I've seen these pastries on instagram but only in California, had no idea we had one here In the valley, thanks to my niece Mia, for showing me a reel. We had their mango bliss and their pistachio croissant, The mango bliss was everything I hoped it would be from the moment I bit into it, full of flavor, the real mango inside was perfect. Would I buy this again,YES! Next to try is the dragon egg, but was sold out. Service was fast, although I do feel that a smile would go a long way, I don't want to take away from the pastries so my rating of stars stay. It's small inside but plenty of seating outside. read more

I had heard so many great things about the Art of Baking and happened to be downtown. I really love they are open later than most bakeries! There is parking garages and metered parking nearby. We went midday and they had almost everything available. We went with a mango pastry, very berry cookie and a cheesecake cake pop. Everything was very fresh and had great flavor. I'll need to come back to try their raspberry cream cheese bow next! read more

Saw this bakery on social media and had to give it a try, and I'm glad we did. Located in downtown Phoenix, it was easy to get to and, being a Sunday, parking wasn't an issue at all. The bakery itself is very cute and inviting, but there's no indoor seating. Normally that wouldn't be a huge problem, but in May in Arizona the outdoor seating was just too hot for us to really sit and enjoy our pastries there. We ordered three pastries: the lemon cheesecake on a red velvet base, the lavender choux, and the coconut mango choux. The lemon cheesecake was absolutely wonderful -- light, airy, flavorful, and not overly heavy. Definitely a standout. The coconut mango choux was just as delicious and another item we would happily order again. Unfortunately, the lavender choux wasn't quite for us. Lavender can be tricky in desserts because it can sometimes lean too floral, and this one ended up tasting a bit soapy. The boxes for carry out are very nice and don't crush the pastries. Something small but def noticeable There are also drink options but we did not try any Even with that one miss, the other pastries were excellent and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area. read more

This was my first time trying The Art of Baking and i tried two pastries that definitely made the visit worth it. The Texas BBQ Brisket croissant was straight-up fire; flaky, buttery layers wrapped around that smoky, savory brisket. It's one of those bites that makes you pause for a second because it hits all the right notes. I also grabbed the Lemon Blueberry pastry, which was tasty in a totally different way. It's not overly sweet. The brightness of the lemon and the pop of blueberry came through without being drowned in sugar. Overall, a solid spot with pastries that feel thoughtful and well-balanced. I'll be back to explore more of their menu. read more

We came for the viral fruit pastries and they are worth the hype. We tried a variety and all of them were delicious. Service was great! The shop it self is fairly small but there is seating outdoors. They also have coffee and other pastries as well read more

Cute little shop downtown. Street metered parking is right near the shop. Very clean inside. I enjoyed my 2 pastries and the butter chicken croissant a lot! If in the area again I'd definitely go back. read more

Nice little shop, good customer service, and pretty tasty pastries! If you're looking for those tromp l'oeil fruit pastries, this is a great place to try them from. Now I understand why their mango passionfruit is so popular - fruit curd, smooth delicate mousse, thin chocolate shell, and a perfectly baked biscuit. Delicious summer treat, worth the $13. Only thing though is that I'd recommend is to stick with the tromp l'oeil desserts. The choux buns are hit or miss to me - good crunchy cracquelin but the lavender blueberry was overpowered by the blueberry, banoffee could have benefited from more caramel, and the coconut mango passionfruit had too much curd. Some of them also looked kind of flat, so it seemed like they didn't rise properly in the oven. If you do end up trying their choux buns, the pistachio one was pretty good. Only one I would buy again. read more

Cute bake shop with fancy pastries and desserts. The inside decor is really appealing from the walls to the ceiling. The staff is friendly and helpful. I tried the Texas Brisket croissant and lemon blueberry croissant. I was so eager to try them I forgot to take pictures of them. I really enjoyed both of them. I'm more of a savory foodie than sweet, so the brisket croissant I loved. The lemon blueberry one was good because it wasn't too sweet. read more

The Art Of Baking - Fruit tart - Bakeries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Finally made it!! The time on Google is incorrect they open at 8am. I met Evelyn, who was extremely sweet and cute. My baby girl is on a Matcha kick lately so of course she tried it from here. The shop has a small variety of different pastries to choose from. The gold flakes on the crème brûlée was appealing and we had to get that too! I tried to caramel macchiato because there isn't much of a selection and it wasn't a favorite. We were the only two in there so it was quick, super friendly service. read more

I ordered a lemon and blueberry croissant for delivery through Postmates so I can't speak for customer service from the staff or the ambiance. My ordered arrived quickly in an elegantly packaged and sturdy box with handles. I can see this working if ordering as a gift as well. The croissant was tasty, flaky, light with just the right amount of sweetness. The tartness of the lemon and blueberries worked quite well to elevate and give the pastry nice fresh notes. Will definitely order other items to try! read more

