Eldora chocolate is made with sustainably sourced, organic, natural, and fair trade ingredients. Suppliers are viewed as partners, and a percentage of all profits go to support Kiva, Heirloom Cacao Project & Rainforest Project.

Wood-fired pizza kitchen
Hawt Pizza Co.
Hawt Pizza Co. serves up artisan wood-fired pizza that is not quite Neapolitan, not quite NY style, but somewhere perfectly in between. Started as a mobile catering company, Hawt (formerly Firenze) gained a following at the Downtown Growers Market in 2011/12 and has continued to cater private and special events with their mobile wood-fired oven since. Co-owners Felicia Meyer and Seth Beckley are excited to put down roots and make new fans in their first store at the Sawmill Market ABQ. Chef Felicia Meyer’s offerings will include local favorites like the classic pizza Margherita and the creamy NM White along with new recipes that marry Italian and NY pizza styles. Rotating seasonal pies and calzones, a new menu of pressed panini and fresh salads will be made sourcing local meats, cheeses and produce, and their craft beverages like the popular Organic Lavender Lemonade will also be available at the Sawmill Market.
HAWT is an acronym for Have A Wonderful Time.

A tiny pasta shop
Tulipani
Tulipani is a tiny pasta shop that offers a changing line of artisanal, fresh pastas that are made in small batches using the best organic flour, eggs, and seasonal ingredients available. The recipes pay homage to tradition while also integrating local flavors. When Tulipani (then, “ñocco”) first began in a shared kitchen space downtown, it’s pastas were sold in CSA boxes at Skarsgard Farms. Over the past few years, Tulipani has gained a growing following at the farmer’s markets and popups around Albuquerque. Opening a space at the Sawmill Market is an exciting opportunity for Tulipani to grow to its offerings and to be a part of a thriving community space.

Taiyaki and Soft Serve Ice Cream
Neko Neko
Neko Neko will have its debut at the new Sawmill Market. We are a brand-new company with an exciting and fun concept. At Neko Neko, we serve Taiyaki and soft serve ice cream. Taiyaki in Japanese means “Sea Bream” and it is a Japanese fish shaped cake, normally filled with a sweet filling. Our taiyaki is a fish shaped cone that can be filled with soft serve ice cream or with other sweet fillings, then topped with delicious toppings. Taiyaki has been made popular in other states, and we’d love for our Albuquerque community to enjoy this fun dessert as well!
Neko Neko translates to “Cat Cat” in Japanese. We wanted a play on words and to have our consumers be the cats who enjoy their taiyaki fish desserts. Our dessert is very customizable and can be enjoyed by anyone.
It’s been a dream of ours to open our own business. We have our business background from our family’s restaurant experience. Our parents own the restaurant May Café for many years and seeing what they’ve accomplished this far along is inspiring. We are big foodies and love a diverse food scene. Being a part of the Sawmill Market means that we are contributing to a community-based concept that brings Albuquerque together through good food and company. We have been to many food halls and Sawmill Market is what Albuquerque/New Mexico needs. It’s an awesome hub for social gatherings and events. We are more than excited to be part of this project in growing our beautiful city. Albuquerque is in for a treat!
