14 Best Bakeries in Tuscaloosa

“I want to start this review by saying that my first visit to Ben’s Bread was a great experience. I had the opportunity to purchase a loaf, and it was excellent — so good that I wish I could go back and buy it again.

Unfortunately, their current purchasing system makes that nearly impossible. Customers have to go on the website every morning at 8:00 AM to reserve available items, but within about 10 seconds of the site opening, everything is already sold out. This system simply doesn’t work for people who genuinely want to purchase their products but never get the chance.

I’m sure that if I had the opportunity to try the bread again, I would love it just as much — but with the system set up this way, it doesn’t feel possible.

Edit: After reading a comment from Ben’s Bread on my post, I better understood how their preorder system works and how to actually place an order. This Tuesday, I ordered everything I’d been hoping to try, and I was extremely satisfied with every item.

Now that I understand the process, the ordering website makes a lot more sense, too. I’m not sure whether the site was updated after my review, but after taking another look, it’s much clearer to me.

Ben’s Bread is an amazing spot for the Tuscaloosa community to come together and enjoy great food. I’ll definitely be returning.“

“The cakes are amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I ordered a custom cake for my partner’s birthday from here, and not only was the cake a huge hit (inspired by key lime pie), the owner was incredibly warm, flexible, communicative and kind. 10/10 recommend for taste, quality and service!“

“Thank you to the Nothing Bundt Cakes Care Team for ensuring a delivery today of a beautiful cake to my son who lives in that area. We are truly appreciative of their responsiveness and additional attention to making this delivery a success, especially after a little mix-up that was out of their control. Both the manager and Ashley called me back, provided an immediate remedy, and excellent customer service all the way around. Thank you! We will certainly do business with them again and recommend this location for both the service to us - as well as their delicious cakes!“

“You can’t go wrong with anything you get here. We love it!“

“What a gem! We stopped after tasting some goodies at a local yarn shop and I had to get some Edgar's treats to bring home. I was incredibly impressed with their huge selection and the pricing was not outrageous (which I was kind of expecting). I wish we had an Edgar's in Florida, what an amazing shop!“

“Always delicious friendly staff“

“The cookies are OVER priced and NASTY! These used to be some of the best cookies in town I don't know what happened. Now they taste just like play dough🤮“

“This is one of my favorite coffee shops to work from as a local real estate agent. The space is cozy and comfortable, the staff is so friendly, and the food is delicious. I always leave with one of their baked goods (they're impossible to resist!). I highly recommend any of their locations.“

“This was amazing ice cream and cookies! I think I will be dreaming of the chocolate Nutella cookie!!! I had caramel pretzel chocolate ice cream!!! This place didn’t disappoint wish they would come to where we live. I will definitely come back anytime I visit Tuscaloosa.“
