    Large Mexican latte
    Kim D.

    One of my preferred Flying Star locations in Albuquerque. They always have friendly staff, a large dining room with lots of tables and power outlets, and consistently delicious food. They have a decent size parking lot and some surrounding street parking, but can get full especially on the weekends. If you're in a rush, they have a good mobile app to make ordering and using rewards easy. Enjoy and happy branching!

    Very cool Place to hang out and get work done or chat with your friends. Solid offering for food and the fruit drinks were great. I will definitely go back to try some more items on the menu.

    Nice eclectic fresh food restaurant that's order at the counter. Delicious looking desserts in their bakery case and a wide selection of teas and other beverages. So glad I stopped here. Will definitely be back the grilled fish tacos were great and the Keylime pie excellent

    I was tired of eating at the hotel during my Covid era work visit to Albuquerque. So I ventured out. I am a retro diner fiend and this place caught my eye. Glad it did. Order at the counter, get your number and wait for your plate. The food is upscale diner good. Fresh ingredients, cooked to order. Nice sized helpings. Came out pretty fast! The French dip I had was packed with beef. The au jus was plentiful - I hate little cups. I want it to soak that bread! And their slaw was creamy tart and tasty. But I going back for breakfast. The lunch menu was tasty and the coffee made to order is a bonus. However the breakfast looked to die for! Look, it's not on a top 10 list or a Triple D show. But this is a solid diner experience.

    This stewpot chicken beat all my expectations! Their burgers are also the best. They have amazing service and the store itself has a great vibe. I love this place and will keep coming back

    Fish and chips
    Amaya M.

    Usually I am a big fan of flying star, but this busy left me underwhelmed. The food took about 20 minutes to get to the table after ordering. I had the fish and chips and thought it was just alright. My partner had the rise and shine which fell apart before he was able to take a single bite. It was fairly busy but the waitstaff did a good job keeping tables clean and anticipating needs. Overall a nice casual place but a bit overpriced for the experience.

    Vegan street tacos! Aloha Pineapple : fruit blended drink

    5/30/21 I was passing through on my way to California. Decided to come for the vegan street tacos. The customer service was great. The food was excellent.

    This is a great place to hang out in the morning, drink endless cups of coffee, maybe do some work. The food is quite good.

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.

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.

I was greeted…read moreimmediately by multiple employees, and the guy at the counter was incredibly friendly and personable. He even joked that they were "out of everything," which got a laugh and set a fun, relaxed tone. The music was rocking when I walked in, which I loved, although it eventually switched to something a little more mellow. Still, the overall atmosphere was inviting and made me want to stick around. I ordered an Iced Americano, and it was solid. You can tell they use quality espresso, but I personally would have liked it just a bit stronger. Next time, I'll probably ask for an extra shot to make it perfect for my taste. The real standout was the cinnamon roll. It had the ideal texture with a gooey, cinnamon-filled center, and they certainly didn't skimp on the cream cheese frosting. There was enough frosting to induce a sugar overdose, in a good way. The shop itself was clean, comfortable, and designed to make you want to stay awhile. They have a huge selection of board games and LEGO sets, so you could easily spend a couple of hours hanging out with friends or family. I also asked about the stage and learned they host karaoke and open mic nights a couple of evenings each week, which adds another fun reason to come back. Between the genuinely friendly staff, quality coffee, incredible cinnamon roll, and welcoming atmosphere, this is a place I'll definitely be visiting again.
