    Visiting from Cali and have yet to find a place near me that sells pan as cheap and tasty as La Estrella. And all my faves too, they even have my beloved cuernito. The bread was so fresh, the perfect balance between dense and fluffy and so sweet. The puerquitos were pretty good too. Truth be told, I'm not a big concha lover but I had two of theirs on our seven hour car ride back to Cali because they were just that good. Highly, highly recommend if you're ever in Tucson!!

    Selection is FANTASTIC!!

    Service was outstanding! I'm so sorry I didn't get her name, but wow, what a job she did explaining allot of selections as I wasn't familiar w/the Mexican version. One being Canoli's. Your Doughnuts are to die for!! Prices are some of the best I've seen, ever! We'll be back! Thank You very much!!

    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.

    a variety of baked goods

    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!

LBP's bakers make the sublime goods that I recall from back then. Their crust is crunchy/chewy and their bread is substantial, yet cloud-like. Miches, baguettes, epis, loaves, rolls, croissants, & special flavors; all are highest quality bread. And their cake & pastries? Sainte vache! They have fluffy cream puffs, creamy eclairs, yummy cookies, flavorful pies, and more. And don't get me started on their cupcakes, which are moist and tender and even better when they're Cosmic. There is something indescribably delicious about the apple and cherry Crisps. *Chef's Kiss* The staff at La Baguette Parisienne is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. They are also incredibly kind. On my last visit, I managed to take an epic fall (really more of a clumsy crumple) that included pushing a rolling counter across part of the store. My middle name is "Grace". The owner, Kim, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful (nor could the customers there at the time, so I guess kindness attracts kindness). She helped me to get up and was gracious regarding my minor rearrangement of her shop and cheerful enough that I went from embarrassment to laughter in record time. My late beloved Mama found this lovely, cute bake shop decades ago when they first opened, and she was a delighted weekly customer whenever she was at her east-side Tucson home. I hope to carry on her tradition, if less frequently from my UA-area home, until my time on the planet is done (bury me with a plain large Miche, a Cherry Crisp, and a Cosmic Cupcake, please). Highly recommend!

We ended up with some jalapeno cheese focaccia, a fresh loaf of sourdough (sliced for us right there), a couple of croissants and a cherry crisp. Everything was incredible and delicious.

    I've lived in Tucson for less than a month & my new neighbor gave me a loaf of Barrio Bread…read moresourdough. Wowza!!! Back in my old home in beautiful Providence, Rhode Island we had an artisanal bread bakery too. (Calmed Seven Stars, they have grown in the 15 or so years they've been around, now offering pastries, coffees, & with several different locations. Barrio Bread is staying truer to the original vision - great breads, bagels, just stop in to shop, & take it away.) My husband & I were headed toward N Country Club Rd early Saturday morning so thought we'd stop in & see what Barrio Bread's space was like. 15 minutes after opening we were already 7 patrons from entering the store! The line moved quickly enough, enough though we could see customers being individually greeted and served with friendly & warm attention rather than impatience. When we made it to the front of the line, it was the founder/original baker Don Guerra himself staffing the register. What a nice person! I mentioned where we'd come from (and Seven Stars), and Don stepped away from the register to call over Matt, one of the current bakers. Matr's a graduate of Johnson & Wales University (whose world-class culinary program is in Little Rhody) who met Don when he came to JWU to teach a master class in bread. Matt also baked at Seven Stars for several years before moving out to Tucson! Small world. I'd say this encounter was a little taste of (old) home - but Barrio Bread is more beautiful to look at and more varied than what I'd have available back in RI. And that sourdough is the best I've ever had! Too bad I left my phone in the car so no pictures - at least at this visit.

    I had this place bookmarked for awhile now, and we were in Tucson for lunch. This was our first…read morestop. We got there pretty late, right around Noon. Good news was there was no line, and only like 4 people in the shop. Bad news was they didn't have too many breads left. I went with a seeded Cuban bread and a seeded Epi bread. Total was about $10.00 for both breads. How were they? AMAZING! I can see why the owner is a James Beard Award Winner. He was the guy who rang me up, too! Super nice guy, knew some folks in front of us and seemed like a Stalwart in the community! Good stuff! The bread was so good! I ate the Cuban loaf toasted with just some butter. The sesame seeds, the slight sourdough tang, great crunch outside and soft inside. Great bread! The seeded Epi bread we pulled apart and snacked on during our drive back home. Again, crusty and seeded outside, soft chewy inside. If their "end of the day" bread is this good, I cant imagine how good their regular selections and specialty breads are. I will have to preorder sometime or spend the night in Tucson and stand in line right when they open to sample more of their delicious offerings! Absolutely delicious breads! Will be back, for sure!
