Don Guerra has mastered the art of bread making where lines of people await his tasty craft. I got the spelt loaf. What a yummy, bread starved, dieters satisfying treat! Youdon?t necessarily have to avoid bread if you go to Barrio Bread and receive a bit of education about bread making. I feel I meta celebrity today! Thank you Don for the pizza kit!

When I've spent months away, Barrio Bread is one of the things I miss most and it is one of the first places I reccomend people check out if they're coming to town. I've never had bread thisgood anywhere else in my entire life. Artisan bakeries in Chicago, France, Colombia, Germany, this place still has them all beatby a mile. Prices are decent too. You could charge $25 bucks for a loaf and it would still be worth it. I just wouldn't be ableto afford: You can tell the owner really cares about the community and the craft. I can't say enough good things about thisplace.

Nothing satisfies like warm bread and butter. Barrio Bread evokes that same feeling. The crunch of the crust. The tenderness ofthe crumb. The delicate richness of the flavor. We have tried nearly every type James Beard Award winner, Don Guerra bakes. It'simpossible to decide a favorite. The deep complexity of the Seeded Whole Wheat and the determined sweetness of the ApricotCranberry are perfectly balanced. Pan Levain, perfect with a hardy soup. As I said, impossible to choose. Try them all. The linemoves along quickly. Any wait is worth your time.

I?ve wasted years. This bread is phenomenal. I bought four varieties as we left town,devoured a baguette in the parking lot, then began rationing the others as we drove home. I would drive there weekly for thisbread, and I don?t usually eat bread. It is so good, even the loaf I froze and later thawed to get home. Do not miss this Tucsontreasure.
