A favorite for our house for years. They accommodated my last minute order. Love them.

We were walking around Downtown Phoenix after grabbing lunch and came upon Tammie Co Cakes. The store was small, but really cute ... Everything was Valentine's themed for the weekend! They had 3 different kinds of cupcakes (Coconut, Ooey Gooey, and Red Velvet), a few different kinds of cookies (Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, etc.), along with whole cakes, brownies, as well as some other kinds of dessert items. My boyfriend and I decided to each get a cupcake. He got the Ooey Gooey which was a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, and I got the Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Both of us agreed that we preferred the Red Velvet cupcake over Chocolate cupcake because it was a bit more moist and the cream cheese frosting was more tasty than the vanilla buttercream. There was a lot of frosting on both cupcakes but it was less sweet than what I find at other cupcake places, so that was definitely a plus. The cost of 2 cupcakes was $7 and some change. Although I probably wouldn't think of driving out to Phoenix to get a cupcake from Tammie Co Cakes, I'd definitely stop by to grab a sweet treat if I'm in the area! read more

Mmmmmm.. Mmmmmm. Mmmm... oh wait, i should say more than that I suppose. Ok, I go to this bakery for one reason and one reason only - RVC. Ahhh, what is RVC you ask? haha, you're clearly not a cake conniosseur (neither am I). BUT my dear, I know DAMN good Red Velvet Cake when I taste it. I'm orginally from the region that spawned this decadent moist cake. I know women who make these cakes from scratch that would make you slap 10,00 Mommas. Once I moved to Phoenix, I started on a quest to find a place where I can get moist decadent RVC. I've been to just about every notable bakery East of Central. it took me a little over a year to discover Tammie Coe Cakes at La Grande Orange. Then I realized the bakery itself was closer to my home and now I go to the shop itself. Hands-down, if you are a RVC fanatic like myself, then you will find that this shop has the best, most authentic RVC prepared in a commercial establishment in Phoenix. this shop is so conveniently located right off of 7th Street, just after the I10 Exit. You can't miss it. You don't want to miss it. Trust me. read more

Tammie Coe Cakes - DessertI before lunch.... or perhaps for lunch! Quest for the Best #RVC http://www.yelp.com/list/quest-for-the-best-red-velvet- - Bakeries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Have been ordering Tammie Coe for my wife for her birthday and random occasions for the past 15 years of marriage. Picked up a dozen last week for her birthday and the cupcakes were dry as a bone. Very unhappy as it is her favorite and was a surprise. Hopefully they haven't dropped off in quality. Seriously going to be reconsidering getting more in the future. Out of the dozen, 10 of them were inedible and went to waste. read more

A stop on a (non-First) Friday afternoon to MJ Bread and Tammie Coe Cakes left me very satisfied! Half the fun of visiting this shop is examining all the pretty cakes on display. While there were a few, there were fewer than I'd hoped for. I'd like to think they were so good they sold out before I arrived at 12 noon. And, apparently timing is everything. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant (pictured) and within minutes was told they were out of croissants. I was bummed. Low and behold, the woman at the counter quickly learned my sandwich had already been made and announced it was my "lucky day", taking the last of the croissants; tall with its multi-layers. The chicken salad filling was good, though nothing to write home about. Temptation got the best of me, as I suspect it does others. I kept control settling for the mini portion of the chocolate cupcake (pictured). It was truly one of the best cakes I've tasted in a long time, though the orange (it's Halloween season) butter cream frosting was piled a little too high for my taste. All in all, my visit was a pleasant one and I had a lovely outdoor lunch. I hope to be back soon for one (or more!) of their grab-n-go sliders. read more

Love me some Tammie Coe in the morning! My husband & I have the luxury of living within walking distance so we come here at least once a week. They use Intelligentsia coffee which is on another level good! They're really known for their cakes & desserts though. Some mornings I'll get a muffin or slice of pound cake. Always delicious & moist! Every holiday we like to order a pie or bread pudding to bring to Thanksgiving dinner. It's a hit year after year. My one complaint is they can't seem to keep staff. Every couple months they're training a new barista which is fine but this makes for inconsistencies like not always being open on time, or open at all if someone decides not to show. We keep coming back though because the coffee & goodies are never a disappointment! read more

