The Best Bakeries in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Chaconne Patisserie has likely crossed diners’ paths even if the storefront hasn’t — many of the Valley’s best cafes and restaurants carry chef Mark Chacón’s signature desserts. Now with a South Scottsdale shop in the former La Belle Vie space, the James Beard–nominated pastry chef continues to turn out mirror-glazed, multilayered creations that showcase his fine-dining background (Chez Panisse, Tartine, Noma) and precise touch. The horchata tres leches hums with cinnamon and caramelized milk, while the stracciatella cheesecake somehow stays both airy and rich. Walk-up hours run Wednesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and top sellers don’t last." - McConnell Quinn
