Beyond Bread is a Tucson staple that I grew up on and still love just as much as I did when I was a kid, if not more. I've been here at least 100 times and usually get the exact same thing: a plain Jane on white with turkey, mayo, provolone, avocado, and lettuce with kettle chips as the side. I also get a cannoli when they still have some. The food is always amazing! It is single-handedly the best bread and sandwich I've had anywhere and I get it every time I visit Tucson now that I've moved. The bread is so good that buy a large loaf and take it home with me to make sandwiches with. The people who work here are super sweet and friendly. They work quickly even when they're completely packed. I've never once had a problem with my order being incorrect or how I've been treated there. It has only ever been a positive experience. The restaurant itself is lovely. There is a good amount of seating but sometimes you do have to troll for a seat when it's really busy. The space is clean and easy to move around. The bathrooms are also clean and are kept well-stocked. The parking in the shopping center is difficult but that's because both Beyond Bread and Bookmans share the parking lot so there are just a lot of people there in general. I love this place and I hope you do too. If you haven't been, you just don't know you love it yet. read more

If you've ever needed a reliable, addicting lunch spot, Beyond Bread on Speedway absolutely delivers. Their veggie shawarma is so freaking good--warm, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. It's hearty, satisfying, and proof that vegetarian options don't have to feel like an afterthought. And major bonus points for the vegan version of their Unreal Reuben. Finding a plant-based Reuben that actually hits the spot isn't easy, and this one does. Savory, comforting, and done right. Yes, it's usually busy--but that's because people know what they're doing here. Orders move quickly, the food is consistent, and it's an excellent go-to for lunch when you want something filling without feeling heavy. Busy, beloved, and very easy to get hooked on. read more

Beyond Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

During the hectic holiday season, I really appreciate having a quick and convenient place to grab desserts and bread, and Beyond Bread is perfect for that. It's an easy stop when I need something last minute, and the moment you walk in, the smell of freshly baked bread is amazing. The staff is always super friendly, which makes the experience even better. I love their small pies because they let you enjoy dessert without feeling too guilty, and they offer a great variety of flavors. My favorites are the Black Forest pie and the fruit pies, especially cherry and apple. I also regularly pick up their pretzel and sourdough bread. Beyond Bread is my go-to spot when I need something quick, comforting, and reliably delicious. read more

This is a Tucson gem. You will only find it in Tucson, which also adds to its charm. As the name states "beyond bread" meaning they offer a large variety of items. Most come for the sandwiches and soups, but you can get, pastries, cakes, fresh baked bread, cookies etc. My family loves this place, and we've never had a bad sandwich here. The portions ares huge, younger me could have finished everything, sadly now I eat half and take the other half home. The service is always welcoming which is always a plus. It can get very busy at lunch rush, but the line moves fairly quickly. They do offer both patio and indoor seating so finding a table isn't too bad as it's self seating. Overall, when I visit I love coming by and supporting this establishment. read more

Another favorite. The egg and cheese filling in this quiche was so creamy I wondered what they put in it. I would totally get this again. By the way you can pick these up at Back Dough, and many other pies, including beef pot pie which I have yet to try. read more

Sandwiches are huge great prices. Service is always great staff is friendly and welcoming. Restaurant is clean.

I entered an online order. When I arrived the curbside pickup parking spots were taken by folx dining in. I called and got hung up on twice. On the third time, I was able to get my order. When checking my order, an item was missing. I called 5 times and 2 times I got an answer and then got hung up on; when I was able to speak with someone at Beyond Bread, I was told that they were busy and that the item missing from me order was void and that I should have been told. When I asked why I was hung up on, I was told they were busy. What?! I am going to take a break from coming here. Just annoyed by the experience overall. read more

Stopped by to have a breakfast sandwich. I had a sandwich with Monterey cheese, ham, and egg. The egg was overcooked. The sandwich was a good portion but the ham didn't have much flavor. Service was average for a Wednesday morning. read more

Excellent baked goods! I enjoyed the scones and sourdough bread. The staff are friendly.

