The Most Scrumptious Desserts in Albuquerque

Linda's Dolci

★★★★★ 4.6 (40) • $$

"Such goodness!!! Just go! You will be delighted and amazed!!Delicious, fresh, authentic and baked to perfection. The staff is every bit helpful and friendly!"

Antiquity Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (512) • $$$

"I heard from multiple sources that Antiquity Restaurant is unquestionabley on the short list of candidates for best restaurant in Albuquerque. Armed with these trusted recommendations, I made a dinner reservation a month in advance, and then we dined here. Antiquity did NOT disappoint!Located in the touristy portion of Old Town, when we arrived and saw the exterior for the 1st time I didn't have high hopes for the interior, but it turned out to be all good; the inside is dark, cozy, and almost dripping with Old World charm. We were seated at a small, semi-private wooden booth, and we could smell and hear them cooking steaks on the charcoal grill inside their brick and stone oven; you can actually see the oven when you walk in the door.We started off with a soup, made with chicken, cream, and green chilis; it was delicious, and the salad they served with it was even better :-) We both ordered ribeye steaks as our entree. The steaks were perfectly seasoned, wonderfully marbled, and beautifully presented, with fresh vegetables and broccoli and cheddar mashed potatoes. Service was informative, attentive, and friendly - the owner even stopped by toward the end of the meal to make sure we were receiving good care (a very nice touch!). All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant, and look forward to returning!"

Crumbl - Paseo Del Norte

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (19)

"My first experience with Crumbl was not terrific. I came on a Saturday morning and I came in with my daughter and boyfriend. I had not been here before and had a gift card to use. The front desk woman was not very friendly when I told her I had not been here before--kind of a snotty attitude. For me, good customer service entails a friendly welcoming demeanor and helpful attitude. She had none of these attributes. There were many workers there and they picked this lady to be at the front desk area. I really think training of employees is needs at this Crumbl in customer service. The lady on the back was nice and promptly gave me my order. I'm not sure I will be back though. My first impression was not good and the cookies tasted raw in the middle."

Fat City Eats, Treats and Sweets

★★★★★ 4.7 (34)

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

Sushi8

★★★★☆ 3.8 (74) • $$

"Food was great, the sushi was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommend the Yummy Yummy roll."

Let’s Roll Ice Cream Parlor

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Stopped by this new ice cream place at random and I am so happy that we did!! Conveniently located on Coors in between Quail and Sequoia. Very clean and amazing customer service! We shared the Mango Tango (absolutely delicious) and also the doritos with cheese, jalapenos, and corn! So good! We were also offered a free salad which was also very good! The gentleman who attended was awesome and told us that their menu is growing and I can't wait for that. I highly recommend this place!"

Desert Sun Mobile Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3 (2)

"I ordered the caprese. Undercooked raw dough. There was hardly any filling. I just ate mostly raw dough with a small amount of filling. It was all mush. Not enjoyable at all. Not worth the $12."

Katrina Ice Cream Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (26)

"Katrina's is located downtown. The shop was super clean and had cute little vibe with photo ops for the kiddos. They had a variety of palette bars ans drink options. I tried ordering three different drink options, but they were out of a lot of products, so I decided on just getting salt and lime mineral water. The drink was refreshing. Hopefully they'll get more products in so that they can sell Boba drinks, and iced coffees."

66 Chuck Wagon

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (10)

"Well we got broke down on the side of the road. We have been through absolute hell for 3 days in NM. Then we stumbled on 66CW. All I wanted was a hot meal and got so much more. I had just about lost my faith in people but the staff or owners of 66CW reigned me back in with their service and food. Their homecookin was the food magic I needed. we ordered the steak and potato, and the chicken breast plate. Omg it was a party in my mouth. My husband's baked potato was absolutely Huge and the ribeye was done to perfection. The chicken breast was so tender and juicy and seasoned deliciously. However those mashed taters were insane,they have a little kick of spice that was just a step above. I have never had mashed taters this good in my life and when I get back home to LasVegas Nv Iam going to try to duplicate this taste as best as I can. Everything we ordered was fresh fresh fresh. It was literally like I walked into my mommas kitchen and was cooked a meal. That my friends is a rare find. We bought our meals to go because we have just been so exhausted and before I turned to walk out the door a bucket of little green apples on the counter caught my eye. I commented to the lady taking our order on how delicious they looked and to my surprise she turned to me and said "you can have some take a few" well I was delighted and took 3 free of charge. The kindness and generosity was everything I needed to get me through. And those little Itty bitty apples tasted deliciously like heaven when I had them for a snack. I regret now not asking what they were used in because I know whatever it is has to be fabulous. Ty 66CW. Home cookin was just what we needed and you provided that and soooo much more.. Good people has been my missing ingredient for days and TY for just being GOOD people with fabulous kitchen skills."

