text: This is a small corner of gastronomic heaven in Arizona Having spent a part of my life in Germany I became addicted to the breads there and while our climate is not even close to that of Germany Old Heidelberg Bakery does an admirable job of turning out authentic breads and pastries I do not know what it is about a simple roll that can be so wonderful but they get it right with a crusty outside and an almost creamy inside The rye breads and strufcdel are also outstanding They also believe in the bakers dozen concept here GO early because they sell out especially on Saturdays nnIn addition to baked goods Old Heidelberg has a small German goods store selling everything from sausages to chocolates jars of vegetables and other goodies from Germany and even bath items While it is not like walking around the market areas of Munich this is a great place to get some good breads and other vital supplies of civilization Prices are very reasonable and service is very good but there is often a small crowd so there is often a short wait to be served
