La Estrella Bakery has set an official Grand Opening for its brand-new downtown location at 141 S. Stone Ave. #100 — this is on the ground level of the building that also houses Home2Suites by Hilton and the Hampton Inn.
From 9 a.m. – noon on Sunday, May 5, La Estrella Bakery will open its doors to the public. We first learned about the new location in March of this year, which is just across the street from the stunning Saint Augustine Cathedral on Stone Avenue.
With news like this, Cinco De Mayo just got sweeter!
“Come join us and say hi as we expand into downtown Tucson,” La Estrella Bakery shared on Instagram.
The bakery has three other spots in Tucson.
There’s one at Mercado San Agustin at 100 S. Avenida Del Convento, another in Barrio Hollywood at 901 N. Grande Ave., and then the original location on the southside at 5266 S. 12th Ave, which first opened its doors and fired up the ovens in 1986.
La Estrella Bakery’s new location will be at 141 S. Stone Ave. #100. For more information, visit laestrellabakeryincaz.com. Check out our visual guide to La Estrella Bakery’s sweet treats.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