This was delicious! It's a small spot downtown, but you'll find meter parking and some lot and garage parking within a 5 minute walk. It is right by Chase Field. There's one small table inside and some outdoor patio seating. The smell will hit you in the best way when you enter. This is an artisan bakery and cafe, with pastries made fresh daily. This means that they don't always have every selection on hand every day. But don't you worry! Whatever they have will be worth it! I got the spicy ham and cheese croissant and my friend got the raspberry cream cheese croissant. Both were so favorable and honestly beautiful. I got a yuzu hibiscus iced tea and my friend got the tiramisu iced coffee. We were in heaven. The staff were friendly and attentive, and I'll try to stop in next time I'm downtown! read more

It's a cute spot that kinda ducked off. So make sure you drive slow and look at the Cornor when driving out of town ppl, like me. It's cute and small with limited seating. But the dessert are a work of art. All beautiful to the eye. And Amazing in the mouth lol. I forgot to take pictures but I got the mango( which was a mix of mango and passionfruit) the lemon that was really good my favorite and the white chocolate cheesecake that was good as well. Go check them out for dessert. read more

I stopped by The Art of Baking while visiting Arizona, and it was such a pleasant experience. The gentleman who greeted us--who I'm pretty sure was the owner--was incredibly warm and welcoming. The shop itself is a small, charming bakery tucked near Chase Field. I tried both the lemon and mango desserts. The lemon was my favorite: bright flavor, a great balance of sweet and tart, and even without a crunchy exterior, it was still delicious. As for the mango, I've tried just about every viral mango dessert in Los Angeles, and TAoB's version really stands on its own. It comes on a long cookie base and is the only glossy-style mango dessert I've had. If you love mango, this one delivers--intense mango flavor with small chunks inside, no cake layer, just mousse and fruit, which I personally prefer. It's not crunchy, but that didn't take away from the experience. I had ordered other viral fruit desserts from local home bakers in Arizona, but I specifically waited for The Art of Baking to release their mango--and it was absolutely worth it. read more

The Art Of Baking - Lemon Cheese Cake MANGO BLISS - Bakeries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The Art of Baking was OK, but I wouldn't personally return. My caramel croissant was a bit dry, rather than the buttery, flaky goodness I was hoping for. The prices are also rather high. I think I paid around $7 for it. The small interior means there isn't really much room to linger, so it's definitely more geared toward grab-and-go. The service was average. read more

had my eye on this place since seeing other reviews on tiktok and finally got to go yesterday! We were welcomed in, the employees were very sweet and friendly. Ambiance is gorgeous and their displays looked so good! I was sad I couldn't get what I wanted but I did come an hour before close so I knew selling out was a possibility. I got the lemon cheesecake dessert instead while my husband got the salted caramel croissant. We both loved our desserts! Complex flavors, delicious, light and airy. Will definitely be coming back again to try the mango and pistachio desserts! read more

ANOTHER ONE! A vanilla match and a au chocolat croissant. DELICIOUS! Custom matcha, cold with vanilla syrup, almond milk. I'm in love! The crunch of the croissant butter shell, the fluffy, light, and most inside. The service, PERFECT, PATIENT, and HELPFUL. The interior touches are nice, a little Parisian, upscale bakery ambiance. I just love this place! read more

I love a good coffee shop...especially one that feels warm and inviting with great decor and ambiance. This place definitely checks those boxes. It's super cute, and the coffee was absolutely delicious. That said, it's hard for me to give five stars because the customer service just didn't match the experience. There were two ladies working the morning of July 5, and neither one ever cracked a smile. We asked a few questions and even complimented the coffee, but it felt like we were bothering them. Maybe they were just having an off day...I totally get that happens. I probably would have tried some of the desserts too, but after feeling like my questions were an inconvenience, I decided against it. If you're looking for great coffee, I'd still recommend stopping by. I just hope the customer service matches the quality of the coffee on my next visit. read more

Butter chicken croissant was very flavorful but filling was sparse. Service was awesome, small space with no restroom, parking is tricky if there is an event which it seems like there always is. I might try again if I am in the area on foot but would not go out of my way and wrestle with parking. Some folks don't mind parking issues but that's just a me thing, I like easy peasy driving/parking. read more

If you are looking for a delicious pastry, you need to come to this little gem, in downtown Phoenix. They recently opened so thought we would check it out, and so glad we did. We were greeted by Hope, who patiently answered all our questions about the amazing selection of baked goods, sandwiches and coffees available. Hope was very pleasant and offered great advice. The pastries we brought were so tasty and not excessively sweet. The next day we had the leftovers, which were still fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back to try some more goodies. read more
