    Who would've thought Tucson had grade A vegan donuts?! So glad they open early and would grab half a dozen, every single one was fantastic!

    Spectacular! And the employee is so nice in there. Thank you so much. This was so good. Can't wait to come back.

    Ordered donuts last minute on DoorDash for an event and these were great! An awesome variety and delicious. I got a pumpkin empanada and it was falltastic.

    The lettering is dreadful. Instructions not followed.

    The cake I special ordered was nothing short of disaster. My directions, written correctly on the order form, were ignored. This was to be for my best friend's birthday which is tomorrow, Memorial Day. No way could I find another bakery at this late date to customize another cake. The owner offered me half off. I declined. It was THAT much of a botched job to pay $38.56 for. If the owner had any sense of good PR, he would have given it to me because I didn't have much recourse at this point in time. I will never patronize that place again. It's great, I suppose, for doughnuts, but you can find equally good and less expensive ones at Dunkin!! The gal who took my order was a delight to work with. And the gal who was there when I went to get it was nice too. She agreed with me totally that the job was epically catastrophic! Wendy S

    From bottom to top, L-R: cherry empanada, blueberry fritter, boston cream, cream puff, maple long john, twist

    I'm a huge sucker for doughnuts and have to try them all, even if I'm more of a cake doughnut eater vs the yeast kind. My favorite yeast doughnut is the twist, from an old doughnut chain called Winchells. My dad really loved going there and it was a true treat for me when he would bring back a dozen every now and again. The twist from Le Cave wasn't too bad, it was a lot more 'yeasty' than I would have enjoyed. The maple long john, however, was a lot better and something I could buy again. I was also looking forward to trying their apple fritter, but only the blueberry was available. Not sure the blueberry version was for me. If I lived closer, I would go again and try more doughnuts.

    All vegan! Glazed, powdered, two filled, apple fritter, chocolate

    Amazing vegan heaven right here. Super affordable, even more than the picture they have right now they have these mango filled ones and a honey bun. It's like $2 or under. Underrated. Amazing. I didn't know i liked glazed donuts before this. I called ahead and they agreed to reserve 6 donuts while i took the half hour drive there, so nice!!!

    A dozen donuts to go.

    Working in Tucson and needed a treat for a client. Passed Le Cave's & decided to give it a try. Amazing looking donuts. great service and smiley face!

    Apple fritter, maple glazed, chocolate glazed, and raspberry jelly

    Yummy donuts with a surprisingly extensive selection of vegan options! We had the apple fritter, a maple glazed, chocolate glazed, and a raspberry bismark (raspberry jelly with powdered sugar on top) -- all vegan! They have all the standard, traditional donuts you'd expect, as well as some additional pastries like turnovers, danishes, and empanadas. Nothing over-the-top or fancy, but what they do, they do well!

    Dozen of yummy goodness

    The donuts are good & fluffy! The service was quick. They also have empanadas & cochinito cookies (little piggies) too. DoNut miss out on this yummy goodness!!

    Vegan donuts? Yes please!

    In town for a short week and had to visit Le Cave's twice because their donuts are that good! They offer a wide variety of vegan donuts that are absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. There are other great pastries available too. Their cookies and cream cheese horns are highly recommended. They have some amazing looking cakes that I can't wait to try for my brother's birthday. We will definitely be back the next time I visit Tucson!

    Ahhh the wonderful donut. I have been hearing about La Cave's for quite some time and FINALLY got in there before a visit with my folks who are obsessed with donuts (okay, I am too). I have tried a few of the independents around town since I try to avoid chains when it comes to these fluffy gems. I must say, it is hands down my favorite 'local' donut joint so far. The place is super clean, the ladies behind the counter were friendly delivering fast and efficient service. There was a line, but it went fast. I went for the Fancy Donut dozen. I thought it was a smidge high in price considering I got a few donuts that I would not consider fancy -- e.g. a powdered donut and they gave me two of those plus a maple and chocolate glaze each. For $20 I was not very happy that they put 4 non fancy donuts in there BUT after indulging in a custard filled chocolate glazed donut... it washed my annoyance away somewhat. I am for sure a fan... I would say at least go once if you have not tried them already. The service and flavor (even for the non-fancies they snuck in my dozen) are totally on point. Price and the bait/switch knocked a star off my review.

    What are the prices on the cake?

    Is lobby open yet?

    Hi Judith, thank you for inquiring about our lobby. The lobby is open limited hours up until about noon. Our drive thru is always open during business hours.

    I know this is a donut shop, but it popped up when I searched for gluten free bakery? Is anything here gluten free?

    Unfortunately, we do not carry any gluten free products.

    Do they still have vegan doughnuts? And, if so, which ones are vegan?

    A good number of the doughnuts are vegan (according to the staff). The standard glazed is vegan, and some of the others that have that as a base (chocolate glazed, cinnamon) are also vegan. The whipped cream filled is not. There are also a lot of…

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!
