    Edgar's Strawberry Cake
    Vicki B.

    I just went to the bakery here to pick up a strawberry cake for my niece's-college graduation event. I told her mom that Edgar's had an excellent strawberry cake and she said that was my nieces favorite. The baker was very helpful and showed me the cake to verify everything was correct. Super nice. The cake was a hit! I had forgotten the cake had a cream cheese strawberry frosting as well. It is a very rich cake... a little goes a long way! There were a-lot of people in there for lunch. The restaurant stays really busy.

    My sweet family surprised me with one of Edgar's famous strawberry cakes. It was delicious and well worth the accolades it receives. Second best only to my Mama's.

    Edgar's Bakery is located in the Colonnade off Hwy 280 at 3407 Colonnade Parkway Birmingham, AL 35243 Today I ordered two pound cakes, one strawberry and one marble. I also ordered one slice of strawberry cake. The service was welcoming with a smile and all of my questions were answered. The Ambiance was quiet since I was the only customer in the bakery at 7:00 AM. I have enjoyed eating at this bakery for years and I recommend everything. It was the strawberry cake for me, extremely delicious and mouthwatering.

    This was a ok experience but we will not come again. It started with a cashier not very friendly and it really didn't improve. I got a grit bowl where the bell peppers were raw -not cooked and the cheese was not melted . My husband Got a Orange cinnamon roll which had a good flavor and pretty big. He got a monte cristo which sadly was small and the potatoes had very little seasoning. My son got a croissant egg/cheese/sausage he ate most of it so I'm assuming he was ok with it. We got a quiche . The taste was good but the crust was soggy. I also looked at a few things to buy but the prices are way too high! Me and my husband was not impressed!!

    Really wanted to like this bakery, the merch at the front and the whimsical window displays were nice, but I did noticed a lot of un-bussed tables while I was here. I only intended to get a snack but they had warm pecan rolls and orange rolls. I went with the orange roll and a latte, decent but maybe I just missed a huge lunch rush and they were still recovering. The staffers were friendly but few and far between, maybe that's why the tables were not addressed. There was someone placing a cake order as well as the normal line for ordering. I wished there was a trash can that you could bus your own table with but I could not locate one. when I left the majority of the tables had plates and things that needed to be picked up. Traffic and the tables are a good sign that this is a decent spot, I must have just come at the wrong time.

    Nice place to stop for a treat. Like the proverbial kid in a candy store, it's always fun to stand at the bakery case and find something special. Today we got a couple petit fors and sugar cookies. The cookies were pretty good, and cute, but I'll be honest--these are not my favorites. There are lots of "boutique" cookie places that specialize in just cookies, and have a firmer, denser cookie, and a thinker, more opaque royal icing. This icing was a little more sugary tasting with a more translucent icing. Still cute, and certainly hit the spot that day.

    I've used Edgar's for all of my confectionary needs for the last few years. Their strawberry and caramel cakes are unmatched. The strawberry cake is so moist and has the perfect amount of fresh strawberries throughout. I swear it's as if they have a kitchen full of grandma's trapped in the kitchen baking all day, lol. And let's not even talk abut their loaf cakes. The chocolate and caramel apple loaf cakes will have you committing the sin of gluttony until you have eaten every last crumb. Their lemon cake is sweet, but with the perfect hint of tart lemony goodness. And their petit fours, oh man another chance to commit gluttony. I love getting all of the flavors and sitting done and savoring every last one. Don't judge me, I love sweets I've used several of their locations and service quality of the product never changes. The staff are always kind and cheerful and the cakes are always fresh. The quality of the staff can be the driving force behind repeat customers and I can honestly say that they care about there business and their customers. It's also a treat just to go in, they sale a variety of knock knacks that are sure to peak your interest from coffee cups to aprons. I'm constantly trying to convince myself that I don't need another coffee cup, kitchen towel, apron, or wine glass.

    Birthday cake!! Beautiful

    Beautiful place but subpar pastries. Macaroons were mushy and cake overly moist. Gorgeous presentation, just in need of better textures.

The flavor was definitely there, which I appreciated, but the crust was a little tough. I also grabbed a couple of brownies. They were good, but I was disappointed by the presentation, tightly wrapped and squeezed into plastic wrap. I came to Alabama expecting Southern bakery quality, Southern prices, and Southern hospitality. Instead, the brownies gave me a middle of the road presentation at Jersey prices. Would I go back? Now that's the question. I would give the pecan pie another chance, but hopefully with a crust that is a little more cooperative.

Genuinely had a top 5 cortado here, the flavors are super unique - there seems to be some Asian influence to their flavors? Love that they use minor figures as well. The guy taking my order was so kind and friendly, inside was clean and inviting and the bathroom smelled incredible lolllll. Check this place out!

    Came here after reading reviews…read more I'll start by saying the staff were decent enough. Not super friendly but not rude. Just there. I ordered an iced americano given it was a hot day around noon. I got my drink and went to add creamer and sweetener like I always do. And bam that's when I noticed this place was one of those we are going to force you to have what we believe is healthier for you. What do I mean. No Splenda no equal just that nasty truvia. I'm diabetic so I don't use sugar and truvia is just nasty. It tastes horrible and makes your drink taste horrible. Now mind you they will use all kinds of syrups with dyes and additives and sugars but nope not Splenda. That's bad for you. The 50 grams of sugar in a single vanilla latte is totally fine. We're ok with that even though that alone is over the recommended amount. But Splenda no we can't allow that. Will never be back.
