37 Best Bakeries in Birmingham

“I’ve only experienced Last Call Bakery through June Coffee next door, but every time we do—it’s a win. They always have updated, seasonal pastries that are so good. My whole family still talks about them from all the way in Mississippi. Definitely worth a stop. You won’t regret it.“

“The cakes are delicious and great quality!“

“I stopped by Hello Bakery and was blown away by their delicious croissants—but what really stood out was the owner's kindness! I bought four pastries, and to my surprise, they gifted me a free almond croissant! 😍

Croissant Quality:
The croissants here are perfectly flaky, buttery, and freshly baked. The plain croissant had a crisp exterior with soft, airy layers inside, while the almond croissant (my free treat!) was rich, slightly sweet, and packed with crunchy almond goodness. Absolutely delicious!

Customer Service:
The owner was warm and welcoming, and the free croissant was such a lovely gesture. It’s rare to find a bakery that cares so much about making customers happy!

Final Thoughts:
If you want top-tier croissants and a bakery that goes above and beyond, Hello Bakery is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back—maybe they’ll surprise me again! 😉 Highly recommend! 🥐💛“

“If you’ve never tried K & J's Elegant Pastries …. You have to!!!!! I’m a small business bakery owner myself (from home) and this was literally the BEST cupcake I have ever had in my life. Yep, it beat mine! If you’re in the Bham area and want a sweet treat…. This place does not disappoint!!“

“I love the red velvet baby bites! I drove an hour just to get them!“

“Bought an assortment of cupcakes for the office. Everyone loved them! Will be back!“

“I ordered a vegan Strawberry cake for a coworkers Going Away party. The cake was delicious. The majority of the office are not vegan and and there were many comments on how good the cake was and how we could not tell it was vegan. I personally love a strawberry cake from another well known chain bakery but I have to say, I liked this cake much better.“

“The prettiest tastiest cake I have ever had. Its was freshly baked and delicious. It was so pretty, I didn’t want to cut it.“

“Celebrated with a group in Chez Lulu. The atmosphere was great and the food quality and assortment was nothing short of amazing! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. My favs were the Greek pizza and chocolate Potacreme.“

“After my first experience with Cookie Fix, I have to say that I am officially obsessed. I fear I will dream about these cookies. I only had a chocolate chip cookie, and let me tell you I know for a fact that I will be driving the drive to this place the SECOND a craving hits. If I could adopt that cookie, I would. Absolutely give Cookie Fix a try if you catch a vibe for a sweet treat.“

“We used magic muffins for our wedding- Bride and Grooms cake, and absolutely loved them!!! Very affordable in the wedding cake business and soooo yummy!!! We did a few cake tastings in the area and this one was most affordable and best tasting!!! I got traditional white, and then my husband is a big lord of the rings fan and they were open to making this hobbit hole cake based off a Pinterest inspo pic and they did awesome we loved it!!! They delivered them both as well!“

“CharlieSteel is absolutely incredible!
He went above and beyond to make my brother’s 20th birthday truly unforgettable. From start to finish, Charlie walked me through every detail with such care and accuracy. He was thorough, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. His support and insight played a huge role in making the celebration a success. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help bring it all together. Thank you, Charlie — you’re amazing!“

“Nice bakery with plenty of classic options to choose from. I ordered a custom German Chocolate Cake for the holidays by phone. It was ready on time. The cake was moist and delicious. The only issue was pick up. My little cousin picked it up for me and the clerk behind the counter had a poor attitude for not reason. My cousin was only trying to order a cookie before leaving and paying for the cookie. Rude staff at this location.“

“The croissants are wonderful, the Earl Grey tart was to die for, the apricot shortbread were delicious and the macarons were great. I can’t say enough great things about my first visit yesterday. It will not be our last.“

“I go here and buy the day old bread for my cat fish pond .. My visit this time was not asenjoyable as it has been in previous visits. It seems they may be under new management or something and the prices are definitely going up.But it still a great deal.“

“A newly opened shop with an exceptionally friendly owner Gina. She went above and beyond to make sure I had arrest eating experience. And I did. I had a chicken chipotle panini and a peanut butter, banana, and honey shake. Both very much delicious. Thanks Snowies! And good luck!“

“I ordered a cookie cake with custom decorations! Wow! They did a great job nailing exactly what I wanted for my daughter’s birthday! Their cookie cakes are thick, soft and full of flavor! Their icing doesn’t taste like chemicals, like other cookie cake companies! Highly recommend Edgar’s for your next event cookie cake!“

