Le Cave's - Tucson, AZ

Le Cave’s is a bakery that has been around forever (actually, since 1935); and it is known for two things: decorated cakes and donuts. We recommend the chocolate-frosted, maple-frosted, powdered-sugar, and cinnamon-sugar varieties.

"Le Cave's Vegan-friendly donuts are made without animal fat or dairy products. Virtue never tasted so good."

"Le Cave's deco-lettered sign is a genuine legacy of the early 20th century. It remains a ship-shape bakery, inside and out."

"Clockwise, from the top: cinnamon, powdered sugar, maple, chocolate"

"Racks of glazed donuts early in the morning. One of these is scarcely satisfying; it only stimulates the appetite for more, more, more."

"At about 8am, these apple fritters were still almost too hot to hold. Dotted with plenty of syrupy fruit and yet lightweight in its sheath of sugar, one of these babies only stimulated appetite for more."
