Gas stations are typically places we try to avoid going inside at all costs, but The Thumb is one glaring exception. One of Arizona’s best bakeries is hiding in this unassuming building, and everyone deserves to taste its scrumptious treats. Get ready to drool all over your keyboard after seeing the deliciousness:

Featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" on the Food Network, The Thumb is no ordinary gas station. Recognized statewide for its award-winning barbecue, most people don't know an amazing bakery also exists in the same building.
