How sweet it is: Cal’s Bakeshop brings new flavors to midtown

A beloved Tucson baker is turning a pandemic passion project into a full-fledged storefront this weekend with the grand opening of Cal’s Bakeshop.

The new bakery, located inside the former Rocco’s Pizza building at 2707 E. Broadway Blvd., opens its doors Saturday, October 11 at 9 a.m. The shop marks the next step for owner Cal Orellana, who first built a loyal following selling his inventive pastries online during the COVID-19 pandemic through his social media accounts.

“I’m not trying to be different,” Orellana said. “But I try not to follow a lot of trends and stuff like that. I just try to find cool stuff that I like.”