“I am new to the area and saw this place today. They had slices of pound cake and mini pies. They might have had other items too but I only noticed these, they captured my attention right away. I purchased a mini sweet potato pie, key lime, and a pecan. I also purchased a slice of lemon pound cake. My 12 year old announced she didn’t like pound cake or pie… A couple of hours later I tried the sweet potato pie. The 12 year old asked for a taste and begged to have the rest. Tonight we equally ate the lemon pound cake. Both superb. We haven’t tried the other 2 minis yet, but have no doubt they will be equally delicious. This place had the most delicious sweet potato pie and even better than my own (really good) lemon pound cake. Prices are reasonable and they have fantastic employees.“

“Going to stop here anytime I'm in Birmingham.“

“This is an awesome Latin-owned coffee shop, right here in bham. Everyone who works here is always welcoming. And, perhaps most importantly, the coffee is excellent. The shots are consistent and the beans are great. Oscar who manages the store knows his stuff. I always end up getting the horchata latte because it was too good to pass up after I tried it once, but perhaps one day I will branch out. Glad to see the stickers keep growing on the tables :)“

“My first impressions were this is a very nice environment. Bright, open, airy and organized. I was excited to try the confetti cake bcuz I'd seen it at the Vestavia Hills location, but they were sold out of them. I'm not a regular customer so I wasn't sure if this cake was their first roll-out of large, shareable desserts. Anyway the cake was presented to me before it was boxed up and I was satisfied with its appearance. I finally tried some later on at home and was surprised that it tasted like a fine dusting of cornstarch was present on it. I mean, that's the first thing that came to mind. The cake had a large crumb like a box cake would. Overall, I was somewhat disappointed but I chalked it up to it being cold, as they keep certain desserts refrigerated. The baker did tell me the cake was brushed with condensed milk, which isn't a bad thing. It adds another layer of flavor and moisture. Well, at this point, I put the cake in the cabinet overnight. The next day, it tasted way better! I gave half of it away, and finished my piece. I can't wait until the strawberry shortcake rotates back around.“

“Marta's is an AMAZING bakery mainly because they will work with their customers. Food is subjective, but good service and great people always bring a smile. In this case, in my opinion, the casseroles are wonderful and the crew is even better!“

“Love the bread here! Just revisited after a long absence and I ask myself how could I have forgotten? The sourdough is great and the pastries are fantastic. Cool location, great place to meet for coffee too.“

“Great cookies. Perfect combination of softness and crunch

Vegetarian options: They have options for vegitarians

Parking: There's plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: Great kid friendly flavors“

“If you're ever in the area and you love bread this is the place to go for Discount and I'm saying steep discounted bread mostly expired almost expired but I throw mine in the freezer pull it out when I need it also has snacks and drinks at great prices“

“The sausage rolls are great! Thank goodness for you guys rescuing them, and making them even better! We recently tried the Nutella ones: so.stinkin.good!! Hope there will be more locations to offer them!!“

“Lovely bakery with a variety of different treats. I got the orange coconut roll and a batch of heat and serve cinnamon rolls. The orange roll had more of a buttery taste than orange and the cinnamon rolls could have used more cinnamon mixture between layers but they were still wonderful! There are no gluten-free options aside from macarons“

“I just want to shine light on this business you are doing an awesome job. Keep up the good work you are extremely blessed. Excellent service wonderful work respectful reasonable. I’ll give this business 10 stars if I can. May god continue to grant you much success.“

“I got a Triple Chocolat Cake for my Son's Birthday with writing on it and boy was it Delicious! Cake was fluffy and icing was on point! Quality definitely there! All I can say is thank you! Money well spent and will be looking forward to spending more! :)“

“Muy buen servicio y muy contenta con el pastel 😊👌“

“Found this place by accident, but I'm happy I did! Nature's own is my favorite whole wheat bread (the 100% whole wheat is vegan and delicious), and in here it's only $1.59! They had some loaves of Dave's Killer Bread as well, but it was stale. I bought one for $3.50, and will probably freeze it and use it for toast. If you eat packaged snack cakes, they had a bunch for less than $1.“

“Arrived appx 8:45a on a Sunday, no wait for a table and service was prompt. Coffee and breakfast came out quickly and was delicious! I had biscuits with chorizo gravy, roasted red peppers (not spicy) and fried eggs. Great job, Frothy Monkey!“

“Food was fantastic!! We got sweets from the bakery. Delicious!!! Everyone there was really nice. First visit but it won't be our last!!“

“I wish I knew the name of the employee that assisted me. She was extremely helpful and even saved me money on my purchase. My kind of CSR! Cinnabons were freshly made and extremely decadent. Go easy on these and always grab extra icing! 😉“

“The best place to study in Birmingham“

“This is such a cool eclectic cafe and the food is out of this world good! My husband and I love coming here! We have been twice and love it so much! Highly recommend!!!“
