This was not quite what I expected. They have a very tiny display. A small amount of space, and the rest is their baking area and freezer. I was told they have good gluten free options here, but they only have a few flavors of cupcakes. This place is great is you have all sorts of allergies. Gluten and Diary, Diary and nut? Any combination, they seem to have available. BUT... they are all kept in the freezer. I assume they would not be fresh otherwise, they probably don't get a large amount of business coming in and out regularly. They do not seem very friendly. I'm not sure if it was the owner, or not, but she did seem bothered to have to deal with us. Gluten Free cupcake should be avoided if you high standards. Regular cupcakes should be avoided as well, you can find better cupcakes at the grocery store. Frosting tastes synthetic. I would recommend this place for someone with allergies. I know they often struggle to find places to accommodate them. read more

Take out | Other | $20-30 I have brought from this place several times through the years!!! I established a tradition with my kids, when they were little. I found this place, and for all but 2 times the cookies were delicious, cooked to perfection. But unfortunately once last year at this time, and again yesterday. The cookie was not cooked all the way through. Raw cookie dough........it is always on my daughter Alexis birthday too. The ones I got in November where amazing last year. Any way the lady was very nasty on the phone, rude........and would not give me a refund or a credit!!! Unbelievable!!!???? Seriously this is bad business!!! And was very rude......she told me they cook the cookie the same way all the time. I said no you dont we have gotten many from you, absolutely delicious!!! She said take your business elsewhere!!! I was blown away. Have brought dozens of cupcakes here as well. Always delicious!! So beware.........NOTHING SWEET ABOUT THIS CAKERY as far as service I'd give her a zero!!!

We came in looking for 3 dozen cupcakes in 2 weeks. We sampled the lemon, red velvet, and peanut butter. One of the owners helped us personally and ran through their whole menu. They were nice enough to let us taste them in the store even though they're not really set up for dine-in. We got the special treatment despite being first time customers with a small order. We really liked all of the ones we tried and bought a German chocolate one for later. The peanut butter frosting was amazing, would definitely buy that if it wasn't for our small wedding. The cream cheese frosting on the red velvet was out of this world. The lemon cake was dense and rich. Since we were ordering in advance, they slowed us to mix and match frosting with cake flavors and offered to color the butter cream frosting for us. They were happy to customize for our needs. The price per large cupcake was very reasonable. They have a cold case with drinks. Super friendly owners, great product, and fair prices, if it were just easier to find, it would be perfect. Yelp/Google directions sent us around the back side of the block where there was very little parking. Worth the trip in any case. read more

This is a bakery that doesn't understand the difference between fresh and frozen. They think it's the same. Also, half of anything you order is gross frosting. They don't even know how to make good frosting. It's just that cheap stuff where they mix powdered sugar together with shortening or butter. read more

We purchased 30 wonderful cupcakes for my wife's 75th surprise birthday party. They were delicious and a big hit for our guests. We live in Saddlebrook just north of the Oro Valley, so the drive to the location of Our Sweet Lil Cakery was just over an hour each way. The drive was well worth it and quality superb. They were a big hit. I brought with me a cooler with ice to preserve the cupcakes during the return drive and it worked well and maintained the excellent appearance and taste of the cupcakes. Several of our guests asked about the bakery and I have passed only the contact information. The cupcakes are beautiful and moist and very, very tasty. Have fun. We did. Keith S. read more

Who doesn't love cupcakes?!?! Just the right balance of density, sugar and all over goodness. We had been going going going all day and those cupcakes were very much needed (it really wasn't a "want" at that moment, but a necessity LOL). The ladies in the shop were delightful. I always run in and out of that area and today I just stopped when I saw someone coming out of the door with what seemed to be pastries...let the dessert frenzy begin! Try them for yourself. The German chocolate is my next cupcake. The banana cream was good. Enjoy! read more

She personally delivered the cakes to our mom on her birthday, and included a written note. where we're from, we don't get that type of service where we live. We love this brand and service and will be using this company again. BTW, mom says they are the best cupcakes she's ever had, and she's been eating cupcakes for 80 years.

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!

Nomico Dessert was such a fun find. Yelp still lists it as PaTea, but once you're there, you'll know you're in the right spot.

Stopped in after hearing great things about their pastries!…read more They were all super affordable and the staff was so friendly and helpful. My favorite was the Mexican cannoli. The pastry is softer than a traditional cannoli with vanilla custard inside. I also had a pineapple empanada. It was good! Lastly, I tried a concha. It was soft and sweet! I enjoyed it.

Coming from California, Estrella blew me away with their prices. $1 per pan?? Wild. At those…read moreprices, we got a smattering of course: cuernitos, puerquito, elote, and a few conchas. They have a lot more here too so I can't wait to come back and try even more. I love the location of this Estrella because it's in this cute Mercado with lots of shops and a coffee shop so you can go grab some bread, a coffee, and enjoy your goodies in the open courtyard. Parking also is pretty decent, there's a lot and also some side street parking.

Barrio Bread

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!

Artisan breads!

Great customer service offered by Mateo!

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!
