So happy I found this lovely shop! Service was friendly warm and had me choosing more than I came in out of curiosity for... but every bite of every pastry I walked out of that shop was a trip back east to my Bronx neighborhood. When I get a moment to get a coffee and enjoy the place more so will come. But I already went back for seconds. But a/c work closed them early that day... ! Fine... be elusive... make me want you more.... read more

All of the food is delicious!! Particularly if ur getting pistachio paste in any of the baked goods. Great service, friendly.

They happen to be driving by and saw this Bakery that I had never noticed before. The pilot entering the restaurant ask a few questions. They were very polite and helpful.. I proceeded to pick three pastries.. They were all very good and not too sweet.. (pastries: Maritozzi, a pistachio tiramisu & a pistachio cream, stuffed croissant). Look forward to trying more items and another minute. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little chill spot we hit up on a Sunday afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We needed a break from running errands all day. Got a few things and a coffee and sat outside. Nice little variety to choose from. My girlfriend likes the apricot filled croissant, sooo much so, that I really didnt get to try it. The krapfen I had was good, though I wish it was a little sweeter on the filling. My latte was the perfect pick me up that I needed. Im willing to comeback to try out other things, like the pistachio croissant next time we're in the area. read more

I love this place! I randomly found this pasticceria looking for Chocolate chip cookies. And to top it off, the owner of this bakery is Italian and I'm learning Italian! Though I haven't got to meet her yet. My favorite thing here is a croissant With apricot filling. To die for! With a little coffee, you can't beat it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have many different pastries and seating inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Come give it a try! read more

Linda's Dolci - The yummy croissant with apricot filling. - Bakeries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My first visit to this lovely establishment was April 9, 2026. I've lived in Albuquerque a little over four years. I love trying new places, and remain enamored of the diversity and complexity of the culinary experience here. There is good parking here, and good signage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is tucked away a bit so on your first time here you may think that you are in the wrong place, but be persistent and you will be rewarded by the feeling that you have been transported to Italy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff is friendly, and there is beautiful display case filled with various pastries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is a chart for those of you like me that can't tell all the coffee choices apart. I dined in with a lemon cake with apricot filling. The crumb of this cake is perfect. A subtle lemon flavor, with the density more typical of European style cakes. I had a cappuccino that was out of this world! Be advised that this is not fast food. Take your time and relax and enjoy yourself. Things will come out soon enough. Prices are excellent. I'm looking forward to my next visit to see what else to try. read more

Finally stopped in today! I had the sfogliatelle and a torte. Torte can home with me to try later. The sfogiatelle was amazing. Not too sweet, hint of orange wrapped in delicate crispy edged pastry ., I had a yummy cappuccino to compliment. Extraordinary and I look forward to returning! Excellent! read more

They have a wide and varied selection of baked goods. It's difficult to choose! The krapfen and tart I got were both delicious and you can choose a filling for your krapfen. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a quiet place that's decent for getting some work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Tried several pastry items. All were good. Traditional Italian. Nice flavors and textures. Nothing bad. One minor complaint is I prefer cannoli's filled while you wait. Expresso was excellent.

Beautiful pastries nice little business there on Montgomery near target. A good Italian place.

Italian bakery, all I could see was a slice of Italian wedding cake in my future. Sadly not here. No matter tho - there were other Italian sweets to go. Cannoli, tiramisu, pie & Pastachini con Crema to name a few. There was an espresso machine and a machine for making fresh squeezed orange juice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus seating - this way you can enjoy pastry with a cup of coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With no wedding cake today it was 2 Apricot & 1 Strawberry Pastachini con Crema and a slice of Strawberry Crostata to go. The pastachini was a hard cup filled with whipped cream and topped with a dollop of jam. Great flavor and a perfect size to quench a hungry sweet tooth. The crostata was delicious and moist. The counter girl was all smiles and friendly and full of answers to our questions. A nice stop, next time we'll sit and enjoy coffee with our dessert. read more

Everthing here is awesome! The pastry's look beautiful and they all tasted so good!! I love this place!

