment. There's plenty of seating, and I even saw someone working on a laptop. They also sell small local gifts and souvenirs. Such a lovely, relaxing café to unwind in! read more

I've been to Flying Roadrunner Bakery twice during my few work trips to ABQ. It's in a great location - old town Albuquerque - and features coffees, matcha, teas, and fresh-baked goods. No other place have I been able to try a green chile and gouda croissant. The pic I snapped didn't do it justice - buttery and flackey layers with a soft and chewy texture. Aside from the croissants and crossaint sandwiches, conchas are also a popular bread item. There's plenty of seating, outlets for laptops, murals to check out and local art for sale. It's also woman-owned. :) read more

Flying Roadrunner is absolutely the reason you should be hanging out in old town more. Seriously it's businesses like this that have made the area an absolute gem. On my most recent visit, I was able to try some of their more spring inspired treats, including a beautiful peach tart and their Cubano inspired croissant sandwich. Both were really amazing. I'm glad I planned on sharing them because I would have happily scarfed down both alone. They're always so friendly in the space is very warm. They have cool local art on the walls and just a lot of cute little details. I highly recommend keeping an eye out for their seasonal changes and inspired flavors. read more

Most flavorful Ruby Danish I ever had. Soft, moist and so "juicy"! I was lucky to arrive just in time at this bakery. Their cakes, pastries were about sold out. It's a spacious place so I can imagine lines and crowds forming in the early hours. Will definitely check it out again when in town and will arrive earlier. read more

Flying Roadrunner Bakery - Ruby Danish and Black Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Overall: Flying Roadrunner is a cute bakery and coffee shop in Old Town with some of the best croissants and danishes in town. Food: 5 Every pastry that I have tried here has been excellent. Pan Au Chocolate: This was perfectly flaky, and I like how the chocolate is spread out throughout the entire pastry rather than just one log at the center. Turkey Croissant Sandwich: I'm not usually a fan of sweet and savory but the tiny bit of strawberry jam in this savory sandwich was delicious. You can ask them to warm it up so the cheese is nice and melty! Chorizo & Cheese Croissant: This was a surprising filling for a croissant but it was delicious. Cinnamon Rolls: These are not your typical soft cinnamon rolls. It has an almost caramelized bottom that's slightly crispy. They're also GIGANTIC. Service: 5 The employees were very nice and patient while we decided on our orders. Ambiance: 5 The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a nice little spot to sit and just people watch at the center of Old Town. read more

Flying Roadrunner Bakery - Hibiscus croissant and lavender chocolate ganache croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The almond croissant had me raving. Crispy, with fluffy layers and an absolutely delicious almond cream. I was delighted by it! I stopped by around 1pm and there was still stock, but when I passed by again about an hour or so later, they had completely sold out. The place is decorated very nicely, but I felt it was lacking in seating. read more

Bake the Cycle Adorable family-owned and run bakery that "...specializes in french pastries with a New Mexican flare." We stopped in here on our last full day in ABQ to get a light bite and caffeineted to start our day, and it was a pleasant experience. The Good: *Located in Old Town Albuquerque, which is one a must-see if you're visiting ABQ. *Great décor with lots of local art showcased *Red Chile Mocha was fantastic as it showcased the harmonious balance between chocolate and chiles that everyone needs to try to believe. *Cruffins were flaky and buttery as advertised *Friendly service The Meh: *Biscochito Cruffin didn't have that classic anise and cinnamon flavor of a traditional Biscochito in the cream, only the tiny cookie. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious, but it would've been a flavor bomb if they'd flavored the cream. *Only street parking (i.e., metered) on Mon - Sat 0700 - 1800 (free on Sundays and holidays) Conclusion: Fantastic spot in Old Town to get high-quality baked goods and an excellent cup o' Joe. read more

