The 22 best bakeries in Mobile

I’m writing to express my frustration and disappointment with a recent order I placed for a special occasion, which was not fulfilled correctly and was handled very poorly when I came to pick it up. The order included both a custom cake and cookies, which I placed well in advance and provided all the necessary details for, including reference images. Unfortunately, when I arrived to pick it up, several major issues occurred. The cake did not resemble the image I provided. I was told the images I sent couldn’t be used or “blown up,” yet the cake had the same images on it—just not done properly. The decoration looked rushed and was not what I ordered.When I raised these concerns, the associate said they “aren’t perfect” and “not highly tech image designers,” which felt dismissive. I was told the only option was to wipe the cake clean and try again, but that it would still only be a “50/50 chance” of getting it right—and would take another 30–45 minutes. I had guests arriving in less than an hour, and this delay was not acceptable for an event that was carefully planned. On top of that, the cookies were handled carelessly. I had clearly stated they were going into treat bags, yet an employee insisted on placing them on cake paper, despite knowing the icing would smear. This is the first time I’ve had an issue with your store, but the lack of accountability and the unprofessional responses I received were extremely disappointing. I was told it was simply a “human mistake” and that I shouldn’t expect the result to look like the reference image—but that’s exactly why I provided images and placed the order ahead of time. Unfortunately, this experience has left a very negative impression, and I will not be returning. I expected much better, especially for a custom order intended for a special event.

I am extremely happy with the service I received from the first email to payment for a recent baby shower. I placed my order from Arizona. My order consisted of a custom cake along with brownies, cookies and lemon bars. The cake was above my expectations! They asked for a copy of the baby shower invitation and they used the colors and style of the flowers to make a gorgeous cake. The piping and artwork was incredible! The brownies and cookies were very yummy but the star of the shower was definitely the cake. The lemon bars came in a very close second! I recommend this bakery and will definitely use them again. You will not be disappointed. A special thank you to Michelle for taking my order and being so helpful.

When visiting Mobile a trip to Pollman’s is a must! From the notable king cake to macrons to the seasonal pumpkin gooey bars, Bailey really puts the charm in the treats for this Mobile historic stop! Her warm and welcoming demeanor is just the icing on the cake! Always looking forward to trying her new treats and and indulging in the classics! 5/5 stars!

Best bakery in mobile! Employees are always nice and welcoming. Very fast and friendly! I ordered a cake for my office Reagan made sure it was ready and the cake was beautiful. Reagan’s customer service skills are outstanding she is lovely. I will be back again.

My lovely friend Bailey works at Pollman's and she brought an array of goodies for a bridal party I was a part of. The savory scones were DELICIOUS. I had never heard of a savory scone before so I was the first to grab one up. She also brought a few different danishes and they were soo soo good. Huge thank you to Bailey for making and bringing yummy yummy treats for us!

We want to thank Michelle and the employees for helping us with a last min 50th anniversary wedding cake for our mother and father ! We appreciate the extra mile Michelle went to try and replicate there wedding cake 50 years ago thank you again for getting this done on such a short time !

Really disappointed.. ordered fancy flower cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday 3 days before I needed to pick them up from the Old Shell location.. they didn’t place the order. When the ‘baker’ said she would make them up for me, she came out with ‘swirl’ cupcakes that look like a child made them. Not the service or product I anticipated. UPDATE!! I received a call from Pollman’s to apologize and discuss my experience.. very quick response and happily ’made it right’ for me. Thank you!!!

I’ve been gluten-free for over a decade, and now our 6-year-old is too—which makes finding kid-friendly GF food a real challenge. We’re from Florida and were driving to New Orleans when my husband discovered Guncles. He was so excited about it that we planned our overnight stop just so we could eat there—and wow, was it worth it! When I say it was the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had, I’m not exaggerating. We also grabbed some goodies to take with us: the cheddar biscuits (amazing!), the chocolate and spiced fig cake (so delicious), chocolate chip cookies (I want to buy more to give as gifts!), and their regular biscuits—which totally hit the spot. I was so impressed. But beyond the incredible food, the owners and staff were kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s rare to find a place with both outstanding gluten-free treats and such heart behind it. It was so good, we’re actually trying to swing by again today before they close to grab more to take home for ourselves and our friends!

The hospitality at Guncles is next to none! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted so warmly, and that same warmth carried through the entire visit. The cinnamon rolls and cheddar herb biscuits were absolutely outstanding, and the lemon cake, red velvet, and pumpkin cream cookies were all incredible treats. We also brought home a loaf of bread. The flavor was amazing, though it was a bit dense. I’m still on the hunt for that perfectly light and fluffy gluten-free loaf, but this one was still delicious. All in all, an amazing experience with food and service that makes you want to come back again and again (if only I lived in Alabama, thank goodness they ship!).

Delicious! The Chocolate cake was light moist ,and not overly sweeten. The packaging was elegant with a clean presentation .We were at a tasting in Bluff Park .The owner was nice and knowledgeable about gluten free products and baked goods.

As a commercial gluten-free baker, I’m very discerning about GF spots — and Guncles on Government Street absolutely blew me away. I’m from Mobile and had heard from family and friends that I had to visit next time I was home. While in town with my kids for a high school volleyball tournament, we had some time between matches so I drove over to sample their goods. Wow. Their Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookie is possibly the best cookie I’ve ever eaten — not just the best gluten-free cookie, but the best cookie, period. Perfect texture, rich flavor, and just the right balance of chocolate and toffee. The owner-operators are warm and clearly passionate; you can see their work ethic and creativity poured into everything they make. The bakery feels cared-for and the products reflect that pride. If you’re in Mobile and love great baked goods (especially GF), stop by Guncles — you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Omg. For real omg. Prices may seem high, but I have been baking gluten free for years and I can tell you it's expensive and honestly their prices are awesome based on the product. They must have really tested their recipes because again OMG! so good!!! Flavor and texture are spot on it possibly better than normal. It makes me want to move here, so I can come daily. Instead I settled for a bag full of goods. Even my picky mom is impressed and mmming. The quality and deliciousness of the food overshadowed everything else, but it should mentioned that the interior was nice and comfortable and interesting to look at. The lady behind the counter was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. She was also very friendly. Go early because they were running out 3 hours before closing.

