Linda's Dolci

Best bakery in ABQ. The food is truly unique and outstanding. The service is superb and the owner is a kind person who welcomes everyone. I highly recommend that you try it.

As you walk into the shop you are greeted. Small but relaxing place. They offered us water since the coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice was going to take longer. Pastries here are so delicious. They have a vegan and gluten free options. Customer service is very good. We will definitely be back to try other things.

Wow what a lovely place. Greeted upon walking in and team member explained everything they had available. Treats were delicious and oooi so creamy. Priced just right. Be sure to get there early for a great selection.

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!

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.

I enjoyed this place a lot. Delicious pastries and coffee. The atmosphere is pleasant. I will come again to get my cannoli fix.

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!

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!

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!

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!
