10 Best Bakeries near Owens Cross Roads

“I was dog-sitting in OXR and needed a quick cup of coffee before I went to work. There haven’t been any options for coffee on this side of town so I was pleasantly surprised by this quick, convenient and very tasty coffee hutch! I will say $6 and some change for the equivalent of a tall latte at Starbucks was a little steep but I was in a pinch and it was fast and tasty.“

“We love Crumbl! We’ve never had a bad experience at the one from Jones Valley. Our favorite is the molten lava cookie. I do wish they would change up the classic pink sugar cookie… it’s time for something new.“

“My husband and I got our wedding cake through Emily with Baby Bites Bakery and we highly recommend! The second we had our initial consultation with her we knew it was going to be a great experience! Firstly, she took so much care into our vision and making sure it was crafted to perfection. Along the process we had spoken over emails to go through everything and Emily was such a delight! For the baby bites themselves, they were so delicious and moist, plus the decorative aspects were so cute! We couldn’t recommend this bakery any higher and suggest anybody to go and visit or choose this place to cater for your event! 10/10“

“Cute cafe. They couldn’t make a flat white, so I got tea. People seemed to be confusingly milling around near the counters which made my first time there odd (where do I order? Which people are in line?). Also bought the chocolate covered pretzels which were good“

“This mini bundt cake is soooo good! The icing is homemade the cake is so light and melts in your mouth. The drive there was atrocious but when I took a bite of this cake I knew that it was worth it. I'm definitely coming back here! I got White Chocolate Raspberry and Classic Vanilla.“

“You know how you are always wanting a quick lunch but don’t want greasy stuff or a huge meal? This is your new place. It is so good! The sandwich ingredients were fresh and quality. I had a veggie deluxe egg sandwich for lunch. The veggies were the perfect ripeness and texture- which is something most places fail at. The bread is the star at the restaurant and didn’t disappoint. I also had a flat white and it was A+. The service was quick and very friendly. They have really good looking treats (scones, muffins, bars) and loaves of bread for sale. I will be back.“

“My favorite cookies in the whole world, I use to live in bham and frequented the Homewood location. I was so excited to get one in Huntsville and they are just as amazing as the original. I can’t say how excited I am to get the Clift farm location even closer to my house!!!“

“Pizzelle's is an impressive little chocolate shop inside Lowe Mill. It's been around a while - I think they recently celebrated their 10 year anniversary - and for good reason. They have miniature cakes, ice cream/gelato, cookies, a few other confections like toffee, as well as coffee and tea...but the star of the show here is, no doubt, the chocolates. I've visited a couple times over the years but never felt comfy leaving a review because I hadn't had the chocolates - in the past, I've felt more snackish and chosen cookies or gelato. That's the reason for the 4 instead of a 5, honestly -- I wasn't super into either of those items in the past. The ice cream I had was better than the cookies (a mint chip flavor of some sort, a lil too heavy on the mint but otherwise tasty), but I've had cookies at least 3 times over the years and wasn't too taken with any of them. Perhaps I've just gotten unlucky. That aside...the chocolates are an easy 5/5. Yes, they are pricy, but they might as well be works of art. They really are just THAT beautiful. Each and every one is incredibly detailed, sculpted, and colored to perfection. They're all unique and all have thoughtful flavor combinations. You can order smaller bonbon type chocolates as well as a few signature candy bars. This time, I ordered four individual pieces as well as the Mommy Dearest candy bar. I enjoyed the smaller pieces over the next few days, but I was hungry and ate the candy bar right in the shop. It was delicious! Fluffy coconut, crunchy almonds, and gooey caramel with just enough salt. Fine fare! In order from least to most favorite (note: I liked all of these, just have my preferences like anyone): The Depth Charge. Tasty espresso zing, though I was missing the stout and nutmeg. It resembles a beer, though, with beautiful amber and brown ripples. Totally Tubular - reminds me of a 90s indoor skate park. Black and neon! Awesome colors. A very silky chocolate and almond praline. Nice! Nutty by Nature - definitely a favorite. Absolutely stunning swirls of blue, gold, and brown, and a strong nutty flavor and crunch. Not too much marshmallow, but just enough for some pillowy softness. Yum yum yum! Best for last: Give it to Me Baby!! A beautiful chocolate, though a bit more subtle and less flashy in design than the prior two. It's a little like a turtle candy -- absolutely delicious bourbon caramel (you really can taste the bourbon) and perfectly crunchy pecans. Can't lose with this one! Service is always friendly and polite. The quirky decor (lots of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory memorabilia) is fun and inviting. All in all, these chocolates would make a phenomenal gift for anyone in your life (including yourself!) who appreciates chocolate, art, or ideally both!“

“I took the cookie decorating class Tuesday night! I learned so much! The information and supplies was perfect and a steal for the cost. We had a great variety of cookie styles and good selection of colors for the cookies! Thank you Eileen for teaching us how to decorate the cookies!“

“For the first time in decades I was craving a cheese Danish and on the recommendation of a friend stopped at Peggy Ann Bakery. They have been in business since 1953 and I see why. The place was spotless and had nice displays with all the goodies. But the proof is in the tasting. WOW, the Danish was incredible! I'll be back for sure... Now, where can I find some cherry fritters?!? ;-)“
