    Entrance off Grande ave
    Becky W.

    During my childhood this building was known as El Rio bakery. When the family decided to close it, many worried it would be a empty building. I think it was terrific that La Estrella decided to move in for another location. I am unsure how many years they have been here but it is always special to walk into a bakery that has its own space. They had lots to offer; tortillas of course, fresh bread, and lots of Mexican bakery delights! Today I felt like empanadas instead of pan de huevo, which many now call conchas. Cochitos (pig shaped molasses cookies) are our favorite. But you never can go wrong with their glazed donuts. So many delights to explore but today was a great day to visit Estrella bakery after walking and visiting with vendors at the Tucson organic garden plant sale today.

    One of the best bakeries I've visited offers conchas that are incredibly soft and spongy, almost like marshmallow heaven in your mouth. The service is both fast and friendly. Although the demand is high and the line often stretches around the corner, the staff does their best to serve customers quickly. The atmosphere is very comfortable, creating a sense of safety and being aesthetically pleasing.

    This is Estrella's third store jn town. My Neighbor shop was previously at the mercado San Agustin, but I prefer this one now because it's away from the crowded MSA and there more room to walk inside and view the pastries. This shop actually is now the bakery that supplies the items for the MSA store. The kitchen looks really big! You can expect all of the same baked goods at all the locations. My favorite is the hebilla (belt buckle shaped bread). I also love the cuernos and their Mexican wedding cookies. If you need a large order they are supper accommodating. You just need to give them 24 Hours notices. They also make mini sizes upon request!

    La Estella... what do I say about you orher than you are my kind of bakery - cozy, homey, delish and just you!!

    Disliked it so much I went elsewhere for the good stuff.

    I've come back twice since my first review and both times got their cochito. Although not "traditional" it's pretty good. It's a basic and cheap $1 cochito that has been the exact same on two separate visits, which is to say the inconsistency issue I noted before appears to be addressed with a standardized cochito recipe. Good. Also both times I came in there was one person at the counter, not many, and the exchange was subtle and quick. Which again is a good improvement. Good job. I will be back at a later time to assess the jelly rolls, conchas, etc.

    Great bakery! I'm normally not a huge fan of maranitos, but these were SO soft and the flavor was incredible. My family enjoyed everything we purchased. You can tell this team is really committed to fresh baked goods.

    Stopped by just to grab a couple of conchas and I can say that the conchas are some of the best I've had.

    First visit today after seeing the video of banana cinnamon roll about a week ago. Arrived about 20…read moreminutes before opening and were about 4th in line. 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.

He ordered…read morethe red velvet cinnamon roll, which was incredibly moist, not overly sweet, and the frosting was absolutely to die for. I went with a box of kawaii cookies. They were a little on the pricey side ($15 for four), but they were so buttery and delicious that it felt worth it. I also ordered the matcha cloud, which was refreshing and tasty. 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

All 3 pies were pretty tasty. I would rank the Chocolate Pecan #1, Apple Crumb #2 and German Chocolate #3. I will definitely stop by again the next time I am in Tucson and try out 3 more flavors. Staff was incredibly friendly, the size of the pies for the price is great, and the variety of pies is extensive. Cool little spot!

You order your pies and take them to go. There is no seating. The girl working the counter was fantastic. She was friendly and helped answer my questions. They have a selection of pies, from fruit and cream to pot pies. They are all decently sized "mini" pies for $7.99. Plus if you return 10 pie tins you get a free pie. I ordered the Kahlua cream cheese and a strawberry margarita. In true fashion of wanting to try both I took a quarter of each. This was a lot of pie! I should have only tried one per night. 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.
