31 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“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Omg! A PINK COOKIE STORE ! 🥺🥺💗💗
These cookies were delicious !
We ordered three total : the monster mash , breast cancer awareness and triple chocolate. All three were delicious but the monster mash was by far my favorite.“

“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 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 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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Walking around 5 points looking for a place to eat. Everywhere else was 20+ minute wait. I was in and outta here within 10 minutes w honey bbq wings & steak quesadilla combo for under $15. Young man upfront very polite and professional. Nowhere to sit inside, takeout only, Great quesadilla, good flavor & crisp to wings. The new late night goto spot!“

“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“

“Please, please please be patient with these people working here. They are working so hard and are probably being overworked and understaffed. Crumble is super popular right now and I will tell you what the addition of this Dubai chocolate brownie. I am a lifetime customer. It literally tastes exactly like a Dubai chocolate bar. And most other locations really Don’t give a lot of filling, which is the part that I like the post in this location did everything perfectly and the customer service was phenomenal. We are lucky to have a crumble out here in Trussville thanks to you guys and the amazing team that works here!“
