Bought a custom birthday cake for my son's birthday party, but the rest of the bakery was super tempting! The attached deli and market also looks amazing, and I can't wait to go back and waddle out read more

The rainbow cookies were way too moist...definitely not cake or cookie like. To extremely sweet. Disappointed. And the pignoli was hard as a rock. Even more disappointing. read more

Have shopped here occasionally, for years, and never disappointed with their cookies and pastries. Amazing selection of homemade Italian treats. This year I decided to reserve a pumpkin pie to pick up for our holiday meal. The process was easy and the pie was affordable at just under $20. When I picked up Weds morning, the pumpkin filling was cracked (not just a little) and the crust was super pale. Thur afternoon I put in the oven for ten minutes to toast up the crust. Unfortunately nothing could change the taste -- the crust was super salty, like someone made a mistake with the recipe. But the pumpkin filling itself was very bland, none of that fall spiced comforting flavor. A total dud, and I assume I got an off batch. Still 4 stars on the cookies, 1 on the pie. read more

Both Saratoris and the connecting Italian deli Tullys are amazing. The food and baked goods are delicious and the people who work there are some of the nicest people you'll run into all day. Can't recommend them enough! read more

My husband ordered a chocolate birthday cake for me, and I just tasted it. The cake is horribly dry though he just picked it up yesterday. Also virtually flavorless. Inedible. I don't know how much it cost but it is money wasted. The chocolate espresso cookies I bought there were also awful. Tasted as if they used chocolate "flavor" rather than real chocolate. Then again I'm pretty picky about my baked goods. read more

This bakery was fantastic! They created such a fabulous amaretto engagement cake for us darn near last minute. Our flight was delayed and we arrived after closing. The person I spoke with on the phone assured me they were willing to accommodate my situation. I was so stressed when I got there, as I hate to be late. The person at the counter was basically serving as a psychologist at that point :) I got my cake and was on my way. We were able to have it the next day after the engagement and it far exceeded my expectations. Don't let the storefront fool ya. This was such a wonderful cake and tasted just as amazing. Thank you again for making my son's day special. read more

I really wanted to love the cannoli cake, as I'm a Long Island native. It was way too sweet. I'd like to try something else but afraid I'll be disappointed They are very friendly. read more

Delicious sweet pastries for whatever you feel like. The ricotta cookies are on point. There are several seasonal frosted cookies and even a gluten free flourless chocolate pastry. Hard to go wrong with friendly helpful staff and delicious sweet treats. read more

The quality of baked goods is solid. There's a terrific variety. I love the myriad of biscotti flavors. There are super fun sugar cookies, like Pokémon designs and holiday cookies. Currently, there are pumpkin cannolis (I prefer the standard cannolis). If you are having a party or are just bonkers for cannolis, you may want to consider getting the giant cannoli shell stuffed with a gaggle of regular cannolis. Check your order thoroughly, though. I have had my orders prepared wrong. My last visit, I requested three types of cookies. I got three different types of cookies, but two of them were wrong. And I repeated my order, so I'm not sure what the deal was there. There's inside seating but I don't think it's available because the bakery is not left open. Every time I've been there, I have to go to the deli a few doors down and then they send someone to open the bakery. read more

I ordered a Tiramisu cake on a Tuesday with a pickup date of Saturday mid-morning. I was given a frozen cake (no one of course even mentioned to me that it was frozen) and didn't have enough time to thaw it before it was needed to be served that same day. I am incredibly disappointed given how expensive the cake was. The cake eventually thawed out leaving a watery mess everywhere because of how much moisture was trapped inside. Ultimately the cake tasted good a day after I actually needed it. read more

We chose Saratori's for our wedding cake after seeing them at the wedding expo. The samples they provided at the expo absolutely blew other cakes out of the water! From the tasting (one of my favorite memories of wedding planning, as the staff was so friendly and the options were all so delicious!) to the customer service all the way to the delivery, Saratori's made it very easy for us for the entire duration of the process. My husband loved that Saratori's tasted just like the Italian bakeries from back home in NYC. I cannot recommend this place enough. We were so impressed with the quality of the cake that we want to have Saratori's for any birthday or other cake related event in the future too! Thank you so much for a great experience. read more

"Excellent desserts." Walked in here wasn't expecting much but I was definitely wrong. Coming from a New York background with the "deli lifestyle" this brought me right back home. Let me start by saying the staff is super nice and helpful with what to get, always a plus. All the dessert cookies were incredible with their flavor. The cannolis were out of this world, brought me right back home with its richness and crunchy outer layer. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Absolutely love my beautiful experience from Saratori's Pastry Shop :) was looking for a Italian bakery in the ABQ area to make a authentic traditional "Cassata" cake for my husbands birthday and so glad I remembered "Saratori's". From the exceptional customer service from "Johnny" to the heavenly full-flavored taste of the custom "Cassata" cake ~~~Pure Bliss!! Saratori's is a charming & unique Italian Pastry Shop run by wonderful people who offer a variety of Italian Dolci who can custom create anything you like especially when it comes to "Cassata, Cannoli or my Biscotti love!

