Remarkably, their signature loaves and rolls are even more delicious than my cherished memories of childhood—taking the tram to school while enjoying a hot buttered Kaiser roll from my local bakery in Graz, Austria, which has been around for over 500 years. Barrio Breads not only creates the finest bread I have ever experienced, but I genuinely can't fathom any bread being better. They offer world-class bread right in our neighborhood. Simply incredible!

I can't believe I waited so long! The bread is absolutely amazing. I bought four different types before leaving town and devoured a baguette in the parking lot, then started rationing the others on the way home. I would gladly drive there every week for this bread, and I don't usually eat much bread. It's that good—even the loaf I froze and later thawed tasted fantastic. Don't miss out on this gem in Tucson!

Nothing is quite as satisfying as warm bread with butter. Barrio Bread brings back those same feelings. The satisfying crunch of the crust, the tenderness of the crumb, and the delicate richness of the flavor all come together beautifully. We've sampled nearly every bread made by James Beard Award-winning baker Don Guerra, and it’s impossible to pick a favorite. The deep complexity of the Seeded Whole Wheat pairs perfectly with the delightful sweetness of the Apricot Cranberry. The Pan Levain is fantastic with a hearty soup. As I mentioned, choosing just one is nearly impossible—try them all! The line moves quickly, and any wait is definitely worth it.
