After reviewing their menu for the first time, we find it is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! Very disappointing. We could even go to Sauce for less money. We'll go to Panera. read more

Food is overpriced and is low quality. The food tastes like straight sodium. The staff are unfriendly. The staff seemed unhappy to be working there and were completely unenthusiastic. Also, the furniture, decor, and inside of the restaurant is very rundown and looks outdated. With the high price of the food that only gets you a low quality meal, it is better to spend your money and time at an actual restaurant with appetizing food. read more

Terrific everything and nice people working there. Try the cin rolls and Charlie's chicken!

After spending a couple of days in Tucson, we were heading back home to Scottsdale and thought we would stop and have some lunch at this place. Upon walking in, the selection of homemade breads was amazing. You would think you were in bread heaven if you didn't know any better. My wife ordered a turkey sandwich and I ordered the Reuben sandwich. For our sides, my wife ordered the pasta salad and some chips (the chips were not included since she had the pasta) and I had chips as well but I also ordered a cup of tomato basil soup. Here is where things went sideways. My wife asked for some cranberry sauce on her sandwich since they have another turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce. To our surprise, the young man at the counter said "we can't do that, I don't have a button on my register for that". I asked if they could do a "miscellaneous" charge and again got the big veto. How can a place say no to adding what the customer wants? We didn't care about an extra charge. Anyhow, we went and sat down in disbelief and waited for our food. Once the food arrived, the pasta salad had cheese in it which she is allergic to and it was not listed on the menu as an ingredient. They also forgot her chips. The Reuben was good but not great. Could have used a bit more meat. Underwhelming was the word of the day here folks. Doubt we will be back. We are both still shaking our heads from the veto on the cranberry sauce. read more

My husband and I stopped here twice for a quick breakfast while staying in Oro Valley. The bacon and cheddar quiche, the breakfast sandwich, the glazed cinnamon roll, and the coffee were all great. Food comes out quickly. Sometimes they run out of things by mid morning. I got the last quiche one morning and we got two of the last three cinnamon rolls the next day both around 9:00 am. read more

Thank you yelp for leading me to this place. I had a turkey sandwich that was outstanding. So much in it, that the ingredients were spilling out over the bread. And speaking of the bread, I had the multi grain and it was seriously some of the best bread I've had this year. So fresh and seemingly healthy with all the seeds and nuts. Tomato soup was also great and I appreciate the bargain of a half sandwich and cup of soup...around $8.50. Service was super friendly as well. I phoned in my order ahead of time so that I didn't have to wait in the line, which was about a dozen people around noon. Highly recommend! read more

Incredible food, sandwiches, bread, desserts. My favorite is Bart's bag sandwich and a soft pretzel. Bart's Bag. Turkey, brie, lettuce, tomato, red onion, honey ... $5.50. $8.75 They have many locations and everyone of them has nice, friendly service and incredible tasting food with great consistency and quality. Easy parking. One of my favorite places to eat when I visit Tucson. I wish they had one in San Diego. read more

I always love stopping here for a bite to eat! Their food for lunch is amazing and it's a go to spot to pick up something sweet for desert or to bring with you to a gathering. Also... did I mention ton the bread?! I'm a huge bread fan and there is to die for! The feel of the restaurant for dining in is always great as well as the service from the staff. read more

I ordered our dinner to be picked up at 6:15, however they had no record of my order. It turned out that I messed up the order and didn't get it sent . The manager was really calm and kept trying to find the order and get me taken care of. Once I found out that I didn't order it, I went to the drive through and placed the order. When I got to the window, the manager, I believe his name is Frank, gave me a nice discount because I was there so long. That was unnecessary because it was my error, but he gave me excellent customer service. I have tried to send a note to Panera, but their web site is not friendly enough for me and I couldn't find a way to get that done. Thank you, Frank. He's at the 125 North 44th Street, Phoenix location. read more