BEST...CANNOLI...EVER... (And I grew up in an area of NY with Italian Bakeries everywhere-get the chocolate dipped, you'll be glad you did). Love the lemon cookies and beautiful and tasty cakes, also. Johnny and his staff do an amazing job! read more

This place is fantastic! They're so friendly and accommodating! They designed this Candy Crush cake with no real additional charge and it came out better than imagined! It also wasnt much more than a supermarket cake would've cost (less than $50). They put the grid lines in for us so my kid can top it with our own candies (we brought the candy ourselves). The cake was a hit and there were no leftovers. Many of the guests were blown away by the design and deliciousness of the cake. Highly recommended :) read more

Saratori's Pastry Shop - So many choices! Had to get more than one! - Bakeries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Last week I was looking for an Italian pastry shop in Albuquerque, to surprise my dad with an Italian Rum Cake for his birthday - his first birthday in a new state. I thought surely there wouldn't be one right? I came across Saratori's di Tully, and told them my idea to surprise my dad at work on his birthday was a cake for 10 people, completely out of the blue. All was great until I called my dad the morning of his birthday and casually asked how his work day was going, only to find out he was off! Johnny and his staff were so incredibly patient and accommodating, working tirelessly with me to figure out the best way to keep it a surprise and get it delivered. Ultimately, I decided it was best to try again the next day, and it was a hit. My dad originally is from South Jersey, and said that not only was the surprise amazing but the cake was damn good too. He'll be back for sure, and I can't wait to make Saratori's a part of my visit. Thank you again for the incredible customer service and making this birthday so memorable. read more

I really love this little Italian bakery and all if it's cozy ambience. Saratori's makes you feel like you walked right through a portal of a bakery shop in little Italy , NYC. They carry a satisfying dessert and pastry. Authentic Italian fare for sure. One thing I wish and it's this... that they would actually use a real chocolate for their chocolate dipped cannoli; rather than a oil that looks like chocolate. It's a chocolate imposter. Their pies are delicious but over the top expensive. In fact everything is a bit pricey, but if you're willing to pay the price, it certainly will be worth the trip. Really the only glitch is the waxy/ oily chocolate dip for the chocolate dip cannoli. It's my estimation that anything that has chocolate dipped or drizzle, is that chocolate imposter. I'm a self proclaimed chocolate connoisseur and my taste buds reject the fake stuff. The regular shell with the cannoli filling is insanely epic. If that's a thing. Their house made biscotti is to die for and they have an abundant selection, my favorite being the Salted caramel with toasted almonds. Heaven. There's nothing like dipping that Salted caramel biscotti in my favorite coffee drink. It's the best. When you do go in, be specific about how the counter help packs your items. They have a tendency to put everything you order in the same bag. Sometimes things need to be packed in a box so your items don't get broken and smashed. I mean, we're paying a lot of money, you know? In any case... give this place a try. Don't blink or you'll pass right by it. They have a tasty deli too. read more

I went here to pick my wife up some desserts for her birthday, it went over spectacularly and I highly recommend giving them a shot! I picked up half a dozen things so she could pick what she liked best. The Lemon Neapolitan was both her and my favorite out of the sampling I purchased. She keeps asking me when I'm going to go back and bring her more (mind you I've been 3 times since her birthday which apparently is not frequently enough). I should probably swing by after work this week and grab her some more Lemon Neapolitan... read more

Incredibly disappointed in the $70.00 Cannoli cake that was beautiful to look at but tasted terrible. The whipped cream frosting was not whipped cream - it had a marshmallow consistency and it was flavored with something flowery. The, what I assume were, butter cream decorations (flowers) tasted like flowers. The roses tasted like roses. It was not even edible. Shame on your for promoting your self as an Italian Bakery. read more

This is one of very few places in town to get homemade biscotti... around 15 different flavors to try from. They're thick and dense and hold up nicely to dunking in coffee. Caramelized almond was excellent. The other cookies are just ok. They also have excellent huge Italian-style deli sandwiches that are big enough to share and/or gorge on. read more

I recently moved to Albuquerque today I stopped in to grab a quick sandwich after a morning of shopping with my kids , little did I know I had just stumbled upon one of the hidden gems of Albuquerque. The lemon ricotta cookie was amazing, the French dip was delicious, as well as the meatball sub my husband ordered. The deli counter reminded me of being back on the east coast. Their selection of Italian foods dried, canned and frozen was very impressive. I can't wait to come back and try more of their items. read more

AMAZING cannolis ! I hadn't found any locally I liked since moving here till i had theirs. I also got a birthday cake for my mother and it was not too expensive, delicious, and very cute. read more