Wow. Extremely impressed. My husband surprised me with some treats this weekend for our anniversary and everything is incredible. I just went gluten free this past year and gf or not these are some of the best pastries I’ve had in a LONG time and I’m pretty picky about desserts. Not dense at all, not too sweet, all around wonderful. We tried the cinnamon rolls, mini chocolate cake with vanilla frosting, and the red velvet cookie sandwich. (Not sure of the names since my husband picked them out and I wasn’t there) but everything exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be going back!!

We were visiting family who recommended we check out Guncles and are so glad we did! The variety of treats was impressive (and tasty!) and we left with a loaf of sandwich bread to use for a trip to the beach. The bread was dense, but tasty with a nice open crumb. It toasted extremely well and made a top notch grilled cheese. Our very picky non-GF kids used it to make peanut butter sandwiches that they actually ate, which is about as high a compliment as I can give! The hospitality was nothing short of excellent. The cashier walked us through each item on the menu individually and the baker himself came out and checked to see how we liked the savory cheddar biscuits and cinnamon roll (they’re both a must-try!). We also took whoopie pies with us to go and I honestly can’t believe they’re gluten free - they were flawless. The shop was clean and efficient, but not much seating, so ideally plan to pick up and head to one of the gorgeous parks nearby.

Dropout Bakery is the place that makes every other bakery look like they're just doing homework while these peeps are writing a thesis on flavor. Everything they bake is a full grade above the status quo, a solid A+ in deliciousness every time. What really blows me away is that they come out with a new menu every single week. That's not just baking, that's creative research and development. You can literally taste the thought, effort, and technique that goes into every batch. It's like they've got a team of dessert scientists working overtime in there, fueled by butter and cane sugar I've been cutting out sugar lately, trying to make better choices. But Dropout Bakery is the one exception I happily make. Their treats are just too good to pass up, and you can really taste the care and quality in every bite. And let's be honest, creating a business is not easy. Starting something new and having it actually do well is a serious accomplishment. You can tell the owners put love, care, and a bit of magic into everything they do. Dropout Bakery is proof that when passion meets pastry, everybody wins. The ambience has its own style and uniqueness, it feels collegiate, creative, and laid-back all at once. It's the kind of place that makes you want to stay a bit longer, like a family bbq. If you haven't been, go. Just don't blame me when you start planning your week around their new menu drops. P.S. I love this place

The cutest bakery with unique pastry options in Mobile, AL!🍪🥐🧁 My only complaint about Dropout Bakery is that it’s not closer to me! Atmosphere: The interior and exterior have a very clean aesthetic with white being their primary color, but they spice it up with plants, wall art, neon signs, and pops of pink! Service: The ladies that were working there that day packaged all of our goodies up nicely for us and helped us in choosing the best options from what they had left! Menu items: I got the butter croissant and peanut butter banana cookie! Everything was SO, SO GOOD! The cookie is honestly the best one I’ve ever had (and I love a good cookie)! Their menu consists of croissants, pop tarts, moon pies, cookies, and specialty items—cinnamon rolls, brownies, cake, and more!🌙🥧🍰🧁

This place was delicious. It was a little on the pricier side, but worth it for the quality of the food. They have a cute outdoor seating area. We got a variety of things- croissants, cinnamon rolls, cookies- and loved them all!

Dropout Bakery & Co. has not only the most decadent tasting treats, but they are also stunning and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. With their savvy pop-up located in the downtown area, they have completely taken Mobile, Alabama’s bakery game to new heights. The high quality ingredients are carefully selected from farm to bakery making this an experience to say the least. Every flavor has a story! I highly recommend you stop by and meet sweet Lacey (owner) & Company. You won’t be disappointed!

I spent like 25 bucks on 2 croissants and a cookie. Prices were not listed on anything. The food was good though. But 25 guys let’s be real for like 2 seconds 🙂‍↔️

the cutest bakery with the most AMAZING croissants, buttery and flaky literally perfect. The droptarts, bagels, the cinnamon rolls oh my goodness i can go on. Whenever there is sourdough on the menu you need to get!!!! Try your best to come early because everyone will line up just waiting on the delicious pastries. The workers make you feel welcomed with a smile on their face and lacey, the owner, is a ray of sunshine and you can tell how hard she and everyone works and how much they love serving these pastries. 100/10 will always be my favorite bakery!!!!

The pastries are a bit expensive but were delicious & very pretty. Came in shortly after opening and one person was working the register and was moving very slowly so a long line formed quickly. Prices were not made clear either with nothing being marked with cost. I will say it is not very clear on the location either if you are unfamiliar with the area.

Great baked items that are delish! My fave are the pecan barsI had no idea they served hot lunches. Will have to try next time. Parking can be a bit tricky, but most patrons are in & out.

Went w a friend for a fairly sizable purchase for party cakes which were pretty good. However, the staff wasn’t the typical nice and friendly I’ve found in Mobile. They were rude and disrespectful to an older woman who was slowly working her way through the door, but apparently she didn’t move fast enough for them. So they yelled at her.

Love this neighborhood bakery! They are always so friendly & welcoming. Get the sweet & salty cookies ~ you won’t be disappointed!

The Italian Cream cake was delicious. I will definitely be buying again.

Chicken pasta (frozen )spoil rotten ……I called the store to let them know …spoken with Tammi customer services very awful .. I’ll never eat there again … take your money else where ….

I LOVE Bake My Day! Best chicken salad in town!! Cookies and cakes are scrumptious! Personal favs are the sweet & salty chocolate chip cookie, white chocolate macadamia cookie, Italian Creme cake and the pound cake! Yum!!! It's all very good...literally all of it!

Excellent in every way. Very high standards are evident in this fabulous bakery/ restaurant.

It's a neighborhood donut shop. We went at about 1:30 pm and they were nearly sold out. L made these comments, "Have you ever had an apple fritter that big?" "This filled donut is actually filled!" "I can't believe how good this is (that's a guess cuz she had the thing stuffed in her mouth)." There is no comarison to that chain donut shop. Here whoever makes the donuts LOVES donuts. Thank you.

They did an excellent job with my son’s birthday number 7 donut! I sent them his hand drawn design and they executed it perfectly, just as he wanted. And it was delicious too! Definitely recommend. We’ll be back for sure!

