We ordered a bunch of things at Houlden’s this morning, We’ve only tried a few things, but everything so far is delicious. We tried a chocolate hazelnut croissant and a chocolate cronut. We still have a number of other items to try out. They have a selection of savory items but we didn’t get any of those thinking we’d be going to lunch somewhere. That was a mistake! I definitely recommend this bakery as a stop while in Tucson!

These are hands down the best pastries I’ve ever had. And they are vegan!! You cannot miss this place if you’re in Tucson. The pastries are perfectly flakey, fresh, and they have a ton of unique options to choose from.

Hannah is an actual genius. There's never been a bad item out of this kitchen and she's inventing pastries I've only eaten in my dreams.

I am so grateful that such a wonderful and delicious VEGAN bakery exists like this! I only wish they were closer to where we live in Scottsdale. But they are not too far away that we can't escape to Tucson to snag such delectable treats! I'm talking about beautiful looking and tasting vegan croissants and otherworldly amazing treats to feast on. The owners are so kind and I love the hardcore/ death metal type music they play in the store. There are So many vegan treats to choose from, but they do sell out fast and there is a line out the door, and their hours of operation are limited so you better act fast!

Thank you for creating delicious gluten free handmade strawberry pop-tarts and all the wonderful gluten free pastries. The plum streusel bars were melt in your mouth delicious!
This small little bakeshop specializing in crossaints and other vegan desserts was something I wasn't expecting in Tuscon. Especially right next to Midtown Deli, it's an great way to end your lunch with a sweet treat! I enjoyed the "cinnamon roll" style crossaint and the strawberry + PB Frosting Cronut. I'm a huge fan of cinnamon rolls and theirs definitely satisfies that craving despite being a crossaint. The Cronut was also amazing as I've never had a cronus, let alone vegan. They also offer a wide variety of other desserts like Pies, cookies, and cupcakes which all looked delicious as well!

Absolutely everything we've tried here has been wonderful and beyond delicious... My so has an extreme dairy allergy and the staff went above and beyond to assure us he was safe. We're so excited to have found this wonderful bakery ❤️
