Open since June 2022, Kaufman’s Coffee & Bagels is more than just a place to enjoy a cup of coffee (treat yourself to one of our favorites, an oatmilk honey lavender latte!) or a real-deal-NY-style-boiled bagel from the mind of a New York-to-New Mexico transplant himself. We’re a space for community and connection where people of all walks of life come together to share stories, laughter, and a genuine sense of belonging. Where the baristas know your name, and of course the hand-rolled, artisinal bagels are truly incredible too.