Holy cow, these donuts are amazing. We tried several varieties, including their iconic maple bacon donuts. Heavenly. Also, the apple fritters are the best I have eaten anywhere! Great service, incredible donuts.

We stopped here before getting back on the road for another 8 hours of travel—and what a good start to the morning it was! They had just opened and their selection of donuts was fantastic. The owner helped us and suggested the fresh-from-the-oven pigs in a blanket, which were heavenly. We even got a few more donuts to eat on the road during the rest of our trip! I think what stood out beyond even the fantastic donuts was the kindness with which we were treated. The owner was so friendly and even put a couple of donut holes in our box. Small things like that can really make a person’s day. We’ll be stopping here on our return trip, that’s for sure!!

Always fresh, always friendly, always delicious! Their espresso donut is probably the most phenomenal donut I have ever had the pleasure of eating, but everything in their shop is world class. 10 out of 5 stars

I can't even with these donuts. They're so light and perfect. Seriously the best I've ever eaten in my life. My husband said his maple bacon one was "perfection", and he never says anything like that. If you've never been here before, you're missing out. They're insanely good. Go. Now.

This is an ok Donut store. Their donuts seem freshly made. They are sweet and soft and taste good. The prices are reasonable. I like some donut chains that have more options but the ones I have had here were ok for a nice morning treat. The staff was nice and helpful and fast.

What a great bakery! Lots of selections and daily specials. I saw flavors I haven’t seen before in a bakery. FlourGirls has a pleasant decor. The staff are helpful and friendly. Drop by to enjoy your choice at a table or take home some treats.

I’ve seen this place a bunch, but I never knew it was a bakery, but I finally went and it is so nice inside and they make some delicious cupcakes. I Highly recommend them for your baked goods for a party, although they seem pretty busy so you might want to reserve early to make sure you get what you want, at the time I was there I think they were like a month booked out or something crazy like that. (I’m not sure what you actually call it for a bakery when they’re really busy.)

I Ordered a cake from here for my Nephew's birthday. I was pleased when I picked it up. It was beautiful. The disappointment came when we cut it. The icing tasted salty and the middle of the cake was half icing, half cake. I tried to contact them with pictures.... got no response from them. Not even an apology... will never buy from here again.

I ordered a cookies and creme cake for my son's birthday. It was exactly what I wanted. Flour Girls cakes are always fresh, moist, and delicious.

I purchased a pound cake on Saturday 5/10. I had lemon cream cheese icing added to the cake. They just rushed and put the icing on the cake, at the same time, Not realizing I forgot to tell them to write happy birthday on the cake. I called and they informed that per health department standards once the cake leave, that they can not do anything to the cake. Due to the poor customer service from the young lady at the counter, I told her I just wanted a refund. She advised me that the owner was the only one who can process the refund and that she will be in on Monday. Fast Forward I call to follow up about the situation speaking to the Owner she was nasty as well and I WILL NO LONGER RECOMMEND THE BUSINESS Or SHOP THERE.

So many types of cupcakes! The strawberry shortcake is absolutely wonderful! They have done so many fabulous birthday cakes for me.

This is a good bakery. A friend had a birthday cake from them that was good. I like how the store location has good brownies, cookies, lemon bars, cupcakes and cake slices. The staff is nice and efficient so good place to get baked items although prices are not really low.

These ladies went above and beyond. I gave them a general description of what I wanted and was happy with how beautiful my husband’s cake turned out! This will definitely be our go to bakery, for cakes!

Amazing and delicious are just a couple of words that come to mind when describing my daughter’s birthday cake!!! Again, not only was it gorgeous on the outside, it was also the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted. We submitted a picture to Sally and she made the cake identical to the picture. They were so kind and professional too. We couldn’t be more pleased or thrilled. Absolute perfection!!!! She is our “go-to”baker now. It was a long drive for us, but definitely worth it!!!

Sally was amazing!! I wanted a gender reveal cake and she was able to put me together a sweet cake same day! Made my dreams come true! Not to mention the cake was delicious ❤️

I ordered a specialty cake for my daughter in laws baby shower and it was beautiful, but, as far as taste it was way too sweet. I love icing, but even I couldn't eat it cause it was so sweet. I ended up having to toss the whole bottom part of it cause no one wanted it. I paid over $170 for this cake. I emailed Sally's to tell them about my issue and they didn't even reply,,, they could've at least apologized or offered me a refund of some sort. I'm very dissatisfied. I would not recommend this bakery.

The best cake I have had in many moons, if not ever! There are two ingredients that cannot be measured in the final product: pride and love. This delicious cake was overflowing with both and was sooooo delicious. Top notch, thumbs up, 6 stars out of 5. Extremely satisfied with the cake and more so with the great people that made and decorated it. I couldn’t ask for anything better!

They made a delicious 8” birthday cake for my wife, Jennifer. She really enjoyed the look and taste of the cake. We will use their services again.

Absolutely loved my wedding cake! It was beautiful and delicious! They did an amazing job!

Update: I changed my rating because I placed a pre-order on Sunday for pickup on Wednesday. The pick up window is 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. When I arrived my order was not ready. They told me it would be another 30 minutes because they were baking. They could have text or called to say that the order would not be ready or that it would be delayed. I emailed and called after I left the bakery. I received a email at 7:02 p.m. that I could pick up the items that I ordered the following day. When I called the bakery directly, I left a voicemail and I never received a call back. The Sammies are good the customer service could have been a much better. I see in other reviews that they do text or call when the ordering is delayed, maybe they only do that for regular customers. ********* ellenJay is amazing, just amazing!! I'm not usually in Midtown but today I decided to make a special trip to ellenJay. It's hard to resist this adorable Bakery boutique because customer service is wonderful and the Buttercream Peanut butter Sammies, Lemon Tea Cakes and that Sweet Potato cupcake are out of this world. I decided to get a few things because I'm not on that side of town often and I'm so glad I did. It took me a few days to get through everything and it was definitely worth it. As I entered, I was greeted by a smiling eyes and display case of baked goodness. It was hard for me decide what to order, so I asked to recommendations. I can't remember the lady's name and she had a mask on so it's hard to recognize if she was one of the owners. But she was so very helpful and friendly. She recommended the Sweet Potato cupcake. She said it was a customer favorite and after taking one bite, I know why. Next, the Buttercream Sammy, I chose the Peanut Butter because its.. peanut butter and I love peanut butter. I've had Sammies before but this one is by far the best. The buttercream was light and the cookie was absolutely perfect. It is everything you hope a Peanut Butter cookie would be and so much more. I'm a huge fan of lemon and she said the Tea cake was a moist cookie with a bold lemon flavor and she was right. It was delicious. Check out their website, they offer shipping and curbside pickup. I see a curbside pickup for some cupcakes and a Peanut Butter Sammie, in the not to distant future. See ya there

