39 Best Bakeries in Birmingham

“It is without a doubt, a great French bakery in Birmingham. The cream fillings, cherry filling / compote, the rich dark bold flavors of chocolate. You can taste the quality of ingredients and the skill that went into each dessert.

The flakiness of the crossaints, the crunch in every bite and to top it off,the burst of creme. With all the fillings, creams or fruit, you can still taste the butter.

There was a very long line as there should be. This location delivers as it promises! 🙌“

“I just have to take a moment to brag on K&J’s Elegant Pastries because they made my baby girl’s 4th birthday so incredibly special. When I say this cake brought tears to my eyes, I mean it. The soft pink Paw Patrol theme, sweet little Skye on top, the custom “4,” the beautiful bow, the tiny details — it was everything my daughter dreamed of and more. Seeing her face light up when she saw it is a moment I’ll never forget. 🩷 It wasn’t just a cake… it was the centerpiece of her day. It made her feel celebrated, loved, and so big turning FOUR. 🥹 Not only was it stunning, but it tasted just as amazing as it looked. The cake was moist, flavorful, and a huge hit with both kids and adults. We received so many compliments and everyone kept asking where we ordered it from. Thank you, K&J’s Elegant Pastries, for putting so much care and talent into making her day unforgettable. You didn’t just make a cake — you helped create a core memory for our family. Forever grateful 💕✨ #PawPatrolParty #4thBirthday #GratefulMama #SupportSmallBusiness“

“The cakes are delicious and great quality!“

“Great tiny local bakery with some absolutely killer pastries when you're craving a little something sweet. We've had the croissants, pecan sticky buns, and fruit danishes - and all have been great. Every time we go we've tried something different and nothing is ever short of quality. Very small interior, basically just room for a few people to stand and the counter - but we don't really care about sitting inside, just be aware if that's your plan - there's no seating. Ladies behind the counter are always patient and kind.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The caramel cake baby bites are a carbon copy of my Nana’s homemade caramel cake- which is quite the task to achieve. The caramel was not tacky to the touch but incredibly smooth, moist, and a wonderful piece of nostalgia in one small bite. They have amazing other flavors: strawberry, red velvet and cookies & cream being other top contenders.“

“I’ve always had a great experience at this location! The young ladies that work in the afternoon are always kind and welcoming and they always have a smile on their faces! The dessert options that I personally come for are always in stock and they are consistently delicious. I will drive out of my way to get my desserts from the Trussville location! You guys are killing it!“

“Stopped by this location for a quick snack during shopping . cookies were amazing , fresh and staff was friendly ..don’t have picture because I ate them too fast..
Crisp edges soft center . I purchased healthy peanut butter cookie , chocolate chip and the magic city cookie .. priced between 2.75 -3.50“

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Edgar’s Bakery at Financial Center today! Brooke was incredibly helpful in helping me send cakes and cupcakes to our clients. We needed a very quick turnaround, and while the typical wait is longer than I had hoped, Brooke went above and beyond to make sure our order was delivered the very same day so our customer could celebrate.

Her service, responsiveness, and willingness to help was exceptional. I’m extremely impressed with the service I received and will definitely be using Edgar’s again for future client gifts. Thank you, Brooke, for going above and beyond!“

“Just had a wedding and we could not be happier. The wedding cake was stunning- absolute perfection. Moist, GOOD cake. We chose almond flavor, it was heavenly. Groom had a stacked cookie cake and it was a huge hit! Very, very good. Communication was good, service was top notch, and I would highly recommend for your wedding needs.“

“Absolutely incredible tasting cookies. The atmosphere was very inviting and the staff was friendly and welcoming ! My Daughter and I went in expecting to each get a cookie and we left with a whole box! We will be back frequently because these cookies were delicious! 💙🧡“

“I took my granddaughter into Crumbl for the free thin cookie offered, along with putting in a 6 CT order. I had to ask how to get the free thin cookie. The employee wasn't very nice & said it had to be on the app. I spent several minutes & couldn't find out how. She also tried on my phone, then got the manager who was training someone @ the time. It wasn't on the app, but their screen. The 2 had words between themselves in front of us. I just didn't feel very welcome & spent about $25 on 6 cookies, which is kinda ridiculous.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious coffee and the concha was 😋 love the vibe & definitely will be my go to coffee place next time I'm in B'ham!“

“Crazy wings really saved the day! I was headed in from out of town on a tight schedule. They offered suggestions and ensured the food would be ready when I arrived. Not only was it ready upon arrival as requested, but it was also DELICIOUS! Everyone enjoyed the flavors! They were also gracious with the dipping sauces and even offered me a drink for my travel. 10/10...Love, Brown!❤“

“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.“

“After coming to this one, I prefer the one in Madison. The staff is so much friendlier in Madison. No one welcomed me in at this one. I stood there for 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged me and asked to help. No, thank you or have a nice day after my purchase. It just wasn't inviting.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“My favorite local restaurant- delicious food, atmosphere and staff exceptional, and also fun to shop for unique gifts.“

“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“

“My birthday cake was absolutely amazing! From the presentation, the taste, and the small intricate details. Throughout the duration of me purchasing the cake and receiving it, communication was stellar! The owner was very polite and respectful and made sure to accommodate my request. She definitely takes pride in her craft and the community should continue to avidly support her. I don’t think anyone else could’ve executed this, as well as she did. Her kindness and joy is very infectious and made me even more excited to reveal my cake after receiving it. I will definitely be a returning customer, my experience was great! Thank you much!!!!!! 🩷“

“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!!!“

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

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

“Why pay high prices for bread, buns, English muffins, raisin bread, snacks and more. We've saved money by using this Outlet in Trussville. The products are just as good and the prices are much less. If you think that a bakery outlet isn't for you, ya might want to rethink. The employees are helpful and pleasant.“

“If you haven’t tried her cakes yet, you are seriously missing out! Every bite is pure heaven—rich, moist, and absolutely divine. She creates specialty cakes for ANY and EVERY occasion—birthdays, weddings, celebrations, or just because you deserve something sweet. No matter the moment, she’s got you covered! And the best part? Her spirit is just as sweet as her creations. She pours love into every single cake, and you can truly taste the difference. Stop by at the Galleria Mall and treat yourself… you won’t regret it!“

“cinnamon rolls are fabulous, and huge.“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

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

“Ordered a Sugarfree cheesecake and a layer cake and was absolutely blown away. The cheesecake one of the creamiest, best tasting cheesecakes I have ever tasted, and it happens to be Sugarfree. The layer cake is gorgeous and is moist and delicious! Pinup Pastries is amazing. I can’t wait to order more! (After my family finishes this order…) ☺️“

“While I was still in the area, out for a morning walk I tried this place for breakfast. Nothing big or fancy just eggs bacon toast, with fruit. Everything was tasty, they had plenty of great bakery items to choose from, also they had free samples on the counter for u to try.
Had a nice atmosphere as well.“
