Karl's is excellent for pastries and breads, and their offerings are priced reasonably well. Every time someone has a birthday in my family, I make sure to drop off a box of baked goods from Karl's. They've got a great selection of pastries, donuts, tarts, cupcakes, cookies and cakes. I especially appreciate the fact that despite being indecisive due to the large selection of sweets, the folks behind the counter are always friendly and accommodating.
Support this local bakery. We have so many chain restaurants and shops here in Phoenix, it's nice to see a good, quality bakery like Karl's thriving.
