The 16 best cake shops and cake bakeries in Hoover

It smelled really nice inside, and I love the look of the place. It was so quaint and cute. They had tons of options to choose from, the staff was very polite and while they were busy they were very quick with getting people in and out. Definitely try the savory biscuits.

We used magic muffins for our wedding- Bride and Grooms cake, and absolutely loved them!!! Very affordable in the wedding cake business and soooo yummy!!! We did a few cake tastings in the area and this one was most affordable and best tasting!!! I got traditional white, and then my husband is a big lord of the rings fan and they were open to making this hobbit hole cake based off a Pinterest inspo pic and they did awesome we loved it!!! They delivered them both as well!

Magic Muffins created my bridal cake and groom’s desserts for my wedding and both were phenomenal. The cheesecake bites with golf ball truffles were perfect for my golf pro husband. Our almond flavored cake was beautiful, delicious, and moist. We received many compliments on both. The staff were easy to work with and the pricing was very reasonable. I’ll definitely use Magic Muffins for celebrations for many years to come!

Magic Muffins baked our bride and groom’s cakes for our wedding. They were awesome to work with from start to finish. Both cakes were beautiful, but the groom’s bourbon barrel cake took the prize. It was so realistic, some guests thought it was a decoration until we cut it. Both cakes were super tasty and we can’t wait to order our special cakes from Magic Muffins for many years to come!

Wow! What a tasty cake! This was a custom cake we had done by Magic Muffins. We ordered the Italian Cream cake. The cake was dense, rich and moist after cutting into it the next day. We really appreciate the customer service that came with the cake as well! Reasonably priced for the quality you receive!

Placed an order for cupcakes and a cake for a bridal shower, almond cake with almond butter cream. It was so beautiful and tasted amazing, and everyone loved it!

Excellent for a morning Muffin on the way to work. The owner always has a smile on his face. Come early if you want to be assured of getting a bran Muffin; they go fast.

Stumbled upon Continental Bakery after leaving the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Located in a very cool little shopping district that is very dog friendly. Had to wait for 20 minutes as people were shuffling in and out to get their drinks and croissants. I would have left but I was told this place was very good so I waited. Inside is a small and eclectic area to look at the goodies, give your order, and pay. My croissant was very good and did remind me of the ones I had in Paris with many variants available. My shortbread cookie was cutely decorated but overpriced for what I got (just give me the shortbread with a smattering of icing for taste). Worth the stop in if you are in the area.

Oh wow, what a spectacular Bakery in the gorgeous Old English District. Sit on the sidewalk or take a gorgeous walk with your bakery treat and coffee/tea. Shortbread cookies, artist breads, cakes, pies, and a wide assortment of freshly baked treats. You can get a sandwich as well and also get refrigerated artisan soups to go. This is such a wonderful bakery!

I was really excited to try this bakery. Unfortunately, the pot de creme was made with coffee, and I didn't think to ask so I wasn't able to eat it. The palette was delicious! The sandwich was pretty basic and I didn't realize it wouldn't come with sauces. The sandwich bread was good though. I bought some other things too. The pies look fantastic! I would probably come here again, but only for specific items. The pricing was pretty fair. The person who served me seemed fairly impatient. Never having been there before, I wasn't sure how to order everything. The shop isn't very newcomer friendly All you could see was what they had on display even though they had drinks and sandwiches They had three parts of a menu that was in very small font and if you didn't know they had something you didn't know we were there 20 minutes and just happened to overhear they had sandwiches And had to ask for the sandwich menu because it wasn't on display They have a website but it also wasn't on display so if you don't know you wouldn't know unless you just happened to look but even that it didn't have a list of drinks or the sandwiches and it looked to have been a couple of years out of date because they prices were wrong A third of their baked goods were shortbread cookies You also couldn't see prices for the bread

Did some searching for a bakery that was open to sit down to eat and chat for a short while, only setting was outside at night with a cold chill, if there was a heat lamp next too use this would have made the night. This place sits in a small like English village with a unique bakery, lots of desserts, and homemade breads, salads, sandwiches, like to see this place in the daytime.

We spent an exorbitant amount of money on the pastries and were very disappointed. They all lacked flavor and were dry. At best the flavor was peculiar, at worst there was no flavor. The brownie was particularly disappointing as it lacked cocoa flavor and really didn’t even taste like chocolate.

