Crema's Take

This beloved Albuquerque spot has earned serious bagel credentials with their handmade creations that rival New York standards, drawing families and bagel converts alike who rave about the Kaufman's special and fresh schmear combinations. Beyond the standout bagels, they've mastered the art of the quick, welcoming breakfast stop where staff move fast, keep things spotless, and genuinely make space for kids and multi-generational groups to linger over coffee and conversation.

First time customer to Kaufman's Coffee & Bagels. I recently traveled to New York and had the best bagel and schmear ever. My husband and I decided to stop in, in the hope of having something similar; unfortunately it was not anything like what we had in NY. I had a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. The bagel was over toasted and on the small side. I didnt taste blueberry in the bagel nor did the cream cheese taste like strawberries, both were not very flavorful. I would compare the bagel and cream cheese to store bought bagels and store bought cream cheese. My husband tried the breakfast sandwich and it was an average breakfast sandwich. I don't think I'll be back.

Came here with my mom and kids for lunch. I have never had a bagel this good. I got the Kaufman’s special and it was absolutely divine. They were great with my kids too. They were happy to accommodate my toddler’s odd tastes and they told us which bathroom has a changing table in it.

Finally got a chance to stop in and try this place. The place was busy but the service was fast. The food was delicious and place was super clean. We enjoyed our breakfast sandwiches and bagels with cream cheese. We also got pumpkin spice, iced latte and an iced tea. It's a cute little spot to stop if you're down at the zoo or the aquarium for a quick breakfast.

I wasn’t a big bagel fan until I stopped by this place! They make fresh, handmade bagels that are absolutely delicious. I ordered a smoked salmon cream cheese bagel, and my friend got a cream cheese bagel. We also tried the vanilla latte—everything was fresh, tasty, and satisfying. The shop is very clean, and the staff is super friendly. I loved that there’s a window where you can watch them make the bagels—it’s fun and transparent. Definitely a must-visit for bagel and coffee lovers

I want to support a local business making handmade bagels but…for $3 and change per bagel these are a disaster, overdone and misshaped. . The counter person put the in a paper bag, so I didn’t see them until I got home. Bagels used to be better when you first opened. This is not the first time this has happened to me in the last year . Last time for me at you store.