The food was great, but the breads and desserts were amazing! Nice location for a lunch with a friend or to grab something to go.

Not the same experience as the restaurant on Ina; however Beyond Bread anywhere was delicious

Always good food and fresh food. Convenient ordering a nice menu and a nice environment. I eat there whenever I have time for lunch since I live over 75 miles away and only come into Tucson every couple of weeks or so. read more

Back to Beyond Bread. Love this place. Sunday soup is chicken and dumplings. OMG. Sooo good. But the server had some sort of piercing hanging out of her nose! Ugh! Gross in her role as a server. Not a problem with piercings, just not here and now! Yuck! Is it so hard to get good help? read more

Beyond Bread is Tucson Born, and such a special local establishment...never had a bad experience here. Ambiance/Cleanliness-It's a busy working bakery cafe...has some well chosen colors/furniture and lighting. It shows thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Never been there when it wasn't busy, but it is always clean. Ample outdoor space for those that like it. 4 stars Service-Never bad, never great...3 stars Food-Last time I went, had the Morgan's Merger- Egg, ham, Swiss, roasted red peppers, red onion on White. Lovely sandwich, reasonably priced. All of the baked goods have been superb....the epi' is my favorite. 4 stars read more

1st-- Nobody in the country matches KATZ's Deli in NYC for a Pastrami Sandwich, however, moving forward... I decided to give 'um a try since it was their 'special' this month. $22.26 Pastrami on Rye, Swiss, Pickles & Russian Dressing grilled. Cole Slaw & Med D. Dr. Pepper. B4 you try to have the Cole Slaw, you must mix it in it's plastic portioned container. All the mix sinks, so you'll get nothing but 'dry' cabbage etc.. The sandwich is an 'okay' portion of meat, but not lean by any stretch. The bread is outstanding. The inside is clean well played out & quite a selection of not only breads of all kinds, but pastries that look anything but Low-Cal LOL-- Drink station, condiments etc was so nice & clean. Service was GREAT @ the "Place Order Here". Was fast on delivery of order as well. But, I'd pay $20+ for a bigger, leaner sandwich than what I got. Actually, there were slices that looked burnt on the edges. Not acceptable. So, will I return, most likely for a speciality 'loaf', or two, but not another sandwich. Sorry but, too many choices here in Tucson. PS》 I drove 7miles to try this. read more

Beyond Bread is such a Tucson staple when it comes to great sandwiches. I tried the Molly's Crisis for the first time and it was a great summer choice. The sandwich was packed full of delicious turkey and for $13 it's a great deal!! I was even able to add onions at no additional cost. They never disappoint and are always fresh and delicious. My only complaint when it comes to Beyond Bread is that they are only open to 7pm every day which to me feels too early. read more

I'm a new customer to Beyond Bread and I'm so glad. Service is quick and kind and the food doesn't disappoint. They don't skimp on sandwich fixings like some places. I love the unreal Ruben. That's the best veggie lunch meat there is and they pile it on. They even have the best side of apples in town. And their Russian salad dressing is unmatched anywhere. Perfect! read more

It was our first time here, and we decided to try it based on the reviews. The lady taking our order was fantastic--she clearly explained the menu, shared her personal favorites, and pointed out popular dishes. The restaurant itself is clean and nicely decorated. There's also a "back dough" (back door) that leads to a separate room where you can order pies to go. I tried the pecan pie, and it was absolutely delicious! read more

I eat here at least 3x a month, this location has my heart. Jasmine has answered the phone and taken my order a few times for me, she's thorough and patient as well as knowledgeable! If I come in to pick up, every member of the staff is equipped with a task, they are extremely personable and spite being very attentive to their orders and back of the house routines the front of house is clearly the other side to the coin that is Beyond Bread. It's an amazing network of efficiency. The management is always to be seen doing the same as their employees, they have the answers and the food is consistently dependable. Great job everyone at this location! read more

