I recently had the pleasure of indulging in some authentic Italian pastries, and I must say, they were absolutely delicious. From the moment I walked into the bakery, I was greeted by the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked goods. The display case was filled with an array of beautifully crafted pastries, each one more tempting than the last. I couldn't resist trying a variety of treats, and I was not disappointed. The tiramisu was amazing and the balance of flavors was perfect. Another standout pastry was the the croissant, a flaky, multi-layered delight filled with peaches. It was a true masterpiece of pastry craftsmanship. But it wasn't just the classics that impressed me. The bakery also offered a selection of lesser-known regional specialties that were a pleasant surprise. Each bite transported me to the streets of Italy, where these treats are enjoyed with a cup of macchiato. What struck me most about these pastries was their authenticity. It was evident that the baker took great care in using traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients. The attention to detail was reflected in the impeccable presentation and the harmonious balance of flavors. The service at the bakery was also top-notch. The staff members were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft. They were more than happy to offer recommendations and answer any questions I had about the pastries. Their genuine enthusiasm for their products made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, my experience with these authentic Italian pastries was exceptional. If you're a fan of Italian sweets or simply appreciate the artistry and flavors of finely crafted pastries, I highly recommend visiting this bakery. It's a little taste of Italy right in your neighborhood, and you won't be disappointed. Buon appetito!

Never knew how close this place was to my house so I decided to check it out. They had a variety of selections. I went with the pistachio tiramisu and cream filled croissant. Neither of them disappointed me. The croissant was flaky on the outside but light and fluffy on the inside. The cream inside the croissant had the perfect amount of sweetness to it, not overwhelmingly sweet but just the right amount. The pistachio tiramisu was also the perfect sweetness to me. Would definitely come back again in the future and possible get a whole tiramisu cake with lady fingers around it.

The deserts were wonderfully light and sweet, paired with being completely fresh. There are so many different kinds of coffee that are available, and the cookies that are sold packaged by the door are both affordable and delicious!

Linda's is by far the best European-style pastry and coffee you can find in Albuquerque-- the latte macchiato gave me such strong sense memories of the last time I was in Europe, I felt transported. She is incredibly dedicated to her craft and has clearly thought through all the details from flavor to presentation. Her options for vegan and for gluten free are as thoroughly developed and delicious as the "regular" menu-- too often at other bakeries, they can feel like afterthoughts, but not here! Highly recommend!

What an incredible experience! It's like having a little slice of Europe in the neighborhood. Wonderful staff and calm environment, the employee had no issues answering every question I had about their pastries. The best part was the coffees! Mine was with pistachio and my fiancé had his with Nutella. Quite a unique and high quality espresso experience. This place is perfect for something sweet in the morning that isn't TOO sweet. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this café! It came highly recommended from a friend who goes multiple times a week. All of their coffee’s we’re extremely applicant. I had the pistachio macchiato. It was decadent and delicious without being overpowering. Also, the pastries are to die for. I will definitely be getting full cakes and what not for celebrations. I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes coffee and sweets!

Bought pies for our company meeting and everyone loved them. The pies and tarts were very pretty, presentable, and irresistible. The service was welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend and will come back again for that next event, giveaway or sweet treat. They just opened 2 weeks ago and planning a grand opening celebration soon. Great to have this bakery on this side of town.

I love there croissant❤️❤️

Me and my partner stopped in for a sweet treat and we’re greeted by Linda the owner. She showed us her freshly baked pastry’s she even showed us her vegan selections . She was so sweet and kind we will definitely come back;)

I asked Linda if she could make a sugar free chocolate cake. She gave it a try and it's the best cake we ever had. Can't wait till next birthday to order a cake from her.

What a sweet find! Fresh made, quality, and just the right level of sweetness. I prefer non-teeth chattering sweetness, so real Italian level is the way to go! I've already been in 2x in just a few days! …

Everyone was extremely friendly and there was an obvious excitement about the pastries and coffee alike. Each pastry I tried was delicious, as well as the cappuccino. Absolutely will be visiting regularly.

Loved the yelp elite sweet treat event. The peach croastada was delishiada. And since I don't drink coffee I had a steamed Hazlenut hot chocolata. Yummy. Thanks, Linda! Will be back for more. Grazi! Bravo!

Loved it here linda is very nice and feels like home when I walked in to her bakery, and her pastries and coffee show the love she puts into them will definitely will come back and will spread the word.

Super cute and delicious Italian cafe/bakery.. we loved all of the pastries we god, especially the vegan flat hand pies, peach and strawberry, they were both absolutely delicious!!

disappointment- read about this bakery in a newspaper article- staff not really helpful describing the various bakery items-overpriced- the "Soccer Cupcake " tasted like a brick

Stumbled scross this little gem today and decided to try an assortment. Everything was delicious and the people serving us were so lovely. Perfect stop for treats and coffee!

A touch of Italy here in Albuquerque! Linda makes amazing pastries and serves coffee the way it should be. Great vegan options as well. I can’t wait to try some pie and cake.

Good pastries, however everything here seems to be a little sweeter then usual. So if you don't mind sugar, go for it. I'm Italian and grew up on this stuff back east.

Such a cute spot. I had a pastry & cappuccino, both of which were really tasty. There is a good bit of seating & the interior is very clean. WiFi worked well too.

We've been to Italy and everything tastes so authentic (the coffee, the desserts)!!! I'll definitely go there very often and recommend the bakery to my friends!

This is amazing reminds me of when I went to Italy for honeymoon. You definitely need to stop by for thier grand opening! I wish you all the best Linda!

As native Italian myself, this is the spot! For a moment I was back home. The pistachio croissant is amazing, and they make the best espresso in town!

Oh my god NM finally has the most unique bakery out there today This lady has some serious skill and craft All I'm gonna say is you gotta try it

She is actually italian and everything is literally exactly like italian pastry!!! Brand new café and deserves all the love and support!!

Awesome place. The owner explained all the options to us and the menu was exquisite. Tried a little of everything. Loved everything.

Delicious filled croissant or cornettò and cappuccino & coffee. Great new place for an Italian treat. Also has vegan options.

Everything looked amazing! I picked out two of several things, not quite sure what they are, but each of them is delicious!

Real Italian owner. Delicious croissant and coffee. As the owner said, that will not sell something that they don't like.

This place was amazing!! Found this place on Facebook and had to come and try it out. 100% worth a visit!!!

Awesome GF SELECTION. GREAT TASTING items. Been their several times, and it has been awesome each time.

Best croissant I’ve had in a long time. Delicate and delicious. Can’t wait to go back!

It was awesome to find an authentic italian pastry shop. It is truly fantastic.

Great small place to have a quick Northern Italian baked goods or order ahead?

Linda's is lovely, delicious baked goods, and great people running the place.
