About Don Guerra's Barrio Bagel & Slice

The Barrio Mission: Community Supported - Customer Centered Don Guerra is the James Beard Award winning baker and founder of Barrio Bread. First an anthropologist then an educator, then a baker; Don started his community supported bakery in his garage in Tucson in 2009, and sold his naturally fermented artisan loaves from the back of his car at a local elementary school and farmer’s market, and via word of mouth. As the popularity of his breads outgrew his home bakery, he opened his first store. By sharing his community supported approach, Don demonstrates a model that other bakers can carry forward. To Don; Barrio Bread & Barrio Bagel & Slice are not just businesses, they are the bakery and fast casual restaurant of the future. Barrio Bagel & Slice is the next step in the evolution of Don’s mission. We want our wholesome, high quality, healthy foods to be accessible to our entire community. In 2022, Don Guerra won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Baker. At the announcement Don said the award and recognition “solidifies that I am on the right path. The award encourages my commitment to the community and acknowledges my passion for producing superior baked goods that tell the story of the Southwest.”
