Elysian Fields Artesian Bakery & Dainties is as magical as the name implies. Step inside to view the varied and colorful pastries, cookies, and sweets, each one as appealing and inviting as the next. Each item is artistically attractive, truly a feast for the eyes.
This bakery is a family business, with a tradition going back several generations of French and Danish bakers. It is fully run by family members, whether they are the professional bakers or counter personnel. It is also one of only two bakeries certified in Arizona for producing products from scratch.
Recipes are prepared with finest quality ingredients, some imported from Europe, in order to provide the customer with a truly heavenly treat. Each item is not only a work of art; it is indeed a flavorful experience.
Elysian Fields caters to every palate, as LaRee Elysia, owner, feels that, “desserts are really personal.” She mentioned that when requested, they will attempt to re-create a dessert for a customer when provided with key information in order for her to research the particular confection. This is especially appreciated by her customers; many of whom are ex-patriates.
LaRee is exceedingly proud that they use, “real food, made in-house with no shortcuts.” She stressed that there are no preservatives or pre-made mixes in any of their products. This is especially important when personalizing bakery products for those with dietary restrictions.
Elysian Fields has vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free products regularly available for purchase, but special orders aren’t a problem, as long as enough advance notice is given. Individual orders are prepared in a timely fashion, but LaRee indicated they are made at a maximum of 12 hours in advance for the “freshest taste.” Her advice is to, “Please let our desserts come to room temperature” before serving for the genuine flavors to be appreciated.
They have a prominently displayed menu, complete with QR code for custom orders, reservations for high tea, and Mother’s Day (don’t wait, they are filling up fast)!
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Elysian Fields has a number of flavorful teas that can be prepared hot or cold, as well as hot and iced coffee. After all, that is the perfect complement to an enticing treat!
There is no dining inside the establishment, but there are four tables outside, set back from the shopping area lot in a sheltered, shaded spot directly in front of the bakery. They are pleasantly appointed with comfortable chairs, linen tablecloths, and centerpieces.