This place is amazing and the prices are bomb. I just came in today with my sister because she wanted to buy some stuff for a bake sale. (Lol) the entire place was decorated for Valentine's Day. The cookies and treats looked spectacular, made with skill and craft that was shown in the icing quality. I wasn't expecting to buy anything and I ended up buying a couple of cookies for my boyfriend. I saw their displayed cookies that were in decorated bags so I asked the ladies if they could do the same thing to mine and they did!! At no extra charge. I was very happy with how it turned out. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Crazy expensive, and well worth it if you like real Italian pastries. I recommend the sfogliatelle, which is a hard flaky pastry filled with cheese and relatively unsweet. My mom, who was born in Italy, went bananas over their little fig cookies, which tasted exactly like the ones her mom, my grandmother, used to make. The cannoli were a little sweet for our tastes, but those might be a more popular item and thus geared toward pleasing Americans' sweeter tastes. One gripe is that we ordered a chocolate cake for my daughter's first birthday. It was good, but I'm not sure that it really tasted like chocolate. Either their chocolate is a strange variant of the flavor, or they gave us the wrong kind of cake. Hard to say. read more

This review is long overdue! I ordered my birthday cake two years back from Saratori's. I had wanted an excuse to try their divine sounding cannoli cream torte for awhile, and my 21st birthday seemed like just the occasion. Upon ordering the cake, I spoke with the baker directly. I told them it was for my 21st birthday, my party was going to have around 30 people, and that it would be a Mad Men theme. I just needed it to taste good and said it was their call whether or not to decorate. The super-friendly baker said she would surprise me. I mentioned my distain towards fondant, and she talked to me about how much detail they can get in with icing alone. Well, she did not disappoint. My cake looked amazing! It was the show's logo, and done fabulously. I cried a little and proceeded to cut into the most deliciously moist and indulgent cake I've had in my young, (but cake-filled) life. It truly was a triumph. Thank you, Saratori's! My fiancé and I cannot wait to buy our two wedding cakes from you -- especially considering the beautiful things you can do without fondant (also known as sugar glue). read more

We ordered my wife's Birthday cake and pastries last year, delicious. This year, complete opposite. VERY disappointed, the cake was overcooked and dry. ANY pantry chef would have known that and not iced the cake. The "Lobster roll" was puff pastry with filling and a cherry, wowie - not dratitional by any means. $3.99 each, come on, that's ridiculous. I don't know if they changed owners or what, but the quality is not good. I will be calling the manager Monday morning. read more

I recently ordered the tiramisu cake for my boyfriend's birthday. When I served the cake to our guests they thought it was an ice cream cake. It was frozen, it literally had ice crystals in the filling. I had picked up the cake 6 hours before serving and put it in the fridge. I was not given instructions that this frozen cake needed to be defrosted before serving. The man that retrieved the cake for me didn't even take the time to show me the cake. Luckily I looked at it in my car as they had spelled my boyfriend's name wrong. This is not what I would expect for a cake that cost $85. read more

I Purchased a Chantilly cake for my daughter's bridal shower. When I picked it up I specifically told the employee that I was driving to Santa Fe and asked him if the cake would be ok. He said "yes." He the offered to load it into my car - in the trunk. After dropping off passengers, I moved the cake to the interior of the car. When I arrived at home the cake had a huge crack and chunks were falling off. I was offered no refund and no store credit. I will never do business there again. I will purchase any other Chantilly cakes from Whole Foods - where I purchased one two weeks prior to this incident. I transported it an hour away in the trunk, and it was perfect when I got there. Such a disappointment! read more

Saratori's is owned by the same family as Tully's Italian Deli next door. They make incredible cakes (coconut cake w/cream cheese frosting, tiramisu, etc), and I don't even like cake. For others who don't like cake, there are fruit pies, cheesecakes, biscotti, + cookies (really wonderful, light cookies!). I highly recommend the fennel cookies- such a unique flavor- and the caramel almond biscotti. If the shop is locked when you go, check next door at Tully's; one of the employees will open shop for you. read more

Excellent service. Friendly people!! Delicious baked goods. They get my vote for the best of ABQ!!

Although we were 10 minutes late and he showed up even later for our cake tasting appointment he did give us some pretty good suggestions. We did recieve some dry cake. The only cake that we seemed to enjoy was the almond cake and that was pretty dang good. The filings were alright compared to the other 6 places we went to but the icings were definitely better. I remember wanting the butter cream icing as a filling because I didn't like any of they're filings. read more

I'm originally from Chicago & I'm stoked! I'm so excited to have discovered Saratori's. Knowing whenever I have a craving or get homesick for Cannoli's ('cause I do, lol) they're a ride away. I'm so very happy, I could get spoiled over here:) They have the best Cannoli's, what great fillings too, besides the original classic. read more

I tried the sesame cookies because they looked so good, but I came for the rainbow cookies. I was NOT disappointed. Good cookies.
