Albuquerque's Hidden Gem: Linda's Authentic Italian Bakery & Pasticceria

Wanna walk into a bakery and feel like you were just transported to a cobblestone street in northern Italy? Head up to Linda's Dolci in Albuquerque's Northeast Heights! In the Target shopping center on Montgomery just east of Wyoming, Linda's authentic Italian bakery and pasticceria is serving up fresh handmade pastries, show-stopping custom cakes, and Italian-style espresso that means serious business.

Owner Linda Manias grew up in Pordenone, Italy - where you can walk down the streets and hear dishes clinking, lively conversation spilling out of cafés, and the irresistible smell of fresh pastries and espresso drifting through the streets. She brought all of that with her when she moved to Albuquerque in 2022, winning over locals (including myself!) at a neighborhood café before opening her own place in 2023.

A fresh berry pasticcini and a double-shot macchiatone. It's fuel for running ABQ Legends.

Linda loves to experiment, which means the menu changes daily based on fresh, seasonal ingredients, many sourced directly from Italy. But don't worry, the classics are always there to greet you: pasticcini, cannoli, krapfen, and other Italian staples that are as authentic as it gets. What makes Linda's baking truly special is her touch with sweetness. Everything's perfectly balanced, just sweet enough without diving into crazy sugar rush territory!

If you've got dietary restrictions, Linda's has options for vegan and gluten-free guests too, because great Italian pastry should be for everyone.

Linda's is located in the Target shopping center on Montgomery Blvd, just east of Wyoming in Albuquerque's Northeast Heights. Whether it's a morning espresso, an afternoon treat, or a custom cake for a special occasion, Linda's delivers a little piece of Italy every single day.
Stop in and say ciao! Just be aware that, like me, you may never leave.