My wife was excited to sow me this place. Small restaurant but huge in flavor. The server was sweet, informative in flavors/ingredients, and recommended some great choices. We got croissants with stuffed pistachio and pastry cream which we so airy, and creamy. The croissants had just come out of the oven and that took the experience over the top!!! Definitely recommend for special occasions, dates, or when you want to treat yourself. Side note it can be pricey but unlike many other places this is worth it. read more

I must visit for anyone with a sweet tooth looking to try something a little different than your average Albuquerque bakery. Linda's is the definition of authentic, an Italian bakery, with lots of Italian flare. It really is unlike anything else I found it in town. Everything from the pistachio filled croissant to the fresh cream, espresso shots, there's so much detail to each treat. I personally really really love the croissants and this last time had to stock up on some of the pistachio paste. But really, you can't go wrong with any of the goodies. She is also offering cakes and classic favorites like tiramisu are also really good. read more

Cute, authentic Italian dessert shop. Excellent service and delicious treats. I've been to many parts of Italy and the sweets here are as good as you will find in an Italian bakery. Located in a shopping plaza with ample parking. Highly recommend if you are looking for something sweet and a delicious espresso. Make sure to try the pistachio pasticcini! read more

New to area. On a trip to buy hangars at target and I pull in the lot and see this storefront; LINDAS DOLCI. I'm instantly curious because I find the food scene so lackluster here... thinking it's Sunday, 12:00, they can't go open, I'll go look in the window but as I approach the front door opens and a couple walk out! They're open?! I said to myself and walked into the cutest shop I've been to in ABQ. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is immaculate, a. Cabinet held gluten free options, they had a nice display with some coffee, some shwag....[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lovely young lady behind the counter warmly greeted me and when I said I t was my first time, welcomed me again. I got two sfogliatella , they looked so perfect behind the display. The young lady suggested I get a coffee next time, and that might just be tomorrow morning. Because those sfogliatella were so close to home for me. Like going to Delilo's on Arthur avenue. The pastry's brought me back to my home. The service was perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cleanliness and care in the shop was calming... just a great pastry shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish you the greatest of successes read more

The desserts were delicious! Services was awesome and staff was really nice. I will most definitely back for more. The croissant was so flaky and delicious. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean shop, not much on display.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Owner busy, but not welcoming. The other lady who waited on me never smiled and was also not welcoming. I bought one tiny pastry square, and another which I am not sure what it was besides dough. Neither pieces tasted fresh, that is they might have stayed in the display case for a day or two. I want to like this place, but their pricing will keep me from going back for another try! Very, very expensive !!!! read more

Excellent sweets and coffee. So many choices to choose from. Hours are great and the staff are very helpful and friendly. They can help you decide what to get by explaining in detail what they have. read more

Very cute cafe with a lot of delectable delights to chose from! Okay, so I've read some negative reviews about some of the desserts being "hard as a rock" and this cafe is getting bad reviews because of it. I'm not an Italian dessert connoisseur by any means. My familiarity with Italian dessert and pastries comes from growing up in Jersey City. There were some legit Italian bakeries there. With that said! Those "hard as a rock" pastries are meant to be dipped into your coffee. They are made to dunk! An example would be a biscotti which the cafe calls them "Cookies". Which, the biscotti here was my least favorite. It was missing the familiar flavor I grew up with, but maybe this is more authentic to Italy rather than Jersey Italy lol So! If it's hard, get a coffee and dunk away! My favorite from everything we picked was the lemon almond cake, chocolate mousse, and tiramisu. The croissant was delicious and flakey! Be sure to check this place out! read more

Possibly the best pastry (quality and price...heck..even in each category on its own!) in ABQ! This place is such a gem and I am really thankful they opened their shop here in ABQ! The pastries are delicious..and definitely not overly sweet like most American desserts/cafe items are. Instead, even though some of them have dough/flour components, they are light and crisp..and the fruite compote tasted natural and not full of sweetened items/sugar! What a pleasant change!! thank for for bringing these tasteful/delicate bakery items to share with ABQ community! You can tell this place is special. The owner Linda loves and cares about her items. She's there since the opening hours, helps make conversations (I love how there was an Italian customer who dropped into her store with his family and Linda carried a pleasant Italian conversation with him as well). Love how diverse the ABQ community is and how much more diversity in food and culture that this place can bring! I had a chance to have their crostada and got some cream puffs (nutella and fresh cream) with an iced cappucione (thanks for having that educational material explaining how different coffee drinks are!!). They were so good that I finished everything in one go (I was actually going to save the fresh cream pastries later for home..but..I couldn't resist trying a bite..and...shamefully ate the whole thing at that same place when I wasn't expecting to do that at all!! It was so nice that...I ended up finishing everything and bought many additional/more items to go (that fresh cream pastry was so good that I bought another one along with other items to go!!). Linda was so nice that she spent time wrapping such beautiful packages to me! And..bonus?..they weren't expensive at all. In fact, I found them super affordable!! Love this shop and I'm hoping to introduce it to others in ABQ as well! read more

