    a variety of cookies
    Jean C.

    Oh my goodness. This place is amazing. So many yummy choices. They make gold bars like we used to get in school lunches. The cookies are decorated beautifully and they are so good. The owners are great too.

    12 macarons, 3 each of cookies 'n cream, matcha, chantilly, lavender
    Emann B.

    I was invited to dinner and wanted to bring something sweet for our hosts. I googled "best bakery in Albuquerque" and the search lead me to ABQ Sweet Spot. They have truly earned that designation! It's a small shop, but offers a wide variety of treats. The service is top notch, and the man I spoke to (I think he was the owner) was so kind and charming. We got an assortment of macarons, two coconut cream cupcakes, and a pistachio pudding. I didn't try the macarons as they were a gift, but apparently they were a big hit with our hosts. The cupcakes were moist, nice crumb, and not too sweet with a balanced icing/cake ratio. Pistachio pudding was a good size and enjoyed over a few days. Very tasty and again, not too sweet. I now have a soft spot for Sweet Spot!

    I was recommended this place by a relative, and guess what, they have keto friendly choices here! I decided to stop in and purchase some goodies for that same relative, including a dozen of their macarons, an aloha cookie, a whoopie cookie *hello whipped cream* and a few cuppies for me and my daughter which were quite tasty. I am taking inventory of my bakery options over here on the westside, and this is a lovely addition to the repertoire. What it does, it does well.

    Valentines Day

    So it's almost Valentines Day and looking for sweet treat to give & it's got to be local. We've had cookies from Sweet Spot before and they were pretty good. I'm not a big fan of decorated sugar cookies, but it's not about me. So after a short wait - 1 family at a time. I went inside. It's a small shop with plenty of goodies. The first case I saw were the V Day cookies. They were well decorated and appetizing - works of art. Almost seemed ashamed to eat them. The next case held things that were more to my liking. Cup cakes, tarts and macarons. I bought the cookies for Valentines Day and a key lime tart (key lime with a graham cracker crust topped with a dollop of whipped cream). That hit my spot and the cookies made the recipient happy. We'll be back for cake pops next. Another hidden local gem that rates a visit. There's something for everyone.

    Royal Icing readily available cookies $3.50
    Alicia C.

    Royal icing cookies ($3.50) are readily available and delicious. Unfortunately I didn't see the label on the back, 2 of them had almond extract so I couldn't eat them, however one was funfetti and I was able to eat it. Cupcake was unfortunately stale so I will not be repurchasing those again. Staff member assisting at register was friendly and welcoming.

    Chantilly Berry Cake
    Jillian R.

    Thank you ABQ Sweet Spot for my amazing Birthday cake and gorgeous cookies! The almond sugar cookies were not only gorgeous it were fresh and melt in your mouth delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness. The chantilly berry cake was beautiful and did not disappoint. A splurge but totally worth every penny.

    The cake in the first picture is what I showed the baker and the cake in the second picture is what I received. I picked up the cake the day of the baby shower.. all I can say is the pictures have all of the words I could say... very disappointed and do not know how this could be messed up or relatively close & given to a paying customer..

    Cookies!
    Rebecca F.

    Such a fun local bakery!! I've had the cookies and macarons here, and both have been super good. The cookies are adorably decorated, and they come in different flavors (almond, vanilla, lemon, funfetti). You can get a dozen cookies for about $27, which is cheaper than buying individually. I like that they've got fun designs for the seasons, like nerdy turkeys for Thanksgiving. And from their Instagram photos, they do an incredible job with custom orders. I'll definitely be coming here for specific party favors and treats!

    I have been wanting to try a hot chocolate bombs and I found a great selection at ABQ Sweet Spot! I bought three different flavors and will definitely be back for more! I think Santa will be filling stockings with these. This is a great little spot for satisfy any sweet tooth. It's local and the owner was so friendly. Give them a

    This bakery showed up a couple streets down from us and we couldn't wait to give it a try. We were not disappointed! From the minute you walk in you can smell the goodness. We tried a variety of different options and each one was delicious. Sent my husband and kiddos there a second time to pick up some teacher gifts and they came home with the cutest cookies. Being a NM native I am partial to all things 505 and was super excited to see the NM flag cookie, which was funfetti no less! This will be our go to sweet spot from now on.

They do walk-up service only. You order at the window. I love how casual this place is on the outside. But inside, it's all business when you peek in while you wait for someone to take your order. Their open-air display case is a fantasy to behold. With its beautifully arranged with enticing treats. You'll have a hard time deciding. I've tried several of their pastries and enjoyed each one. Sweet favorites are any of the toasts. My most recent one was their seasonal Peach Raspberry Toast. Of their savory options, the Elote Croissant Cup is fun and worth trying. You can't go wrong with anything you order. Go for your favorite flavors or try something completely new. Try to get there early. They tend to run out.

We came Saturday morning and I was expecting a long line but we only had a few people ahead of us. We go the last green chile croissant and I'm so glad we got to try it because it was amazing. Also loved the red chile sourdough loaf. The elote cup thing didn't hold together well but overall everything was amazing and it was a great start to our New Mexico trip. If we had more days in ABQ, I would've totally come back. Also, had their own parking lot and easy to park. We ended up eating in the car with the AC on.

Amazing sandwich, fresh, delicious! While we were enjoying our food, Pratt Morales, the owner and master baker, came out and talked to us for a while. This was a real treat, great positive attitude and love for what he does. He even introduced us to one of his specialties the Turkey shaped bread he makes for Thanksgiving. So popular now he gets hundreds of orders per year. We left with some biscochitos and other cookies to go, and a desire to try more things when we are back in Albuquerque.

I was greeted…read moreimmediately by multiple employees, and the guy at the counter was incredibly friendly and personable. He even joked that they were "out of everything," which got a laugh and set a fun, relaxed tone. The music was rocking when I walked in, which I loved, although it eventually switched to something a little more mellow. Still, the overall atmosphere was inviting and made me want to stick around. I ordered an Iced Americano, and it was solid. You can tell they use quality espresso, but I personally would have liked it just a bit stronger. Next time, I'll probably ask for an extra shot to make it perfect for my taste. The real standout was the cinnamon roll. It had the ideal texture with a gooey, cinnamon-filled center, and they certainly didn't skimp on the cream cheese frosting. There was enough frosting to induce a sugar overdose, in a good way. The shop itself was clean, comfortable, and designed to make you want to stay awhile. They have a huge selection of board games and LEGO sets, so you could easily spend a couple of hours hanging out with friends or family. I also asked about the stage and learned they host karaoke and open mic nights a couple of evenings each week, which adds another fun reason to come back. Between the genuinely friendly staff, quality coffee, incredible cinnamon roll, and welcoming atmosphere, this is a place I'll definitely be visiting again.

Friendly service and faces always warm up a cold morning, and we definitely got that at Los Ranchos Bakery. The menu is simple and the baked goods look great! We ordered the breakfast sandwich with bacon and green chile cheddar bagel, a lavender latte, and a red chile mocha. A cherry tart and a cinnamon roll to go. The drinks were, unfortunately, missing a few ounces and flavor. The sandwiches were smaller than I expected. The bagel had a hint of heat and chile. It was perfectly toasted and held the egg and bacon quite well. The bacon was crispy and the egg was well done. It was filling in the end. The baked goods will have to wait until tonight but I've had their scones before and they were excellent! I'm betting on excellence on the tart and cinnamon roll. Overall, this is a nice local coffee shop that can be a great alternative to a chain coffee shop. The space is nice for some work or chatting with friends and family. Don't bet on the coffee, but definitely go for the baked goods!