EllenJay is literally amazing!! They made my wedding cake and dessert bar and it's something that guests still talk about to this day (almost 2 years later)! I'm a wedding photographer as well and EllenJay always does such a great job! I get excited when I see their names on the vendor list because I know I'm in for a treat! HIRE THEM!!!

I bought cookie sandwiches and a cake in a cup. Hands down, the best desserts I have ever tasted. The cookies were amazing and the cake cup was out of this world. I have been getting carrot cake as my birthday cake since I was little, it’s tradition. This year I will be getting their sweet potato cake instead 😋

Such sweet people that work there, and these cookies are literally the best thing you will ever put in your mouth! Nothing compares to these. If you’re a cookie lover like me then you just have to try them.

The best bakery in Mobile/Eastern Shore, best cookies, cookie cakes, tea cakes, cakes, all so good!!! Highly recommend!

First time visiting. Cookies were delicious. Can't wait to order a cake. Jennifer was so sweet and friendly, taking time to show me all the goodies and explaining how ordering online e works. Will be back!

Wanted something special for my son's birthday party, they were perfect.

The cake was absolutely beautiful. My daughter loved the way it looked. The taste…. well I definitely paid for the artistry. Everything in the shop looked delicious so maybe it was just our choices. The cake was the confetti cake and it was super dry. The frosting on the outside was ok, but the frosting between the layers barely had a flavor at all. I will probably try something else in their shop and if other options are good I’d order another cake from them. Otherwise, no.

When I went in a lot of the cupcakes were out of stock; it was well before 1 PM when I went in. Cupcake prices are comparable to other specialty bakeries. The cake itself for the vanilla cupcakes was good but the buttercream icing for mine was a too salty for my taste. The red velvet icing was perfect but the cake itself was dry/was slightly overbaked.

Ordered a cake last week for my Mother’s birthday and picked it up on Friday 1/24/2020. We had the cake that night at a birthday celebration for my Mother. The cake itself was terrible, the only good part was the icing. The cake was extremely dense and was not cooked correctly or was not mixed correctly. This is the second cake we have ordered recently from Simply Sweet that had issues. The first cake was in November for another birthday. We decided to give this bakery a second chance and ordered the cake last week. This will be the last time my family orders from this bakery. When my girlfriend contacted the bakery and spoke with Danielle the owner/manager regarding the problem and quality of the cake, Danielle only offered a credit for half of the cake or some free cupcakes. Danielle didn’t apologize or seem to have any empathy for this situation. I am a business owner and I understand sometimes this don’t go as planned, but I know how to make my customers happy when there is a problem. Danielle doesn’t seem to understand how to resolve a problem with her customers. In summary, there are plenty of bakeries in Mobile with better cakes than Simply Sweet. I would not recommend spending $50 or more on a birthday cake from this place, it’s not worth it.

Absolutely the best around. Made in house, to order and locally the best around. All their items are so fresh and taste amazing!!

Love, Love, Love. I love to stop by for cupcakes and I have ordered Birthday Cakes from Simply Sweet. The staff is great and the cakes are wonderful! They are always open to special request. Could not recommend more.

The absolute BEST customer service!!! I picked up my 3 tiered cake on Friday before closing, and unfortunately, it fell during transportation, and our event was the next day. I was losing my mind because I couldn't fix it! I called them as soon as they opened Saturday morning, and they replaced the cake with 2 cakes and some cupcakes and even decorated them to match my event's theme to where no one even noticed that the replacement cakes weren't the original cake that I ordered! Everyone LOVED them so much and they tasted amazing!!! I'll definitely be ordering from them again. Absolutely amazing bakery!!

Y’all, this bakery is AMAZING!!!! It is most definitely a 5-star business! I’d give it 6 stars if given the option. The business owner, Danielle, and her staff are so friendly, welcoming, and professional. They are PRECIOUS people who work very hard to make sure their bakery is the best around. Any goodies I’ve ever had from Simply Sweet Shoppe have been SUPERB! The cakes are so beautiful and creative...and most of all, delicious! The cookies and cupcakes are always so detailed and beautiful. I would recommend Simply Sweet Shoppe for any special occasion!p

So good!! Let the aftermath be testament to the deliciousness of the meal; we couldn't wait to take a cutesy "before" pic. We had hummus, chicken shawarma, and gyro with side of tomato cucumber salad. I wish we had this shop closer to home.

Ordering was easy from the counter and our food arrived quickly. The quality and taste of the food was top-notch. The dining area was compact and clean, with tables inside and out on the sidewalk. I believe this is a very busy place for the downtown lunch crowd, but you can order ahead for takeout.

Stopped in tonight after going out with some friends. We ordered the chicken funghi and it was absolutely delicious. The guys working are so sweet and chill. They gave us a free same of the orzo pasta. Food was amazing and vibes were high. Definitely recommend!

I found this place when I was walking around Mobile exploring. Really good food and they give you a lot of food for the price. I loved the hummus.

The food never disappoints. I usually go to the one on airport. But I was so happy and pleased the one on dauphin st stays open late, it really was such a wonderful convenience to grab the falafel gyro and hummus with pita bread, my favorite thing to order !!

Had the Hercules sized Redneck Gyro, it was loaded with gyro and conecuh sausage. The sausage and cheese gave it a more smoky taste which just took it over the top. I had the dolmas with it and it was standard and fresh tasting. Definitely recommend that you come here if you’re in Mobile!

