“One of the best pound cakes I ever had!“

“It has been years, maybe even a decade since I’ve last experienced the greatness that is ivory LeShore’s white chocolate break pudding. I first ran into him at the proper place farmers market and often visited him across the city.

In 2019, I took a new career path and moved across the country. This weekend I found myself home and had previously coordinated to have two 9inch bread puddings sent to a local address. They just arrived in the mail (next day shipping) and I just had my first slice. It immediately transported me back into a place of comfort with the first bits. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture before cutting into It however I do have a second one that is currently in the freezer and will be making the trip across country with me.

Thank you Ivory and Patrice for coordinating with me. This was such a special treat ❤️“

“Jordan made this cake for a recent wedding. Not only was it exquisite with the classy scrollwork and beautiful flowers, but the guests RAVED about it. It was delicious! White cake, white buttercream, almond flavored icing. Thank you, Jordan, for making the wedding cake to my specifications and making it very memorable for the guests. It was transported 2 hours and survived the transport well! Thanks again! You deserve 5 stars!“

“The Chocolate Chip cookie was amazing!“

“Great coffee and friendly staff!“

“Always a great experience. The owner is a great person and makes them all from scratch.“

“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 salted caramel pretzel is my fav but I just tried the coconut for the first time and WOW.....sooo good! 😋“

“Wow wow wow! Ok. So, I'm not really a cookie person so it took me a long time to see what this place was about. And now . Well. I might be developing an addiction. Some of their options are desserts disguised as cookies. Like the Dubai cheesecake and heathbar tres leches. .both incredible btw. We got a bunch of different flavors and shared. And for that, I tried various cookies and the pink sugar cookie, the ultimate peanut butter cookie, and the brownies Sunday cookie. Cookie we're all enough to make me a cookie person. It's going to be hard to enjoy this place in moderation. Everything is really good“

“My husband and I LOVE Sunshine’s!!!! We are within walking distance and go as often as possible. Glenn and Sunshine are always so helpful when we don’t know exactly what to get. The Vietnamese coffee with coffee jellies is my favorite for a drink!!“

“Great tiny local bakery with some absolutely killer pastries when you're craving a little something sweet. We've had the croissants, pecan sticky buns, and fruit danishes - and all have been great. Every time we go we've tried something different and nothing is ever short of quality. Very small interior, basically just room for a few people to stand and the counter - but we don't really care about sitting inside, just be aware if that's your plan - there's no seating. Ladies behind the counter are always patient and kind.“

“The cakes are delicious and great quality!“

“The pies are AMAZING!!! So are the owners!!“

“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 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.“

“Such a great place! Got some wonderful snacks and a blueberry muffin that was divine!! very friendly gal helped me out and told me all about the other things that they have in their refrigerators freezers and are able to serve and cater for people! highly reccommend!“

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.“

“My order was ready on time and I just pulled to the window and picked it up from the nice guy who had it ready to go. The scones are really good. You can taste the butter, and the flavors of each of the varieties. They’re all delicious but my favorite was the toasted coconut.“

“Asistí a una celebración de 15 años y el pastel lo encargaron a Cake Las Comadres, ¡qué delicia! A todos nos encantó. Los tendré en cuenta en futuras celebraciones.“

“My family and I were at the Plantmania event in Daphne, AL and came across her booth. We ended up getting a lemon cake jar, a lemon cream cheese pound cake, and two chocolate chip cheesecake sandwich cookies. OMG is all I can say about the sandwich cookie! The cookies were perfect, the filling.....mmmmm, but together....oh my!!!!“

“I did t know until today that Edgar’s had a cafe with breakfast all day! Husband ordered the All American breakfast. Eggs were cooked perfectly, potatoes were flavorful, and possible the best sausage around. The cheddar biscuit and my orange coconut roll were amazing. We will put this on our regular rotation!“

Plenty of seating and parking. Friendly service. Highly recommend!“
