Birmingham Breadworks is a delightful bakery and café that has quickly become a favorite spot in the city. The bread is exceptional, with perfectly crusty sourdough, soft, flavorful baguettes, and hearty loaves that clearly reflect the care and craftsmanship behind each batch. Their pastries are equally impressive — flaky croissants, cinnamon rolls, and danishes that strike the perfect balance of sweetness and texture.

Tried this place for the first time. Ham and cheese croissant was HUGE. It was also super flaky and fluffy. Delicious. The chain latte was good as well. Can't wait to go back and try other things.

Really enjoyed the pastries and coffee. The employees were also very friendly. Only downside was I ordered a decaf and 45 minutes later I was having a panic attack and shaking because I can't have caffeine and the drink they served me was definitely not decaffeinated.

This is a just about every Saturday morning stop for me, since 2016. Went in this morning and saw the goods turned around and left. The quality of the baked goods has been so variable. This morning was not good. Hopefully next Saturday is better.

Delicious sourdough, pastries, and pizza at a convenient location.
Where do I start?! Honestly I didn’t have high expectations when I arrived here. It seemed more like a neighborhood spot that people frequented not particularly because it was good but because it was spacious, available, and easy to get to.
Well I was wrong. While insider is spacious and cozy they are absolutely worth the visit for both locals and outsiders.
I arrived early in the morning and the case was fully stocked and the cashier was very friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions, even obvious ones, and never seemed disgruntled or bothered.
I ordered two cookies, the bacon egg and cheese sour dough breakfast “focaccia “ , and a coffee.
Coffee was just what I needed to start my morning. Fresh, hot, and soothing. Then the pastries. I got the oatmeal raisin cookie and the pumpkin cheesecake. Both were out of this world. Soft, chewy inside, slight crunch to the edge, and full of flavor. Probably 2 of the best cookies I’ve had.
The bacon egg and cheese sour dough was warm which was nice, well seasoned, perfect bready chew while being airy. It was an all around winner for me. I actually went back later that day for seconds but only got a cookie as they were low on offerings right before closing.
Again this place is well worth a visit. Nothing in the case is the wrong choice and while this isn’t some modern, sleek, 2025 looking bakery they invest the time and effort in to making every single offering tasty and worth your money. I can’t wait to go back to Birmingham if only for this bakery.

BBW used to be one of our favorites. What has happened? The once loved fresh, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside baguette now tastes like it has been sitting for a few days. The almond frangipane was a little better. Their most recent JCDH food score is 91. I hope they can turn this around soon.

The tomato soup and sour dough bread are fantastic. I like to pair it with avocado toast. Yummy Afterwards I always buy a couple of breads. Each bread is really delicious. We’ve tried them all.