I just love Beyond Bread, everything is fabulous! I lived in AZ many years ago and when I booked my trip for work for last week, I knew that I'd be coming back here! The bread is to die for, along with the sandwiches, salads and desserts. I went for Annie's Addiction on rosemary bread (which was the bread special this day) and also added avocado. A half of a sandwich is definitely a good size, I didn't need the other half but seeing that it was so fabulous, I went for it! You also get a side with your sandwich, I went for baked chips. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean and the service is quick. I'll be back in Tucson in June, I know where I'll be going for lunch! read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong item here. My wife and I came to this chain for a brunch based on earlier reviews. I ordered the Pueblo omelette. The description sounded yummy so I got it. What came out was something far far away fro yummy that one can imagine. The omelette was rubbery as if the eggs were microwaved. The cheese was slightly burnt. The saving grace was the rustic toast that I ordered. Very tasty and crunchy. However, it wasn't good enough to save the item that I ordered. The price wasn't that low either which added insult to the injury (we paid about $30 for the food we got; we paid $40 for a dinner last night at Cafe Desta). I am guessing, as the name suggests, one should stick to the "bakery" items. If you are looking for a affordable, no frills brunch, stick to a national chain such as Panera bread or Atlanta Bread Company (ABC). read more

Most people in the Tucson area who like great wholesome food at reasonable prices know Beyond Bread ; their soups, sandwiches & breads are fabulous SO glad they opened a shop at the Tucson airport: it's a GREAT & healthy meal to bring on a flight !! read more

Had to be the worse pastrami sandwich I have ever eaten. It was tough, burned and mostly fat. The bread was dried out and hard to eat. Stay away from this sandwich. On a side note the owner contacted me to make things good. read more

Tried this place for lunch yesterday and was somewhat disappointed. I ordered the curry chicken pita and a side salad. The curry chicken was somewhat bland, the pita was "dusty" on the outside and the cucumbers in my side salad were wilted. Probably a little nutritious but not so savory or fresh a lunch. Before I left thought, I would bring home a loaf of their multigrain bread for my husband, which turned out to be a great choice. It's a bit on the heavy side of breads but super flavorful and my husband loved it! read more

When I am debating where to go, this place is always my last safe fortress. Fresh ingredients and tasty bread just can't go wrong. Recently did a catering with them, their service was amazing. Portion was huge and the price was very reasonable. The manager (I think she is) actually came to delivered the catering herself, very responsible. read more

I love Beyond Bread! I usually go to the one on Speedway, but I happened to be on this side of town, so I popped in. The quality of the food is absolutely on par. I truly enjoyed my sandwich. I asked for a customized veggie sandwich on pita, and they really took care to make sure I was happy with the selection. The freshly baked breads called to me, so of course I had to buy a loaf of rosemary which was the special for the day. It was amazing, as always!!! I only knock off one star because there were a lot of employees just standing around visiting while 2 or 3 people did all the work. Perhaps that contributed to the slightly longer wait for my sandwich. If I'm on this side of town, I'll definitely go back. Beyond Bread is beyond amazing! read more

No doubt this is my favorite Tucson area restaurant. If I could give a 10 star rating I would. Every visit at this fantastic restaurant results in excellent, fresh food and bakery. No doubt care is taken in the details to ensure the food is appealing and tasty. Then there's the staff. What a great team of employees. The cashiers are happy and courteous. Even with masks on one can detect a smile. The servers and wait staff are always willing to go the extra mile. The restaurant is always clean, making it pleasure to enjoy a meal. I will be back, over and over. read more

I ordered the Cajun Shrimp Salad to go. Typically, Beyond Bread puts the dressing on the side. This salad came with dressing already added. There was so much dressing the lettuce was slimy. Next time I'll know to ask for the dressing on the side. The shrimp was seasoned perfectly, and there was plenty of it. There were a few specks of what I think was red bell pepper, croutons, and a couple of butter containers, but no bread. Beyond Bread has always been a dependable choice; hopefully today was a fluke. read more

Always great, fresh and abundant. The sandwich's are huge! I used to get the chicken before going vegan and loved it. Now get the veggie sandwich on multi grain with hummus. Delicious read more

A little expensive, but beyond delicious. The egg sandwiches especially are just so good.

Beyond Bread is still great as expected; it's one of my favorite lunch spots. I can't think of a single thing on the menu that I have ordered that I wound up hating. One thing I have to say, though, is that I've noticed the employees get snippier and snippier as time goes on. My mom shares the same sentiments. read more

Staff were friendly. Love the sunroom. The Rueben with a rock-hard crust, and OJ, cost north of $16.00. Kudos for clean washrooms.

So good. So consistent. A Tucson staple! I go every time I'm visiting my family in Oro Valley.

