    Wow! It is a rarity that I get on Yelp and have a five-star review to leave. Barrio Bread deserves it. Don't let the line keep you from waiting to get some of their delicious breads. From the courtesy umbrellas out front to shield waiting customers from the sun to the genuine (who I'm guessing was the) shop owner, the customer experience was truly top notch. Even with the line, the owner took time to explain the breads and make recommendations based on our tastes. I came to Tucson from Alabama and had heard all the way from there that Barrio Bread was a must-stop place. The word was right! We tried several breads, but the signature sourdough took the cake for me. The rosemary sea salt bagel was a close second, but don't be dismayed if those aren't your choice... all five breads we tried were just amazing! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

    By 11:00 the choices are diminished, but doesn't matter because everything is great! Long line but fun to talk with everyone. Enjoy!

    A line for bread

    So there may be a line. I arrived a few minutes after opening at 9 AM. I got in later than planned. I've had the bread before, but not from the actual bakery. It probably took me 20 minutes to make it to the front of the line. They keep water and umbrellas for sun protection near the door if needed. Yes this place deserves the accolades. Don Guerra, owner/ baker, was working the register. He was super friendly and gracious. The variety of bread they offer was excellent. I ordered the cranberry walnut, small baguette, and a quarter whole grain spelt. All of the breads were excellent. The business is clean and well organized, but only a few customers in the store per time. Definitely buy/eat their bread.

    Sour Dough Come early he does sell out.... Homemade Breads that are "OFF THE CHAIN!" Worth the wait the owner himself serves you beautiful place and beautiful people baking it up for Tucson... Loved the Sour Dough

    bread!! - Multiple shelves hold different bread varieties, including loaves, rolls, and specialty breads, in a bakery setting.

    Already visited 3x in the last month, every bread here is fantastic. The baguettes are so soft and chewy, and the daily special selections are amazing. Will be back to try every bread in their selection!!! 10/10

    This is a local Tucson staple, so be sure to go early in the morning when they first open! Yes, there will probably be a line but the bread is worth the wait. If you arrive mid-day you run the risk of the shop being sold out of many of the different bread varieties. Excellent fresh bread, lots of different options, and it was nice to see the owner working the register on a Saturday morning.

    First time coming here, I read so much good things about it. And we are looking for a good bakery. My husband is Italian and love bread more than anything. We tried a few different bakeries before, but were not satisfied. Kidding aside, it was love at first bite! Lol! This will be our go to place when it comes to good bread! No wonder lines form here, we just got lucky they still have some when we get there. Staff are super friendly and helpful and we saw the famous baker and he's very friendly. I love this place already!

    Best baked bread and other goodies in Tucson. Love their bread and buns. A very busy place, excellent service! Great view of their baking ovens. If you have not been there yet, I recommend visiting this Bakery.

    Focaccia, Marinara and Cheese Bottom - A piece of focaccia bread with a golden crust and dimpled surface is inside a paper bag, likely from a bakery.

    We arrived at Barrio Bread right when they opened at 9AM on a Friday morning and found already 20 people in line waiting to pick up bread. Luckily the line moved pretty fast and we were in front within 15 minutes. So many breads to choose from! We had to narrow it down to only three which was still way too much bread for us! Demi Baguette ($3.50) - This is a great baguette. The outer shell has the perfect crust and the inside has quite a dense crumb. The flavor is very developed, you can tell the care and time that went into this baguette. It has a bit of a sourish quality, like a quarter of the way to being sourdough. Focaccia, Marinara and Cheese ($6.00) - This is a good focaccia, not too greasy or oily, with a nice tomato sauce and cheese generously applied and additional herbs sprinkled on top. The flour/grain mixture they use is less dense here, so it does have that lighter crumb more typical of focaccia but still more dense than other focaccias I've had. Locavor Half ($12.50) - Holy moley, this bread is super heavy. When I picked up the bag, I was like - no way a half loaf of bread could weigh this much. The bread once again has a perfect crust. The crumb is moist, dense, with an almost grainy/bran quality and sourdough taste. There's a reason why the owner won a James Beard award. The bread is absolutely fantastic, imaginative, and equally delicious. I highly recommend a stop if you're in Tucson.

Lots of other nice people hanging out. The space has a really nice feel to it and very much appreciate the awesome misters and fans. Doors opened promptly at 10am with Peachy coming out to say hi. Had a bit of a visit to Wonka factory feel to me. Made it into the ordering area quickly and the inside is beautifully decorated. Floral accents everywhere in pink and even icing piping on the display case. Very cool vibe. Nobody was rushed and service was efficient and friendly. We got the banana and a carrot cake for my wife and I. Friends got another banana, a classic, and a biscoff. We shared them all. My favorite were the classic and the banana. All of them have the base cinnamon roll which is fantastic. Light, fluffy, soft, amazingness. All the flavors are so well done. I tend to not love things overly sweet and these were excellent. Don't sweat which one you choose, you can't go wrong. For what it is worth there was a line for about an hour but it moves. Got pretty small again by around 11am. Peachy, I love what you are doing and look forward to coming back. One request..... can you sell some bottles of milk? Your stuff just cries for a moo juice pairing. If not, no big deal. I know to bring my own now.

I loved that you can customize the sweetness of your drink. The service was prompt and friendly. I definitely recommend this place, especially for little girls, it's very pink, cute, and fun

The flavors are good and blend together beautifully that it isn't too terribly rich or tart. These are a fun treat to have as I don't have pie often. There are other flavors I will definitely be trying in the future.