Great bakery that serves up a large variety of sandwiches and sweet baked goods. My friends and I ordered sandwiches to-go for a hike, and they were packed with fresh, tasty ingredients. When ordering, pay attention to some of the menu icons - I appreciated that there was even a little tooth icon that indicated crusty bread (which indeed, my Bart's Bag sandwich with baguette was a bit harder to bite through, but very delicious!). The bakery also sells different sweet baked goods ranging from muffins to cookies to cakes. Their cakes and turnovers looked popular and we noticed they were also selling huge king's cakes for upcoming Mardi Gras. read more

I ate lunch at this Beyond Bread location yesterday, got up to leave---and forgot my leftover sandwich and chips. I went back to look for it, and asked the manager if they'd found it. They hadn't---but they made me a whole new sandwich to replace it! FANTASTIC customer service. It's service and consideration like this that makes Beyond Bread a Tucson institution. read more

Yesterday (11/11) for an early dinner, a friend and I came by, she had never been to beyond bread, she was thoroughly pleased with my suggestion for dinner. I have been here several times, but I have never had the Coconut Curry soup, it was absolutely amazing. Neither of us really care for wheat pita pocket bread so we chose another bread for our sandwich. We both had the Kalid's Kurry sandwich, totally scrumptious. We are both going to figure out the sandwich, makings here. The combo was absolutely supercalifragilisticexpialidociously delicious! My friend here as you can see has two big thumbs up and I sat there and did my little "happy dance" while eating my Coconut Curry soup. The staff at Beyond Bread on Speedway, Tucson, Arizona, hats off to everyone of them. The young ladies who waited on us, took our orders and so on, greeted us with smiles, were very polite and professional, and very helpful with our questions. Our surroundings were quiet and very comfortable. Now, for a huge honest request, I was wondering if at all possible I could receive the recipe for the Coconut Curry soup. I trust you will see this as a great compliment to you and your establishment in every way. Again, thank you for the amazing dinner. read more

12/22/23. Rainy and gloomy. Makes you wanna curl up and read a book. Mission shopping done so had to replenish. First time here- Christmas Chaos, but they served me well.

Beyond Bread - Plain Jane (chicken sandwich) on rye and my choice of drink, tomato bisque - Bakeries Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I'm not a sweet-tooth and say you MUST try the magic bar (cookie with chocolate chips, walnuts, and coconut shavings layered on top). A bit of a long wait on a not-so-busy day (seemingly, anyway) but the hostess was kind and friendly. The tomato soup was nice and tastes fresh, though it came out a bit cold and I'm unsure if that is on purpose or not. It's pulpy with chunks of tomato which I enjoyed. The tuna sandwich was good, just what you might expect. And the Cordon Bleu sandwich also had a nice flavor. I liked the savory and sweet combination. The bread was a bit hard to bite on the crust and im unsure if it was because of the thickness or if it was a little stale as my partner stated, but i didnt mind it. I just broke it off and dipped into my soup. I also enjoyed the iced chai which was sweet jn a good way and actually had a good chai flavor. Im sure I'll stop by on another occasion to try some of their bakery items. read more

Everything I've ordered there has been great. Sandwiches, pastries, coffee, all good. Great place to hang out, if you so desire

It's ok. You have to order at the counter. Food is ok. Not spectacular. You have to wait for your drinks if you order wine. Best I can give is an overpriced sandwich shop. We had the Reuben. We couldn't cut thru the crust w a knife let alone with teeth. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant read more

The food is very consistent and the tomato soup is probably the best thing on the menu followed behind the avis avo!

Good food and pleasant staff - beyond bread is the place we hang in for the season...

Ordered a sandwich $12. The bread, cheese, Mayo and guacamole were room temperature but the chicken whole breast cut in half was almost freezer cold. Was not appetizing. I ended up taking the chicken off and eating it like an avocado toast. Wife had soup $6.75 and she said it was ok. Not hot not cold. Watching other people eat their food and I didn't see anyone who finished their meal. Most went into the trash. The people sitting next to us had a cinnamon roll that looked good and gooey. But they didn't finish their's either. Thank you to the owner for the offer to let me try it again. But at this time I'm not interested in trying it again. But thanks for responding. read more