I almost feel like I don't want to write a review for Linda's Dolci. Why? Because I want to keep it my little secret. Yes, I know I am being selfish . . . but like a little child I feel like I have just been given a special treat and I don't want to have to share it. But, I am an adult now and, hopefully, my parents taught me that sharing is important. But . . . hmmm . . . Linda's Dolci is an "Authentic Italian Bakery" and, if you have ever had real Italian baked goods, you know that it is hard to share. They are so very rich and yummy. I came home with a box of cream, chocolate, hazelnut and tiramisu. Not inexpensive, but worth every penny. Every penny. Please, if you go, save some for me. Every time I am anywhere near this wonderful little bakery I will stop in and bring home treats. I will try and leave some for you. I will try. Yum. read more

Went with really high expectations from the other reviews. Got a variety of items from cookies, tiramisu, cupcake, and a cannolo. I think their specialty is more of pastries like croissants which did smell good, but I was looking and hoping for Italian baked goods. The cupcake was an off texture and too sweet. The cookies were okay (only two varieties--very nutty). The tiramisu was good but didn't taste Italian. It tasted like heavy cream/whipped cream rather than marscapone with only a single lady finger and therefore tasted wrong. The cannolo was also off being really sweet and touristy. All the baked goods could be considered good but definitely not Italian tasting and too sweet for my family's tastes. The owner was really nice and helpful! read more

First and foremost the atmosphere at the establishment is always spot on! Service was quick and extremely friendly. We ordered the apricot crostata and the pistachio croissant. The apricot crostata had a nice buttery shortbread with a fresh jammy apricot on top! It pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee. The pistachio croissant is my personal favorite. A flaky croissant filled with a pistachio cream and topped with powdered sugar. It has a beautiful balance of savory and sweet, with the cream being light and nutty, while the croissant is buttery and crisp. Definitely a must try if you're in New Mexico, and especially if you're in Albuquerque! read more

I visited this bakery on a wild hair one day after picking up a grocery order from Target. I ended up with a peach croissant, some small cream-filled pastries, and a tiramisu. The counter associate was friendly and wrapped the entire order up in a beautiful butcher's paper package with twine bow. Lovely. The tiramisu was the star of the show. Yum. Fresh, not overly sweet, with the richness of the espresso singing in every bite. I will come back for the tiramisu any day. The cream pastries were OK. No huge depth of flavor but the cream was rich and fresh and the crust was not soggy. The croissant was stuffed with jam which made the whole thing a little on the sweet side. Not to my taste but still expertly done. I also bought w bag of the chocolate sable cookies. Can't speak to any of those because my kid and husband devoured them all. They were very complimentary of the flavor. A great addition to the NE Heights. Will definitely return for the tiramisu and look forward to trying other things. read more

Very inconsistent. Have patronized it several times and had very different experiences. On a good day the coffees are reasonably good, the service is quite good, and the pastries and baked goods range from OK to very good. Not as good as in Italy, but close. That is a five star day. On a bad day the staff is mostly interested in sharing cell phone information and chatting with friends who have dropped by for a visit. Also, on a bad day, the cappuccinos amount to a half cup and are lukewarm, orders had to be repeated three times and they still get it wrong, and it seems a new employee is always being trained -- taking up time and attention from the customers. These are one star days. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the chairs are always very uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So - three stars. Because you never know what kind of day it is going to be. Today was a zero star day; the last time was a six star day. read more

This is an authentic Italian bakery with various items in the menu that include cakes and pastries with options that vary from vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and low sugar options. They also take special orders per requests. They have a hairier of coffee drinks in their menu. Pattie's are not that sweet for those who have a sweetheart tooth and might find it bland. Nonetheless, most international foods have less sugar than the American diet that we used to. Plenty of sitting for guest to enjoy their baked goods with coffee. read more

Had the pistachio latte which was good but the cups need to be bigger. I feel like it was max 3oz of liquid which is crazy.....

Had an issue with a cake. I stopped in and they rectified problem. While there had the most delicious biscotti . I will definitely be back!