Beautiful, quiet place! The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is phenomenal. If you're looking for a place like the bakery from Kiki's Delivery Service, this is the closest anyone will ever get :D

I ha ve been coming here for years but it seems like it is not the same anymore since the new management. I came here today to celebrate my good news about my doctor appointment. I was expecting to sit down and enjoy my coffee in a mug and my dessert on a plate and enjoyed the outside but the lady that served me said that they do not do that anymore. I got a to go coffee and a brown bag to go for my dessert. It is a bad service for an expensive deasert

The reviews are right - the cake decorator here SUCKS. I came in on a Friday to order a gender reveal cake to be picked up the next day. I requested a plain white exterior with the inside filling matching the gender written on the card I provided. I made it clear that the cake was meant for me. The lady who took my order handled it well—she took the card to the back, opened it there so I wouldn’t see the gender, and handed it back to me. However, when I came to pick up the cake the next day, I was absolutely stunned and disappointed. There were green leaf accents on the cake, but most shocking of all—there was PINK frosting on top of the cake!!!!! The entire purpose of a gender reveal cake is the surprise, and it was completely ruined before I even left the bakery. How could such an obvious mistake happen? What makes this even more frustrating is that the front staff KNEW this cake was meant to be a surprise. They asked if it was my first baby and even encouraged me to guess what I thought the gender might be. Yet somehow, the decorator completely ignored the instructions and put the gender color on full display for everyone to see. I didn’t say anything to the staff because I know the decorator made the mistake, but I was deeply disappointed. I cried in my car. I had to take the cake home and carefully scrape off all the pink frosting before cutting it with my fiancé and his parents the next day. While the front staff was friendly, they failed to communicate to the decorator that the cake was supposed to remain a surprise. Ruining my first pregnancy surprise was bad enough, but considering the price I paid for this cake, I am extremely disappointed with Savage’s…

Great bakery with some cool gifts! Delicious cookies! Wanted to try every one!! Will definitely go back for one of the King Cakes!!

I recently placed my first order with Savages Bakery, and unfortunately, it will be my last. When I ordered a cake over the phone, they asked for a description and a picture of what I wanted, which I provided. The cake I received looked somewhat different than what was described, but I’m not usually one to make a fuss, so I planned to just take it home. On the way up to my apartment, however, the box they gave me broke, smearing the writing on the cake. I called back right away, and the woman who answered was very understanding — she told me to come back so they could fix it. Since the cake already didn’t fully match my description, I also asked if those issues could be corrected while they were re-icing it. Unfortunately, while she tried to help me, the baker in the background was on speakerphone being extremely rude. He loudly said it was “my damn fault” that the cake was damaged and that he shouldn’t have to fix it. He cursed at me, offered no solutions, and made it clear he didn’t want to help. By the end of the call, I felt so disrespected that I told them to keep both the cake and my money. For reference, this was a $120 cake — extremely overpriced for what it was — and the customer service experience was beyond unprofessional. I hope the next customer who has an issue is treated with more kindness and respect 💛

Unfortunately, this bakery is going downhill. I've heard they were bought out. No cash payment anymore, no more dome cakes/smash cakes for babies, hard to accept a last minute order because it will "overwhelm their cake decorator" and they don't offer as many cake decoration options as they once did. Hopefully they make some changes so that they keep their customers. Called this morning to order a dome cake for a smash cake and they only offered a 7". I'll be ordering from another bakery. I've been a loyal Savage's customer for 30+ years... every birthday cake comes from Savage's. This is the first year I'll be ordering cakes from a different bakery. Please improve, Savage's! Stop changing things that made Savage's successful for all these years.

Savage's is a gem in Homewood! I love their orange coffee cake, which is really just orange rolls, for any occasion! The best deal is to go in the morning and check out their "day old" stuff. It's still delicious and discounted! Highly recommend checking them out and grabbing some goodies, you won't regret it (unless you're counting calories)!

3-25-2024. Update. Don't know how many cakes we've gotten here over the years but there have been lots! And again, never disappointed. Spring flowers this trip. 10-23-2023. Birthday cake time again. Never disappointed. I promise it taste as good as it looks...lol. Fall flowers.

These are the best cakes on the planet. We drove 150 miles to get one. All of their pastries are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Advertising breakfast until 2pm yet the kitchen is closed at 10:45 on a Saturday to “prepare for lunch”. We couldn’t even get toast. Quite possibly the poorest service I’ve experienced in Birmingham in recent memory. Despite not needing to cook or prepare a thing, it still took over 15 minutes to get the cold danishes. Add to that, the tables were filthy and they didn’t offer a plate of any kind. I can’t find any reason to come back. Congrats on being hip while your core job (serving food) fails miserably. At least it seems like some love was put into the actual prep and they use quality ingredients.

