This place is extremely good. The pastries are delicious. I was in the area for work so used this place to hang out. Good food and atmosphere. Free wi-fi. From what I gather people come from far away just to eat here. People were lined up on the porch Sunday morning waiting for the place to open. read more

Sorry but for how much business this place gets, they could do a lot better. I ordered an iced coffee, and not only did they forget about it but after a reminder, it was served in a hot coffee cup with a to-go lid and everything... I get it, it's hot and you want your iced coffee cold forever but it's just so cheap looking. The coffee was good though, sourced from Carpe Diem in Mobile (check them out). I also ordered a croissant and wasn't asked if I wanted it toasted, or if I wanted any jam/butter with it. I'm sure the cinnamon rolls is where it's at read more

Awesome bakery, if you are ever on Dauphin Island stop by for their wonderful pastries.

This is a great place on Dauphin Island. we went on a Sunday morning and had a cinnamon roll with pecans, a delicious breakfast casserole and a crab meat omelette (omlettes are only available on Sundays). The cinnamon roll was decadent and loaded with sugared pecans. It was huge too, the man who worked there said we'd be nibbling on it til lunch. Nope ate it all real quick. The breakfast casserole was the best part of my morning there. They were about a size of a hamburger bun and were stuffed with eggs, cheese, veggies and various meats. So good! The crabmeat omelette was ok, I really dont like crab meat too much but my bf (who loves the stuff) said it was good but just a weird taste. In hindsight I wish we would of gone for the sausage omelette because they looked amazing. When we went on a Sunday morning the line was out the door but we got served pretty quickly and had a great time eating out on the porch. read more

Long wait at the counter to place my order (about 25 minutes of standing in line) but the food was worth it. Highly recommend the cinnamon rolls. I also had a bran muffin, which was light and delicious, and a turkey sandwich. The turkey sandwich was fresh and on homemade bread. The dining area is full of individual kitchen dining tables and chairs sets, giving the whole place a cute and quirky feel. I'm hoping to come back one more time while we're here. Great place! read more

Yummy! Just stopped in for breakfast and it was delicious. I had the best peach cream cheese danish I have ever had. Looking in the case I expected to danishes to be super sweet but they weren't. They were well balanced and soft. You must try the bacon twist also. Staff is super sweet and helpful! Cappuccino was good hot and just the right amount of sweetness. We'll definitely be back here. read more

We came here for the cinnamon rolls but I when I saw the cheese danishes I had to try them too. The peach cream cheese danish will be on my "must have" list the next time I'm on the island. So delicious! read more

Well the pictures looked good, but no food! We went down to the bakery around 10:00 am (give or take 5 minutes) and the place was empty. All they had to offer was sandwiches. Kinda thought some pastries are good to eat throughout the day. Not sure what was going on... read more

We stood in line for maybe 20 minutes, ordered and had our rolls in less than 5 minutes. They were sold out of the peach danish but the strawberry was very good. The cinnamon rolls are amazing! Worth the wait' read more

Great spot for breakfast pastries! We went about 2 hours after they opened and the muffins were already sold out. Bought Sausage/Egg/Cheese Croissants, Cinnamon Rolls and Bacon Wraps. Everything was great. Service was awesome. Definitely going back! read more

Everyone loves the bakery... Mainly because it's the only one on the island!!! They use the same dough for just about everything... except for donuts...which they don't sell!!! You can get a piece of bacon wrapped in dough, a small piece of sausage wrapped in dough, Danish..same dough!Lunch... Very little meat on a huge roll...same dough. It would be one thing if the bread was delishious, but it has zero flavor... Better rolls at Walmart... make your own!!! On a positive note.. their turnovers are fabulous! read more

Loved this place!!! The shop was quaint with plenty of seating. Coffee was good and hot. The bakery had a nice selection of menu items. The blueberry turnovers were great. Bacon twist and pigs in a blanket were yummy. I didn't try the chocolate chip roll but I wish that I had! There is always next time! read more

Lighthouse Bakery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dauphin Island, Alabama

Overall I think this is a good little local bakery. The variety is limited and can only speak for the breakfast items but the cinnamon rolls were great. My 12 year old son wasn't impressed with the pigs in a blanket because of the mass amount of bread to tiny sausage. Great and friendly staff! read more

Great local spot on the island. Breakfast selection is Danish, turnovers and mega cinnamon rolls and coffees galore. It is the islands version of a coffee house with a great bakery. Awesome service and food. You can order fresh rolls for the next day and they will have hem ready for you. Love the local feel and hospitality and the food is great. My kids love the cinnamon rolls and can't get enough. read more

I was so happy to find this delightful little spot while vacationing in the island. Thank you for everything.

I love this bakery and make at least one stop every time I vacation on the island ... usually after a long run so I feel justified ingesting all that deliciousness!! The cinnamon rolls are very cinnamony and totally share-able. The croissants are also giant-sized. If you're looking for something a little less sweet and/or buttery, there is generally at least one kind of muffin on offer. I'm sure it's not exactly health food, but it's not covered in icing or made from butter pastry. So far I've stuck to the baked goods (and they've stuck to me!) but I would like to try some items from the lunch menu, as well. The service here has never been anything less than friendly and helpful. Moreover, during the course of repeated visits I've come to appreciate that the quality of the baked goods is consistent each time. So happy to find this spot on Dauphin Island!! read more

This place is amazing, every time we come to the island we always eat here. Great food and even better people

Cinnamon rolls are good, but a bit on the sweet side for us. The turnovers were very flaky and delicious. The cream cheese danish was good as well. read more

