CNM alum Sarah Ciccotello and her husband and business partner Chris McQuary, owners of The Burque Bakehouse, have been selling baked goods at the Downtown Market and Rail Yards Market since 2015. Nowadays, they operate the business out of a small storefront in the South Broadway neighborhood while a constant flow of Burqueños patiently wait outside to buy perfectly crafted sugary and savory treats.
The bakery specializes in Viennoiserie and sourdough breads. Viennoiserie is the French word for baked goods made in a style originating from Vienna, Austria and examples include a variety of croissants and Danishes.
“Most of our items are crafted over days,” Sarah says. “The time, effort, and skill that goes into their preparation makes them all unique.”
Sarah is from Colorado and Chris is from Northern Virginia. They spent many years in the food service industry but eventually wanted their own business. “I felt it was time to strike out and create The Burque Bakehouse,” Sarah says.
Before founding The Burque Bakehouse, Sarah studied in the Culinary Arts program at CNM.
“I loved my experience at CNM,” she says. “From the introductory classes to the labs, CNM helped me realize that I was on the correct path.” Chef Kerry Knoop’s class in particular helped her realize baking is “where I belonged within the culinary world.” After CNM she studied at the San Francisco Baking Institute and then returned to New Mexico to start her business.
The Burque Bakehouse has a walk-up location at 640 Broadway SE that’s open Thursday - Sunday from 8am-2pm (or when they sell out). You can also find limited items locally at Zendo Coffee, and Cutbow Coffee. You can order items for delivery from Skarsgard Farms.