Where do I start?! Honestly I didn’t have high expectations when I arrived here. It seemed more like a neighborhood spot that people frequented not particularly because it was good but because it was spacious, available, and easy to get to. Well I was wrong. While insider is spacious and cozy they are absolutely worth the visit for both locals and outsiders. I arrived early in the morning and the case was fully stocked and the cashier was very friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions, even obvious ones, and never seemed disgruntled or bothered. I ordered two cookies, the bacon egg and cheese sour dough breakfast “focaccia “ , and a coffee. Coffee was just what I needed to start my morning. Fresh, hot, and soothing. Then the pastries. I got the oatmeal raisin cookie and the pumpkin cheesecake. Both were out of this world. Soft, chewy inside, slight crunch to the edge, and full of flavor. Probably 2 of the best cookies I’ve had. The bacon egg and cheese sour dough was warm which was nice, well seasoned, perfect bready chew while being airy. It was an all around winner for me. I actually went back later that day for seconds but only got a cookie as they were low on offerings right before closing. Again this place is well worth a visit. Nothing in the case is the wrong choice and while this isn’t some modern, sleek, 2025 looking bakery they invest the time and effort in to making every single offering tasty and worth your money. I can’t wait to go back to Birmingham if only for this bakery.

THE BEST bread and pastries in town and lunch is incredible. We've all had a ham and cheese croissant...but you really haven't until you've had one of theirs. Absolutely incredibly pizzas, soups and sandwiches. One of the best places in town to eat.

I really enjoyed lunch here waiting for my appointment and walked across the street and had an avocado BLT,coffee black and finished with a chocolate cookie! Delicious I enjoyed it and the atmosphere! Service was spot on and friendly! I’ll be back!

BBW used to be one of our favorites. What has happened? The once loved fresh, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside baguette now tastes like it has been sitting for a few days. The almond frangipane was a little better. Their most recent JCDH food score is 91. I hope they can turn this around soon.

Delicious bread, tasty sandwiches and really nice staff. We stopped by here as I was dropping off my husband on the airport, but we had an hour to grab a quick lunch. The food was great, and the bread of course was excellent. The place had a cool and chill atmosphere, I think I'll come back more often in the future, especially if I'm just driving to Birmingham for an airport run!

I'm giving five stars bcuz the staff was just amazing!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ However, I ordered a piece of red velvet cake that wasn't great at all. Bland cream cheese icing, cake layers taste like chocolate cake. They need serious improvements on their cake recipes. I recommend Martha Stewart cakes or Southern Living recipes. No one's gonna know. I'll just have to start ordering something else. The other reviews seem to love the food dishes.🩷🩷 Edit: I got a response from the management for this review. And I totally get wanting to defend your product. But I've been here enough times to stick with my review on the cakes. On my first ever visit here four years ago, I bought a piece of banana cake with nuts and cream cheese icing and it was a big piece and it was the perfect density but still light and delicious. The second time, I brought someone with me to try it. We couldn't eat it bcuz it was heavy dry and bready. I tried it again a few months later and it was the same thing. They don't sell it anymore for obvious reasons. A red velvet cake's cream cheese icing should have a tang like cream cheese. The cake itself should not taste like chocolate. I know 1 or 2 TBSP of cocoa powder goes in the mix but that day it was too much.

If you want to eat a French pastry without traveling to France, this is THE place to go! Everything was utter perfection, simply fantastique—chef's kiss! We tried the Nutella and strawberry pop tarts, almond croissant, lemon tart and choux. There aren't enough words to adequately describe the euphoric experience of eating these works of art. Go try some for yourself and you will agree!

We stopped by Bandit Patisserie and were immediately impressed by how immaculate the place was. The setting is clean, modern, and inviting..just the kind of atmosphere you want to enjoy a good pastry and coffee. Ann Martin, who was behind the counter, greeted us with a warm smile and made some great suggestions. They were running a buy one pastry, get a drip coffee free special, which we gladly took advantage of. My brother asked if it applied to iced coffee, but it didn’t. No big deal.. we ordered, sat down, and enjoyed some truly incredible pastries. The savory Danish was perfect, and the homemade strawberry pop tart was simply fantastic. What really made the experience memorable, though, was Ann Martin’s kindness. Later on, she came over with an iced coffee, explaining that she’d be tossing it out the next day and remembered my brother asking about it earlier. She offered it to him for free.. a small gesture that spoke volumes about how much they care about their customers and community. She didn’t have to do it, but she did, and it genuinely made our day. It’s rare to find a place that not only serves amazing pastries but also leaves you feeling this welcomed and appreciated. Bandit Patisserie is a gem, and Ann Martin’s thoughtfulness is the perfect example of why this spot deserves every bit of praise it gets. Highly recommend stopping by,you won’t just leave with great pastries, you’ll leave with a smile.

