A must try.

by mimiG

I am a local caterer, who uses ABC's Bakery on a regular basis! Recently, I had an immediate need , their staff was friendly, understanding, and most of all accomodating. The cake that I purchased was a white cake with a delicious lemon filling, topped with a scrumptious icing( just a hint of lemon to compliment, but not overpower). I had so many compliments on the cake- one of the guest inquired if I made the cake- I confessed I did not- she ordered her twins that exact cake for their 9th birthday party.

I have read some of the other reviews; and have never experienced a poor product or unfriendly service. However, working with this establishment has been a blessing to my business; and I know without a shadow of a doubt, if there were ever a problem with my order, they would go out of their way to make it right ( even if they had to deliver it to you personally @ your function) .. I know from experience that this type of service will not be received from your local grocery store. If you give them the opportunity, which I am glad I have, and will continue to do!

• Pros: Quality of products
• Cons: location

This is ABQ best bakery

First a word of caution. They are closed on Sundays. More warnings: you will leave heavier then when you entered. I have been known to have a pastry and coffee and go back and do the same again. It is all but impossible to look at the vast and delicious selection and restrict yourself to only one measly thing. It all looks and tastes too good. I would recommend something but there is no point because it is ALL good. You might not want to bother with something like a sticky bun which other people can do alright with. Get something like a sourthern red velvet cupcakes. The coffee could be better and more consistent. They should work at this because then they would be perfect. But frankly you could skip the coffee altogether and they'd still be worth the trip. We're lucky to have this place and others like it in New Mexico- it's rare

• Pros: Everything Sweet. Especially the Red Devil Cake
• Cons: long lines

Way Overrated!!

by newn

I purchased a cake for a baby shower and the cake was extremely dry (chocolate) and the icing wasn't a buttercream which is what I ordered but simply an inexpensive whipped topping. We were all extremely disappointed and neither I (nor any of the other shower attendents) will patronize ABC again!