Yummy sandwiches, friendly staff, and cool location right in the heart of LoDa. We tried several different sandwiches and sides and were pleased by everything. Great place for people watching, too! I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

First off the vibe in here is cozy and comfortable. The staff is super friendly and even will come to your table to see if you need anything. Such an inviting place and the coffee is fire! They have plenty of options too for vegetarian and vegans and non plant based folks too. Great place to get some work done here. They have plenty of outlets and a good amount of places to sit. Everything I usually need in going to a coffee is found here! Stop by when you get a chance, you won’t regret it!

This coffee shop is a gem! The coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had, and I love that they roast their beans fresh in-house! The space has a warm, welcoming vibe, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier. It’s clear they care about quality and creating a great experience for their customers. Highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!

Great selection of smoothies and scones with a relaxed vibe. The smoothie was filling, though pricey. And the variety of options was nice to see, so plenty to choose from for vegetarians and anyone wanting a creative, substantial smoothie. Also the location is a convenient walk from a lot of places in downtown, though I didn’t see many pedestrians in Mobile. The barista was friendly and gave me the lowdown on the scone recommendations (3 types), and his rec was spot on. Worth a visit if you’re nearby or visiting.

Serda’s Coffee Company is hands down the best coffee shop downtown! The atmosphere is always welcoming, whether you’re stopping in to get some work done, catching up with friends, or just grabbing a quick pick-me-up. Their coffee is consistently fresh, smooth, and full of flavor, but what really makes them stand out for me is their chai—it’s absolutely to die for. Perfectly spiced, creamy, and comforting, it’s easily the best I’ve ever had. On top of that, the staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit feel like a treat. Serda’s is a true gem and the kind of place you’ll want to keep coming back to again and again. COFFEE SO GOOD I DIED!!

I don't drink coffee, but I chose to have breakfast here because I saw smoked salmon bagel on the menu. I haven't had a salmon bagel that I didn't like, until the one I had here. Maybe the bagel wasn't toasted crispy enough, or was it the pickle that was added, or was there too much cream cheese? I'm sure these are positive to some. I finished it, I just can't say that I enjoyed it. I also ordered the fruit smoothie "sunrise" and it was good (5*), but the large one I had cost $7.95 so it's fairly pricey. The place has this cozy, relaxing vibe and I can see that this is a popular place to hang out.

I love Serda’s every time I come! And all these cute upgrades just elevates the vibes. So yum so friendly. Always in my heart!

Traveling through Mobile and stop here for a quick pick me up. It’s a cute little shop and the service was great. The down side was they were out of things that we wanted to order. I ended up going for an ice raspberry coffee… not great didn’t taste anything but regular coffee. My husband got the mango monsoon smoothie. That was good had to substitute the pineapple in the original smoothie for bananas because they were out. Still tasted really good. My husband also got a cinnamon roll. Unfortunately the cinnamon roll was not great. It was hard as a rock. They didn’t even warm it up the frosting that went with the cinnamon roll was fairly good but couldn’t get over eating a rock.

Every order I received was really good. I’ve only had 1 bad experience where they was broken up n 1 experience where they was placed at my doorstep wo notification over at least 10 mins. You can actually follow their steps (door dash) but they have their own driver outside of door dash. They are always hot n fresh. I enjoy them.

A few issues: the cookies are "just" cookies, nothing special. The ice cream, the same. When we got there, we were also told that they were out of pretty much everything. Further, apparently ALL the online orders had to be filled ahead of those in person. This meant if I wanted anything other than a chocolate chip cookie I had to wait. When we asked about the wait we were given a line about needing to full online orders. When asked again they couldn't answer. I don't mind waiting, but how long. Also, the girl at the register must have been the only one working because she was incredibly flustered. The only saving grace was that they were open at 11pm...but I could have saved time, money, and potentially better flavor buying this at a gas station.

I love the energy in the place. The cashier is very welcoming, friendly, hospitable. The building is clean and smells good. The customer service is just great. I recommend 10/10.

Huge shoutout to Jaden at Insomnia Cookies! He had such a great attitude and made the whole experience even sweeter. Super knowledgeable about the menu and helped me find exactly what I was craving. Amazing service—definitely coming back!

Very welcoming, friendly, cleanliness place. I loved the customer service you will not leave without getting what you came for and more. The prices on this place is also very affordable 10/10 recommended.

I love these cookies from here.. they are always on point hot and fresh, the ice cream on top makes it even better

4 because the cookies are SOOO YUMMY AND FRESH !!!! We can easily keep buying from there !! But not sure what’s up with their system and Uber but this time the cookies were supposed to arrive around 2:30 … and got here at 5:30 ishhh I believe around that time… I called the store many times with no one answering, finally she called me back but I didn’t see my phone, called back but again no one answered . I finally decided to contact Ubereats he h end up calling the store and were able to speak to one of the employees and less than 20 mins the cookies were at my door . So yeah that’s the only issue I have… and reading the comments confirm that it happened before : other than that the cookies are delicioussss!!!! I’m coming back maybe just to pick up instead of doing uber.

Food is good and stores helpful people I love the securities. They do good job protecting the store. Keep up the good work 1000 stars for you guys.

Maybe I missed something but the downtown market did not have a deli or bakery. It feels like a food lion complete with security at the door. I went in walked around and left to rush over to the St. Louis market which I can’t recommend enough.

Great little local market with good selection. Really neat and clean. The roof top patio is awesome!

