"Karl Boerner, the name behind Karl’s Quality Bakery, opened his Phoenix store in 1994, after years spent in his native Germany, Switzerland, and California perfecting his craft. The bakery was designed to be a neighborhood place and it has been an essential part of the Sunnyslope area for 30 years. His daughter Christine now runs things, overseeing every ingredient that makes up their large selection. If you’re hosting guests, pick up one of their breakfast or pastry towers that will satisfy everyone in your group. You can’t go wrong with one of their custom cakes, either, like the hard to find Princess Torte." - Asonta Benetti, Bahar Anooshahr
