Fresh Baked Delights - Lutz's Swedish Bakery in Tucson
Lutz's Swiss Bakery is one of those places you might miss as you're driving by, but once you stop, you'll never forget where it is. Lutz's Swiss Bakery sits in a small strip of shops on the west side of Pima and Craycroft Roads in East Tucson; Easier to spot is the furniture store on the very corner.
It has an old fashioned feel to the place, and the day I stopped by for my cookie "fix", it was later in the afternoon. Mornings you can find several people in line, and holidays...well, plan to spend some time waiting!
Lutz's Swiss Bakery has been in business for 40 years here in Tucson, and if that doesn't show you the quality of their bakery products, the inviting aromas once you step within their door surely will!
I'm not a major "sweet" person, but I am a sucker for home-made tasting cookies. In fact, I make them at home myself fairly often -- but in that lies the danger of ...eating the whole batch. When I'm on the east side of Tucson, it's much better to stop in for one large cookie, or two small ones instead!
My in-laws are 80 years old, but they will make the 30-40 minute drive from their home in order to purchase one of their 6-inch cheesecakes. They melt in your mouth right off your fork and are good absolutely plain...or with fruit!
And then there's the bread. If I could only eat one food item for the rest of my days, my choice would be quality bread and butter. Mmmmm. Recently my in-laws gave me a loaf of the Challah bread - boy does that make great grilled cheese sandwiches, and french toast! (Also fantastic bread pudding - more fattening than cookies!!)
Lutz's Swiss Bakery is award winning! You can place orders ahead for your favorite pies and desserts as well!
Here's my guilty temptation. They call them butter cookies - I call them Spritz. Fantastic with tea, but they go down just fine as I'm driving in my car as well.