IT WAS GOOD, I'M ALWAYS SHOPPING AT GREER'S DOWNTOWN MARKET, LOVE IT

Lots of good food and respectful people

I will leave my old review (from 3 years ago) below, because I really meant everything I said back then, but since then this place has gone WAY downhill. Still has friendly people working there, but I don't think we'll be going there much if ever, as shopping there is not good anymore. One thing is they seem to have even more than they used to of these portable 'featured item' type racks placed in the isles, which are too narrow already. But the main thing is how bad the meat and produce coolers have gotten. I have a crazy strong sense of smell, so I smell the 'rot' as soon as I walk in the front door nowadays, but when I go with anyone else, they can certainly smell it by the time we get to the back of the store. Now with the fruits and vegetables, it's getting pretty often where the kind we want are all shriveled up or going 'bad' --if the supply of fresh replacement stock hasn't come yet, that's understandable, but dont' just leave the disgusting unsellable pieces in there! And then there's the meat. THAT is the main thing you can smell in the air, the horrible odor of rotten blood and if you don't believe me, see the photo below, inside a meat cooler. I often smell bleach along with the decomposition smell, but whoever is cleaning is only wiping some of the surfaces, obviously not the floors of the coolers, where all the drippings fall to. It has gotten steadily worse in the past year or so. Then there was the day I had a sinus infection and could hardly smell anything. When I went to check out, THANK GOODNESS the cashier lady had my back. She asked if I was sure I wanted to buy the package of raw chicken. I asked why, and she said it smells bad. I picked it up and took a whiff -- GOOD GOD, it smelled like actual POO! And sure enough it was 2 days expired, shouldn't have even been on the sales floor. I mean, don't take chances with CHICKEN, yall. -------------------------------------Old Review Below------------------------------------------ Wonderful staff, good prices and decent selection for the store size. Also they have more cold and frozen items behind glass doors than any other store I've seen. For the minimal inconvenience of having to open them, you get lower prices thanks to the thriftiness of it (imagine your electric bill if your fridge and freezer were always open!). And it's more eco-friendly. Would give five stars but for a couple things: Should stay open til 11 like Winn and Walmart (so we don't have to go to one of those, after 9). Also the meat selection and prices are the BEST in town, but sometimes beef steaks are cut so thin you can't do a good sear with rare center.

First time visiting, wow, just wow ! Clean well stocked, awesome fresh food, indoor and outdoor sitting, roof view also great. This grocery store has so much to offer downtown mobile. Bakery, deli, beer on tap, ice cream, and the service is amazing. And it’s kid friendly…

Found my new go-to coffee shop when visiting Mobile. I grabbed a BEC bagel and coffee on my way to the airport and enjoyed it. Solid coffee, competitive prices and friendly staff - thanks Haley. Eat and Drink Local!

Incredible service! Staff was very personable and super kind. I was in and out in under 5 minutes and the coffee was delicious! Will definitely be back! Thank you to the girls that were working today, I had a bit of a rough morning and they brightened my day so much!

I ordered as you see and it had foam and I asked to be full to the top and this is whet it look like after the foam went down when I opened it at the office, and I asked to please fill to the top, my boss is picky, so when I saw this I had to pour some of mine in his to keep him happy and of course I now have a small amount of coffee but paid for a 16oz keep in mind I never drank out of either just sat down to reheat after getting back to the office , we here stoped going to the other place (SB) just because of this reason and now they are slowing going out of business, I hope you guys are not headed that way with little product in the cup but price are the same or has gotten a little higher, please talk to your people , it kinda makes me think they did it on purpose just because I asked

I honestly don’t know how many locations they have, but if I ever did, I would have all of them saved because their coffees are the absolute best. And the best thing is they actually have a bunch of sugar-free options, which is amazing for anybody that is diabetic or insulin resistant. You really don’t have to worry about how much it’s gonna raise your sugar because if you tell them, they’re gonna go ahead and use sugar-free options. A few of my favorites are the vanilla bean with with three pumps of coconut, coconut cream Matcha, butter, pecan latte, and the plain old white mocha. If you like hot ones, definitely try their Blondie on the beach and you’ll be amazed to know that they actually make a killer pumpkin spice during the autumn. ❤️ hope you find your favorite seasonal and regular flavor because they are worth the shot.

Yellowhammer is my favorite coffee shop and my regular location on Dauphin has an amazing staff! They are all so friendly and even make an effort to remember my name. They go above and beyond for their customers! I have had similar experiences at all locations I’ve been to.

Hands down the best coffee in Mobile. I have probably been a hundred times and I have NEVER had a bad experience. Order is on point, customer service is perfect. Now that they have moved locations on Dauphin St, the drive thru is a breeze compared to what it was at the old location. If you live in Mobile and you are still drinking at Starbucks, what are you doing with your life? I wish they were open on Sundays, but everyone needs a break so I’ll let them slide on that haha

Hands down the BEST coffee in Mobile, AL! I live an hour away and whenever I’m in Mobile, it’s a must stop! My go to fave is sugar free Blondie. I also like the seasonal flavors such as banana bread blondie, French toast, pumpkin pie iced white mocha and the king cake iced white mocha! Service is top notch and all the baristas are friendly. Can’t beat Yellowhammer!

This is very nice locally owned and operated bar and grill. Great for private parties and watching the games. When they're serving food, it's simple but always fresh and delicious. The owner typically brings produce from his farm to serve.

Save your time and money. If this establishment could have less than a star, I would opt for that. Zero customer service, charged $1 FOR A CUP OF WATER (is that even legal?), $10 minimum for card transactions - so in order to get my highly intoxcated friend some water I paid for ten cups of water- and the bartenders were rude and acted more like internet service provider employees than that of the hospitality industry. Never again will this place take a single dollar from me. If you’re the owner, please re-evaluate your staff and your policy.

Was trying to get a beer with the boys as Saturday tradition. Never the less the amount of mud crickets in this establishment was astounding. Seemed as if I couldn’t walk 4 foot without getting hounded for sex. On the other hand two of them left with me so all in all not a bad place

First time visit. Just an old bar, no grill open. Bartender did not seem as though she wanted to be there. No personality at all. Not but a few chairs to sit in other than the at the bar itself. Bathrooms were disgusting, just hold it you have to go. Drinks higher than other bars close by. We'll skip over this place next time.

Let rock bar..... lots of people here

Great pool hall! Great security that makes you feel welcome and safe! The bartender did Awesome too!

PAT'S DOWNTOWN IS 1 OF THE MOST WONDERFUL PLACES I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED HAVING A PARTY OR JUST ENJOYING MYSELF. I'LL ALWAYS BE THANKFUL UNTO MIKE AS WELL AS UNTO HIS ENTIRE STAFF. MARRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL WHO EVER ENTERED INTO. ( PAT'S. DOWNTOWN. )

This store disappointed me when I went to my favorite Krispy Kreme. The service was not welcome, and the donuts were obviously not fresh and poorly made. I went there because I heard rumors that there was a high probability that the hot sign was on, but it was off 😕I went on a weekday around 4:30 p.m., and they said the time they made them was around 11 a.m.It was too bad 😓 of course the quality of the donuts was worst ever I had in Krispy Kreme donuts. Should avoid this place for your favorite Krispy Kreme.

