Who we are

A bakery with a deli attached, and no shortcuts

A&R Bakery & Deli started with a simple rule that still runs the kitchen: bake the bread yourself, buy meat worth putting on it, and open early enough to matter.

Our story

Fifteen years in Blythe, and a new start in Phoenix

How a bakery that started in Twentynine Palms ended up with two counters and the same recipes at both.

  1. Twentynine Palms

    Where our story began. Everything we know, we learned here.

  2. Blythe, California

    When that chapter closed, we opened again here — and have served the community for over fifteen years.

  3. Phoenix, Arizona

    Our newest door, opened recently with the same recipes and the same welcome.

A&R Bakery has been serving the Blythe community for over fifteen years. Our story began in Twentynine Palms, where we learned everything we know — and when that chapter closed, we opened again in Blythe with more experience and more passion.

Today we bake fresh daily using only the finest ingredients, and we're known for our homemade breads, quality meats, and sandwiches made with care. We recently opened a new location in Phoenix, Arizona, bringing the same recipes and the same welcome to a new community.

“At A&R, it's not just about the food — it's about the people we serve.”

How the day runs

Ovens first, counter second

The bread is baked before the doors open, so the sandwiches and breakfast plates on the menu are built on something that came out of our own kitchen, not a delivery crate.

  1. 01

    Turkey on cranberry spice bread

    The sandwich people drive over for — mayo, crisp vegetables and bacon on bread we bake in-house.

  2. 02

    Bread baked out of the back

    Squaw bread, jalapeño cheddar, cranberry spice and honey whole wheat, so every sandwich starts somewhere good.

  3. 03

    Breakfast before 11

    Eggs, bacon, French toast and breakfast potatoes served every day from open until 11:00 AM.
