I lived in France for a year and am an absolute Francophile, so I was delighted to find this bakery next to Ghini's Cafe (which is mediocre at best) that offers surprisingly authentic French pastries! Everything that we have tried so far have been delicious. I especially like their eclairs and my husband really likes the Swedish princess cake. Their pastries really do take me back to France (especially during this pandemic where I can't go back just yet), so I'll happily patronize the bakery section than sit at Ghini's and endure what they dare call French cuisine. Quelle blague! read more

I came to this place and got baguettes and this is the second time I visit this bakery and the lady behind the counter isn't that nice. Didnt feel welcome and not a friendly place. The baguette is so so but it's better than some place I've gone to. Baguettes here is ok didnt get a chance to try other food here that they have. Service is not even ok. The person behind the counter doesn't even smile or greet friendly. Had 2 visit here and it wasn't good. Here they don't give receipt unless you ask for it ( I guess) because I always have to ask for it. Ambience here, you can dine in or outside sitting. I gave a 3 because customer service need to work on and the receipt should always given to customer and have their logo on it because that way others know what you buy and the amount you paid. Most every place should have their name on top of the receipt. read more

Pastries were good. It is on the more expensive side ranging from 2-8 dollars per item, depending on what you order. There is a nice selection but limited on savory items. Seating is limited as the outdoor and indoor tables is reserved for the restaurant. Worth a try. read more

Creme brulee was dissapointing. After some liquid that came out of it spilling onto the bag with crossant pastries as well as a good 3 tbsps in bottom of plastic bag, you see here its incredibly lumpy. Taste horrible and no love or care went into making these. Crossants are hard and dry except where the mystery liquid soaked thru bag onto them. read more

This is the second time I have taken home a pie only to find mold or mildew on it. It's not just gross but there is no expiration date on any of the pies - so how long had it been moldy? They sell them that way anyway - wrapped in plastic so they are totally mushy - and very expensive. NO MORE La Baguette PIES FOR ME! I will drive to a bakery that serves fresh baked goods with a smile so I can buy delicious food, continue to buy local and tip the nice, hard working people at the counter. The owner is very rude and does not serve your patronage. read more

Bad customer service. I arrived a little after 10am and doors were locked. A man opened the door and stated that they were late opening to come back at 11am. Change your hours if you can't make it to work on time. This is NOT the first time this happened. Get it together, read more

Absolutely the best cream puffs & bear claws I have found since I moved to Arizona in 2009.

This place is amazing! Great service and fresh baked goods. Their pies are delicious! Try the pumpkin or apple pie, you won't be disappointed! read more

I was in the mood to try something "new to me." We stopped by mid morning on a Saturday. La Baguette is connected to connected to Ghini's restaurant, but thankfully they have a separate entrance. They have an assortment of fresh baguettes and other savory and sweet loaves of bread in addition to pies and other pastries, croissant, cookies, cakes and more. We took an assortment of mini palmiers, some part of small almond cookie, a few slices of pear Normandy tart, and a few slices of chocolate layered pastry to serve for dessert. The chocolate was the winner. I liked the palmiers, they were just right. The other items had a strong flavor of almond extract, which I personally don't care for. Had I known, I probably would not have taken those. It's busy little place with plenty of options for sweet and savory! read more

La Baguette is amazing and has a huge selection of pastures, breads and other baked goods. I absolutely love their morning buns and their savory croissants are to die for. Green chili and cheese is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any of them ( ask for yours to be heated up or do it yourself at home- you won't be sorry.) The breads are also very good, and this is my go-to spot when I need a fresh baguette. They're perfection. La Baguette is attached to Ghini's, so I recommend visiting when you're hungry and having breakfast or lunch while you're there. Service is fast, even when they're busy, and the counter staff is always friendly. read more