Customer service was good, but the quality of the doughnuts I purchased was HORRIBLE!!!!!!! I paid $30 for a dozen Harry Potter assortment and 2 of the sorting hat doughnuts and got home to try them and OMGosh! Nasty! The doughnuts were extremely dry and shriveled up! They tasted disgusting even the regular glazed that came with the assortment was horrible! I have been to this location numerous times even though I live 40 minutes away (they are the closest ones to me) and have ALWAYS gotten good/fresh doughnuts! I am so disappointed and literally just threw $30 down the drain because they are NOT edible! DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!!

Removed an extremely large commercial dish washer and it went smooth like clockwork. The manager was very helpful. 10 Star operation.

I can only speak to the food quality, as I ordered delivery. I purchased the 24ct assorted doughnut holes, and unfortunately, they were very disappointing. The doughnuts were clearly not fresh — the sprinkles had melted, the flavors were mixed together, and they tasted like they'd been sitting out for quite a while. On top of that, I was shorted and didn’t even receive the full 24 count. This was my first time ordering from this location, and for nearly $20, I expected much better quality. Very disappointing.

Wasn't happy with service today. Happy with the new red donuts. Black girl working in the front had excellent customer service I'll come back and 5 star the experience once they only retain employees as her. The fluffy white girl looked angry as if the donuts is just for her and she was unhappy I planned to order some. She made my drink and served it with an attitude. Looking forward to patronize only places that has smiles and great customer service when I spend my money.

Went here since I was a kid so I like the atmosphere feels nostalgic, I recently ordered the hero assorted for my birthday but the didn't have any wonder woman donuts this would be fine if they had told me before handing it of to me and me driving off with my order only to find out after arriving home. Also dont order the chilled lemonade it's overpriced for what is essentially those frozen lemonade cups you buy at the dollar store.

We ordered 2 boxes of doughnuts. We was only delivered one box. We tried to call the number for the store and no one will answer. We keep having to go to some 1800 number where they won't do anything either. They really need to focus on better customer service and paying attention. A business not answering the phone is very unprofessional. How can you stay in business or tend to customers needs if you don't answer the phone for a customer who is spending money at your establishment? This location need to focus on better customer service. Of course, they do not care as long as they are taking your money and they are making profits. The one customer you don't think matters could be a bridge to stop you from receiving dozens and many orders when the one customer has business partners that does business with you. These companies that treat customers like they don't matter better start thinking of that instead of just not caring.

I received a box of a dozen cookies today! Beautifully packaged with a note in the lid of the packaging Box! These are the best cookies on Earth each one is individually wrapped and labeled and labeled and there was not 1 crumb broken off these cookies in the shipment!!

Stopped with my grandson for a treat. Cookies were good, a little pricey. Nice shop and location. Want to come back and try out the lunch offerings.

The best made from scratch cakes & cookies I have ever eaten. Great affordable lunches & quick Grab-N-Go casseroles to cook at home. Best little bakery in the south!! Keep the South Sweet & Salty, order your cookies today!

The food was very good...but I think it's way overpriced. For me and my Mom we ordered the combo meal...each a pimento cheese on croissant that comes with a bag a of chips and a soda. And a cookie ... I included a very small bowl of taco soup. And a personal size tomato galette....$40.00...not including a tip! And people wonder why consumers get upset about tips.. As good as it was ..we won't be returning.

My husband and I just had the most delightful experience in Bake My Day! The girls at the counter were so pleasant and helpful in describing their different offerings. The sweet and salty cookie was every bit as good as they said! We're not from the Mobile area, but we will surely make a point to stop when we are back! 😋

Today I was disappointed in bake my day.. Usually I love their strawberry cake.. But today it was totally off , the strawberry icing was fresh but the cake was old.. I just ate the icing off because it was the only thing that was good. Hopefully they get back to putting out fresh strawberry cakes daily instead of putting out old cakes to get rid of. 😒

Awesome place. Family got a German chocolate cake from here for my birthday. Blew my mind. Absolutely decadent, soft and moist with the right flavors for a satisfying bite.

The employees don't listen nor do they ask if your order is correct. They didn't even greet me and when I told them what I wanted they looked at me crazy then gave me something fast and when I get back got to the car I realized they gave me mini rolls when I said a classic Cinnamon roll twice. I decided to let it go then I tasted the rolls and they tasted old.

The employees were extremely rude to me, didn’t take my order correctly, and just all over very disrespectful. i will NOT be coming back.

The white gentleman with all the tattoos that works this location was the SWEETEST employee ive gotten there, you can tell he really takes care in his job and the center rolls he made were delicious. Will be back for his service. Thanks!

This is a good place to get sweet bakery treat when shopping at the mall. Their cinnamon pastry items are so good. You can smell the sweet cinnamon when you get close to them. Staff is nice and will get you good items quickly.

The customer service here was amazing. Alaiyah has great people skills as well as a great attitude.

The staff makes everyone feel welcome.

Bad service and they ask for a tip!! I’m sick of every place asking for tips now, this must stop.

Judi did a wonderful job on my daughter's wedding cake. It was absolutely beautiful AND it was the best tasting wedding cake I have ever eaten! You definitely get what you pay for when you use Cakes By Judi. She is AWESOME!!

I used her for both my daughter's first birthdays and my oldest girls second birthday. Each time you could tell the cake was fresh and so moist. And her buttercream is great. Not to sweet and not overpowering. All three cakes were gorgeous. Plus I don't you deal with nicer people. Mrs Judi herself is a doll. If I didn't live so far away, I would still be using her to this day!

Oh I absolutely love Judi! I went in for a wedding cake and groom's cake and this was by far the best place I could have choosen. She sits down and figures everything out for you and with you, and gives you your own tiny cake as a sample of what you choose. Amazing prices as well.

Judi makes the best wedding cakes in the business. If she’s available for your weekend, stop looking and just book her. You will not regret it. She’s also the sweetest lady you’ll ever meet.

Simply the best. I am freaking picky, love cake, and have eaten a whole lot of cake in my life, lol. I have never tasted better. We live far away now but in the 13 years since Ms. Judi made my wedding cake we get down here as often as possible with an excuse to celebrate: birthdays, christenings, anniversaries: never disappointed. Get the raspberry filling, btw!!