Stopped in to bandit while spending a day in Birmingham checking out the food scene. It was top on my list and I can say it didn’t disappoint. Inside is cute and the perfect amount of space with a few outside seats. The stay was super friendly and kind. We made small talk about my trip and delicious pastries while I ordered and I felt very welcomed. As for the pastries. I picked the pumpkin cheese cake cruffin, triple ginger cookie, snicker doodle cookie, and strawberry poptart. Cruffin was tender and delicious with ample filling. The cookies were the perfect softness with a little chew and a slight crunch on the edge. Absolutely perfect. The strawberry poptart was a little disappointing. It’s thick and puffy so you’re expecting a filled pastry full of chunky strawberries and fruity delights. Instead you bite in and it’s a hallow cave inside about an inch thick of air with a tiny smear of strawberry jam at the bottom. It was so little you almost couldn’t even taste it against the buttery pastry itself. Over all 3 out of 4 being home runs I’d absolutely go back. Plus the hospitality was top notch.

Love this place! It’s like a little trip to Paris. Small but well appointed with big windows, minimalist decor. Awesome wallpaper in bathroom! Decor complete with retro map of Paris. Great coffee/tea and delicious pasteries-flaky, fresh, cute and delish ✅. Staff is friendly and helpful. And free drip Fridays; buy a pastry/get a free drip coffee. As a busy realtor, I live to set up client meetings at places like this to showcase what our lively little city has to offer. This is what makes it fun to live in the ‘ham.

Pastries are amazing, the coffee is mid at best. The staff is borderline rude, maybe an off day? Definitely has potential

Lovely experience all around. These earl grey donuts were absolutely delicious! The prettiest pastries and atmosphere.

Sunday was my first visit to the Birmingham location. I was a fan of the previous Homewood location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facility is nice and just the right size to have a coffee and pastry. I had the London Fog tart. I’d get it 5 stars - beautiful, with just the right amount of sweetness and a hint of tea 🥹. Highly recommended!

We found out about this place through the local flavor app.We decided to try a few different things. What's not to like?! When you open the door, the smell of happiness greets you. I know the door says warm cookies, but let me explain. They don't microwave them. They come out of the oven and then put into a warmer. Those oatmeal raisin cookies were like soft clouds of sweetness that fell from heaven. Then we tried the tuxedo cheesecake. The level of chocolaty decadence is mouthwatering. The cinnamon rolls are big enough to share, but good luck with that. They have a good variety of flavored popcorn as well. The caramel popcorn was a good balance of sweet and salty. I'll definitely go back soon!

They really care. And that says a lot! The cake they made was a huge addition to my wife's 30th birthday. It looked incredible and tasted amazing and everyone was asking me where it came from. They worked with me over the phone and over email to create exactly what I was hoping for. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to make this cake. Thank you!

Cute, I intimate setting. Mixture of Vintage and modern decor. Vast variety of cupcakes to select from. I had a ball trying to figure out which one to get. TRY THEM ALL! TRY THE KOOZIES especially the ref velvet one. My favorite one 😍 Oatmeal Raisin!!!!!! A must go to, especially for a personal treat or Celebratory Event!!!!!

I expected so much more after following this business for the past two years in the media! I really thought the owner would be involved in making and designing my husband's birthday cake but I guess she only gets involved with high-end clientele orders. I will not be giving them any more business. For 120 dollars for a 10inch cake, Publix would have looked good and tasted delicious. The red velvet cake was dry and crumbly and the cream cheese icing tasted like buttercream. Also, the cake design was very plain with bland colors. I was so upset when I left there on yesterday! Also, when I reached out to let the owner know my experience with the cake, I was told that she wasn't available and would get back with me.

Ordering a realistic pancake cake from this shop was a great decision. The communication process about designing the cake was really easy and the cashier explained how to store the cake when I picked it up. Would recommend Cakeffect to anyone looking for a beautiful, quality cake

I placed 2 speciality order and each was amazing very detail and taste great. The Best bakery in Hoover. Everything is great there, cupcakes, cakes, pies and cookies. A must try if your in the area.

I cannot say enough good things about CakEffect! They made my cake for my wedding in November, and it was a hit among all my guests. Not only did my cake taste amazing, but it was also a beautiful visual for my reception. I highly recommend CakEffect for all of you specialty cake needs!

Ate breakfast there today and it was fabulous. Had the breakfast sandwich on whole wheat bread and conecuh sausage. It was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. Also, got to taste their new peanut butter cookie and it was great also. Service was good & food is excellent. Also, called Smoothrock Cafe and located under dermatology doctor office. It is worth the trip!!

Fantastic coffee, delicious gluten free options, serene outdoor patio seating adjacent to a bird filled forest. Best possible way to start a morning.

No one was there, I wanted to try their cinnamon roll. It was unclear how they operate since there is nothing to explain it besides a piece of paper that says self checkout. Unfortunately paid for a cinnamon roll and the guy in the cafe showed me how to get a refund. Waste of time.

