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.

I love this place so so much. It has the coolest atmosphere. It has a European type vibe and it's extremely cozy. They have coffee and the BEST baked goods. We got coffee, a lemon bar, and a strawberry cheesecake croissant. It was very good. I will say, my pastry wasn't warmed, but I didn't ask and I was still very good.

Queenie was amazing, just like one I had in Montreal. Cardamom bun was a unique blend of sweet and spicy, very sophisticated.

I wanted to try this place out because I saw they had some vegan options. Emailed them about dietary restrictions but never replied so I had to call and ask. There were only four sweets available that were vegan and I was told that the sourdough bread was vegan so only five vegan options.
Health score was a 90 as of October, 26, 2024.
No clear menu to know all items and does not say what the dietary restrictions are on the items.
The poppy seed lemon muffin and chocolate muffin was delicious.
Dietary restrictions: There were only four sweets available that were vegan and I was told that the sourdough bread was vegan so only five vegan options.
Parking: Street parking is available so it may be difficult to find parking.

This place is always incredible, but TODAY- THEY WERE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME. The baguette, first of all, it the most heavenly fluff I've ever had in my life. Ripped off a piece, and the bread squished and re-fluffed to the original shape... what!?!? Heaven. The everything bagel- 15/10, pan au chocolate was also the most delectable one in existence. Always the best coffee in town. Thanks, Continental, for making my day and ruining every other bakery for me! I love you.

Referred here by a friend. We got some fresh meal, some shortbread cookies and greens pie. The cookies were good...very thick, but good. We used the cornmeal and it was really good. The greens pie however, tasted like refrigerator (the crust). The greens inside were very plain and there was no cheese, tho listed in the ingredients. This "pie" for a 6" was 20$. I just looked it up because the cashier didn't give us a receipt and we had no idea how much it was. Too much money for something that tasted so awful, but at least we could eat the cornbread. Very cute store, but will try another bakery next time.
My family and I stop here sometimes when visiting Birmingham and we find some good things on good deals!

The prices are too high for the way the sweet tastes and pastries taste it doesn’t even make no sense. It’s like old world style pastries something that your grandma would make from scratch but it don’t taste like the real sweets that you’re used to.