I had never been to Flying Roadrunner Bakery before because I rarely go to Old Town to begin with. So, it was so delightful to find this store nestled in Oldtown, just a block from the main Old town plaza. I had a chance to try their pumpkin cream croissant (seasonal one!) and an iced honey lavendor coffee...and it was so tasty! I had a scumptious breakfast being one of the very few people who stopped by right after the place opened up for the day (they open at 8am and are closed at 3pm..but they may run out of croissants earlier depending on foot traffic that day!). The croissants were crisps, peeled appropriately in layers and were airy light that I felt great as I inhaled them! Having it together with an iced honey lavender latte...I was in such a great moment enjoying their instagram-worthy interior in a quiet, calm and chilled manner. What a great way to start the day with such sense of calmness and tasty treats! I also got 3 additional croissants/cruffin (chai cream croissant, nutella cruffin and turkey crossant sandwich) to go! I meant...who could ignore when my eyes lit up and were bigger than my stomach that I wanted to try so many things from Flying Roadrunner! Thank you for such a wonderful experience and an introduction to this wonderful shop in Old Town. I had no idea this place opened up 2.5 years ago..and was plesantly surprised how easy it was to find parking around the area early in the morning. I would definitely think of returning/taking visitors there in the morning to beat the crowd and get these tasty homemade treats again! (the owner told me they wake up to bake everything fresh..at 3am everyday!). So you out there..please don't complain about this shop..when they were working their butts off while we all enjoy our early morning sleeping in bed! Thanks for the wonderful treats + friendly service in a beautiful, tastefully decorated space! I shall be back some time again! read more

Holy cannoli! Okay, personally I only give 5 stars if a place leaves me craving it again. Let me tell you, Flying Roadrunner is crave-worthy! I HAD to ask where the chefs went to school to learn how to make these delectable treats and guess what they said?! They are self taught! What?! Do you know how challenging it is to make flakey crispy croissants on the outside that are light and buttery on the inside?! These little pastries are treasures! You're probably thinking "This is such a dramatic review" but I HAVE to emphasize that these little pastries bring joy with every bite. I couldn't decide if I wanted sweet or savory so obviously I got both. The Turkey croissant sandwich with havarti jam, baby greens, and garlic butter was fantastic! Chef's kiss! I don't rave about a lot of places, but I will rave about this one. If you're a pastry / coffee person then Flying Roadrunner MUST be on your "to try list". Dude...so good. So so so good. read more

Tried it out for the first time today. Me and my husband got the Persimmon crouffin, Pistachio croissant, Chocolate croissant , and cinnamon rolls! Everything so far has been delicious, the pistachio croissant didn't even make it home, that's how good it was. Can't wait to continue trying more of this delicious dessert spot in NM! read more

I consider myself an almond croissant connoisseur and this place did not disappoint. It is the BEST almond croissant I've ever had and I'm so sad I'm not a local and can't get them on a regular basis. I loved how the filling was whipped, creamy, and light. So so delicious and a must try. read more

Great pastries and people! I ordered a cherry and blue berry danish and a strawberry cruffin. All three were amazing and too much for just one person. The line moved really fast and the service was still great. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

The smell of fresh baked cinnamon rolls filled the air when we walked in this morning . I just had to have one and I'm glad I did. So delicious although a tough decision since all of the pastries looked wonderful. I also ordered a Lavender Latte which was also heavenly. Highly Recommend along!!! read more

Service was good overall. I was a bit thrown off as I got my items to go style. I had clearly sat down to do some work and was given a to go cup for my latte and a to go bag for my croissant. It took away from the experience I was looking for to sit down with a cup of coffee. It felt rushed, if anything. Having said that, their pastries are extremely worth stopping in for. The coffee/lattes fell in the Fair category for me. Definitely stop by for the pastries. Overall, I had a good experience. I was just looking for a calming environment with a cup of joe. Not a to go, a cup of Joe. Location is ideal and a nice touristy location. read more

Flying Roadrunner Bakery - ABQ artistry on the wall - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I am certainly a fan of Flying Roadrunner Bakery. They service is always friendly and promptly as you walk in the door you are greeted. You will find it nestled in the nook of the small plaza with the fountain in Old Town. It is worth the trek to find if you haven't ventured over yet. The pastries are a treat for the eyes. I would be surprised if the sight of them alone didn't persuade you to have one...or two. You can absolutely share one, if you are feeling up to it. The croissants are delicious, I am a fan of the sandwich with turkey, havarti cheese and jam, it hits every time. The nutella and strawberry croissant is so good, but messy, beware. The key lime croissant was also a must try. I haven't had the change to the cinnamon roll yet, it is on my list of things to do. I don't doubt that all the pastries served here are delightful. read more