Paradise Confections

★★★★★ 5 (1) • $

Dulce Capital

★★★★☆ 4.2 (108) • $$

"OMG I came here, ordered the breakfast tacos and was blown away. They were fantastic - great sauce, super fresh and absolutely delicious. And I've had a lot of breakfast tacos LOL. Them I found out they've only just started serving breakfast so they're kicking it!!! Totally go!"

Green House Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (56) • $$

"Wonderful little gem stashed away in the back of Garden Gate spa. Nice and quiet for a meeting and a beer. Serve was bubbly and attentive."

Guadalajara Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (214) • $$

"While in Taos we ate at a local nearby to place we were staying and their Mexican food was delicious."

The Art of Snacks

★★★★★ 4.6 (15) • $

"I cannot believe that a little food truck somewhat off the beaten path has THE BEST HAMBURGER I'VE EVER EATEN. We stopped there more or less be chance while driving from Albuquerque. I live in Denver and my wife and I are planning a day trip to back to Raton just to get lunch at the the Art of Snacks. It's that good."

Sweet Cup

★★★★☆ 3.6 (5)

"My grandkids liked this place so much we went back again. They enjoy putting together their own concoctions with different yogurt flavors and a variety of toppings, but mostly boba balls. Devon and Lydia are great. Go see them and give this new sweet spot more business. I know it is hard to promote frozen yogurt in winter, but help this new become a success."

Paleteria La Reina de Michoacan

★★★★☆ 4.3 (25) • $

"Everything from the huge colorful menu board to the individually wrapped frozen fruit bars & ice creams aka: paletas caught my eye. There was a variety of sweet and savory snacks including homemade chips and corn dogs. Lots of variety on both the menu & in their freezer section including fresh: Agua Frescas. I enjoyed the Strawberries & Cream topped with granola. So delicious! Tres Leches paletas were good as well.I took a star away because it's a cash only It's a place you should definitely try an a crisp warm fall evening."

Ziggy's Frozen Yogurt

★★★★☆ 4.1 (16) • $

"love the fact that every purchase benefits a local youth in our community, rotating flavors absolutely recommend"

Let’s Eat Thai

★★★★☆ 4 (33)

"This place is not only authentic but very well priced. The food is fantastic and service excellent. This is a must go to in Albuquerque."

Theobroma Chocolatier

★★★★☆ 4.4 (27) • $$

"I'm dropping one star from my original review due to an overall upping of the chocolate game in Albuquerque, and some less than stellar interactions with employees. This remains a very good chocolatier, with all of the hallmarks that make me want to support them: it's a small shop, the truffles are appealing to look at and satisfy your cocoa craving, anticipate good gift buying, if that's what you're looking for. About a year back, another competitor opened their doors in the north valley, a bean to bar operation that's producing world class product, and I'd love to see their presence elevate the overall chocolate game, city-wide. Until then, I'll consider Theobroma a good option during the holidays, they're very, very festive. And when I'm in the neighborhood, hey, there's always a reason to support local dark (70%+) chocolate. Hey, it's good for you!"

The Pop Co

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"We had the opportunity to try this cute pop up dessert shop yesterday at the park. My daughter was not feeling anything to eat until she noticed the cake pop tent. We were both amazed by the variety of treats. We only tried the cake pops this time. It was absolutely delicious with the cutest packaging. The price was not too bad at $3 a cake pop. Remember you are supporting a small business here! The staff were super nice & everyone was wearing their masks. Hopefully we will come across the pop co again."

Cafe Chica

★★★★★ 4.9 (28)

"To be painfully honest, the first time I tried Cafe Chica at one of the markets I wasn't sold on it but a friend assured me that I really needed to give them another try and I'm so glad that I did. They really are more than just cute donuts for the gram, although the new space is very cute and picture perfect, they have some solid treats. I've tried a variety of their bomboloni, the pizza, and more. I love that they constantly roll out different flavors and there is always something different to try. Also the owner is a really friendly person, she adds a great personal touch to everything she does.I recently stopped in to try a sandwich which was stunning. Fresh focaccia with beautifully ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and balsamic glaze. I really enjoyed it and it just tasted fresh."

