The Best Bakeries in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Tucked inside Jerusalem International Market on Greenway Road, Mr. Sweets turns out some of the city’s best Middle Eastern pastries. Owner Michael Shatila ran bakeries in Michigan for decades before relocating to Phoenix, bringing with him a deep bench of classic Lebanese desserts. The counter is stacked with more than 30 varieties of baklava — pistachio-packed diamonds, delicate nests, syrupy rolled fingers — plus knafeh, Turkish delights, and creamy ice creams. Even the savory options shine, with meat and cheese pies that rival the sweets. Prices are low, portions are generous, and the regulars know to load up." - McConnell Quinn
