1. Golden Crown Panaderia
Golden Crown Panaderia is a family-owned, neighborhood bakery that crafts sensational sandwiches and offers an impressive variety of empanadas with fillings such as blueberry, sweet potato and raspberry. They’re known for their green chile bread and traditional biscochitos, New Mexico’s state cookie. Biscochitos are a bit like shortbread. Golden Crown has flavors of anise, cinnamon and orange, and the New Mexican holiday season isn’t the same without them.
If you can’t get there during business hours, pay a visit to the Golden Crown ATM, which serves treats 24/7. The cookie ATM is stocked with some of their signature items, including cookies by the dozen, three packs of empanadas and bread loaves.
