L’Amour Baking Company

What more can you ask for when there’s a bakery here in ABQ that has macarons?
I was beyond excited when I found this place & I was even more ecstatic when they had a wide variety of macaron flavors to choose from! The lady at the front counter was extremely nice & friendly. I somehow manage to get a dozen macarons — because who doesn’t want 1 of each flavor, right?
I’m really excited to come back to this cute little bakery to try their other menu options aside from the macarons!

When it comes to French Macaroons to say I am a fan puts it lightly. My wife and I made these years ago at home and they can be really hard to make. We had multiple batches fail as the Macaroon would crack and as hard at is, anymore I tend to leave it to the professionals. Thankfully we have a few places here in Albuquerque where you can get them, but this has to be the best one. The flavor selection is the amazing, today I found over a dozen different flavors and they were almost sold out (I cleaned them out).
The taste beats everyone in town, just perfectly light, not chewy what-​so-​ever. The cost to me is great, since I am familiar with the process of making them. The service was excellent.
The only thing I could think of when I tasted my first one was, «Perfect»!

Huge fan of French macarons and helps to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for the flavors. If you have tried French macarons from Vegas, Bottega Louie, Laduree, and trust me you’ll know the difference. Anyway I must cut these guys some slack. Not a lot of businesses sell French macarons just on their own in Albuquerque. Either way it’s good to see Albuquerque getting a bit more modern with new desserts coming up to the scene.
The lady who boxed up my macarons was very friendly and yes the raspberry, caramel, coconut, and seasonal macaron flavor was delicious. No regrets eating them before a crazy workout! Haha BTW be prepared to drop about $ 20 or more. Cause if you have ever attempted to make French macarons on your own. It’s not as simple as you hope because you would think it’s just egg whites. Nope, there is an art to making French macarons and very time consuming. Reason why they are pricey and very well worth the money. Depending how many macarons you buy or hey you might get so excited you’ll buy the whole batch! Haha Try this cute bakery out and you might just fall in love with a new dessert! :)

Pretty neat to see a bakery in Albuquerque like this. Really feels like it belongs in a plaza or on a busy city street somewhere. Location is odd but in an historic area that could have potential. I tried an assorted dozen of macaroons and they were beautiful and delicious. The hand crafted mocha latte was very tasty, not overly sweet. Interior of the place was a bit dated and old buy I like that it had the 50s french bakery vibe. Staff was extremely friendly and personable. I would recommend this place to anyone with a sweet tooth, I’ll visit again.

I came here after seeing it in the Unilocal newsletter. I was greeted by a pleasant woman that was the owner. After looking at the offerings, I ordered one of every flavor. Man, were they delicious! I’ve been unable to find anywhere else in town that has macarons, so I was stoked to discover this place. The only real bummer is that the road it sits on makes it really hard to find it as they don’t have substantial signage. I had to practically slam on my brakes to not miss the turn. The interior is exactly what you’d expect from a new local place, so I’m glad that they were able to do what little they could. I am definitely returning here to get my fix and implore anyone else with a serious sweet tooth to do the same. The cappuccino macaron is my favorite.

Yum! This place serves a ton of breakfast foods like blueberry scones that have lemon glaze, cupcakes and quiche. Their macarons are great, not too big or too small. They have more flavors (12!) than most places in ABQ, and some they change. Clean place with very nice owners/​people. Don’t miss coming here, and I would recommend it if you live in Albuquerque.

Once I found this little bakery, I am glad I did!!! The people were so friendly and you can tell they put love into everything they make. The cupcakes and macarons are out of this world!!!

Stopped by this bakery after seeing photos of their macarons on Unilocal.They did not disappoint. I got all twelve flavored of the day. They are all fairly big and beautifully decorated. I haven’t tasted them yet because I just want to stare at them for a while.
Also got the tres leches cakes. The frosting is vanilla bean. The cake is very creamy and milky. Definitely coming back here for more.

These ladies are the real deal! Wonderful sweet treats, amazing service and the cutest little «Bakery Shop» The perfect sweet ingredients all in one treat!

I got a half dozen of different macaroons & loved them. I also got a vanilla cupcake with fresh berries, it was great I love that the frosting wasn’t too sweet.

My absolute favorite desserts are macarons, so imagine my excitement when a bakery with such a variety of flavors opened here in ABQ. I stopped by here on a weekday morning and was greeted by two wonderful and friendly ladies. They answered all of my questions and gave me recommendations on their favorites. I bought a dozen different macarons to try along with a slice of quiche and a latte which was rich and just the perfect morning pick-​me-​up.
Macarons: An abundance of different flavors is available. My favorites were the pistachio and vanilla (lots of vanilla, yum). The red velvet flavor was a little bit too sweet for me (like cake frosting), and the chocolate had an odd/​bitter taste to it– however the texture was great. Many of the other flavors were also quite good.
Quiche: Fluffy and delicious. I had the bell pepper/​mushroom quiche available that day. It was baked to perfection and so addicting. The crust was flakey and buttery. It was perfect for lunch. I should’ve bought a second slice.

Great macaroons, great cupcakes, great customer service! Finally a bakery that is actually good in the north valley (far north!!) a good break from the norm.

I just love this little bakery. Very cute and clean and awesomely decorated. The macaroons are well worth the price. My favorites are the lavender, sea salt caramel, party cake, and just chocolate.
I also highly recommend the yogurt, granola, and fruit parfaits.
It is run by a mother daughter team that are just as sweet as the baked goods. Stop in for a treat.

Great little neighborhood bakery. I stop for my morning coffee here. Much more affordable than *bucks! Have tried the banana nut muffin and the apple muffin. The apple muffin is the best I’ve had.

Tried the veggie quiche of the day and it hit the spot! The egg was perfectly cooked, moist, but not runny. The crust was crispy, flakey, and perfectly cooked. The top was golden brown, creating a crisp top layer to contrast the springiness of the insides. The veggies were dispersed evenly and were chopped nicely, none of the ‘take a bite and all the veggies come with that bite’.
Also tried a bit of my friend’s lemon merengue macaron and it was so tasty. So light and crispy!
