Discover the Best Artisan Bread in Albuquerque

If you’re looking for the best artisan bread in Albuquerque, Sherwood Coffee 'n' Bread is where flavor, tradition, and quality come together. Our loaves are crafted with care, baked fresh in a traditional outdoor brick oven, and made to order. Whether you’re a bread enthusiast or simply want to enjoy healthier, better-tasting bread, here’s what makes our bread different - and better - than store-bought options.
1. Freshly Milled Whole Wheat Flour
Every loaf we bake contains freshly milled whole wheat flour - even our white breads! This adds nutrients, fiber, and a richer flavor that sets our bread apart from anything you’ll find at a grocery store. Freshly milled flour keeps our bread closer to its natural roots, providing both nutrition and taste in every bite.
2. Always Baked Fresh, Never Sitting on a Shelf

At Sherwood Coffee 'n' Bread, we bake by pre-order only. This ensures your loaf is baked specifically for you. Twice a week, we fire up our outdoor brick oven and bake fresh loaves to order. Unlike store-bought bread that sits on shelves for days, our bread is delivered fresh and ready to enjoy, giving you the freshest bread in Albuquerque.
3. No Additives or Preservatives
Our bread includes only the essentials: flour, water, salt, and yeast. We never use preservatives, additives, or stabilizers. This ensures a clean, natural flavor and a healthier option for you and your family. Store-bought bread can’t compete with this kind of purity.
4. Unbleached Flour for a Healthier Choice
We only use unbleached flour in all our bread. Unlike bleached flour, which is chemically processed, unbleached flour retains more natural nutrients and flavor. Choosing unbleached flour aligns with our commitment to providing healthier, better-tasting bread for the Albuquerque community.
5. Fermentation for Flavor and Digestibility
Most of our breads go through a long fermentation and cold-retarding process. This traditional method enhances the bread’s natural flavor and makes it easier to digest. Many of our customers tell us they can enjoy our bread even if they avoid store-bought options. It’s one more reason why we’re known for some of the best artisan bread in Albuquerque.
6. Baked in a Traditional Brick Oven

Our bread is baked in a traditional outdoor brick oven, giving it a texture and flavor you won’t find in commercially baked loaves. The high, consistent heat creates a perfectly crispy crust and a soft, airy interior. This method has been used for centuries and delivers the artisanal quality we’re proud to share with Albuquerque.
7. Supporting Local and Sustainable Practices
When you choose Sherwood Coffee 'n' Bread, you’re supporting a small, family-owned bakery dedicated to quality and tradition. As part of Albuquerque’s vibrant food scene, we’re proud to bring the community bread that’s handmade, sustainable, and always fresh.
