36 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! 🙌“

“The cakes are delicious and great quality!“

“Best pastry shop in Alabama! I dropped by this morning to get a ham & cheese croissant and an apple danish. I devoured them both. One bite of the croissant and dozens of crisp flaky shards fell into my lap. It was perfect. The apple danish was like an elevated apple pie. I’m not sure what type of cream was under the apples, but I loved it. Hello Bakery is a must visit if you’re in Birmingham. Also, the shop owner (I’m assuming) was very kind. I will definitely be back whenever I’m in town.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Edgar's has always had some of the best pastries in town. The customer service and atmosphere is amazing. The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and the food is always on point. The menu varies from breakfast to lunch to desserts to celebrations. Everything you want or need is in one place.“

“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.“

“Crumbl Cookies in Birmingham offers a fun and indulgent cookie experience that has quickly gained a devoted following. Known for its rotating weekly menu of freshly baked cookies, the shop keeps things exciting with classic flavors like Chocolate Chip, Sugar, and Peanut Butter, alongside creative seasonal specials. Each cookie is soft, chewy, and generously sized, often served warm for maximum enjoyment.

The variety is one of Crumbl’s biggest draws, catering to both traditional tastes and adventurous flavor seekers. Options like Churro, Snickerdoodle, and specialty cheesecake-inspired cookies provide a sweet treat that’s both comforting and Instagram-worthy.“

“I am so appreciative of the beautiful lemon raspberry charm cake designed by the bakery team. It was such a beautiful addition to my niece’s bridal shower and I am grateful for the extra effort they put into it including carrying it out to my car. It was truly the best cake I have ever tasted and I highly recommend!“

“I'm a big fan of wings, so I had to check out Crazy Wings after reading all the great reviews. Very good. Food is always hot and fresh, and the wings have a lot of sauce! Hot honey is my favorite flavor so far. Will be a consistent customer of this place.“

“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!!!“

“We stop in here every time we are in town. Such a fun spot. Plenty of options for breakfast, brunch, and lunch for the whole family. The coffee is good and the desserts are amazing! We recommend the cinnamon rolls and cupcakes in particular. It’s very quiet and calm inside and so many options behind the case for the kids to have fun selecting their treats. Plenty of seating and parking. Friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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 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!!!!!! 🩷“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“****update****they replaced an orange roll for me and I got another cinnamon roll and decided to try their blueberry muffin which was complimentary thanks to the manager and I just wanted to say that whatever problems they were having with their new staff have officially been resolved!! Everything was fantastic and super soft and exactly the way Edgar's is supposed to be. The manager was very kind and immediately greeted me with a smile and helped me!!! can't wait to go back ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“
