On Monday, February 17, the Le Cave’s Bakery team announced they are permanently closing the local doughnut and pastry shop at 3950 E. 22nd St.
“With a heavy heart, we announce Le Cave’s Bakery will be closing its doors this Sunday, February 23, or sooner depending on remaining supplies and staffing,” the owners shared on social media.
The bakery first opened in 1935 at 1219 S. Sixth Ave. but closed in 2017. Naomi and Chris Pershing then purchased the business in 2018, opening its new location — equipped with a drive-thru — at 22nd Street near Alvernon Way.
So, order something sweet from your vehicle or pop your head inside before Sunday, February 23. As mentioned, they’re unsure if they’ll remain open for that long, but that’s the current goal/plan.
We reached out for a comment about a closure, but couldn’t reach anyone at this time.
“Thank you for your support over the years. It’s been a pleasure serving you!”
Le Cave’s Bakery is located at 3950 E. 22nd St. For more information, follow Le Cave’s on Instagram.

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.
