40 Best Bakeries in Birmingham

“Wow! This place is Birmingham’s staple. You have to try it. You can observe the art of baking live while waiting for your turn to order. Super delicious!

Wish there was a place like this in Ashburn or Aldie in Virginia!“

“The cakes are delicious and great quality!“

“As soon as we walked through the door they were so friendly like they knew you! The Croissants are flaky and light and so delicious! The cheese danish omg 😱 so scrumptious as well as the Cinnamon Rolls! The Blueberry Muffin is bursting with flavor and so moist and so full of amazing blueberries! The Peanut Butter Cookies are so dang good! EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!! I always find a bakery whenever I travel out of town! This Bakery is Top Notch! If you haven’t already tried this little gem you better make your way there! I devoured the 2 Croissants before I made it to the golf course and I am now on my second Danish ! Yikes! 😳 I must say this is a place I will stop at again when I travel through playing the Robert Trent Jones courses!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“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!!!!!! 🩷“

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

“cinnamon rolls are fabulous, and huge.“

“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.“

“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!❤“

“Loved everything about my cake design, very professional. Highly recommend ❤💓❤“

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

“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…) ☺️“

“Is it custom to install transparecy in understanding what is customley going to be installed? Bewildered in the least since of informative information. Elaboration in minute tid bits would be an awesome brain teaser with a good wholesome bowl of oatmeal to wash it down.“

“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!“

“Came with my daughter for lunch. I had the crabapple jack sandwich and she had the chicken avocado wrap. Everything was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was good for us to eat have conversation. I bought a loaf of bread and an orange roll. Yummm!“

“The best place to study in Birmingham“