The main problem here, and maybe it's the case with many bakeries, is that the products LOOK better than they TASTE. The taste isn't bad, it's that there doesn't seem to be much. This is especially the case with pies, which they insisted in wrapping in Saranwrap such that the beautiful dark brown crusts are never crisp and flaky, but rather mealy. With some experimentation you can develop a stable of items (turnovers, ham&cheese croissants, brioche rolls) that are worthy to take home. The quiches never seem as tasty as they look. Also, and this is a real negative, the bakery doesn't open until 8 AM !!!! A bakery should be open at 6, at the latest. read more

You try to support your local businesses, but it can be hard. I go in to this place on average once a week, always tip the girls, always wait patiently. This morning I needed some things and the owner waved me off, holding up 8 fingers to tell me go away until they opened, I guess. It might have been 7:57. Needless to say, barring an emergency I won't be patronizing this bakery again, and that's sad. read more

Can't say enough positive things! It was all good and can't wait to go back to try more tasty dishes. read more

6" chocolate raspberry mousse cake was $37 and tasty (though I wish they'd used fresh tart raspberries for the mousse instead of an artificial sweet flavoring). The chocolate buttercream was good. Now that I live in the Northwest area, the chocolate mousse cake at Village Bakehouse is so amazing I won't be returning to this place for any more cakes. read more

I am truly saddened to write this review... I have been coming here, albeit infrequently, for about 10 years and I am usually happy with the service and product. I came in here yesterday to get some cookies and I asked if they were soft and I was assured that they were, so I went ahead with the purchase. I had the cookies later in the day and they were rock hard... I have ordered them before and they were incredible so I am familiar with the taste and consistency of the cookies. I decided to return them knowing I would have good customer service. This was not the case at all. I could not get my money back and had to settle with a gift certificate for a place that I will not return to. Two strikes in a short period of time and you are out.... read more

I love this bakery. They always have a great selection of fresh baked goodies and breads. The pastries vary from eclairs to tortes and cream puffs. All of the deliciously delectable. Fresh, tasty and not over the top sweet The selection of grab baked bread is excellent. They are open for take out during this crisis. Treat yourself to a wonderful pastry or two. Or pickup a savory croissant. They have a great delicious selection and you can't go wrong with any of it. read more

If you have ever been to France and you love French pastries, this is the place to go. Best anywhere in Tucson. Open Tuesday thru Saturday. This is located in the same place as Ghinies restaurant. I believe that this part is owned by the father. They are great. Don't miss them as you will regret it. Love them. read more

After having to ask for assistance when we came in, the employee taking our cake from the case acted as though we were a burden. We had made an order for a cake with ganache and raspberry filling and received a chocolate cake with buttercream. When I asked about it the lady was condescending and offered no apologies. She said that she took our order herself. Two of us were there when the order was made and both can corroborate the original order. Incredibly disappointing to order a cake for my birthday, pay ahead and then be stuck with something we didn't want read more

Great FrenchBakery right in the heart of the Olde Pueblo. Great service helping me pick out a Princess Cake to celebrate on of my staff's birthday. Was a big hit and sooo delicious. Will definitely return for more bread and try the café bistro next door. read more

A friend recommended this place for a cake for my son's graduation from college. We were serving 30 people so I ordered the sheet cake at $88. It seemed worth it for such a special, once in a life time occasion. I was stunned to see how they messed up the cake due to lack of proper packing. The cake was in a too wide of a box with five inches of empty space on either side (even though we drove slow and was careful to secure the box in the trunk, there was no way to stop the cake from sliding around in the box). Even worse was that they made the cake taller than the box, so all the writing was lifted on to the cover. It needed a topper to hold the cover from the cake or a taller box. I called and asked the supervisor and she was super unhelpful. She said she did her best and it's not her fault. That is the only box they have for the sheet cakes. She assumed zero responsibility even though she admitted the cake didn't fit into the box. Her answer over and over again is this is how they do it. She offered nothing in terms to make it right. I gave her many suggestions but she kept saying it's not her problem. I gave her my info for the owner to call me back, which she didn't. Truly unprofessional and I can't believe this bakery advertises that they do special events: I don't like to harm small businesses but it's been a week and still no follow up. I included pictures to show how they ruined the cake. I gave an extra star because it tasted great, even though we had an embarrassing cake that didn't celebrate my son with the words we chose. read more

