I've lived in a lot of places with great vegan pastries and have no doubt that Cal's is the best in the business. He is constantly coming up with new flavors and types of pastries, and now coffees and teas too, but some of my favorites are the staples like his traditional conchas. It would be a mistake to not come here. read more

I've tried Cal's goods here and there. Was super excited to have such a wide variety of goodies. The new place is spacious and immaculate. The seats were super comfy. Plenty of seating. The employees were friendly and helpful. I selected the brioche sugar and the brioche blueberry. Both were fresh, scrumptious and filling. I had an ube latte, and after asking about ube horchata, was informed that they are on the "secret menu" , got one to go! OMG these folks are going to get tired of seeing my face here! read more

The long awaited brick & mortar finally opened. First visit on opening weekend was not successful when we arrived about 11am, but the selections were pretty much gone. We left disappointed. I returned mid-week and the yumminess was in full motion. Had a couple delicious treats and a couple to go. Cal is a very hands on and friendly owner, and Mama was around too. Gotta go back for other choices. You won't be disappointed and glad the shop finally opened. read more

I like to support small businesses - especially when they are able to expand - All the best to this cute bakery! The lemon berry filled doughnut was a delight - really tasty filling and not an overly sweet doughnut. The cinnamon roll 4 out of 10; the sugar icing was minimal.. perhaps consider a cream cheese frosting :) The roll seemed light on cinnamon - it reminded me more of a breakfast roll than a cinnamon roll. I'll definitely be back! read more

Im actually in awe over this Boston cream donut. Anytime I see a vegan Boston cream I get it, even though I know it's gonna be an insane amount of sugar and I'm going to feel horrible. THIS ONE HOWEVER.... was an EXPERIENCE. I'm pretty sure they used melted dark chocolate on top instead of some overly sweet chocolate frosting. The custard also seemed homemade and not just a glob of pudding. This donut was culinary perfection. Also the maple glazed cronut??? I need every donut to be a cronut now. Amazing. Also!! The concha de fresas con crema.. best concha I've ever had, vegan or not. read more

Unimpressed and highly disappointing experience. We stopped in on 10/25/2025 @ 7:30am when they opened. Just a few people already lined up outside. Cal was there making fresh hot drinks. We were let down by the minimal selection available. We got 2 apple & cinnamon cronut along with 1 lemon & berry cronut. The dough for both was not flavorful. Both cronuts had filling that tasted nothing like the descriptions, just like a custard. There was no posted prices for any items in the store. We paid $13.00 for the two cronies. The flow of the store seems backwards because the line backs up at the front door as soon as there are more than 1 person lined up. The vibes of this store were uninviting. Now we can say we tried it, but we can also say that we won't be back to support unfortunately. read more

Great amazing donuts. Enjoy them before they're gone. Very different kinda donuts. Get there early

Cal's currently posts on Instagram the locations where you can find his baked goods. There are multiple locations around Tucson that carry Cal's, but at this time Hello Bicycle and Cafe on Dodge is the closest to me and I still go out of my way because Cal's cronuts are worth it! read more

We got two drinks and 4 donuts. Total was around $35-$40. I think the taste was great but i would feel better coming back if the prices were more fair. Service was great! read more

I'd never heard of Cal's until the shop opened so I'd never tried their pastries before now. We had gone a few days after the grand opening and they were completely sold out by 0900. Thought that was a good sign of quality so I went back today at an earlier time to get some goodies. I honestly couldn't be more disappointed and wish I would have just gone to La Estrella. My interaction with the employees was odd and the person ringing me up was pretty unhelpful and not very friendly. I got 6 items and it cost me $30 which would have been fine if everything was amazing but sadly almost everything was poorly made. I also asked for a lemon donut and didn't get anything that tasted of lemon so I'm assuming that item was forgotten because the employees were talking to each other while my order was being made. I didn't get a receipt (maybe my fault, not sure if I had the option to get one or not) so I can't tell if I paid for it or not. Now for the pastries. The "cinnamon roll" is not a traditional American style cinnamon roll which is fine but it didn't really taste of cinnamon and was honestly boring. I think I got brioche donuts and the cinnamon sugar one had a big dough clump in the middle and the glazed ones just tasted of oil, they were barely glazed with no glazing on the bottom. The best item was a concha with crème and strawberry but it still wasn't worth the drive and price. I'm not an extremely picky person but honestly I cannot understand the following after this experience. read more

Oye daughter and grandsons prefer vegan options and Cal's has fantastic vegan donuts!

le been a big Cal supporter for some time low. I was so excited for them to finally open a brick and mortar I decided to drive 45 minutes from Oro Valley to be there 15 minutes for their grand opening at 9am. Upon arrival I was pleased to see a line half way down the parking lot. By 9am the line was wrapped around the entire lot. Understandably we were informed at this time that we would only get 6 pastries per person/gtoup. After an hour waiting in line we were informed that the limit per person was now going to be 4. Another 30 minutes later and just before entering the door we were informed the limit was now 2. No more than 5 minutes later I finally made it in to buy Cronuts I stood in line for only to see the last ones sold two people in front of me. The reason for my poor review has nothing to do with the fact that Cal's had such a big turn out for their grand opening that I didn't get what I came for but rather the owners lack of care. I made a suggestion that they honor the grand opening discount to a future visit for those of us that waited in line but it fell on deaf ears and neither Cal nor his brother Husky seemed to care what so ever. hate leaving this poor review but you would think there would be some consideration given after chasing their pastry drops all around Tucson, driving from OV, waiting in line for an hour and half. I hope they get their customer service figured out so they can have lasting success but until then I won't be supporting. Good luck! read more

I had been lucky enough in the past to buy some of Cal's pull-aparts and enjoyed them very much, so I've been interested in trying the doughnuts/conchas. I took a chance and special ordered the March bundle from him. My co-workers and I the best time trying each one. Everything was soft, tasty, and of course, sweet. Our favorites were the cronuts and the conchas. We liked the soft but flaky dough of the cronuts and how the flavors of their respective fruit (strawberry and lime), was just right - you could taste the butter in the pastry and the brightness of the fruit, all balanced out with the sugar/frosting. The chocolate on the conchas were rich and complemented the concha's crumble topping and spongy bread. All the others were good and the filling in each doughnut was a lot more plentiful than expected; we definitely didn't feel cheated and look forward to another treat day like this. read more

This shop is so delicious! We had a croissant & donut collab with fresh strawberries and that was amazing. Music was chill & on point ! Go early there is a line when they open read more

The donuts are OK but very overpriced, paifd $31.00 for 6 donuts. There are better options in Tucson.

This is one of my top 5 favorite bakers in all of Tucson. The fig and butter Cronut is absolutely incredible. The blueberry filled donut is everything a fruit pastry should be. The chai Kouign amann is perfectly balanced with sweet and warmth. And!!!! They are vegan- which means I can eat them with out downing a bottle of lactaid! Perfect! Cal is awesome a great human so it makes supporting his business and eating pastries all the better. read more

I will definitely buy again! read more
