Our HUGE guide to dessert in Tucson, from pastries to date-night spots
Whenever we ask our Instagram followers what they want to know — about us, about Tucson, about anything — we often get the question: Where can I find the best dessert in Tucson?
We're blessed to live in a city filled with dozens of places to get a raspado, an east-side pie shop that Tucsonans have fallen in love with, date-night spots showcasing desserts that Australian pâtissier Adriano Zumbo would approve of, and home bakers popping up at local markets with their vintage-decorated cakes and tasty pan dulce.
Gloria complied a huge list with all the yummy goodies you can get when you're having a craving for something sweet.
As someone with a sweet tooth, I have been to lots of these places and can vouch for many of them. You can always count on Ceres and Noodies to have the most creative and tasiest gelato in the city.
Licks Catalina is another ice cream spot that is worth the 30-minute drive. Cinnamon Toast Crunch, strawberry cheesecake and cannoli are all ice cream flavors you can get. Plus, their massive sundaes are great for Instagram!
Sydney's Sweet Shoppe is an east-side gem that makes the prettiest pies ever. I've had her banana cream pie and was amazed at how good it was.
Now I may be a little biased, but of course I always love Bake Box, Chez Peachy, Ducky's and Carbs & Coffee. All of them make such tasty treats, especially Bake Box's Lotus cookie.
Lastly, I have to give a shoutout to Novia's Bakery's oatmeal creme pie. The cookie is so chewy and the creme inside is the perfect amount of sweetness. I could eat at least four of them in one sitting.
