    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.

    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.
