I had wanted to try this place ever since I first passed by, but they were closed. I finally made it in and was delighted to find a wide array of baked goods laid out on display. The staff was super friendly and greeted me immediately upon entering. I ordered the biscochito raspberry bar because it sounded like a unique combination. The bar was good, but I found that the flavors didn't quite work for me, and my wife agreed. That said, we'd totally be willing to try something else here because everything looked so good! I also ordered an iced Americano, which was too weak for my taste, and I ended up adding another shot of espresso when I got home. This wasn't too disappointing since you can't always expect amazing coffee from a bakery. The place itself is decorated well and felt cozy. They might consider opening up the space a little more. Overall, it was a good experience, and I will definitely be back to try other baked goods. read more

I dont think we got any photos, but we did have a delicious mud day bakery repast. Cute place with some local artworks. The pasteries were so flakey and delicious. We verified wr had tried them before out at the railyards. But like many things baked goods are even better when you get them at the source. read more

Excellent service, friendly knowledgeable employee. There was a variety of refrigerated options about 4. The bizcochito is dense, cold and reminds me of pop tarts; no. I also purchased the Mexican chocolate the Korean pepper roll and the green chili . I will taste those later. Roughly $4.95 each. The Mexican chocolate cinnamon roll is exquisite. The flavor is death row last meal request level. The vanilla and chocolate are memorable. I like doughy, yeasty rolls and this is more French thinner not doughy, but the flavor is very satisfying; time stood still. read more

Fat City is a small bakery located off of Eubank inside one of the plazas. It's a little tucked away but easy to find. They have some really good treats, including the raspberry biscochito bars, gold bars, and a lemon cheesecake bar with pistachio crust. I will say the lemon cheesecake was an absolute favorite. The prices are reasonable, about $13 for three treats. read more

After I recently found this cute little bakery, I've been back every week to try these really truly homemade tasting treats. Every item is delicious and I can't name them all, but suffice it to say, you can't go wrong no matter which treat you choose. I will give a shout out to the best brownies I've EVER had. They know me now and that I only want a middle piece when I buy brownie! After recently moving to Albuquerque, I'm scouting out the places to find great products. Fat City is one of the places! read more

Really good food and choices. No donuts but everything they had was very good!! I got different kinds of cinnamon rolls that were all very good, they have some other cookies and things as well- I'll have to go back and try them! read more

Really friendly and warm owners and even more terrific pastries. Got the Superberry danish, lemon danish, bourbon croissant, cheese and jalapeño croissant, Mexican chocolate croissant, and citrus coconut coffee cake. I hoovered all of them. My only regret is not having more room in my belly for round two! This place is a gem, tucked away in a strip mall, in a neighborhood. Don't sleep on this one. Amazing. read more

Fat City Eats, Treats and Sweets - Bakeries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I found this place on a list of the best bakeries in Albuquerque and I'm glad I went - they had some very good items! I had the following: - Gouda Green Chile Croissant - Pistachio White Chocolate Cookie - Chocolate Chile Cookie - Biscochito Sandwich Cookie The croissant itself wasn't fantastic, but I did appreciate the unique flavors from the cheese and chiles...it was nice to have something savory and different. The pistachio cookie was fantastic and my favorite item from the bakery - soft, buttery and full of lovely pistachios. The chocolate chile cookie was my least favorite item - it didn't have much chocolate flavor. I really liked their versions of the biscochito - this was a sandwich cookie, with generous buttercream in the center; the buttercream cream was a bit much for me, but I really enjoyed the cookie portion - perfectly sweet and full of that great anise flavor. I'd definitely go back for the items I really enjoyed and try some other their other options. read more

I saw an ad for this place on Facebook and saw that they had Green Chile croissants which I thought was interesting so I decided to give it a try. I ordered on their website two of the croissants and a brownie. They have a ton of different baked goodies on their site. Their Facebook is a great place too as they show their cakes and sometimes give away free cakes! The offer curbside pickup which was super easy to follow, they text you when the order is ready! They are absolutely delicious and melt in your mouth! The green chile wasn't heavy, but just the right amount. The brownie was also very yummy! I definitely will go back, their baked goods are just amazing! Highly recommend. read more

Such a splendid place! They have so much variety to their sweets - from danishes to muffins to cookies to other fantastic treats . My absolute favorite thing to get is the raspberry biscochito bar- it has the perfect ratio of raspberry to biscochito! We tried some of their seasonal drinks and those were tasty as well. I got the London Fog with prickly pear and it was very unique. The shop itself is awesome too. They have local art everywhere for sale! Everytime we come here the people working are super friendly! I love this place! read more