Wow I can't say enough about this Amazing place!!!!! Best pastries I ever had and let me tell you I know pastries!! Its my favorite treat. And Oh my and the little house SOOOOO cute!!!! , The people are super nice and I'm not the only one that loves this place it was packed out this morning, unfortunately I dint get a chance to try out their breakfast nor lunch as we just found the place on our way back home from vacationing there at the Island .I HIGHLY recommend you try it out. I will go back next year!!!!!! I wonder if you can place an order and have it shipped now that would be heavenly. If you are reading this and do so let me know read more

Long time local bakery just off the main road coming into Dauphin Island. Family run with the German history that is obvious in their baking. Delicious pastries,massive cinnamon rolls, relaxing vibe with plenty of souvenirs to take home. We will definitely be back! read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. We have been coming here for years , and it parallels to no other bakery I've ever been to. The breakfast casseroles are *stellar*, and the the rest of Mary's baked goods are also incredible (I recommend the pigs in a blanket and the bran muffins - if you like decadent cinnamon rolls go for those too). Finally, be sure to visit on Sunday to try the crabmeat omelet. It is by far the most delicious I've ever tasted. Everything at the Lighthouse Bakery is made from scratch. Get there early so you don't miss out on the best options - these goodies go fast!! read more

Absolutely delicious! Great customer service. Friendly staff. Bakery food has great variety.

10/10 would recommend! You have to come here when visiting the island! Such a cute, family owned, business! Came in for a frape,smoothies,Cream Cheese Danish,and a huge cinnamon roll! All were to die for! While we were waiting, a man (who I assume was the grandpa), came out with the baby of the business! Really made you feel at home! read more

Oh my! I can't say enough good about this little island find! The best best best cinnamon rolls I have ever had! Many items to choose from but I can't resist those rolls. Clean, friendly and very busy. The prices are under what she could charge (2.75) (rolls) for such great food. A daily must for visiting the island!!! read more

The Lighthouse Bakery did not disappoint! I thought the danish had an awful lot of icing, only to discover it was cheese filling! Never had a better danish! We also enjoyed the cinnamon rolls. read more

Best cinnamon roll ever! Bacon twists are amazing as well!!! Will definitely be back!

I was disappointed to wait 45 minutes in line today. The women working were very kind and cheerful but it was so very slow just to order pastries and take them home. Also, although mask and distancing policies are posted, there is no enforcement unfortunately and the 45 minutes was spent mostly crowded in the front room with approx 15-20 patrons. read more

Stopped in for lunch, good sandwiches on great homemade bread. The chocolate chip pecan cookies are the bomb. Have to come back for breakfast. read more

Stopped in after church, a quaint little bakery/sandwich place. I wasn't thinking correctly, but when I ordered I wish the young lady or the ordering board said you could swap out the regular sub bun with a crescent, but all in all good service! We were with my niece (3) and she dumped out my nephews chips, so when the lady delivered their sandwiches she offered him a new bag, so nice! And if you enjoy the very casual older/chic atmosphere, which I enjoyed, this is a great place to get lunch or breakfast on the island! I'll be back read more

Food is excellent - the cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls are massive. Everything is homemade and yummy! Service is good considering it's very popular but they are organized and write everything down with your name on it. read more

Such a nice little bakery/ sandwich shop/ coffee shop. Surprised at the selections. We got a sandwich and it was huge! It was a little busy when we got there and still got our food in a timely manner. I also like that they have outdoor seating available. read more

Amazing bakery treats! We basically ordered one of everything and could not decide what was the best! I recommend trying everything. The bread and baked goods are unbelievably fresh and you can just taste how homemade they are. read more

This is breakfast nirvana. Be it sweet or savory, you can find it here. And the staff is simply amazing. Artisans and very courteous. The menu changes up so if you go in with getting something particular in mind you might be disappointed. But the variety is part of the charm of this place. This is hands down the best breakfast on Dauphin Island. Some douche nozzle said he wished they served hotdogs and gave them a pretty poor review. For him, he can eat at the Ship and Shore across the street.......... read more

Great food, great coffee. Ordering/waiting/paying system needs a bit of organization.

Loved the peacefulness, if you visit Dauphin Island make sure to go here!! Try the bacon twist bread they are delicious!!!

I drove down to DI for the afternoon and was looking for something to eat that wasn't a sit down meal or gas station food. I saw the "Bakery open" sign on the main road around 1:30 and decided to check it out (I didn't know this place existed. Thank goodness for the sign or I would have missed it) I got the chicken salad croissant with potato salad. It was very good. The employees were friendly and it was a neat building. Next time I'm on the island I'll make sure to stop in. read more

Other reviews are spot on! This place is amazing! I'll be eating breakfast here every morning I'm on the island. Food is made from scratch and delicious. Arrived at 8:50 on Sunday (they open at 9) and there was a line; however, there was plenty of staff on hand and I had my to-go order by 9:20. read more

We are from Los Angeles and (this part I'm not totally proud of) but a bit snobby about food when we travel. When you live in LA, it's hard to find food that impresses you... anyway, this bakery is great. We went twice, Sunday morning was crowded but worth the wait. Homemade omelettes on Sundays only (crab and shrimp), various kinds of cinnamon rolls, homemade danish's, bacon bread, and chocolate chip cookies are what we tried. Came here again on a Friday just before closing and they had a rush five minutes before closing time. Come give it a try, the people are nice and you will try something tasty. read more