What a cute coffee shop/bakery right in the old town. When we went there they had Christmas decorations on, which made the shop even more cuter. I tried their Cappuccino only. It was alright. Nothing to stand out honestly. I liked their togo cup though. Also, I found out that they don't have too much of sitting area. It's better to hang out there a little bit and then walk around old town. read more

First let me start with the croissants. They are extraordinary! I came for a coffee but left raving about the croissants. There are big and flakey, with so many layers of happiness. We had the green chili, turkey sandwich, almond, and chocolate croissants. All 4 were amazing. I was sad we didn't get extras for the next day lol. Truly great baking! The coffee was good as well. The owners were kind and pleasant. Great place to stop for coffee and croissants. Highly recommend! We will be back the next time we are in town. I only wish they were closer to us! read more

What a cute little spot in the heart of Old Town Alburquerque! In desperate need of caffeine before jumping onto the bus for the Breaking Bad Tour, I quickly popped into Flying Roadrunner and immediately fell in love! To start, the space is beyond adorable. It's farmhouse chic meets cozy local joint and adorned with local cute artwork, local goodies and friendly faces. The mural wall is cutesy and is the perfect backdrop for photos and the case up front is filled with house made delicious items - including fresh croissants, pastries, cakes and more - sure to make anyone hungry! I made my way to the counter, requested an iced coffee with a splash of cream and within minutes it was ready to enjoy. When in the area again, I'd easily enjoy another coffee (and breakfast!) at this quaint little gem! read more

The croissant alone gets this place 5 stars! Probably one of the best I have had in a long time. Flakey buttery and made fresh every day. I had the green chili cheese croissant which some how they were able to maintain the layers and lightness. The latte was okay, but with a croissant this good the coffee is irrelevant. read more

This place is incredible. They have the most amazing pastries (savory and sweet) and the vibe is cute and cozy. My husband and I like to walk here from our house. The service is always friendly and kind. I wish they would have the menu up on the wall. They had one before but the text was tiny and hard to read at a distance. They now only have the drink menu printed up by the register which always gets me a little flustered. Overall so awesome though. They do frequently sell out though (yes, they are that good). You gotta check it out! read more

Probably some of the best baked goods in town. Very comfortable establishment to visit as well.

Soooo good. We shared two croissants: mushroom spinach parmesan, and almond. We loved both... croissants were flaky on the outside and the perfect texture inside. The seasoning on the savory one and the sweetness on the almond one were just right. read more

This is a average size type of bakery in old town. Parking can be difficult so plan accordingly and plan to walk if you can't find a lose parking spot. The bakery is quite rustic type of style with modern style. It depicts homy vibes. At around 1130 they already out of their pastries and bread. Or can be quite disappointing if you had planned to get various different Pastries. Per owner they sell quite fast and thus the early bird gets the worm. There is plenty of room to sit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. They also have a little area in which they sell crotchet items. We ended getting a matcha drink and cup of coffee. The owner is a very pleasant young lady that is willing to help you and offer suggestions. All in all is a place to try when you are on old town. read more

This is my new favorite bakery in Albuquerque and my only regret is not finding it sooner. I tried the ham and cheese savory croissant, and an almond croissant and it nearly knocked me off my chair. So flaky and buttery, I felt like I was back in France. Highly recommend and cannot wait to go back. read more

With so many shops around it the Flying Roadrunner Bakery is a relaxing place where you can enjoy a flakey croissant. It is french pastries with a New Mexican flare. A very clean and charming bakery. Croissants from butter to pastry, and breakfast burritos. Not only latte's, tea and coffee Americano. The decor has the charm of grandma's kitchen. They have artist work, a good variety. We had chai lattes, the flavor was devine, 1/4" froth, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. We shared a cinnamon roll that was baked through with cinnamon. The whipped icing light and lightly sweet. An egg, potato, green chili, cheese breakfast burrito that had good mixture of flavors. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. Do yourself a favor and stop in. read more
