    Breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, and cheese)
    Caitlin S.

    10/10 would eat this every morning if humanly possible. The sourdough is fresh and absolutely delicious....that perfect tang and chew you rarely find. Paired with crispy bacon and a perfectly cooked egg, this sandwich is legitimately flawless!

    Breadworks is one of those rare bakeries that feels both thoughtfully designed and deeply authentic. The space itself is beautiful--clean, intentional, and unique--with visual nods to milling and baking traditions. You can see elements of the mill and wheat motifs in the background, which adds a quiet sense of craftsmanship and history without feeling staged. The pastries are exceptional. Their croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, the sourdough is deeply flavorful, and the morning buns strike that ideal balance of richness and warmth. The baguette is crisp on the outside, tender inside--everything you want it to be. Every item feels carefully made, never rushed. What stands out most is the consistency and care. Breadworks manages to feel elevated yet welcoming--refined without being pretentious. It's clear they take pride in both their craft and their process, and it shows in every bite. A true standout in Birmingham and absolutely worth returning to.

    Stopped in while I was waiting for my car in the shop down the road. I was pleasantly surprised! The interior is casual, comfortable, and expansive. I went with the grilled cheese and tomato soup which was great. A good classic that was done well. I also got a seasonal latte that was chefs kiss ‍ I will be back to try the baked goods and bread, of course.

    Pizza pie for the win today! Margherita is unbelievably delicious with huge slices of tomato, flavorful sauce, just the right amount of cheese and basil. Fancy pork belly with pineapple pizza was also tasty (but I mainly eat veggies). They took my order right away and brought it out quickly. It was nice and quiet and cool. Soft music playing. OH. AND. They now accept GLASS recycling!

    Chicken pesto , Gouda , and tomato pizza slice and berry green salad (I think ). So good

    Why do I not come here more?! I always ask myself this everytime I leave BB!! It's great! My recent visit was quite enjoyable. I had their pizza lunch special $9 for two slices of yummy pizza. I loooooved the sloss furnace sausage so bad! It has conecuh sausage on it and it was fantastic! I also had a veggie slice, it was fine but me & my tastebuds enjoyed sloss furnace sausage best. Goodness! I had water to drink and eventually a latte since I stuck around to do a little work. They also have a few wines and beers to enjoy. The back section I was sitting in was a little cold but the main seating area is really warm & comfortable. I do wish they had more electrical plugs in the main seating area for those that are working on a laptop. Parking during the week WILL be a problem. Just telling you! I eventually found a free 2 hour spot. Be patient if plan to visit during the week but it's definitely worth circling the block a few times.

    Stopped by here with some friends for some Lunch. What a treat!! I usually stop by and grab breads, but their lunch is worth grabbing. Their sandwiches and pizzas are delish!! They usually have different pizzas each day. So check their website menu to check the specials. My phone died and I couldn't grab a menu pic. My favorite is the pesto chicken pizza. I also love the Alabama Bird sandwich. Additionally, they have good tomato soup and grilled cheese. They also serve breakfast and their pepper Parmesan bread is always a hit. Don't sleep on the pastries and the cappuccinos, as they are both great! Stop there for a nice treat. You won't be disappointed.

    The menu and board including sides

    We have been several times in the past and it was a good place Today the Manager tried to charge us for the sides that were clearly included in the menu and in the board. It was not any sign or indication in contrary. He did not wanted to honor the sign.

    I see many local restaurants and coffee shops carry bread and other baked goods from bhm Breadworks but I'd never been to their actual establishment. It's spacious with ample indoor and outdoor seating, although parking can sometimes pose an annoyance. I was actually surprised by the limited number of fresh baked goods they had available--only about 5 or 6 choices, but maybe that's because I envisioned a spread. They did have the same number of loaves to purchase and I went around lunchtime so maybe many of the items were already gone. I opted to have lunch, so I ordered the Ham and Gruyere sandwich (added onions of course) and switched the popcorn for the tomato soup. The sandwich was delicious and they don't skim on the meat. The sourdough bread was toasted and had a great combination of crunch with softness. I was let down by the soup. Quite bland. I also thought that the tables could use some cleaning, perhaps a once over. If I'm in the area, I would definitely stop by again although I probably wouldn't go out of my way. I'll just stick to buying their baked goods from other businesses that are closer.

    Roly Poly Sandwiches

    Great range of options for both cold and hot pressed sandwiches. The ingredients tasted fresh! I…read moregot the Hot Honey Pressed Roll (hot), and it was great. I like that you can get either a half or a whole pressed sandwich! Very casual atmosphere. Everything was clean. If they're busy, you may have ~10 minute wait, but not too bad.

    The first time we ate at a Roly Poly franchise was in Seaside, Florida in the early 2000s while on…read morevacation. While none of them have tasted quite as good since then (something about working up an appetite on the beach?), we still really enjoy a rare opportunity to eat at one. I knew we would be ready for lunch after a morning at a local museum, so I had researched possible venues earlier that morning. I showed my wife a short list and she immediately gravitated to Roly Poly. That would have been my first choice too. This one (the last one remaining in Birmingham, apparently) is in the Homewood neighborhood / area. It is located on a busy street with shops and plazas lining both sides. These look like they were built no later than 1950 but have evolved and been renovated as new tenants cycled through. We did angled parking on the street out front, but there may be better / easier parking on surrounding side streets. The only issue we had was backing out into traffic when we left; it took a few minutes for a gap. You enter and order at the counter. They have menus available there for you to check out. They have a rack of chips available, plus maybe other sides? I didn't look beyond the chips. You then sit down and wait for your order. I guess they have call-ahead too. Seating is along the wall to the right as you enter. There is a long bench the length of the wall with separate 4-person tables spaced along it, with 2 additional chairs each. Our order seemed to take a while, but it may have just been what we ordered (hot sandwich) versus other simpler orders getting filled faster. I got the French Twist, which is my favorite. I only got a regular and not a large, but I think I could have finished a large. My wife got something else, chicken-based I think. We both enjoyed this a lot. If I lived in the area, I'd probably stop in here semi-regularly.