I love bread and this is the best. I don't feel like I'm eating something bad for me like some other breads. This is pure! Treat your body good..

Even though their website invites you to visit.....you cannot easily do so. They seem to offer phone orders and pickup but no retail sales at this location, although extras that were not delivered might be available.

Love this place! Bread and granola are awesome. Available at river run piggly wiggly.

They have a coffee shop that serves red bike coffee. Great to stop in, get a good coffee, and some good wholesome bread

It was our first time to visit. It also was my husband's birthday so it was a birthday treat for him.... Okay, well I enjoyed it too! The staff was super friendly and very helpful making our decision of what to get. This is my new favorite celebratory sweet place. Thank you for the wonderful sweet treat and nice environment!

Ronisha and the crew provide consistently friendly and attentive service, accurately fulfilling each customer's order. They remain courteous, even when faced with a high volume of customers. The cookies are extremely addictive. I visit the downtown location at least twice a week!

First time here. Wanted to try it. The young lady at the counter wasn’t friendly at all. I told her it was my first time there. She said let me know when you ready and that was it. When I told her I was ready and what I wanted to try. She said what you said? She didn’t hear me because she was talking on the phone with earbuds in her ear. I asked her what’s the difference in the brownies she said just chocolate. So I just picked one. At that point I was ready to order anything and just go. I know it’s a cookie shop but I wanted to know more about the menu. I gave it a 3 because she wasn’t welcoming but she wasn’t friendly nor was she customer friendly she was on the phone.

I love this place and the cookies here are delicious!!!!!! They are always warm and ready to eat. They stay open late for that late night sweet run!!! Don’t sleep on these cookies!! Try them, you won’t regret it!

Insomnia Cookies never disappoints! Their cookies are always warm, soft, and fresh—just the right balance of gooey in the middle with a slight crisp on the edges. The variety is impressive, from classic chocolate chip to more unique flavors like s’mores and double chocolate chunk. I especially loved my experience with Christian as he was very welcoming. Will be returning.

Amazing Cookies & Even Better Service! I just had to leave a review for Insomnia Cookies – they are consistently fantastic! Every time I order, I'm blown away by how incredibly fast they are. Seriously, it's like magic how quickly those warm, delicious cookies arrive at my door. But it's not just the speed; their staff is always so friendly and kind. Whether it's the person taking my order or the delivery driver, they're always a pleasure to interact with. It really makes the experience even better. If you're craving some delicious cookies and want them delivered with a smile and lightning speed, Insomnia Cookies is definitely the place to go! Highly recommend!

I had a great experience !! All the staff are super nice and friendly and really made me feel welcome to come back any time. 10/10 will be recommending !!

What an excellent idea, baby bites. The perfect size for when you are craving something sweet. They have so many flavors to choose from, it's impossible to walk away with just one. I ordered four bites: strawberry, Italian cream, red velvet, and caramel. I enjoyed each flavor, the cake was very moist and each icing was delicious. You have free parking in front of the shop and the service was very friendly. In addition to cakes, you can purchase daily prepared meals, beverages, and greeting cards.

I really enjoy the pastries but the customer service is consistently terrible. This is one of those scenarios where I would rather order ahead (if it was an option) and not have to deal with anyone because the people behind the counter clearly don’t want to be there and they clearly don’t want me there either.

My daughter went there yesterday August 5th 2025 at noon to pick up some cakes for my birthday. She said the two girls working in there were so rude and unhelpful. That is no way to run a business.

These cake bites are very tasty…in moderation of course! My favorite is the chocolate with yellow batter. My family likes the marble and vanilla the best. Delicious!

My family loves the Baby Bites. Some of their favorites are the red velvet and the caramel flavors. On my visits, the staff has been friendly and on only one occasion was there a line. Parking can be a little uncomfortable but well worth the effort.

Wow! Need a cool dessert? A wonderful present? A fabulous gift? Or, a personal treat? This is your stop.

Nice place to pick up something for your sweet tooth and the one you love. The picture is a small example of the goodness that this place bakes. Sharing these will be hard for they are that delicious 😎😎😎

Dangerous place, at risk of excess eating and other bad culinary things. Met Marta, lovely lady. Vibe in the business reflects her spirit. Believe she is retiring soon and it is clear that the new owner is already taking on her style. Here to many more years of Marta's.

I was frustrated 2 months before my wedding, I could not find someone who can prepare my kosher cake. Justin from Marta's bakery was willing to do her first kosher cake, she came to our kitchen and learnt everything about it. She was beyond of her job, she brought the ingredients a day before and she helped us to decorate the cake and find special ingredients we requested in order to keep it kosher. Everybody loved it. She also figured out to find the birds I could not have the time to find it and did everything for a good price, punctuality and quality. Thanks Justin.

