Just had lunch at the Village Bakehouse today and I wanted to make a report. My husband and I have been there in the past to pick up sweets when we're attending casual get togethers, and we've had lunch there a few times, so we're pretty familiar with the menu. The Village Bakehouse is located in Oro Valley, just South of Trader Joe's on Oracle Rd. It's tucked in the corner of a strip mall, and the business sign and front entrance are blocked by palm trees, so it can be really hard to find. Still it's all worth it when you finally get to enjoy any of their delectable treats. The Village Bakehouse is quaint with several small tables inside and a covered patio with more outdoor seating in the front. Not a lot a seating considering the locals in the area keep it pretty busy, but this place has a lot of character. When you walk inside you'll feel like you've entered into a little European bakery.The Village Bakehouse serves both breakfast and lunch, as well as fresh baked artisan bread, cookies, and all sorts of specialty treats. Though I've yet to have breakfast there, 
I have been lucky enough to try several of their wonderful sandwiches and various yummy cookies. My favorite sandwich is definitely the Village Bakehouse, which is a fresh baked crusty baguette topped with smoked turkey , Havarti cheese, tomato, lettuce, avocado and a little dab of mayonnaise. I like simple sandwiches with fresh ingredients, so this one is perfect. It's delicious but it's one of those sandwiches that's almost too big to get into your mouth, so be prepared! My husband loves the "Shirley's Turkey and Cran" sandwich, which consists of turkey, cucumber, cranberry relish, lettuce and a smathering of cream cheese on whole wheat bread. Just like Thanksgiving in a sandwich! We've also shared a Club sandwich, but this isn't your typical Club. Try smoked turkey, cheddar cheese, crisp bacon, tomato, lettuce, avocado and mayo on Asiago pepper bread. All I can say is Yummy! It's a good thing that diners have the option of ordering a half sandwich if they aren't able to eat whole one because Village Bakehouse sandwiches are very big. There's a large selection of sandwiches, homemade soups and salads on the menu, and there a few kid friendly items like PB&J or grilled cheese as well.

There's an endless variety of cookies, muffins, pies, cakes, and pastries, all homemade and all delicious. My favorites are the chocolate, chocolate cookies, Snicker Doodles, carrot cake bars and pecan caramel rolls. They even make specialty wedding cakes. The desserts at Village Bakehouse are not to be missed, so if you're full after your sandwich get a few cookies to go.
The Village Bakehouse has a loyal following so if you plan on going it might be wise to visit off peak hours. They're open from 7am to 6pm Monday through Saturday and 8am to 2pm on Sundays. If you are going for sweets or fresh baked bread it's better to get there early as they sell out of their best items pretty quickly. Bon appetit!
