Albina's Bakery is an unassuming hole in the wall hidden in a strip mall in Paradise Valley. It also has the best pastries I've had in the continental US. The cannoli cream is heavenly (it tastes slightly minty, don't ask me why), and the rhum au baba (a pastry floating in rum) is intoxicating on multiple levels. The sfogliatella is unbelievably crispy while being all moist and swiss-cheese holey on the inside, I also like the pignoli, bocconoto, napoleons, and eclairs. They also have breads, which I've never tried. No seating accommodations available, take out only. A dozen pastries will cost you about 20 bucks. They close early on Sundays. A word of advice: if you are looking for good neopolitan cookies you will not find them here, try Rocco's instead. Cash only!