Roxy's Cake Studio

★★★★☆ 4 (9)

"Just happened to park in front of ROXY'S's. Had no idea it was here. Good location . . . and yet it is a slightly hidden location. You have to be in the neighborhood to come across these little shops. But, with a name like "ROXY'S CAKE STUDIO", how could you not stop in? Ok . . . yes . . .that is exactly what happened. Headed to the brewery on the corner . . . parking was limited but FOR one space in front of ROXY'S. Of course, it was like a magnet . . . and within minutes we had purchased $18 worth of beautiful sweets. A beautiful Chantilly dessert in a jar. A banana/strawberry/vanilla dessert in a jar and the most beautiful "cookie". The cookie had a lemon Oreo baked inside it. Yum!Although all of the desserts we tried were good, I'd say Roxy's real talent is DECORATING. Her baked goods are unique and beautiful and very colorful. If you have a special family occasion, I would pick up something from ROXY'S. Your family & friends will be delighted. Especially the children - colorful desserts get them every time. Love this little LOCAL shop."

Neko Neko

★★★★☆ 4.4 (82) • $$

"Super popular spot! We happily waited in line for ice-cream, two days in a row - so, so good! Kind & friendly servers.Delicious product!"

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"Such amazing fritters!! My whole family loved them. The owners served me and were so friendly and accommodating . I look forward to seeing them and buying more fritters in the future!"

The Bakehouse off The Wheaten Path

★★★★★ 4.8 (31)

"When I saw a 100% gluten free bakery was opening in ABQ I was like SAY LESS! You know I'm already there for their soft opening today to get my hands on some tasty treats! The cinnamon roll & lemon bar were absolutely delicious. It's hard to find gluten free baked goods to replicate the moist texture but this place nailed it! They are the cutest spot too with their interior design & so sweet & welcoming! I can't wait to go back & try so many more items on the menu!"

Bing Tea

★★★★★ 4.9 (57)

"Bing Tea is the best. The rotation of fresh boba flavors, the exceptional service, they're always quick and have an amazing variety. We adore them and will drive all over Albuquerque to find them wherever and whenever they post that they'll be. And now they have a fairly extensive little menu of mochi waffles and cheesecake? We don't deserve them, we can only be grateful and show up excited! Go find them asap!"

Miches

★★★★★ 4.7 (18)

"If you're looking for amazing food, great vibes, and top-tier micheladas, Miches in the South Valley is a must-visit! My friend Sara and I stopped by and tried the tacos, fries, nachos, and the michelada flight--and let me tell you, 10/10on the food and 100/10on the experience! The flavors were on point, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Plus, they have a patio,which is perfect for the warmer days ahead. Whether you're a local or just passing through, you need to add this spot to your foodie list! We'll definitely be back to try more."

I Scream Ice Cream

★★★★★ 4.8 (315) • $

"Incredibly cool atmosphere with all kinds of retro throwback toys from the 70s and 80s just a really cool vibe & great place to hang out and enjoy some very good ice cream and excellent friendly service/staff."

Los Ranchos Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (92) • $

"Nice people. I stop in periodically for cheesecake. They always have a great selection of deserts..."

Raven Blues Coffeehouse Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (14)

"Stumbled on this place while wandering around old town, and found this cute little coffee shop adjacent to the gallery. The cute little tattoo barista behind the counter was so kind and friendly. She helped me pick out a "little sparrow." And I thought it was amazing. Not many food items to choose from but I guess they also own Old Town Cafe across the plaza which is also so so good!"

Freezie Fresh: Rolled Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.2 (10)

"Best rolled ice cream in Santa Fe! I wish you guys didn't cover up the show now. You used to let people see what you were doing! Sadness. . ."

Joseph's Culinary Pub

★★★★☆ 4.4 (324) • $$$

"Pretty spectacular place. We happened to go on restaurant week, which I didn't know and wouldn't recommend. Around 530 on a Sunday, the place was packed, so we came back at 8pm for dessert and lucked out with some bar seats. The stressed-out bartender ended up being very charming and pleasant. We tried the chicken liver mousse and gluten free tres leches. The mousse was phenomenal, but the tres leches I would skip due to the texture, which wasn't for me despite the lovely flavors. (Most of the menu is gluten-free, which is awesome).I wish we had room for more food! I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's not a cocktail forward place, but it's great for wine, aperitifs, and some classic drinks, like martinis and manhattans. MAKE A RESERVATION OR SHOW UP AS THEY OPEN!"

Tanias Tasty Kitchen

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"We had some cupcakes from Tania's tasty kitchen at the recent Yelp event. They were absolutely delicious. The frosting was some of the best frosting I've ever eaten. So yummy!!!!"

XO Waffle

★★★★☆ 3.8 (52) • $$

"Waffles were delicious. Kind service.Interesting combo of food and waffles. Very tasty"

Bakery Feliz

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Excellent! I had the Molasses Cookie, which was honestly one of the best I have ever had in my life. No joke. I was tempted to go back and more, but after the holidays, I am trying to watch it.The seven layer bars had just come out of the oven but were too warm to cut. I will definitely be back."