Mrs. Judi made our wedding cake and grooms cake for our wedding. There was not one piece left and my wedding cake served 250. So delicious!!! She is so sweet and I would recommend her to everyone!!

Ordered a grooms cake and it looked and tasted perfect! Only probably was we asked for chocolate coverd strawberries around bottom of cake and when the grooms grandmother picked it up on the day of the wedding she was very upset to not see any strawberries...

Yummy prefer the one in Saraland Alabama for a party order the folks are alot friendlier and eager to help.

Their treats are delicious especially the brownies. However, I would suggest they edit their closing hours. It says 9:00pm on Google however they start shutting down around 7 just like the other stores in BelAir mall.

Thank you so much cookie cake was amazing.

Super friendly to my boyfriend, very rude to me. Gave him a freebie, ignored me so I ate it in front of her. Look on her face was priceless. Rude employees.

They always have flies and gnats flying around and landing on the cookies and do nothing about it. Never have enough cookies to stay stocked, and most are burnt.

I always got my Uncle's birthday cakes from here! Best cookie cakes ever, and cookies for that matter!

They designed the cake beautifully and even sent a congratulations card. So awesome :)

Asked for almond pretzel 🥨 and told the cashier they were burnt and told me that’s how they look I disagree didn’t even give me the pretzel I asked for. The lies and deceit. Couldn’t even eat it. A waste of money. I thought the customer always came first!

Just lazy! Went for a pepperoni pretzel and they just straight up said they don’t t have any! Usually they say it would take a few minutes to get it done.. but they were too busy with no customers.. talking to this other guy.. If the white gentleman (manager i guess) didn’t ask them to ring me up and make it and it would only take a few minutes.. they would have just kept flirting with the guy that was previously there! And just like magic an old pepperoni pretzel was given to me.. just Horrible! The manager walked away.. but if you are reading this… these people need to be retrained or …….!!!!!

There was a hair baked into one of my pretzel nuggets, so that ruined it for me. Would have gone back for a refund but I had already gotten home at that point so I just didn’t bother. But… yeah… probably won’t visit again after that.

This is really my first bad experience at this place. I got my usual which is a newer drink. They switch up from time to time. It’s the the new dragon fruit frost. The guy asked did I want whip cream I said yes. Soon as I drunk it I only tasted whipped cream. I gave it a stir nothing different. He asked what’s wrong I said I only taste whipped cream, he said I’m the first to complain. I asked for more juice he said no because I insulted him. .I said how? He couldn’t tell me, then he said no refunds and to contact HR. For the fact I felt he was rude, petty and unprofessional. For it to be with a so called General Manager Julien Paris completely disgusted at his behavior and professionalism. He has no professionalism. A simple fix turned into mocking, aggressive hand gestures, and absurd tone. I could tell by his behavior he was much younger so all he got from me was a smirk. I do plan on calling head quarters Monday morning to get this rectified. I hate my experience today was this bad.

This is a good place to get fresh tasty pretzels when shopping at the mall. It can be very popular so you may have to wait in line before getting your pretzel items. I like regular pretzels and little hot dogs wrapped in pretzels. Staff is nice and clean and efficient here.

The same picture that “born tee” posted of those guys were the same guys I had a bad experience with mostly the tall guy, I got a sweet almond pretzel I ordered at 12:13 online and I came to pick it up at 12:28 and they hadn’t even started my order. So I said I’d come back and I came back at 12:40 and as im walking back to my stir I open my bag and my pretzel is burned and it didn’t look the way it would usually and I knew if I had to wait til later to eat it, it would’ve been to hard so I came back and told them that it was burned and I was going to ask if they could remake it but the tall guy got an attitude immediately and told me that he had just made it he touched it and said it was soft and i said it’s burned though and he proceeded to have an attitude and asked me if I just wanted my money back I said that was fine with me. I work in the mall and I won’t be going back to that auntie Anne’s again they need to learn better customer service skills and how to talk to customers in certain situations.

When I finally got my 4 measly pretzels, which I was told would be 7 minutes fresh out of the oven, it ended up being 30-45 minutes, 2 of the 4 pretzels were cold. Now for that long of a wait all 4 pretzels should've been piping hot. I won't ever return to this Auntie Anne's ever again as long as this crew is working here. I've never had any problems with this location until today.

Food quality and customer service was horrible. They even refused to give me a refund for the burnt food. Don't waste your time with the Walmart location. It has gone downhill.

Use to be a good place to grab a quick pretzel, but the service as of now stinks. I stood at the counter for several minutes waiting to be served. Two employees were able to see me, one was playing with a rag (I’m sure she would say that she’s cleaning, but that was not a very good attempt at cleaning from what I) and another one just a little bit further in the back on her phone. They both could easily see me standing there, but I guess sales are not that important to them. Kind of crazy because there was a whole lot of pretzels, sitting in the warmer, and a whole lot of dough sitting on the counter, so you think that they would want to exchange some of that for some money. Oh well, I’ll go get a snack at home and save a few dollars this way.

Overall this is a good place. You come you know what your getting out of it. Some of the items are a little old but not to where it is bad or will make you sick. I mean old as in baked and prepared early and sits there all day. No complaints here

They serve delicious pretzels they have a lot of different flavors when. I get a chance I usually stop by and grab a pretzel.

This Auntie Ann’s location is awesome , Very friendly and best customer service Iv had in a long time . Pretzels were fresh and delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back . Thank you

Outstanding service!! 👏👏 I got the mini pretzel dogs, they're delicious!!! I did have to wait for them to make them fresh but soooo worth the wait!! Amazing customer service!!! Will be back again!!🥰🥰 💗 They're just genuinely nice people here!!💗

Went in there asked the girl was the pretzels fresh because they were sitting in the warmer bagged up she said yes no longer than 15 or 20 minutes. Got to the car opened the bag they were burnt to a crisp threw half of it to the birds couldn't chew it. I went back in and told her the 2 rude young girls working there said they would make another I walked off and came back the other girl said I can't give you one you ate half of it i didn't I threw it in the parking lot it was clearly not edible to eat. I asked to speak to the mng she said its me very rude horrible customer service.
