We’ve received so many wonderful questions about the ingredients behind our Halloween specials, so we wanted to share a little more about what goes into making them! 🧡

🌿 Green Monster — All About Pandan

Pandan is a tropical Southeast Asian plant (Pandanus amaryllifolius) with long, fragrant green leaves, often called the “vanilla of Southeast Asia.” Its unique aroma is sweet, grassy, and nutty, with hints of vanilla.

Since fresh pandan leaves are difficult to find locally, we use frozen leaves to make our own pandan extract, bringing that distinctive fragrance and flavor into our pastries. We add a little green color to achieve the bright green look of our little monster! 💚

👁️ Monster’s Eye — Black Sesame & Strawberry

We toast black sesame seeds and turn them into our own praline, adding a rich, nutty flavor to this spooky creation. Paired with our house-made strawberry jam and carefully crafted decorative details, every element is made to bring both flavor and fun to the pastry.

🎃 Pumpkin Patch Brioche

Pumpkin takes center stage in this fall favorite! We use pumpkin purée in both the brioche dough and the filling, bringing real pumpkin flavor to every bite.

At The Le Bakery, we love creating treats that are as fun to look at as they are delicious to eat. Whenever possible, we make our components from scratch, using real ingredients and homemade creations to bring our ideas to life.

From homemade pandan extract and strawberry jam to toasted black sesame praline and real pumpkin purée, every little detail is thoughtfully made in our kitchen. We want our Halloween treats to be playful, beautiful, and delicious, with the care and craftsmanship that go into everything we bake. 🧡

Thank you for supporting our little bakery and allowing us to share our love of baking with you. We can’t wait for you to try these spooky creations!

Balloon Fiesta is just around the corner… and our anxiety is at its peak again. 😄
We’ve been thinking about what we can create for our visitors—something unique, really good, and memorable enough to make them remember Albuquerque long after they leave.

At the same time, we want our regular customers to have something new to look forward to too. So this year, we’re bringing you a few brand-new creations and some updated versions of past favorites.

After working with way too many flavors and textures (yes, our lead baker is officially on a sugar crash every day now 😂), we decided to introduce:

🍵 Twice-Baked Matcha Raspberry Croissant
Our buttery croissant filled with matcha coconut frangipane and house-made raspberry jam, topped with more frangipane, then twice-baked until golden. Finished with matcha Swiss buttercream, freeze-dried raspberries, and fresh raspberries filled with raspberry jam.

🍪 Twice-Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie Croissant
An updated version of last year’s! (Sorry for the old photos—we didn’t have time to take and edit new ones yet! 😂)
Our chocolate croissant is filled with cookie frangipane and cookie dough, chocolate ganache, topped with more cookie frangipane and cookie dough, then twice-baked. Finished with a drizzle of chocolate ganache and salted caramel Swiss buttercream.

And because so many of you have been asking for chai and hojicha, we decided it was finally time to make them part of the menu:

🎃 Pumpkin Chai
Our very first chai! Made completely from scratch with all-natural spices and tea, blended with our house-made spiced syrup. Finished with pumpkin cream and salted caramel pumpkin.

🍂 Pumpkin Hojicha
Made with our Uji hojicha and house-made syrup, topped with pumpkin cream and pumpkin salted caramel.

A little something new for our visitors, a little something new for our regulars, and a whole lot of testing for us. 😂🎈 But we hope it’s all worth it.
Limited time only. Preorders are highly recommended. Please give us a call at 505-219-3152 to preorder!

Pumpkin season is here!

Since we’ll be featuring pumpkin throughout fall and winter, we truly believe our pumpkin pastries and drinks deserve their own post. ❤️

If pumpkin isn’t your favorite, don’t worry—we’ll always have plenty of other special flavors for you to enjoy!

For our pumpkin treats, we use fresh Kabocha or Red Kuri squash, depending on what we can find. Every squash is slow-roasted and blended into our own house-made pumpkin purée, and that purée goes into every pumpkin pastry and drink we make.

No canned pumpkin is used at our bakery. Not because it’s easier, but because we believe the extra time and effort make a difference in the final flavor.

From roasting the squash to preparing each treat from scratch, there’s a lot of love and work behind every pumpkin creation. 🎃🤎

We hope you’ll taste the difference—and feel the love in every bite.❤️❤️❤️

🍂🎃 Your Fall Favorites Are Back! 🎃🍂

The flavors of fall have returned to The Le Bakery! 🤎

🎃 Pumpkin Hazelnut Croissant
Our flaky, buttery croissant filled with pumpkin crème pâtissière, hazelnut praline paste, and pumpkin salted caramel, all made with real roasted pumpkin and roasted hazelnuts. Finished with more pumpkin salted caramel, whipped cream, and caramelized hazelnuts. (Available around 10 a.m. Preorders are recommended.)

🎃 Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cinnamon Brioche
Our soft brioche made with lots of roasted pumpkin purée, filled with pumpkin-spiced butter and sugar, then baked and finished with luscious cream cheese and spice salted caramel.

🍵☕ Pumpkin Matcha & Coffee
Your choice of premium matcha or coffee, swirled with our house-made pumpkin spice syrup and pumpkin salted caramel, then topped with a silky cloud of pumpkin cream.

Made from scratch, with real roasted pumpkin and plenty of love. 🤎

And just when you thought we were done… a NEW fall treat is coming next. 👀🍂
Stay tuned!

We know you’ve all been waiting for our fall menu… 🍂 But before we fully say goodbye to summer, we have one more little treat—maybe not so little: PEACHES! 🍑

Because we make everything from scratch, each new item takes a couple of weeks—or more—to prepare. From the jam and syrups to the creams, we test and adjust our recipes over and over again… and before we know it, fall is already on its way! 😅

So here’s another little taste of summer before we slowly welcome fall:

🍑 Jasmine & Peach Croissant
Our signature croissant filled with house-made organic peach jam, jasmine diplomat cream, slow-roasted peaches with brown sugar, and vanilla Chantilly cream.

🍑 Peach & Cream Matcha Latte / Coffee Latte
Our Uji matcha or strong espresso with house-made peach syrup and foamed milk, topped with peach cream and a piece of peach gently cooked in syrup.

🍑 Peach & Cream Hojicha
Our Uji hojicha with house-made peach syrup and foamed milk, topped with peach cream and a piece of peach gently cooked in syrup.

A little taste of summer while we get ready to welcome fall. 🍑

Try them before they’re gone!

🍵 SECRET REVEALED! 🇯🇵💚

Where did we go when we closed The Le Bakery for two weeks?

Japan—with one mission: to find a truly authentic, great-tasting matcha for our customers.

When we first opened, we never imagined how much our matcha would be loved. We started with a well-known Japanese brand through a third-party supplier. But in recent months, as matcha prices rose, we also saw the quality and consistency decline. We knew our customers deserved better.

So we went to Japan—with no Japanese, no connections, and no guarantee we would find what we were looking for.

From Tokyo to Kyoto, especially Uji, we visited 20+ matcha shops and producers, took a matcha class, and tasted countless matchas—all while traveling with our two kids through the hot, humid summer.

Many producers had limited quantities or weren’t accepting new businesses. But on our last day in Uji, we finally found it. 🍵💚

It costs us more, but after everything we went through to find it, we truly believe it’s worth it.

We don’t use “ceremonial grade” because it isn’t an official Japanese grade. We focus on origin, production, quality, and flavor.

Our new Uji Japanese Matcha is here at The Le Bakery. 💚
And more matcha desserts & pastries are coming soon!