Solid place. Breads are, of course, amazing. Their salads are not bad, PB&J sandwiches as well as Mac and cheese are okay. read more

Do you like bread? Whats that? You do? Well the just as the name implies, BEYOND bread is the place for you! Their breads are so delicious I can smell them baking from across the street. Usually this is my once to twice a week go to for lunch. Recommended sandwiches - Avi's Avo - A delicious succulent moist turkey with avocado, cucumber, the always healthy sprouts, brought to life with mayo on a delicously crunchy ciabatta bread. Curt's Club - Man this thing is HUGE! Turkey, Bacon, did I mention BACON? Swiss, lettuce, tomato, mayo on the perfectly toasted white bread. Did I mention HUGE? Its a double decker! Im so excited to tell you about my favorite dessert that I am not even going to mention the sides, like baby carrots, chips, apples, salads and pasta's are slighty more $. I can only speak of one dessert because this thing is so good I've never been able to get passed ordering it. Do you want to take a trip back to your childhood? Then look no further than the OOOH SO DELICIOUS lemon bar. A big square, 4 x4 of the softest crust lips can touch, the most mouth watering lemon filling perfectly dusted with the wonderful powerful powdered sugar. This is not just your local sandwhich shop this is BEYOND a sandwhich shop! read more

Great sandwiches for breakfast and especially the club is huge..tastes great on wheat. Baking their bread is awesome..I would go again and again...friendly service read more

Ordered the muffelletta since I didn't see any on yelp. Having having it many times in New Orleans I've had my variety of good and bad versions of this delicious sandwich. Normally coming in their ciabatta they were out so they gave me the option of white or rustic. Well I'm not a big fan of ciabatta but love the focaccia varietals so I notice it on their bread wall and asked for it. The cashier looked at me funny but I said it was normal. Boy did it make the sandwich a million times better on top of it being awesome!!!! read more

Beyond Bread was my favorite sandwich shop when I went to school at U of A, and it was so wonderful to go back and see that the quality is still there! My favorite sandwich is Avi's Avo (turkey, avocado, sprouts and cucumber sandwich), and it is still as amazing as it was years back. What I really love is that the ingredients are all very fresh and the portions are hearty. You really can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches here, so I say run over to get your tasty lunchtime grub on!! :) read more

The place: HUGE. Lots of tables. Why'd you buy so much space? The espresso: not bad... kinda surprised, actually. The canoli: pretty much frozen. WTF. Would I come here again? Sure, if I need a quick sugar fix. Would it be my go-to coffee shop? No. read more

Update: Went yesterday and had the same sandwich as before and it was amazing!!!!!! Perfect!!!!!!! So good!!!!!!!! It would be nice if you were greeted by the people at the register with a smile. I hate writing reviews that aren't positive. Super dislike but I today was not ok and it's really bothering me. I just spent $14 and some change on a sandwich, soup for my side, and an iced tea. Ok fine, seems like a lot but their sandwiches are always amazing and if I'm going to eat bread, it's going to be theirs! First of all the floors in the back behind the counter that can be seen by all guests is FILTHY! Blue gloves on the ground and crumbs everywhere, totally gross. I was second guessing my decision to eat there and ordered anyway. Then, there's an Easter cookie out by the register that is soooo cute but there's only one and I need 4. So I ask someone if there are more of these cookies. She goes and asks 2 girls in the back but has to interrupt their cell phone time to get an answer. Really? Your floors are discussing and you have time to look at a cell phone together while there are clearly customers and can see the filth? So there are no other cookies, ok fine. I then go to sit and wait for my to go order. I pick the closest spot so that the person that's going to bring me my to go order doesn't have to walk far and search for me, the table is dirty. How do you have time to be on your phone while tables are dirty? The place wasn't even busy. I'd say there were 7 customer sitting down. I'm very disappointed. I went thought my sandwich and picked out when gristly brown turkey parts, I gave two to the dog that's why there's only two in this photo. My sandwich tasted great, that's why the two stars . read more