Stopped by midday, they had a wide selection of cakes, breads, cookies, and tasty treats. I haven't had an opera cake in years and no one ever makes them. I immediately got one and enjoyed one of my favorite rare cakes. I will be back. read more

They have a pretty good apple strudel but the other flaky pastries were just ok. Most of them tasted pretty cheap. The staff were really nice but there were little flies in the pastry window which always grosses me out. read more

Ordered a mushroom quiche for Christmas morning. Prepaid and was told to pick up 9am on Dec 24th. Arrived at 9am and there was a line of about 30 people ahead of me. It took me 40 minutes to get inside. Slow process and the two cheery counter girls attended to everyone with a smile. They had to assemble the boxes for the cakes and pies, and tend to families with kids who could not make up their minds. In addition to the two girls there was an older gentleman who could do nothing to help speed up the process. Just stood there. OH! About the $20 quiche. It appeared to be factory manufactured and frozen in a tin pie dish. At home we baked and it was soggy and the crust would not separate from the tin pan. Very unsavory. Totally disappointment read more

I came in to get a baguette and it was just yucky! It wasn't crispy on the outside with softness on the inside. It didn't have an aroma or flavour just yucky! Don't know what happened to this place but it is definitely not what it used to be. read more

Used to go here often and was great. I went at 2:58pm. Evidently the bakery (and restaurant) closes at 3pm, not 4pm like it says online. I was shocked when they still didn't want to sell a box of things as they "closed their drawers out." (Didn't ask if I was paying cash or not). Noted: I won't be going back as it's clear you don't want my business. Fail. read more

Just your local french bakery, nothing fancy with all the yummy pastries I can think of. There were tons of sweet and savory croissants, quiche, brioche, cookies and cakes. Wish I can have one of everything but since I couldn't it just means more visits back :) I was raised with a donut shop so I love bakeries that I can stop by and pick up something for breakfast. Not healthy but fast and filling. I picked up a fruit tart and a few macarons after the place I went for lunch didnt have much options. Fresh fruits, not to sweet. And macarons were light and delicate. read more

We buy Almond Croissants EVERY Saturday. We have noticed in the last month or so, that the croissants keep getting smaller and smaller, but the price remains the same. Do they think no one notices? Also, the super nice ladies that worked at the front counters that had been there forever, are now gone. No doubt the owner had something to do with it, as we have watched him come out to the front and demean staff time and time again. Too bad, as we love the bakery and it is close to where we live. However, there are a lot of other bakeries in town to discover. read more

Everything I have tried has been delicious and the prices are great too!! Definitely recommend for you to try

Cute French bakery with outdoor seating and great tasting, beautiful creations. They surprised me with a gluten-free chocolate, hazelnut delightful treat. Beautifully created and the taste takes me back to Europe. Completely deliciousness. read more

Awesome tasting bread & pastries! I have been coming for 20+ years and I'm delighted with their authentic French baked goods & service too! All cash only. read more

Skip the bread! The bread is below average and not worth going there for. No cell structure and soft crust. No better than you can get at the local chain grocery store. read more

Two words. Bear claw. I am currently enjoying one of these delicious, flaky, chewy, sweet creations. It has just enough crunch from the almonds and a little bit from the dough. Wonderful. Plus the girls behind the counter are always helpful and pleasant in the morning! Great place to start off my day when I am on that side of town. If you are in a hurry, grab a ham and cheese croissant to-go, they will even heat it for you. read more

Just moved to Tucson and I was very thrilled to find a ''French'' bakery. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The Pain Epi (bread) a had no taste and was very chewy! I bought also a peach turnover and really think that the baker forgot to add the peach. It was very doughy and sweet. This place does not meet the basic standard of a French bakery/pastry! Dommage! read more