The food is always so delicious and the treats are like sweet heaven that will melt in your mouth and perk up your vibes 😋 Come and give Martha’s bakery a try, you will not be disappointed 💯

We’ve tried a few different baked goods that were all delicious! The staff is very friendly. We love Marta’s!

My husband and I were one of Martas first customers. In fact, I think it's our dollar bill framed there. That was many years ago, and we have enjoyed every year. Martas is wonderful. She bakes like an angel. You will go back time and time again once you taste her many offerings. Our favorites are her chocolate cake, carrot cake and cream cheese brownies. Ih and her Peach bread when in season. All if her breads are delicious though. Her cooler always has quick pick up foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great casseroles. So much there. Order early!!

Excellent food and atmosphere. They vegetable beef soup is pretty good ♥️♥️

Marta's Bakery is lovely!! It has a large selection of homemade casseroles that are out of this world. The Martha Bakery employees are helpful, answered all my questions, didn't rush me, & were kind. The bakery is well organized, clean, and the food items are clearly marked with simple cooking directions!

Amazing! We were on a road trip and drove out of our way to stop here. They don’t advertise that all their ingredients are vegan but they are… a little secret that makes their cinnamon buns a million times more amazing (without common allergens of eggs and dairy, plus cruelty free)! They have several flavor combos to choose from or you can build your own by topping the bun with your choice of frosting and toppings (and they have tons of options to choose from - it really blew me away!). They also have edible cookie you can buy in a container or load a scoop of it up with toppings. The cookie dough is to die for. Pricing of everything is very affordable. They currently have pumpkin spice seasonal rolls (amazing) and limited time pizza rolls which were a perfect “dinner” before digging into a loaded dessert roll. They even have mini rolls and cakes and do catering. Literally an option for everyone. I love this place and would be there all the time if I was local. Staff is accommodating and really kind! Customer service is fantastic. Highly recommend!

I normally like to take a photo of my food before I post a review. I made a mistake this time by tasting just a tiny bit of the icing. That mistake coupled with the wonderful aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls caused me to devour the scrumptious treat before I could snap a pic. You might think that this would be a morning stop for breakfast and coffee but that is not the case. They do not even open until 10am. This is more of a desert stop or a skip lunch so you can get a treat stop. They have cookie dough that is scooped like ice cream and then cinnamon rolls that you can add toppings to. The coffee is good and comes from Babba Java which I have reviewed before. The icing tastes like it is home made with all natural ingredients, it is not your typical icing. You need to try this place soon, before the lines get too long. I saw a box of minis and thought that might be a good alternative to birthday cupcakes. Sorry about my pitiful photos, the rolls were to good to wait. I will try again next time.

I was so excited to see a place selling cinnamon rolls so I stopped and bought 2 originals . The first thing I noticed is how light the rolls were ( under cooked maybe) , kinda like a canned biscuit. Still tried it anyway. At first bite there was an overwhelming taste of butter flavor in the cream icing … yuk ! Like eating a stick of butter ! No cinnamon flavor what so ever , definitely nothing close to home made . This is a pop up shop selling generic can cinnamon rolls. Nothing special, not worth the cost , the calories or the gas . The young girl was not rude but definitely lacked personality. Not sure how they have lasted this long .

The icing was a little too buttery. The size of the cinnamon roll wasn’t worth the cost in my opinion. Not much cinnamon flavor, but maybe I’m just used to Cinnabon.

WHERE’S THE GOO?!?! I want to love these cinnamon rolls so much!! Cinnamon Rolls are one of my absolute favorite things!!! I’ve tried Cinnaholic several times now and always am left with the same “ehhh” experience. Simply put.. there’s not nearly enough goo!! These rolls need so much more cinnamony goodness on the inside. The rolls are so dry and are in desperate need of flavor. There’s zero oozing of that deep brown sticky cinnamon goo that I’ve come to expect when eating a cinnamon roll. None of the rolls from Cinnaholic come close to having that oozy goodness. I took a pic from the one I got today and the center, that is usually the best ooey gooey part, had NOTHING inside. It was just the roll with zero signs of cinnamon. Super disappointing.

The guy at the counter was friendly, fun and tried to make me spend more. The cinnamon roll wasn't the taste or texture I was looking for. Something on it was very greasy. It just didn't have that flake that I needed or softness that I needed

Edit: August 3, 2022. It has been a year since I have been but I wanted to try again and update my picture. Still as good and I still recommend. Finally ate here last night, and I was impressed! The buns were a little smaller than anticipated but it was good! I had the Campfire s’mores! So sweet and tasty! Everything is vegan so I didn’t know what to expect. It’s really good and I highly recommend. My picture is after I took it home but it originally looked good and fresh. Tiktok: @chasaeats Insta: @chasafulkerson

Super great scones and a generous supply of variations! So tasty and fresh!

