"We visited Albuquerque for Christmas and discovered Roma Bakery and Deli. Went Christmas Eve morning to pick up some sweets for Christmas Day. OMG!!! I can’t stop thinking about the apple empanadas. The pastry dough was light, slightly sweet and DELICIOUS - the BEST I have ever tried! Oscar is the baker and I WISH we could take him home with us! We also ordered a breakfast burrito that was huge (we split it Christmas morning) and a chicken salad. Both dishes were fabulous!! The owner is warm and friendly and made the experience one to remember. If you are in Albuquerque, you must must must go to this bakery, and enjoy their friendliness and delicious food! I don’t know how I’m going to be able to live without the apple empanadas…"

"Very nice owner and chef. First time trying Roma Bakery & Deli. I never park downtown and he walked out to the street found me in my car and helped me find parking. So genuinely generous!! Who does that nowadays? The FOOD delicious tasted like homemade. I felt like I was invited into his home and treated like family. I enjoyed the carne adovada burrito. Very hearty with yummy red chile flavor. I also took some scrumptious cookies home. This smile wont leave my face. What a perfect way to end the year and start 2026 with a new favorite breakfast spot and new friend too!"

"This is a fun little place very close to courthouses and governmental offices. It has Spanish food and wonderful deli sandwiches and bakery treats. The bakery items are Mexican in taste and focus. They include empanadas and large sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies and other basic treats. I had a wonderful Italian sandwich with very crusty chewy bread. The prices are a little high, but the ingredients are very good. You can sit and talk for a long time. You order at the counter, and the staff is very cheerful and welcoming. They also make special soups a couple of days of the week. I had a sample of their tomato soup, and it was delicious."

"I go to Roma Bakery about once a week. Most of their clients are reoccurring customers from the nearby residential community, downtown workers, and law enforcement officials. The food and sweets are amazing with a decent variety. Whether it’s for takeout or dine in, it’s always a great experience. Oscar is very friendly and makes you feel welcomed. I’m particular when it comes to coffee and theirs is one of the best. You gotta try this place at least once. There is free street parking a couple of blocks away and paid street parking along Roma (not an issue for me as I walk there)."

"Absolutely perfect little Cafe. Amazing authentic food, with great recipes. The pastries from the bakery look amazing. The owner was very nice, and treats customers quite kindly. The atmosphere was perfect for breakfast or a quick lunch."