Very torn on this one... Pros: Great sandwich, really good bread (we had the Pauli's Pesto and the herb foccacia is wonderful!), great bread to sample so you don't get 'hangry' in line, cool patio to sit on, great location. Cons: We didn't have great luck with the girl serving us behind the register- seemed super annoyed to modify anything (put it on the side- she just deleted it instead so we didn't get it), and generally unhappy to have us there. I don't consider myself a rude customer to be fair, being someone who worked in service for a long time- so I'm not used to someone returning kindness with a scowl. It took about 20-25 minutes to get one sandwich when there were only 2 other couples in the restaurant, which seemed odd... When we did get it, it was great, so no complaints on the food at all! Just the service seemed off. We'll totally be back- the food is good enough that we try to even replicate some of their great sandwiches at home in Portland! We'll just probably try a different location next time. read more

Babbka to those of you who are not familiar with is suppose to be a cross between a cake and a croissant, all marbled and swirled filled with chocolate. The top is glazed and studded with chocolate chips. It suppose to taste like several layers of crossiant-ish cake spaced by chocolate and all sorts of sugary goodness. That said, what we bought at Beyond Bread (Ina brach) tasted more like bread, and not even a fresh bread. We bought our Babbka on Friday December 3rd 2021 and we were extremely disanointed. As said above it tasted like bread and even that it looked great on the outside, once we cut into it, it was a complete disappointment! Save yourself the aggravation. I am sure they make other things that are good but don't go for the Babbka. And for Beyond Bread -why? If you can't make it the right way, just take it off your menu. Shame on you. read more

Yea! (I'm jumping up and down) Wow! (I'm jumping up and down) Yahoo! (I'm jumping up and down) The new Beyond Bread on the northwest side of town is open! You cannot be helped but be impressed with the open space, light colors and the huge windows. Generously padded seating and lots of tables greet you. There's a community table (bar height) that seats 12 people in the middle of the space. There's a inviting semi-enclosed patio area that has plentiful seating. Obviously the menu is the same as the other two locations, undoubtedly of the same quality. This day I had breakfast - a BCT (bacon, cheese, tomato) omelet with roasted red potatoes and sourdough toast - no surprises, it was cooked to perfection and delivered in a timely manner. For those not familiar with Beyond Bread, it's a bakery, sandwich and coffee restaurant. The baked items include a plethora of breads, cupcakes, cookies, danish, and cakes; probably a thousand sandwiches (not really, but a deep lineup), salads, and soups. There's a limited breakfast menu consisting of omelets and breakfast sandwiches. It's casual dining, which means you order at the register and main items are delivered to your table after preparation. I don't usually give out five stars upon an opening and until I've had several opportunities to visit a venue. But this is Beyond Bread. It has set the bar in Tucson for restaurants of this nature, and their new location is no exception. It's obvious that the staff here has been well trained, there seems to be good management oversight here this morning, and food was presented with the same care I've come to expect at the other locations. This is a welcome addition to the northwest side of Tucson. read more

The bread is outstanding in this smell chain of bakeries. So is the pastry. From there things go downhill. The meals just lack feel. I guess the science that makes good baking work just isn't good for cooking eggs or massaging a salad. I'll happily keep coming back for a piece of chocolate cake or stickybun, but for a meal there are better options. read more

Bart's Bag - the sandwich I compare all other sandwiches to. It's turkey, brie, lettuce, green onion and honey mustard on a baguette, a fine combination. I've been a loyal fan since Beyond Bread first opened on the east side and its great that they have this location, makes it very easy to stop in and grab a sandwich each time I'm in Tucson. read more

In my humble opinion, Beyond Bread and Fortunatos are the best sandwich shops in Tucson (ever since Susie's on Broadway next to Nadine's closed down about 5 years ago). Usually when you walk in you'll be put off by the line all the way to the door. Don't fret though, as the line goes quite fast and you can sample some bread while waiting. The kitchen service though can be hit or miss. It's usually only when you order a hot sandwich that it slows them down a lot. I ordered the Brads Beef which is roast beef, provolone cheese, green chiles, red onion, Russian dressing on white bread. It's so bad for you yet so good. Isn't that normally the case? Important note to those who don't know. Avoid the Ciabatta bread at all cost. It comes standard on some sandwiches (though I don't know why). Those sandwiches have a tooth next to them on the menu. Why? Because you'll break a tooth on it, its so hard. There is nothing enjoyable about that bread. How many times do they have to be sued before it sinks in and they get rid of that awful bread or at least stop making it standard on sandwiches? (Tangent over) If you have room afterwards try some of their awesome cookies. They also do the best banana bread and chocolate babka (Fridays only). read more