Highland Gourmet Scones is my favorite sweet treat in town. The orange cranberry should be illegal it’s so good. The texture of the scones is like nothing else I’ve tasted. It’s like a scone-biscuit-cookie-cake cloud, baked to perfection. Dang, now I want another one.

Drive through only while we were there. Scones were very good and we would go again

My organization partnered with Highlands Scones for corporate gifting and I cannot recommend them enough! They made the entire process easy and efficient. We received numerous compliments on the taste and quality of the scones too!

Most delicious scones ever!! Great selection. I had my doubts about some of the flavors, but they were all wonderful. If you love coconut, the Toasted Coconut scone is fantastic.

What is a hot cup of tea without a good scone? I've searched everywhere and found Highland Gourmet Scones. Oh my goodness! They arrived individually packaged inside a reusable tin. When the scones hit my taste buds, it was an instant party in my mouth! They were soft, fresh, and the orange cranberry flavor made me do cartwheels. (Okay, maybe in my mind.) I immediately ordered another tin for my upcoming Easter tea. Great job Highland for a scone that tastes even better heated up with smear of butter on top. Yum, yum!

Very pleased with every visit to Highland Gourmet Scones. I live out of the state and any time that I am in town I swing by for a scone pick up. I at first tried the mini's to distinguish which ones would be our favorite, but I have to be honest we like them all. So we have upgraded to purchasing the large scones in a variety of flavors. A few have made it to being a fan favorite - Cherry Amaretto, Pumpkin Spice, Toasted Coconut, and Orange Cranberry. The regular size scones are a bit more moist, and have a stronger flavor. We highly recommend them, and have not been disappointed with any of our orders!! The one time I returned home without scones..........we had a few sad faces. It is now what we look forward to when I am in town. Plus they are a great spot for coffee!!

Great little bakery in the heart of Vestavia. Had the cinnamon rolls and they were delicious. Going back to try more of their offerings very soon!

Cinnamon Rolls here are a must try. The Original was delicious.🔥 The orange has a real orange taste🍊. The blueberry lemon is great.🫐 Extremely friendly service. CHECK OUT video REVIEWS @GHSTLENS 📸 YOUTUBE | TIKTOK | INSTAGRAM

Today was my first time trying Rolls & it was very disappointing. The large cinnamon roll was hard & dry, even though they heated it up before icing it.it also lacked flavor. I had to warm it up in the microwave to make it edible & then could only eat the middle. What a waste of $5!

This was my first time here and we will definitely be back! My husband and I have lived in the area for a few years, we’ve probably passed this bakery at least a hundred times going to Chick-fil-A to get our Saturday breakfast. It actually got my attention when it showed up my on “For You” page on TikTok of all things and I recognized it. The bakery itself is super cute and the workers who helped me were very friendly! We got the Pigs in a Blanket, Sausage Balls, a Jumbo Cinnamon Roll, Caramel Latte and a Caramel Cold Brew. Everything was excellent and honestly I think I’m gonna be dreaming about those cinnamon rolls for a while, they’re amazing.

I love Rolls so much. Katie and her team are some of the kindest and warmest people I’ve ever encountered. The way they support the local community and other small businesses is inspiring. And their products are amazing and delicious. Grateful to have such a gem in Vestavia! Give them a try and you will be so happy you did.

Absolutely love rolls Bakery! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and love that goes into everything they make. The owner is the head baker, and it really shows in the quality of their baked goods — everything is fresh, delicious, and made with so much love. The staff are incredibly friendly and always makes you feel like part of the family. Whether you're stopping by for fresh baked treats or picking up one of their amazing prepared-to-go meals, you can’t go wrong. Their freezer selection is fantastic, with take-and-bake casseroles, soups, and cookies that make dinner or dessert easy and tasty. Every item is made with top-quality ingredients, and you can taste the difference. It’s my go-to spot in Vestavia, and I can't recommend it enough!

The new storefront on 31 in Vestavia is adorable and the rolls are delicious as always! Great service and management! You can tell that they care about their products and customers in everything they do. Today I got the orange roll and three sausage balls: a really yummy combo! Going to head back soon for a strawberry roll!

I love this place! However, today, I was slightly disappointed. I drove up from Montgomery, the closest location. It was 3:00, and they were out of cookies and cinnamon rolls. I’m unsure why they didn’t cook more because they had a few hours left to be open, but I was disappointed because we made a special trip just for the cinnamon rolls, and we couldn’t purchase as many as we wanted.

