    I was so excited to try a lot Estrella bakery because my favorite coffee shop is nearby. It was a really long line to get in the door and several items in the cabinet were sold out so I thought it would be amazing. I tried a couple items and I really wasn't impressed by any of them. The pastries were too sweet and kind of dense without enough filling for my preference :(

    Cochitos and pumpkin empanada
    julie k.

    Favorite place for baked goods. Best empanadas and cochitos available! I like my cochitos a couple of days old....dunk them in my coffee. Better than biscotti, only way to fly..... The nice thing about this location is the courtyard. Presta Coffee, Seis, Agustin Kitchen, are all right there. Busy spot but not long wait time.... Staff always smiling and helpful. Always a good sign. Terrific people watching too! Thursday afternoon is the farmers market which is a little smaller this time of year, but autumn is just around the corner! If you are a fan of the fruit empanadas I do recommend getting there early. That flavor is extremely popular and sells out quickly. However there are other flavors to choose from.... Cherry, and apple, pineapple... you get the idea. See you there!

    I got a slice of cake from here at Bavarian cream and crushed peppermint on the icing. I was so excited to eat it, but when I opened the bag, I was shocked to find the slice of cake was just thrown in there, no wrapping, no box.. nothing. Because of this, the cake was extremely dry when I ate it. This really took away from the cake I feel. Who knows if it was delicious or not. all I know is I would not eat that again.

    My gingerbread and molasses cookie and my Americano. Super YUM

    Darn. This is kind of place that gives my blood sugar nightmares, but holy cow is it GOOD. The bakery items are made on site, super fresh and amazing. Walked out with a bag and sat next door with a cup of coffee and enjoyed one of my gingerbread and molasses cookies. Everything I could do to not open my bag and eat the rest of what I bought. Cookie was beautifully flavored, not overpowering and the molasses added a nice finish. And it was soft, like melt-in-your-mouth soft. Estrella Bakery part of the little Mercado shopping courtyard in Tucson. Good parking across street in front and behind location. Short walk (less than 2 mins) puts you in the courtyard. There are a couple restaurants and shops around the courtyard making for a great experience. Tables all outside in the courtyard to enjoy a nice day. Bakery and coffee employees very friendly. I'm honestly thinking I'd drive down again from San Tan Valley just to go here ... it's that good. If you are in Tucson for any reason, I'd confidently say the bakery is a MUST STOP. I got half a bag of bakery goods for $8. You can't beat it.

    Always a good time when I pop in here. Beautiful and delicious treats. Friendly staff. I like to pop in here and get the mini donuts on my way to work (chocolate, glaze, sugar)

    We've tried several donut shops in the area and it seems that after the 1st day, they are hard as a rock. Not so with La Estrella donuts. They are so tender and don't need a lot of embellishment. I really like them plain or rolled in sugar. They are so tender and delicious and we can enjoy them over several days without them becoming inedible. The staff are always so kind and they love encouraging us to try new treats. Absolutely, love this place. You can tell that everything is made fresh and with love. My hubby makes a run every couple of weeks to ensure we have them on hand with our coffee in the morning.

    New location for this well-known Tucson bakery, inside the Mercado San Augustin located in downtown. Nice selection of Mexican and American pastries. Both the corn and flour tortillas they sell here are totally legit. I liked both, but the flour ones are AWESOME! Friendly service. It's a small casual spot with a just a few tables inside, and plenty of outdoor seating.

    Ok so not a vegan stop , butttttttt they have some really yummy vegan snacks ! I LOVE the chickpea chicharrones!

    Wonderful Mexican bakery! Such delicious baked goods for a great value. I went to the location in the Mercado San Augustin, which was so pleasant in the early morning when they first open. I love seeing such a beautiful bounty of tasty goods! Especially when they're fresh out the oven. Very authentic taste per treat. The staff was also friendly and helpful. Looking forward to getting another box of another assortment!

    Three-color large cookie

    Excellent and affordable pastries always! I always get a pink and white twist, three color cookie, and custard-filled "cannoli"-shaped pastry.

There are many flavor options and even a couple of non-dairy choices. The service is a bit hit-or-miss, and really just depends on the staff there at the time as well as the specific location. Beyond the regular cones and cups they also have some options such as the flight, nachos, and the banana split. They also specific which flavors have gluten. They used to advertise that their dairy came from grass-fed cows, but that stopped a few years ago so I'm guessing that is no longer the case. While that's what caught my attention and actually got me in the door, I've stayed a customer because they do mention that their dairy comes from cows that have not been given antibiotics or hormones. So for those who pay attention to such things, take note! This locations is pretty small but I do like that they have just a couple of outdoor tables with chairs so that I can sit outside when it's nice weather.

I didn't taste the Biscoff as much but nonetheless very good. Ube- 9/10 I love Ube and they did right with it. I do wish there was more frosting on it and I didn't like the marshmallows but not a big deal as my kids like those. Dole Whip- 11/10 The girl suggested to mix the flavors and I'm glad I listened because it was really good. You can add toppings but I just added coconut. I think it's very nice that they have complimentary water too. Overall I enjoyed their rolls. They were not dense or dry, even though I wasn't able try them until 3-4 hours after purchase. I'd go back for sure.
