    One of the best bakeries I've tasted. Too bad they are so far away from home. Please park on 23rd st. You can't park on 6th Ave. The bread with cream and jalapeño cheese is delicious. We got some fresh flour tortillas $4.00. They had the Rosca de Reyes small $15 and large $25. We didn't get any. The bread prices range from $1.50-$2.00. Very friendly customer service. Enjoy!

    Jalapeño Cheese filled bread, sprinkle cookie and 2 conchas

    The bread was so soft, flavorful and fresh even after a 30 minute drive. The owner came out and was so kind and helpful! Hands down better than anywhere I had in California, it's like they all have the same flavor but this bakery taste like it's a family recipe. Thank you! Just on vacation.

    Our picks from the panederia! Not a crumb left! Lol

    We were in town on vacation and stumbled across this panederia in search of pan dulce. What a find! We met the owner and got to hear about his passion and journey in the industry! A true gem! We stocked up on pan dulce, pan artisenal and tortillas for our venture back home to Chicago!

    The most robust jelly rolls in tucson.

    This has been the most consistently good Mexican bakery I've been to in Tucson. Most other bakeries you have to fight for the attention of the phone locked teenagers at the cash register but here the owner is almost always here baking/selling and just trying to make a living off a good product. -The cochitos are perfect, exactly as they should be. Most other places in town serve more of a ginger bread pig, which is not a cochito. -The jelly rolls are usually huge, moist and amply filled with jelly. Again most other places serve dry yellow cake with a red swirl of almost nothing in the middle. -The conchas here are a new favorite of mine. They are a very mild, not overly sugary, sweet bread experience that is perfect with coffee. All in all it's just a very solid bakery in terms of product, price and customer service. The only downside is the location. Let's be honest, it's in the ghetto and you will probably have to ward off undesirable people asking for your money at some point. But if you can deal with that then realize this is probably the low key best Mexican bakery in Tucson.

    Super soft bread just the way you find it fresh at the panaderias in Mexico. Small store but tasty pan dulce.

    Village Bakehouse is always a win for me. I've purchased pastries to go, dined in for breakfast,…read moreenjoyed their coffee drinks and purchased two custom smash cakes from 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. They do have covered outdoor seating with fans but you are looking at a parking lot so not super picturesque.

    This is one of my to go places for cake in Tucson. 6/5! They do amazing cakes - customized or they…read morealways have choices for a pick up. Between having ordered a customized cake to picking up cakes from their display cases... I don't have a favorite... each one has been unique and delicious in their own (ps- their icing is amazing). For the quality of their cakes, their prices are totally reasonable. They have additional bakery items ( cookies, pastries etc) that I have tried and I would rate those a 4/5. Good and comparable to some additional amazing bakers in Tucson. I have also dined here for brunch and I would rate it a 3/5. Overall service is great here- staff are attentive and take the time to describe the items. There is a line to order usually- understandably so when you see their bakery case! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Ample parking as it is in a strip mall.

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!
