    Entrance off Grande ave
    Becky W.

    During my childhood this building was known as El Rio bakery. When the family decided to close it, many worried it would be a empty building. I think it was terrific that La Estrella decided to move in for another location. I am unsure how many years they have been here but it is always special to walk into a bakery that has its own space. They had lots to offer; tortillas of course, fresh bread, and lots of Mexican bakery delights! Today I felt like empanadas instead of pan de huevo, which many now call conchas. Cochitos (pig shaped molasses cookies) are our favorite. But you never can go wrong with their glazed donuts. So many delights to explore but today was a great day to visit Estrella bakery after walking and visiting with vendors at the Tucson organic garden plant sale today.

    One of the best bakeries I've visited offers conchas that are incredibly soft and spongy, almost like marshmallow heaven in your mouth. The service is both fast and friendly. Although the demand is high and the line often stretches around the corner, the staff does their best to serve customers quickly. The atmosphere is very comfortable, creating a sense of safety and being aesthetically pleasing.

    This is Estrella's third store jn town. My Neighbor shop was previously at the mercado San Agustin, but I prefer this one now because it's away from the crowded MSA and there more room to walk inside and view the pastries. This shop actually is now the bakery that supplies the items for the MSA store. The kitchen looks really big! You can expect all of the same baked goods at all the locations. My favorite is the hebilla (belt buckle shaped bread). I also love the cuernos and their Mexican wedding cookies. If you need a large order they are supper accommodating. You just need to give them 24 Hours notices. They also make mini sizes upon request!

    La Estella... what do I say about you orher than you are my kind of bakery - cozy, homey, delish and just you!!

    Disliked it so much I went elsewhere for the good stuff.

    I've come back twice since my first review and both times got their cochito. Although not "traditional" it's pretty good. It's a basic and cheap $1 cochito that has been the exact same on two separate visits, which is to say the inconsistency issue I noted before appears to be addressed with a standardized cochito recipe. Good. Also both times I came in there was one person at the counter, not many, and the exchange was subtle and quick. Which again is a good improvement. Good job. I will be back at a later time to assess the jelly rolls, conchas, etc.

    Great bakery! I'm normally not a huge fan of maranitos, but these were SO soft and the flavor was incredible. My family enjoyed everything we purchased. You can tell this team is really committed to fresh baked goods.

    Stopped by just to grab a couple of conchas and I can say that the conchas are some of the best I've had.

    After seeing Chez Peachy continue to pop up across my social media, I finally decided to give it a…read moretry, which was of course a FANTASTIC decision! Don't tell your mom or grandma, but these are probably the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had in my life! The classic cinnamon roll will be a must purchase every time I visit from here on out. May have gone a little overboard trying the seasonal flavors, but when in Rome right?! Sampled the Blueberry Muffin, Banana Pudding, Peach Cobbler, and Biscoff Cookie rolls as well, which were all delicious. They are tender, fluffy, and buttery! Was expecting blueberry and banana to be my favorite seasonal ones, but the Biscoff Cookie stole the show! Given the size and sweetness, think I'll be getting one classic and one seasonal from here on out. The inside of the bakery is also super cute and Christa, the owner, is just as sweet as her baked goods! Also worth noting I brought my pup along to get our order and there were no issues having her. One thing to be aware of - get there early and be prepared to wait. We arrived right at 10 AM when they opened and wait about 20 minutes, which wasn't a problem at all. Definitely err on the side of caution and arrive early to avoid long waits or select flavors running out though. Overall, Chez Peachy is definitely worth the hype and somewhere I look forward to check out from time to time and around the holidays or when guests are in town!

    Ok TikTok made me do it. I should've gone earlier. The only…read morething left was banana. I like banana but it's not what I would've chosen. The roll was good. I think it was a bit bland but idk how much banana is too much. I'd had preferred dried banana chips on top as it was late in the day and the banana slices looked very sad. The vibe is great and staff friendly. Don't know if I'd go again for the hype

You order your pies and take them to go. There is no seating. The girl working the counter was fantastic. She was friendly and helped answer my questions. They have a selection of pies, from fruit and cream to pot pies. They are all decently sized "mini" pies for $7.99. Plus if you return 10 pie tins you get a free pie. I ordered the Kahlua cream cheese and a strawberry margarita. In true fashion of wanting to try both I took a quarter of each. This was a lot of pie! I should have only tried one per night. The flavors are good and blend together beautifully that it isn't too terribly rich or tart. These are a fun treat to have as I don't have pie often. There are other flavors I will definitely be trying in the future.

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.