The Red velvet is a must try if you go!! read more

It had been a while since I'd visited a REAL bakery, so this seemed like a prime choice for First Friday. The pastries were simply beautiful, although most of them looked too sweet for my taste. Cupcakes like red velvet smothered in buttercream? I can't handle that, but you'll probably love it. I opted for a simple blueberry-sour cream muffin, and one of MJs cookies. At $1 each, and $3.25 per cupcake, make sure your sweet tooth doesn't drain your wallet. Part of me wants to complain about the price ($12 for a dozen tiny cookies just doesn't fly!), it WAS the best cookie I've had in years. I'll be back to try some of their fresh loafs of bread. They also make some deli sandwiches. Those seem like they'll be high quality, and a better value. read more

Of course I still love Tammie's cakes and cupcakes and cookies. And her husband's bread is still my local favorite. But I just discovered this week a new reason to love Tammie Coe: the boxed lunches. For around $10 each, I ordered lunches for my fellow faculty members who were having an in-service at the Phoenix Art Museum. There were about 10 different sandwiches to choose from, and about 4 salads, and they all came with a drink, chips, and giant cookie. Everyone raved, and many asked me from where I had gotten lunch. The salads were huge and the sandwiches were hearty and very satisfying. Everything was clearly labeled, and packed into individual brown bags for each person. I could make special requests like "no nuts in the cookie" and the woman in charge, Sia, was a pleasure to work with. I felt that I got a great value for my group, and will absolutely use Tammie Coe again for my smaller catering needs. read more

Having just moved around the corner, I was very excited to have a locally owned coffee place to replace my former Starbucks self. As we all could have guessed, I am in love. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing- I get mine with American cheese, scrambled eggs and avocado (in lieu of meat) on a buttermilk roll. Delicious! I've had a variety of iced coffee treats but my favorite is the Salted Butter Carmel iced coffee. I have also bought many, many cupcakes here- the red velvet is for sure the best. I find myself looking for occasions that I can bring TC cupcakes to, which is a bit ridiculous. Tammie Coe is a wonderfully indulgent place with awesome customer service and tasty morsels. Bonus: They are super dog-friendly. read more

The chocolate crack cake cannot be beat. Gluten-free because it's a mousse and it's just incredible. I also love the bran muffin because the spread on top is delectable, as well as the blackberries included. I know people love the Louis gooey cupcakes, but I don't stray much from those two selections I just mentioned. That chocolate "crack" cake not always available, so you might as well just call and order it. If you have any extra, just share it - make your friends and family happy. They will love you. And you need that love. read more

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. The cakes in the store looked so pretty, and the girl at the counter packaged them so nicely in little cardboard boxes, I had such high hopes (it was $5 for a small slice of coconut cake so I thought it HAD to be delicious). I sat down to take my first bite and it was like a desert in my mouth - DRY TO THE BONE. Disappointed, I decided to keep eating, hoping that maybe only that one section was dry, but no, the whole slice was dry! Not even eating the parts with frosting helped to add any moisture. I had bought two slices of the ooey gooey cake for my coworkers as a treat for them, but now I feel embarrassed to give it to them in case it sucks as badly as the coconut cake did! I don't understand how a bakery can operate like this! read more

OH MAN! I attended a shower this past Saturday that had a Tammie Coe cake there! It was unbelievable! The cake was a sponge cake, it had some kind of custard filling that may have been made by angels with layers of fresh diced strawberries. So heavenly! read more

Tammie Coe Cakes - Sweet little cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Perhaps my expectations were too high. Tammie Coe's reputation for whipping up delicious artfully crafted cakes is well known, and I had hoped to experience that and more when making my first visit to their flagship location in the Roosevelt district. While the cakes don't disappoint, the location itself could be so much more. The place is pretty tiny and tucked into the bottom floor of a condo complex just a block west of 7th St. The setup inside is cute with the desserts laid out for display right as you walk in the door. There's also a refrigerator with drinks and some pre-made salads on the side. Behind the counter some of the MJ Bread products are prominently displayed along with their chalkboard menu of pastries and other items. I had heard they now serve breakfast and lunch sandwiches so I thought that would pair perfectly with some of their pastries. So you can imagine my shock when the gal behind the counter said "we have no sandwiches at all today". Um, what? She apologized profusely, but really couldn't give me an explanation as to why. I've read some reviews that they sometimes run out of items towards the end of the day, but right at Noon? On a Saturday? C'mon now. Disappointing. So i decided to just stick to the sweet stuff. The selection in their display case was fairly limited but I asked for suggestions and the gal suggested their Ooey Gooey Cupcake, Red Velvet Cupcake, and Righteous Brownie. Each were just over $3 (a little spendy, though each of them are sizable & dense). The righteous brownie, as advertised was super chocolately, moist, and delicious. The red velvet cake and ooey gooey cakes were amazing (the amount of frosting on top of both was borderline obscene). Tammie Coe's creations on the dessert front definitely live up to her reputation. I'll definitely come back at some point, but there's plenty that can be improved upon. For one, if you advertise a lunch menu of numerous sandwich creations (using their famous MJ Bread), don't suddenly run out at lunch. Second, how's about a wider selection of treats in the display case? I get there's only so much space, but with all the foot traffic this area gets, it'd be great to sample some more great creations. And lastly, might want to put umbrellas for shade around the tables outside. I like the corner cafe feel they're going for, but as it gets warmer, umbrellas would be a nice addition. C'mon Tammie, I know you can do better. What I was able to get my hands on was awesome. I sincerely hope your flagship will have more to offer next time. read more

