ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An Italian-inspired coffee shop has opened its doors in Albuquerque’s Old Town, and to some people, they may see a familiar face behind the counter.
Vincenzo Brigante, the sous chef at Crème de la Crème inside Sawmill Market, is the co-owner and leader of Caffè Enzo, located at 2044 S Plaza St. NW in Old Town. There, Brigante and his wife, Evelyn, are serving seasonal artisan drinks, bites, and pastries.
“We offer different, unique Italian-style pastries. You see a lot of the influence, though, still that pours over from the pastry work that we did with Crème de la Crème, where we actually want to do artisan biscotti. We’re doing Kouign-Amann. We’re also offering panini for a savory pairing,” Brigante said…