The staff were helpful and friendly but the bakery items subpar. It seemed everything was meant to be microwaved for it to amazing. Pastry was dry without heating and adding butter. Also, thought there'd be more selection. I went to satisfy a pastry craving. Ended up at a donut shop with a jelly filled donut to fill my craving. read more

Not much of a selection. Went for macarons and they are tiny and nothing special. Kind of an eehhhh place. read more

This has nothing to do with their baked goods except we gave it another chance again making the long trek to Tucson from San Tan Valley. If you saw my earlier review, I had posted about their usually wonderful cake slices being stale (their pastries were good as always) that are kept in the cold case. I got a response from the bakery saying they had had trouble with one of their cold cases and if I wanted to give them another chance, they would replace the three cake slices for free. So we went down there today and bought pastries as usual along with selecting the three cake replacement slices. I had the print out of the offer to replace them which shows the correspondence between us. The owner happened to be sitting there and the girl behind the counter, who had shown it to her immediate supervisor, then took it to him and he REFUSED TO HONOR IT accusing it of being "fake." It said "La Baguette Bakery" right on the print out, but he said it needed to have the person's name who offered to replace the cake slices on it! The girl apologized but said he was the owner and she had to go by what he said. My husband got into it with him and he refused to listen to reason. We are 70 and 71 year old people and not the type to do forgeries as he accused us of doing. No matter how good their baked goods are, needless to say, that is the worst customer service over three measly cake slices when we spend (including this visit) at least $50 each time we come down. Too bad he lost us as a customer over his terrible customer service and accusations. Beware. read more

Girl serving behind counter not wearing a mask, pastries on counter uncovered. Not smart in the midst of a pandemic and health crisis in our state. When I asked why she wasn't wearing one to protect the customers, I i was dismissed and treated like i was in the wrong. Shame on you for puTting the public at risk. And I love your food, but will not return for a while. read more

Considering this is basically in the same place as Ghinnis it is a world a part in service. I went in a couple of days ago and bought a Cinnamon bun pull apart which I needed like a hippo tied to my leg. I went in for a loaf of bread, the Artisan whole wheat loaf, which I did not need either(more of a want). The woman at the counter was cheerful and super helpful, which is sorely missing on the other side which is Ghinnis. The selection is small but the baked good are super. read more

This place is great if you love French pastries, but you're on a diet...as in you'll never eat much of their offerings. What they sell is overpriced for what they offer. A rather small $3 croissant that has so much egg wash that it tastes rather egg-y. The texture inside is more bread-like than a classic croissant. I tried something they called, "Fragiapan" I assume they intended it to be Frangiapane. Anyway. it was very dry and day old tasting with almost no almond filling. I have visited this place over the years once I forget how lackluster they are. Each time I come away spending two to three times what I would consider fair for what they offer. Furthermore, I re-resolve to never go back. It's really a shame as I shop at the grocery store right next door. read more

Okay, this rating is just below 4 stars, but not quite there yet. So I have been here twice in the last week. First time, I was going to Safeway to pick up a dessert for dinner with some friends, but I saw their open light still on so I went in. I picked up an eclair, a fruit tart, and a raspberry almond tart. For those it cost me about $10. Yes, a little pricey. But my friends and I shared them all and they were pretty good. Nothing that was knocking my socks off, but good solid pastries. The second time was after breakfast next door. We wandered over to see what they had. I was there with a chocolate addict and once he saw the chocolate temptation (I think that was the name) cake, I knew I was in trouble. So we ordered a slice to go for later. $3.50 for the slice. I say this is a good price for this particular item because it was so rich that two of us barely finished it. But it was utterly decadent. There were layers of chocolate cake and ganache as well as chocolate frosting. Overall they seemed to have a good selection of breads, pastries, cookies, pies, and cakes. I was helped very efficiently every time and enjoyed the treats I got. So, hopefully, others will have the same experience. And since its close to home, I will probably be back. read more