I used to work for Intelligentsia Coffee Shop part time when I lived in Chicago, and of course they have the best coffee in the world. Sometimes I will order it from their website, but that can end up costing like 30 bucks or more per bag! Ya know ... It is a major treat; maybe once or twice a year. Welp, Yelp ... I don't have to worry about that anymore. This place sells Intelligentsia by the cup or by the bag! WOW! SCORE! It is right on Roosevelt Row directly across from the 5th Street strip. I was simply unable to leave the shop without trying a pastry (you'll see what I mean). The blackberry bran muffin was *absolute heaven*. There goes the diet! (Thankfully they only had one left ... I hope they hide them tomorrow.) Also wanted to mention that the gal working behind the counter was super bubbly and friendly even though she had been there since sunrise. Chatting with her while waiting on my coffee to brew was kinda the icing on the cake ... hehe. Thank you Tammy Coe Cakes - you have a new fan in the neighborhood. read more

Every other Focaccia bread I have purchased, you can just break a piece off and enjoy right out of the bag, but this herb focaccia ($2.50) at Tammie wasn't like that. It was semi-stale, so it needed a trip to the toaster oven. It still wasn't good then, so either the giant stack of bread that was sitting in the store shelves was baked a day or two ago or their bread just stinks. It was probably the former. Somebody also needs to make a $2 cupcake. Paying $3.50 for a tiny cupcake is a bit much. read more

On a 99-degree day in I hMarch, I had a tasty, simple, and fresh prosciutto and parmesan sandwich on a great baguette, followed by an out of this world red velvet cupcake and a good americano. I'm sold! Seriously, the red velvet cupcake was the finest I've ever had. I even took a picture and put it on Facebook. Next time I'm in Phoenix I'm stopping in here for sure. read more

When I saw Tammie Coe Cakes' yummy display of parties at Scottsdale's Old Town Farmers Market, I was immediately attracted to the Blueberry Coconut Tart. They offered a sample of it, and it was just too irresistible to not buy the full size 6 inch tart. I've never had blueberries and coconut together, but this made me a believer. It wasn't overly sweet. It had a nice chewy texture from the coconut like what you expect from a cookie bar. The blueberries mixed in offered hints of freshness. The tart crust was the star. The foundation of a good tart is its crust, and this own tasted like a yummy and buttery shortbread cookie. My cousin bought the Chocolate Peanut Butter Donut, which was like a moist cake with a balance of both flavors. I savored every last bite the 5 star tart and wished I lived in Phoenix so I can try more delicious sweet treats. read more

If you're a fan of sweets, you know about Tammie Coe. As a pastry chef myself, I'm always up for trying sweet spots. I've had Tammie Coe cupcakes from Whole Foods but this was my first time actually going to the store. I went in the morning and the case had very little to offer. Only 3 flavors actually. I grabbed the red velvet and coconut and enjoyed it sitting outside. Their red velvet was definitely better than coconut. The cake is moist and frosting is sweet without being overly so. The coconut was okay but lacked the coconut punch I was looking for. My only gripe was the fact that they keep the cupcakes in cooler so it was ice cold! It was like they just took it out of the freezer 5 minutes ago. Well, and the fact that there were only 3 flavors available. read more

Red velvet cupcakes that dreams are made from! The Ooey Gooeys are great too. And the bread us delish. And... I could go on, but you should just go. Their service is good, prices are as expected for a downtown bakery, the parking can be tough, and I'd avoid it on First Friday. read more

I bought a Tammie Coe coconut cupcake for the first time at the Phoenix Airport. I didn't get a chance to try it until I was on board my flight. I was blown away by the deliciousness of it. It was most certainly the best cupcake I have ever eaten. I wanted to go back and buy out the concession stand. Well, since that was not possible I am specifically planning to load up with coconut cupcakes on my next trip to and from Phoenix. Tammie Coe coconut cupcakes are simply The Best!!! read more

Tammie Coe Cakes had a booth set up at the Scottsdale farmer's market and my boys (and husband) loved the cookies so much that we had to go back to get more cookies!

