La Purisima Bakery 2

13 Phoenix Bakeries Worth Checking Out

"Since 1983, La Purisima have been stocking their shelves with brightly colored conchas, empanadas, tortillas, and more. A family-owned Mexican bakery with two locations, there is a wide selection of items including pastries, breads, tamales, burritos, cookies, cakes, plus seasonal items (such as pan de muerto for Dia de los Muertos). The ojos, airy sponge cakes wrapped in puffed pastry, are worth a try, as are conchas (soft sweet bread shaped like a seashell), marranitos (a pig-shaped molasses cookie with a cakey texture), and galletas (sugar cookies)." - Asonta Benetti, Bahar Anooshahr