A friend suggested we have breakfast at Edgar's this morning. Initially, I thought she meant the one on Hwy 280, but she clarified it was in Pelham. I was surprised to learn there was a bakery there! 👍The Pelham Edgar's Bakery turned out to be a charming little spot with excellent service and delicious breakfast food.❤️ It's definitely a place I'll visit again, whether for breakfast or just to pick up a sweet treat.😁

My sons Ma Ma ordered a king cake…. We received it today and decided after dinner perfect time to eat it before lent. To our surprise it was half ”RAW” (Pictures to prove it)!!!!... I pray my sons Ma Ma gets a full refund!! Yes we may live now in Austin MN but we know what a king cake looks like. I threw it away from 5 people hoping all of us to enjoy it. No way will I get my son sick nor company. Please refund my Sons Ma Ma (Grandmother) her purchase!! This went and was so wrong in so many ways. Especially the day before LENT!! Respectfully, Unsatisfied new, now not again customers of Austin MN

We were traveling through Pelham and stopped to pick up coffee and breakfast. What an absolute treat hidden behind all of the other fast food restaurants. Every pastry we got was incredibly delicious, portions were large, so we had to share with family, which allowed everyone to have a little bit of everything we got. The staff was so friendly and helpful with helping us with our pastry choices. There are lots of fun knick knacks for purchase. A cold case of lunch and deli items for takeaway. We wished we would've stayed long enough to buy a cake! We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

I visited Edgar's Bakery in Pelham this morning and placed a to-go order around 9:08 AM. After waiting 20 minutes, I checked in with the host, who went to the back and said it would be about 5 more minutes. By the 30-minute mark, I noticed another customer—who had ordered after me—receive her food, including some of the same items I had ordered. I asked the host again about my order, and a manager stepped in. After checking with the kitchen, the manager explained that their order screen was broken and told the host she should have kept better track of my ticket. The manager offered cupcakes as a courtesy, which I appreciated, but my intention was mainly to share feedback on how the situation was handled. As an African American customer, I left feeling overlooked and uncomfortable. Whether intentional or not, experiences like this can leave a lasting impression and deserve reflection and attention from management.

My birthday cake turned out so beautifully! The writing was so elegant! They were able to accommodate a last minute request! Ashley was so kind and professional! I’m so grateful for everything!

I was impressed with the atmosphere And the display counter was awesome. The employees were charming. Bought three as it was my first time. Bought Carrot, strawberries and cream, and White chocolate. LOVED THEM ALL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰❤️❤️❤️!

I called at 9 this morning to place an over the phone order for pick up. The lady who i spoke with told me i don’t need to make an online order because the cakes do not sell out because they are constantly making them . I get to the store and she said she was sold out of the cake i wanted . I’m upset because i wanted to make an order so i could secure my cakes and she told me it was pointless basically because they are constantly baking. I do not appreciate this type of customer service . If you are unsure then say that . Do not promise me something will happen when it will not .

We ordered a birthday cake in Strawberries and cream in a box and bought 4 bundlets in key lime, white chocolate raspberry, chocolate chip gluten free, and classic vanilla. They were all delicious and so fresh. The strawberries and cream is the best to me. We ordered the cake for my mom's birthday and it was awesome. I really think all the cakes are the best. If you get a chance, go get a bundlet. You won't be disappointed! You will be glad you did and will return!

Ordered a red velvet bundt for a July 4th get together. Associates were very friendly, store is always clean, and the bundt cake tasted amazing. Mom wanted some small American flags to put on it and the associates went above and beyond to give us some. Great job!

Love this place! They are the perfect addition to my Real Estate Closing Gifts! I also love the frequent flyer punchcard, because I get to cash in on freebies all the time! #soldbylaurenpreston #Kellerwilliamsvestavia

Outstanding Bundt Cakes! There's so many to choose from and they taste amazing what else can you say. Maybe $5 a piece, so the price isn't bad.

This is strawberry. Has a slight strawberry flavor but looks like a spice cake. Taste is close to boxed. Moist. Cream cheese frosting is really sweet. Underwhelming. 2.5

We picked this place because of the gluten free options for my daughter and she loved the two she tried. I had the cheesecake that was chocolate and it was outstanding! My husband had another chocolate kind of cupcake and enjoyed it, too. Fresh and tasty, substantial cupcakes.

Cupcakes looked great but we were disappointed to find out that the pile of frosting was more of a generic buttercream. The actual cake was nothing to get excited about and was not worth the price. Publix cupcakes are probably a better deal.

Will not buy any more cupcakes from here because they no longer have the lavender flavor.

The Best Cupcakes!! The cakes are delicious by themselves and the buttercream icing is addicting!

Staff did a wonderful job making my daughter's birthday cupcakes.

Giant cupcakes, some are really good, some not so much. But im not a huge sweet eater

Friendly staff. Supports military, and the best cupcakes I have ever had.