Love Tammie Coe cakes, they are always so beautifully decorated and taste amazing. I bet you're asking yourself "Sasha..if you love this place so much why the 3 stars???" Well let me tell you, even though these cakes are both yummy and beautiful, they are ridiculously overpriced (yes, I still buy two for company parties... but I digress...). Also, this location is almost ALWAYS closed, my suggestion is to get your little butt over to La Grande Orange Grocery since they sell them there as well. Be sure to grab a brownie or oatmeal cookie if you don't feel like putting a hole in your wallet to get a cake :) read more

One of my favorite places for sweet treats in the Valley. Always fresh, absolutely scrumptious, and so pretty to look at- these treats should not be missed. I have ordered their cakes and they are the highlight of the party. Last time I was in I bought the buttercream brownie- what a chocolatey dream! The cupcakes are never dry and I could go on and on about the icing. A little pricey but you are paying for the quality and it's worth it! read more

These people have gone out of their way to help me get unique breads. I can call a day or two in advance and they will have what I want waiting. They have suggested breads I had no idea are available. I have been introduced to wonderful flavors from delightful combinations of ingredients I didn't know were available. Their regular retail location is the Roosevelt store. They always have more of a variety available there. They also have a location at 40th St and Campbell where they produce a lot of the bread. I usually order in advance so I use the 40th St location. I wish they had a slicing machine there but the people at La Grand Orange have also been good about doing it for me. I don't know if Roosevelt has one. They are more expensive than your average grocery store. I don't mind paying for quality and that is what you get here. However, II do think they are reasonable in their pricing. It took time for me to find the Roosevelt location the first time. Parking in front of the 40th st location is at a premium. You can save time if you just park in the back. read more

I have been to Tammy Coe on many occasions and I have to say, each time, it's a treat. The MJ cookie is my all time favorite, simply one of the best cookies I've ever eaten. The mini muffins are fantastic, just the right size to try one or two or three or... Even if you're not into sweets, it's worth checking out the store just to see the artistry of the cakes. Each one is truly a work of art. read more

So yummy. This is one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Phoenix. Their sour cream sugar cookies are amazing. Great sandwiches.

I always make a point to inquire as to what people do for Christmas dinner. This is easily mistaken as an interest in learning and understanding other cultures, when in reality I'm just looking for a scapegoat. Just once, when someone screams "YOU EAT CHEF BOYARDEE FOR CHRISTMAS!?" at me, I'd like to be able to say "oh yeah...well [insert your name] eats [insert something like but not necessarily puppy tails and applesauce]!" For like, a long time, my family have made hand-made ravioli for Christmas. It's a long and laborious process that takes up the better part of a Sunday afternoon. So naturally that's when I decided to pick up a gift certificate for someone from Tammie Coe. We're almost knuckle deep in flour and grated cheese when I call to see when they close. The ravioli was going to take us 2-3 hours to finish. And guess how much longer Tammie Coe was open? That's right, 2-3 hours. The smell of dough still fresh on my threads, Misty S and I jetted (or should I say "jetta'd"...fuck you) to central phoenix to pick up the gift certificate before the dogs realized they preferred raw dough to dog food. Now, I had been to Tammie Coe quite a few times, usually in tow with Amanda B. Since layers of delicious frosting tend to clash with layers of expensive makeup, I usually opt out of eating any of their tasty treats. I simply sip on a peach tea and pretend I'm not starving for some fucking cake. But there we were, on a Sunday morning, dressed in our pajamas, having missed breakfast and looking forward to three hours of pasta-making. Misty S said looking at all the food made her hungry. Well, yeah. Saying that Tammie Coe doesn't make you hungry is like saying Bandaids doesn't bring you deep, deep shame. So along with the gift certificate we got two chicken salad sliders, a peach tea, iced chai, and one of those giant chocolate chip cookies I like to call "diabetes frisbees". The sliders were all kinds of delicious. Even my veg-leaning squeeze thought so. And considering the prices at other places in the area, you're not going to beat a $2 sandwich. Unless you rob the place. Would a yelp review count as evidence in court? "Your honor, I present to you Exhibit Y, where the defendant writes 'and as I walked out of the restaurant, money in hand, the cowering hostess muttered to me 'thank you for coming, have a nice day'. Three stars for outstanding hospitality." The peach tea was, as expected, great. I almost wish someone would find a way to fuck up peach tea so I could judge how good all this tea I've been drinking really is. The few sips I had of Misty's iced chai latte were above and beyond Starbucks quality. But then again, what isn't? read more

