This was a very pleasant surprise coffee and bread shop last night.

Bread is so flaky. Pastries delicious. Pizza sooo good.

First-time customer, but won't be the last! Only bought a loaf of bread today, though there were delicious looking pastries available. There is plenty of seating in a cozy atmosphere with different rooms for privacy or group settings. Will plan to stay longer next time and enjoy a coffee and treat!

Ben's is truly the best bread and pastries and you can find in Tuscaloosa. Most gluten bothers me so I typically opt for a gluten free diet, but since everything is sourdough I can eat and enjoy it with no problems! I've had the jalapeño cheddar bagel, boston cream bombolone, and various danishes. Every thing I've tried has been spectacular—never been unsatisfied! Cannot recommend this place enough!! :)

We were visiting from New York and absolutely delighted to discover this little gem! I’d heard of the place through my mother-in-law, who raves about their sourdough bread (which truly is out of this world), so we decided to stop in for breakfast—and I’m so glad we did.
The coffee was excellent, and the pastries—also made with sourdough—were beautifully crafted and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. I had the blueberry and custard danish and immediately wished I’d ordered two!
The staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful, which really added to the experience. The ambiance is bright and inviting, with a clean white interior and a charming mix of mismatched furniture that somehow feels effortlessly intentional.
Another unexpected but much-appreciated bonus: there’s a small play area for kids. My son was happily entertained for almost two hours, which made the visit all the more enjoyable.
Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town!

My hubby and I found the food to be delicious, the service to be friendly, and the atmosphere to be calm and inviting. We people watch as we enjoy our pastries and coffee. It has become a Friday morning ritual for us.

What a great family -run place. Loved the pastries. A bit too expensive.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a really nice ramp up to the door, but the parking lot connected to the ramp is very uneven and hard to manage using a wheelchair or walker

Update: I can only go to this shop on Saturdays so I look forward to it all week and get upset if I can't go. The only problem I have is that I want everything they have every time. Delicious food and a wonderful small atmosphere. The staff is always smiling and friendly and if the weather is good there is a nice little outdoor area to enjoy the way too many pastries that I get.
Just a nice little shop with fantastic pastries. I got a half dozen of the chocolate croissants and a blueberry cream cheese Danish. All were delicious. I have to admit that I expected them to have an espresso machine, but they just have coffee and I don't really drink American coffee. These pastries were so good though, hard to say just how crispy and light they are without trying them. Delicious!
