Ihatov Bread and Coffee
3400 Central Ave SE, Albuquerque, NM
Crema's Take
“Ihatov Bread and Coffee is a rare find that takes both halves of its name seriously—their in-house bakery turns out exceptional sourdough and European-style pastries that sell out regularly, while their coffee program showcases thoughtful specialty drinks served in charming cups. The welcoming atmosphere, complete with outdoor seating and a fireplace, makes it feel like a genuine gathering spot rather than just a caffeine pit stop, and the team clearly takes pride in both their craft and hospitality. Whether you're stopping by for a buttery croissant and espresso or settling in for an afternoon over mint chamomile tea, this Albuquerque gem delivers the kind of intentional, quality-focused experience that specialty coffee lovers travel for.”

Amazing place for exceptional bread and coffee offerings. We love to find unique coffee places in our travels and Ihatov did not disappoint. While we couldn’t try all of the delicious bread offerings we can recommend the scones along with the ham and cheese croissants. The staff was friendly and the seating was cozy and plentiful both inside and outside. Would highly recommend making this spot a daily routine.
Nice selection of freshly made sourdough breads, sweet and savory pastries, including holiday stollen and challah perfect for Christmas. They do slice bread when asked which is a plus. Excellent espresso drinks. Cafe has indoor and outdoor sitting areas, though waiting area can get crowded quickly. Easy to park in adjacent parking lot or street parking.
Fantastic bakery serving a variety of beautiful worldwide breads, pastries and excellent coffee served in adorable coffee cups. Popular hotspot where the croissant and pastry varieties sell out quickly. Grab what you’d like early as they will not be restocked. A handful of interior tables along with window bar seating and an outdoor patio. Parking lot and street parking available for convenience. Friendly staff and lively atmosphere filled with life’s chatter.
Cool atmosphere with fresh baked goods. The bacon and spinach quiche was good but not super flavorful. The almond croissant was delicious! The mint chamomile lemon tea was good and coffee was average. Cute place for a quick pastry, indoor and outdoor seating
This place is spectacular…… the service was great—attentive and helpful. The ambiance is wonderful—great seating inside and outside…. a fire place to boot. Even being on more of major road it never felt loud. Great in-house dishes if you choose to stay. The facility is very clean and well put together. And the smell of the fresh baked goods is permeating throughout! Now the pastries….. oh my god!!!!!!! The texture, the flavor, the selection. Magnificent! Great mix of sweet and savory to choose from. I got this peach thing—it’s was crisp and flakey, buttery texture to your lips, burst of fresh peach…absolutely magnificent. If I lived locally, I would be here allllll the time! 10/10
