Golden Crown Panaderia

What an amazing Albuquerque treasure! First time customer and we loved it. Fresh bisscochittos, bread loaves, empanadas, coffee.
We sampled the empanadas, cookies and coffee. All fantastic and freshly made.
Very friendly service and Mr Morales is a treat to meet.

Enjoy real Albuquerque one morning!

Neighborhood feel restaurant with all their Biscochito on display. A few tables inside and a lot more on the patio.

Parking is available at the restaurant, but also street parking.

Multiple options on how to order food, through the tablet, QR code or at the counter... I think that's way too many options. And I'd really rather have a person interaction.

The pizza is made just right, at least the way I like it.

Haven't tried the biscochitos yet, I'll update in a bit.

Biscochitos are one of my favorite cookies. They melt in your mouth and have a cinnamon sugar outside. I was looking for a place to get some and found this gem. The staff were friendly and I was able to go in and get my cookies. I got 1 dozen original and 1 dozen chocolate and they were delicious. Next time I hope to try the other flavors they have. Price was reasonable, 12 cookies for $8 but my car smelled so good for the rest of the day.

So glad we stopped here for lunch. The green chile crust was delicious. Crisp, but not too thin, bubbly on the edges, ample toppings, and thick pepperoni with a hint of spice. Super friendly and helpful staff. Cute interior with small seating area, plus large patio.

After a good breakfast time to have dessert. We stopped here for sweets. You can't miss the building - it's well marked. Small gravel parking lot that had some spots available. It's difficult to navigate to the entrance if you have mobility issues. Really small store with 4-5 tables to enjoy a pastry & coffee. The bakery area is equally small, the cases are almost exclusively filled with biscochitos. Turnovers, empanadas & danishes are hidden from view. We ordered an apricot & lemon empanada from an iPad on the counter. They were delicious, well stuffed & small, but not made with excessive crust in the side. The crust was good - maybe made with biscochito dough? I could taste just a hint of pepper. They also have pizzas on the menu, we're going to have to go back for one of those (biscochito too). If the pizza is as good as the empanadas it'll be a treat.

I had the salami and provolone sandwich which was yummy and came with chips and queso. I knew I had to try the biscochitos so I ordered the capuccino one which tasted like a churro cookie!

Unfortunately a lot of the items were sold out and so I suggest going early. Also, the teas I ordered (white pomegranate and raspberry tea) were more watered down than I would have preferred.

Overall this a great bakery and a ABQ staple!

Golden crown panaderia .Our first time here! The pizza is so yummy and the bread omg the bread! and the biscochittos, so many varieties. And of course you can't leave without a loaf of green chili bread. We were fortunate enough to meet the owner, Mr Morales he has created a labor of love and we definitely will be back. Can't recommend enough.

Good morning from chilly central New Mexico where Tom Neiman and Jim Tritten join Air Force veteran Pratt Morales, owner of the Golden Crown Panaderia, a hometown bakery with a national reputation for excellence. Located in between Old Town and New Town, our party of veterans from the Creative Writing Group thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - and we promise you will too. Good food, good service, and a unique atmosphere. Just click on the following YouTube link to see the pizza and sandwiches we enjoyed in this remarkable eating establishment. https://youtu.be/p6O9hClxN38?si=mu23TNCvOZvNkLGr

The biscochitos are delicious and the prices are amazing here. The staff was super kind and friendly. I highly recommend the blue corn biscochito. Lots of good seating indoor and outdoor.

Meeting up with an artist friend for lunch in ABQ and he said this was the place. The food, service and ambiance were all solid gold!

So we decided on a pizza to be split among the three of us---Supreme, with blue corn meal crust, and some jasmine pearl iced teas. The pizza was so good--thin, crisp crust, loaded with fresh toppings and the best sauce, too. We enjoyed the outside covered patio, even if it was 93 degrees outside...it's a dry heat, you know! We talked to the owner, Pratt Morales, and he explained about the business with several humorous anecdotes. Such a great guy, as was his son, Chris. They truly love the baking business!

Oh, don't even think about passing on some baked goods--Green Chile Bread, Biscochitos, fruit Empanadas, or even a shake or ice cream--to top off your visit to Golden Crown Panaderia. Well worth the wait, and the trip to Albuquerque. You'll enjoy the food, as well as the staff. Great place! Also, if they're busy or closed, check out the "baked goods" vending machine outside the door. Genius!!!
