17. Le Cave’s Bakery & Donuts — Tucson, AZ

Sitting within the Alvernon Heights neighborhood, this bakery has long been a go-to spot for sweets within Arizona’s second-largest city.

Welcome to Le Cave’s Bakery & Donuts, a baked goods paradise filled with every sweet you can think off. With Tucson only a couple of hours away from the U.S./Mexican border, and with a sizable Latino population, you can bet that this bakery also sells a variety of great Mexican baked goods.

While that could be for another slideshow, we’re focused on the chocolate cakes, and Le Cave’s has carved out a special niche for itself within Tucson’s chocolate cake realm. As the other bakeries on this list, Le Cave’s specializes in both vegan and non-vegan sweets, allowing eaters of all to enjoy their wonderful chocolate sweets. It isn’t unusual for folks to drive from all corners of Southern Arizona to grab a chocolate cake at Le Cave’s, and even for the non-cake crowd, their treats are worth the drive.

Take their donuts for example.

When reading the Yelp reviews of this place, many claims that Le Cave’s donuts, especially the chocolate glazed donuts, are on the same level of Krispy Kream. While that can be disputed, what can’t be denied is that Le Cave’s chocolate donuts are one of a kind.

Just like their chocolate cakes.
