38 Best Bakeries in Birmingham

“Heard lots of great things about last call and they’re all true! Arrived at around 9:00 on a Thursday and waited in line for a short while (5-10 minutes max) and man, it was worth it! Super cute but quaint interior lobby area, all of the options are laid out in front of you. We ordered: Chocolate croissant and a Morning bun. The croissant was flaky and the chocolate was rich. The morning bun was phenomenal, a plump and flaky pastry with cinnamon sugar coating the top. We’re excited to return!“

“One of the spots we look forward to the most when coming to town for wrestling. Amazing cupcakes, cookies and lemonade. Cannot wait for y'all to start shipping!“

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

“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! 🥐💛“

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

“This is the second year we've ordered a vegan birthday cake from VK to celebrate a family birthday, and this is the second year the cake was absolutely phenomenal. Def recommend.“

“Bandit Patisserie is spotless, modern, and so welcoming. The pastries are absolutely incredible, we loved the savory Danish and homemade pop tarts. One of the staff, Ann Martin, went above and beyond, even surprising my brother with a free iced coffee later on just because she remembered his earlier request/conversation. A true small business gem where kindness and quality shine equally bright!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Edgar's Bakery is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The amazing people that work at this location make you feel like you're at home when you walk in the restaurant. They are known for their cakes being amazing but their food is absolutely delicious! Treat yourself to some amazing food and a delicious cupcake or some other sweet treat!“

“I was frazzled this week and forgot to order a birthday cake in time for my husband’s birthday. Nate at this Edgar’s location went above and beyond to help me get a cake in time. It seems like a small thing but it was so kind and meant a lot to me. Of course, the food at Edgar’s is always great, but I experienced customer service that went the extra mile, and that’ll be the reason I choose Edgar’s the next time I need a special order. Thank you!!!“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Ok I messed up .
Called
Customer service (didnt get a name)
And they immediately went into problem solving mode. They went out of their way to fix my mistake.
Saved my behind and Probably prevented a murder (had I not come home with those cakes)

Nathan at the Homewood store was nice and ,personable.

Thank you Edgar’s“

“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 called up Delights from Delores Bakery and the owner Nina answered. She was great at communicating to me. When she sent me a picture of the cookies, she exacuted exactly what I wanted. She did a beautiful job, and I tried one....it tasted delicious. I definitely will order something from her again. Thanks Nina!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! 😉“

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

“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!“

“I just love Great American Cookies!!!! 🍪
I went yesterday and the guy’s name I think was, Erin who helped me and he was amazing!!!! Although he looked very busy he still gave the best customer service I got through the whole mall!! The cookies were fresh and I will be going again!!!!!!!😀“