Visited for the first time yesterday (Thursday), but left without a purchase. I had a few questions concerning some food allergies, but the clerk behind the counter almost didn't care, and it was almost like I had to twist her arm to have her call someone for the info. I mean, these cookies are $2.50 a pop, and I've seen, and eaten, larger-portioned fantastic all-natural cookies being sold for less than that, and for a possible sale of AT LEAST two cookies (and Lord knows how many return visits I would make based on how much I like these cookies), the clerk didn't WANT to make the call?? She actually grimaced. (Funny, but the clerk next door at Chill Out didn't want to call the company that supplies their cookies, either.) Oh, well. Their loss... I had decided then and there that I couldn't, and wouldn't, go back to Tammie Coe again. read more

Everything I've ever tried is amazing! I wouldn't recommend the espresso is the only thing.. but baked goods - everything is awesome!!

I usually hate cupcakes, cake, and any other sugary-sweet pastries you can think of. I get 'sweeted out' way too quick, so I tend to stay away from anything that looks like it might have too much sugary goodness in it. I'm the person you'll see at the birthday party scraping the frosting off the cake...then still only eating a couple bites. Tammy Coe's Red Velvet Cupcakes changed all of that. The creamy yet not overly sweet frosting is what I think does it. The moist red spongy cake covered in this heavenly concoction creates a blast of flavor that is so good it causes temporary lapse of brain function. ...I've yet to try anything else she makes because the red velvet cupcakes are so good, but I'm saving the possible fifth star for when I do. Eventually I'm hoping I'll venture out and try some of her other creations but for now, if you ever see two people wandering the alleys of central phoenix with red dust around their mouths, don't worry it's just my girl and I on a red velvet hangover. 4/5. read more

Amy D. and I were trekking through the First Friday scene when something told me to look to my left. I looked over and immediately shouted "OMG Tammie Coe!" as though I had just spotted Angelina Jolie. Amy and I made a beeline right to their door. I selected a brownie to try while Amy chose the "Ooey Gooey" cupcake with such fervor I thought she was going to faint before finishing her order. 2.75 later, I walked out with my treat. I tore off the first bite and popped it into my mouth. I had to stop and look down at what I just bought! I think they gave me a piece of heaven in a little paper bag! It was gooey on the inside and lightly crispy on top. "YUMMMMMMM" was all I could say! I force fed Amy a bite because I just had to share the joy I was feeling. She too saw Nirvana. I can't wait to go back and try one of their BEAUTIFUL cakes. My 30th b-day is coming up and they might be commissioned to make my dream cake! I hope Tammie Coe and I form a beautiful friendship. It would be nice to have a "celebrity" in your corner! read more

I just had my first Tammie Coe cake last week for my birthday, and I will NEVER be the same again. I don't normally eat cake, in fact, if it's not Brownies, I don't eat it. But this cake drew me in with it's appealing fondant. From there, I got lost in the spongy richness of the cake. A cornicopia of flaverful goodness. So make a metal note to yourself, I will only eat Brownies and Tamie Coe cakes. Oh, and special thanks to Arts G (previous review) for telling me what the hell fondant is. I was just calling it "sheet like frosting". read more

A cupcake shop right near the airport? Sign me up. We had to stop here on our way to PHX...and we were glad we did. While the cupcakes were ok... they tasted like a mix with some crazy sweet frosting that I swear reminded me of Betty Crocker, the shop itself was cute. And they don't call themeselves a bread co. for nothing. Their ciabetta that rode home with us in my carry-on was yummy for the tummy even 24 hours later. The coconut cupcake frosting was pretty bomb, high with the coconut flavor. I'd love to have a cupcake AND bread shop close to me...even if my jeans definitely don't agree. read more

