Who'da thunk you could find flawless French pastries on a Safford side street? Oregon-native Ruth Dannenbrink runs a bakery out of her home at The Olney House, which doubles as a bed and breakfast. The gorgeously crispy spinach feta croissant is must, as well as the blueberry danish. But to try it you've gotta get there early. At 7 a.m., there's already a line. 1104 S. Central, Safford. 928-428-5118. cottagebedandbreakfast.com
Cottage Bakery
My nephew Jaxon takes down some serious sweets at Cottage Bakery, clockwise from top: pecan roll, fruit tart, chocolate croissant, lemon bar, blueberry cheese danish, another chocolate croissant and a spinach feta croissant in the middle.
This town has everything from kitschy conquistador diners to Mexican sushi trucks.