We found this place by googling "ABQ dessert." The name was all I needed to want to stop by. I didn't know I needed a Vegan biscochito sandwich until today. Wow! I enjoyed it very much, it was soft and buttery. I also had fun chatting with the server about my biscochito fails since I moved to ABQ. My other vice is cheesecake. Let me tell you, the lemon was PHENOMENAL! I tried the chocolate too, but I'm not a chocolate fan. The crust was perfect! I also tried the peach iced tea. It was literally like drinking a peach! Other than the taste, what I love most is the local support. The local artist wall showcased amazing work and all of their ingredients are locally sourced AND the packaging and utensils are environmentally friendly. I was told that not all the items are always available, so I'll be heading back soon to see what's new! read more

I stopped in after anxiously awaiting it's re-opening after COVID. My in-laws live nearby, and they are pastry people. I thought I might surprise them with a box of buttery goodness, and they were not disappointed. You really can taste the layers of butt-a. Light, flaky. I ordered a green chile cheddar croissant roll *so yum*, a prickly pear lime coconut danish *delish*, a ginger plum oat danish*fantastic*, a cherry berry with blue corn danish *superb* and apricot with oat danish *phenomenal*, a raspberry with blue corn muffin *wowza* and a gold bar *ohhh yeahhh*. Guys, it was worth the calories, every single last one. read more

I like this place it has a variety of sweets and yummy goodies. Am I comfy going here as a heavy girl? no. Something about visiting fat city eats is not so charming. Also something else about that name reminds me that even the place I visit is body shaming me claiming me as part of their own "fat city". Kidding, kinda, just not my favorite name for a bakery. But great sweets. read more

So as a Christmas treat I got a plum ginger danish, still warm from the oven. Amazing!!! read more

Just discovered this place today and love the homemade quality of the treats. We will definitely be back!

This is a brownie review. Just a brownie review. Nothing other than a brownie review. "I hope you're okay with fudgy," the kind person behind the glass said, as they handed over the goods. "We do fudgy brownies." Are you kidding me? (I ordered, like, six of 'em. They threw in a bulk discount -- nice!) Okay with fudgy? Do you prefer your pizza cheesy? Your ice cream cold? Your sushi fishy? This is a no-brainer, lady. Please bring the fudge. They did. These were delicious brownies. Also, a brother/sister team run this place. I think that's adorable. read more

Bottom Line: Creative imaginative eats. Prices in line with competition. Bright vibrant decor. Passionate enthusiastic owner!! Top Line: I've snatched a quick breakfast and treats a few times from Keith at Fat City Treats. While every word of his business's name is gospel true, it's just too many words for an old guy to remember. Let's just call it FCT for short. FCT is in strip mall on southeast corner of Eubank & Spain Rd, along with Heights True Value Hardware, Home Decor store, etc. FCT is located just left of The Barley Room. Look for umbrellas & tables at east edge of parking lot. Keith's door is hidden behind them. The hallmark quality of FCT products is highly imaginative natural ingredients. Keith jockeys & dances herbal & fruital tastes in, out, and around his baked goodies. You'll find flavor combos at FCT that nobody else is vendoring. His blue corn pancakes were robustly filling while eschewing the typical pancake hyper sweet taste for an earthy toasted cornmeal flavor. The provided butter & 100% natural maple syrup balanced it out nicely. Three not terribly big cakes were dense enough to make a meal nonetheless. A little package of cashew green chile brittle from the counter had good sweet taste & okay on the cashew texture showing up. However, I didn't detect a lot of the namesake green chile flavor getting through. I picked up a biscochito bar with raspberry filling and an asiago cheese & rosemary "bun" that was actually croissant dough wrapped up into the shape of a burger bun. The biscochito bar had a distinct anise flavor, as expected, but not a lot of other spice flavors joining the party. The raspberry filling added a bit of sweetness. The bar texture was dense, tender fine crumb that was pretty moist with butter flavor. The asiago rosemary bun has a bit of a story. Due to food rotation, it didn't escape Keith's to-go box for a week after I brought it home. Even after all that time it still had rich mouthwatering flavor and had plenty of moist chewy interior texture. The large amount of butter that making croissants demands (and Keith had used) had maintained the bread against drying out and left it in surprisingly good shape & taste. Besides the butteriness, the asiago cheese spoke up in soft diffuse tones and the rosemary provided intermittent subtle hits of herbiness. This would have been a great platform for a ham & swiss or roasted veggies sandwich (think hearty flavors like mustard crusted kaboucha squash or sun-dried tomato/kalamata olive tapenade). FCT cookies come in at the $2 price point, about the same as other eateries around town. I've tried a few of his flavor options. I found the vegan oatmeal pretty bland & drier than the others. The blue corn chipotle was okay, but short on chipotle bite for my preferences. The ancho chocolate had good choco flavor & moistness. But again I was hoping for more chile zing than I found. FCT's brownie was way good!! Very moist, dense, fudgy center under a nice thin crusty top. Exquisite! So stop in and see if you find FCT to be one of your hidden gem eateries. It's sure one of mine! read more