I believe that cupcakes are one of the best desserts available. These miniature cakes seem easy to execute, but I've been to cupcake joints all around the world that have led me to beg to differ! I first found out about Tammie Coe from the 4410 N 40th St location review on Yelp. It was the closest location to where I was -- and I was searching for the best cupcakes around! After reading reviews that said the Roosevelt St location was better, I decided to try both. I had the 4410 N 40th St location cupcakes first. This Tammie Coe location has the same cupcakes as the first one -- Red Velvet, Ooey Gooey and Coconut. I did not try the Coconut because I'm just not a fan in general. Ooey Gooey -- As opposed to the sugar crystal covered cupcake at the 40th St location, this Tammie Coe colored their frosting and gifts you with adorable design aesthetic. I wondered why they differed, so I asked the gentleman behind the counter. He said it just depended on the day. This Ooey Gooey was far superior to the one I tried at the 40th St location. It was moist, sweet -- but not too sweet. The icing was fresh, sweet with a tad of salt to add a delicious dynamic to a normally mundane cupcake combination. I remember eating the Ooey Gooey with its chocolate cake and wondering why Tammie Coe offered so little variety. The lack of sugar crystals made this icing much more enjoyable. Red Velvet -- I can honestly say that this is the best Red Velvet cupcake I've found in my travels so far. I'm continually impressed with its quality. Again, I believe Tammie Coe uses a form of vanilla cake for this cupcake which means it's not a true Red Velvet. And again, who cares! This cupcake melts in your mouth. The icing is divine. And with this flavor combination, the sugar crystals really add a depth of flavor and textural dimension, which is far different from my experience with the 40th St Ooey Gooey. Service at this location was far superior to the 40th St location. They offered us water before taking our cupcakes to go, which I thought was a wonderful touch. So, they gave me the BEST Red Velvet I've had in my travels. Why didn't I give them 5 stars? My biggest complaint of this location (as well as the 40th St location) is their lack of variety. I'd love to see them tackle something more complex or unique. While Ooey Gooey has a cute name, it's just a black and white with fun colors. All in all, go here and get the Red Velvet. It is the best I've had. Just don't be surprised if you are disappointed at everything else they have to offer (or, in this case, fail to offer). read more

I'm not going back to Tammie Coe for a while ... really. My co-workers and I have been making a habit of grabbing lunch from Tammie Coe. It's so close to our office, and we've been enjoying the sandwich of the day and an amazing cookie. We were on a once a week basis with Tammie Coe. I'm done - for now. We've had back to back BAD experiences at Tammie Coe lately. Horrible service!! What happened? My favorite conversation from our last visit: Me (after waiting nearly 20 minutes for my sandwich): Did you put my soup in there? Clerk: Um .... (looks around and sees soup on counter). No, here it is. But, do you want me to put it in something else? In a drink carrier? Me: (puzzled look) Clerk: If I just put it in the bag, it will spill all over. Me: Then yes, please put it in a carrier. (Internally: No, I want my hot soup spilled all over after I waited 20 minutes for a cold sandwich. Toss it in the bag, why dontcha?) The food is still very good. It's just not cheap, and I don't mind paying a bit extra for good food and good service. The staff there is in slow motion or something lately. read more

If there was a "Stuff White People Like" ( stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/ ) Phoenix edition, Tammie Coe would knuckle "Hiking Camelback Mountain in a Sportsbra" and "Talking About Moving to the Garfield District" for the top spot on the list. Okay, Tammie Coe fucking pwns most bakeries around the Valley, but come with it now ... some people act as if Tammie INVENTED butter and flour, mined salt from the Egyptian earth, handcrafted porcelain urns for homespun mixing, and bred a sui generis species of chicken which would bless her cakes with perfectly viscous embryos. Its a bakery. Its good. Its not gonna change your life. Whereas most cities have a plurality of home-hearted, local bakeries, PHX's core is missing exactly that, which magnifies TC's presence and quality. Their cakes are, in fact, beautiful and noticeably take hours of work, but lest we forget the no-frills Mexican, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian/Bavarian bakeries around town that would go toe-to-toe with TC like Rocky vs Ivan Drago. TC trains on those perfectly calibrated weights while the Rockies of the Valley lift rocks and boulder mountains n shit. The fantastic thing is, there is ALWAYS room for a bakery. There are never enough. TC is a favorite spot, particularly for the birthday events I've been to around the valley, for an after-work pick-me-up and a Sunday morning sugar rush. Their selection is inane. I can never decide what I want, actually, what I want is ALL of it. This place is on a very short list of one when it comes to ordering special event baked goods and its just around the block from me, so Tammie Coe *is* my local bakery which entitles me to say, in the words of Nelson Muntz, "HA ha!" read more
