New Winter Flavors Have Arrived at Cafe Francais (PHOTOS)

Bringing over 30 years of culinary expertise and a shared passion for French culinary methods, Noelle and Daniel Martinez, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo, are making their mark on Wrightstown Road.

The locally-owned, from-scratch French bakery on Tucson’s east side, Cafe Francais, has been warming bellies with their made in-house croissant dough — pastries that take three days to laminate, shape, and eventually bake. The bakery is not just limited to croissants; they consistently whip up an array of pastries, cookies, and freshly baked bread.

There’s a bustling scene of culinary creativity happening at Cafe Francais and now there’s a new group of winter-themed pastries to order from Thursday, November 30 – Sunday, December 24.

Keep scrolling to see the new additions and it’s likely your stomach will start grumblin’ for you to pay a visit as soon as possible.