Fat City showed up at the Prickly Pear Festival and had these amazing prickly pear-apple hand pies. The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet, but not too sweet. We will visit them in their location on Eubank sometime soon! read more

Fat City Eats, Treats and Sweets - Lemon Raspberry Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This cute little bakery is DELICIOUS! I had seen it on yelp and ran across it going to a delicious Italian restaurant next-door. I got some of the brittle both kinds green and red . I also got green chili croissants which I have not eaten yet but I am dying too later. I did get something I tried as soon as I got home even though I was very full from a delicious lunch and it is their Biscochito sandwich A delicious cookies with a incredible filling you will die for they are so good I'm going back very soon and I'm going to buy some for my friends these are great gift ideas Actually I can't wait to try the croissants too when I get hungry again which won't be long they look delicious also!!! read more

I had the croissant roll and a danish, and both were very dry and super sugary without much natural flavor. The croissant roll was stale and pretty hard to bite into - not sure if it's meant to be crispy but instead it was just hard, and there were no moist, soft parts of it that you'd expect from a croissant. The danish pastry was also very bland, with a syrupy-tasting frosting on top. Was pretty disappointed given all the good reviews. read more

Nice little hidden gem in Albuquerque. Delicious sweets and savory croissants I would highly recommend stopping by. Also keep an eye for them at Boxing Bear as they said they will be doing some pop ups there soon. Get the chive croasaint and thank me later. read more

Fat City Eats, Treats and Sweets - White chocolate rasberry brownie and a coffee cake with blue corn crumble. - Bakeries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

What a hidden gem in the northeast heights of ABQ! Everything is made fresh daily and they specifically use locally sourced ingredients in their menu items. Pastries, cheesecakes, cookies, sweets, savories... ALL amazing. My favorite is the tomato jam puff pastry. So fresh and the pastry is perfectly flaky... the tomato jam is the BEST and you cannot beat the sweet and savory combo. My second favorite item is the Gold Bar. I have tried MANY gold bars throughout bake shops in the city and this is by far the best! Again, so fresh. They also offer coffee and teas and the brother- sister duo behind the counter are amazing to get to know Great service! I am a regular! read more

Vegan biscochitos! They were such good texture and I didn't miss the traditional lard at all. Sooooo good! The croissants were delicious, flaky, and buttery. Give them a try! read more

We tried a couple different things and everything was wonderful. Service was great! Very friendly and prompt. A hidden gem!

I went for the first time today and am beyond impressed with the pastries. The savory croissant was amazing. Will definitely be back!

Mexican Chocolate croissants are amazing!! Art hanging from local artists. Coffee is awesome! read more

I have a difficult schedule and have been missing the open hours at Fat City for a very long time. I arrive today after closing hours, but flagged down the employees who are closing the store. I asked if there was any chance I could get some of their Biscochito Bars, and they made an exception for me! I asked for three, and they were kind enough to give me a surprise fourth one free and a discount off the retail price. Amazing! This is one of the best desserts I've ever had, and a unique take on a New Mexican favorite cookie. I have been craving these bars for so long, and it was even tastier than I remembered. The kindness and generosity made it even better. Thank you a million times! read more

Our family loves to bike there and get a delicious treat. We love there danishes, green Chile brittle, and there cheese cake.

Fat City Eats, Treats and Sweets is a bit of a distance from our house but we'd heard good things so we decided to try them for lunch and also pick up some treats. We arrived around 1:30 p.m., but the café was closed. We couldn't tell whether it was closed for good, closed on Mondays, or only open in the morning. It looked like it was closed for good.The hours are not posted, at least not anywhere that we could see. Even if they are still in business, I'm not sure whether or not we'll try again. Well, we did try again. We went back on a Tuesday, but they were closed. This time it was around 3:00 p.m. They must be closed for good. We definitely will not go back. read more

Whaaaat?! How has this place not been reviewed yet? I work next door to this cute little bakery and my coworkers are always bringing delectable looking treats in. My boyfriend surprised me yesterday with a Strawberry Rhubarb Cookie and a White Chocolate Pistachio Cookie from here. The pistachios were a nice twist in place of the traditional macadamia nuts. The strawberry rhubarb cookie got better with every bite and I'm seriously regretting sharing it with my boyfriend. I've also sampled a deliciously decadent, rich caramel pretzel brownie and some sort of pistachio croissant-muffin which was delicately tasty and reminded me of something I've had at a local farmers market. The location is well hidden and it took a couple weeks before I even noticed it was there. It's tucked into a little corner of The Promenade strip mall next to The Barley Room. I urge anyone who loves unique confections to try this place out. Also, this is a plea for help because if you don't buy goodies from here, I will. And I have absolutely zero willpower when it comes to those cookies. read more

This place was awesome! Highly recommend the Croissant roll, the fudge brownie, and the lemon danish. Everything was super tasty and fresh. The staff were really nice. If you're in Albuquerque with a sweet tooth, check this place out! read more
