La Baguette Parisienne has the best bread and pastries in town. I lived in Morocco when I was a…read morekid, and we scarfed down sublime French bread and pastries made by French bakers. 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!

Stopped in on a whim on our way out of town for an afternoon road trip and my, oh my! Everything…read morelooked incredible. Plus the staff were so helpful and kind. 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. If we hadn't been heading out of town, we would have bought MANY more things but they would have melted on us. Can't wait to go back!

I ordered a cardamom oat milk latte with a touch of sweet and a toasted coconut blueberry muffin situation that was honestly divine. Like... gone way too fast, no regrets. Very vegan friendly, which we love to see, and apparently Wednesdays are a thing with their vegan English muffin sourdough drop. Say less, I'll be back. Super cute, super vibey, and somehow sitting in the middle of nowhere but also exactly where you want to be. If you know, you know.

Cardamom iced latte and honey lavender iced lattes were so yummy and made with house made syrups! We tried the Apricot almond pastry (the folks behind us were devastated we took the last one) and it had a soft, tangy apricot filling, and crunchy almond slices. Small on the inside when there is a rush, but both seating and bar seats were available. In the summer, try to snag an outside table under the shady tree! Fun find for us and we'll definitely be back for some fresh sourdough and focaccia!

I WILL be back. And I live in Phoenix, lol…read more However I was down here for work and have been dying to check this place out because I haven't found a cinnamon roll that can top the viral ones I had in NY... Chez Peachy is it! Really tough to decide between all the rolls, they all look so good. I got here late afternoon so they already sold out of biscoff. I came for the Cookie Addict though. I also grabbed a banana pudding. The rolls are soft and pillowy, and also not overly sweet. You can tell they're freshly made. Cookie Addict even has oreo bits baked in... my love language. To top it off the girl that was working was so nice and attentive. There is also a cute seating area inside to the side and patio area as well.

They are just okay. The flavors are super fun and intriguing but fall largely flat. The cherry pie was more flavorful than the tiramisu, but both were largely just butter flavored. Great place to come for the vibes and coffee, but so hard to compare with all the outstanding other bakeries in Tucson.

My goodness, these are some excellent pies! We tried the strawberry rhubarb and key lime pies. They…read morewere both perfect in sweetness (not the typical overly sweet) and the strawberry rhubarb crust was perfect and flaky. The key lime pie had was also delicious and did not disappoint. I'm fussy about pies and these were outstanding. The service was prompt and polite, and the atmosphere was clean and "take your pies home and eat them" as soon as possible!

You really wouldn't see this place driving down Wilmot because it's tucked behind two businesses, with 4 fifteen minutes parking spots designated for the shop. It's a small little pie shop and all pies are six inch mini pies for $7.99. Many are topped with pipped whipped cream unless you order a double crust fruit pie or quiche. I think I've sampled every pie. The size is perfect to split with someone. No drinks or other things are available here, but one can purchase drinks down the way at Beyond Bread. The staff are always getting customers rung up and out quick. Because the space is so small you go in the entrance, order your pies and then go out an exit door. There's no room for meandering or window shopping. You just wait your turn to look and order right away and I rung up the whole space is quite small nonetheless it's fun to go there and get a little treat now and again. And today was one of those days. My mom and I parked while my sister was checking out Bookmans. We picked out a pie to share, went to the patio to eat it, and it was good.

I have had Houlden's pastries for many times but this review is for their custom order service…read more I reached out via their online form with example pictures of a cake I wanted for an event. Michael handled flushing out the details with me and then relayed them to Hannah. I had a specific request for a vegan and gluten free cake. With their recommendation on flavors, we landed on a chocolate cake with cherry filling. Coordinating timing and pick-up was easy and they were great to work with. My friend with celiac disease and another who has other food sensitivities loved the cake and so did my other friends. It was a hit. We love how it turned out!

Good luck narrowing down which pastries you're craving given the many, many options they sell daily. I highly recommend trying at least a poptart, brownie, hotdog croissant, and cronut. Just thinking about them makes me want to plan another trip to Tucson.

I've been coming here every week for their amazing Morning Glory muffins--they're hands down my husband's favorite and always fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and it's one of those places that always brightens our day. We always bring our pooch with us and they never fail to bring him a bowl of water. It's rare to find a bakery that consistently delivers such high quality and wonderful customer service. Whether you're stopping in for a morning treat or ordering for a special occasion, I highly recommend them!

The custom ordering process was easy and the price was very reasonable. One thing to keep in mind with Village Bakehouse is that they have limited indoor seating and are often crowded.

It's located between Petco and Ace Hardware, and there is plenty of parking. You can order at a kiosk, but since we came later in the evening, the cashier was happy to take our order and was very friendly. My husband ordered the Thai Tea with boba. I ordered the Jasmine milk tea with panacotta and boba, and we shared a mango tiramisu. We were both happy with our drinks. The panacotta is a great topping and the boba was fresh, even later in the evening. The mango tiramisu was a perfect treat. It had a jello‑like topping with fresh mango pieces, and the creamy moist bites were delicious. I really enjoyed the consistency and flavor. We played checkers while we hung out. I would love to come back to try more teas and desserts. I definitely want to try the waffle because it smelled amazing. There are plenty of places to sit and everything was very clean. We will be back!

Parking also is pretty decent, there's a lot and also some side street parking.
