It's soft and flakey and filled with almond filling. I enjoy their lattes, they are definitely not the sweetest so I'd recommend asking for extra syrup if you like yours sweet. They heat up your pastries and bring your food to you when it's ready. The perfect spot to study or catch up with a friend over drinks and a sweet treat!

What a charming bakery/coffee shop in a super cute almost European nook in town. If you're…read morevisiting, I definitely recommend taking a drive to this area. Progressive area - Seems to be... There wasn't line when we got there but the crowd usually follows us for some reason so by the time we left there was standing room only and a line out the door. The bakery items were very fresh and tasty. I loved the Swedish gingerbread cookies - light and crisp. The lemon bar was delicious. They also have sandwiches that liked really good. Coffee - I got a vanilla latte extra sweet (no lavender) and my daughter said it was one of the best. I thought it was pretty good. I would go again when back in Birmingham!

I love Chez Lu lu, but get no pleasant feelings about the bakery…read more I love many good things they make, but they seem to get so much pleasure in making us jump through so many hoops Here too early, here too late, minimum orders, maximum orders. You must see the love in my eyes, why not be a little kinder and appreciate that we love what you proffer. We are not the enemy, we celebrate you. I'll keep trying, especially to just acquire a slice or three of coconut cake, I can't eat the whole thing.

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.

Both times I got the seasonal 'matchu peachu,' a peach flavored iced matcha. it was fantastic and the perfect drink for the summer heat. There is usually a line out the door and nearly all the seating full on weekends. I imagine it's much quieter on weekdays, and you could certainly sit here and do some work. There is some outdoor seating, too. The have some Ladybird tacos and a few pastries available, I believe from Last Call. Speaking of, Last Call is two doors down, and makes fantastic pastries.

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.

Irondale is a bit of a drive for me, but I have really been wanting to try the trending fruit…read morepastries that I've seen online. My two sons and I drove over to Sunshine's bakery this morning and I must admit-- it was worth the drive. We started out with three of the mango pastries and two ham and cheese croissants. The mango pastries were very good. The inside was kind of like a pudding/mousse and it did have real mangoes as well. My husband wasn't able to come with us so I picked up two more fruit pastries, another mango and the pear one. Even with it being a drive, I can see myself coming out here again. Oh, and the employees inside were very, very nice and hospitable. One of the employees, I believe may be the owner, came outside when we were eating and asked us how we liked everything and even asked for any feedback on how to make things better. You can't ask for better service than that!

Went a little later in the day, but they still had many options to choose from along with some of the biggest croissants I've ever seen in my life. I had to resist from grabbing one of everything. I ended up getting the mango and apple entrement. They did not disappoint. The fruit in the middle took it to another level. I will definitely be back to try their biscoff coffee drink they have along with another sweet treat!
