Continental Bakery

I have been coming to this bakery for the past 5 years and every time I visit, I am blown away by the variety of bakery items, the beautiful decor and care that is put into everything they make. They make wonderful seasonal drinks too! During the colder months they usually have a mushroom danish that is to die for. …

I was in Birmingham on a work trip and heard about the elfin cottage on the hill that made the most sublime pastries.... so I took an Uber from downtown. Driving through the idealic neighborhood was a prelude to the experience that is the Continental Bakery. The bakery is a house with trees growing on the front that really makes …

Very clean and welcoming employees waved at me at the door. Super comfortable atmosphere with sweets, breads, cheeses and sandwiches as far as I can see. Everything looked fresh even though I came in the afternoon. Very nice bakery perfect for the scenery here at Mountain Brook. It was like a bakery shop in Europe. Definitely brought back some memories …

Excellent for both sweet and savoury. Highkey recommend the Pot de Crème and the mushroom galette. Very open, helpful, and supportive staff Good vegan and vegetarian options.

I was raised in Europe and was so excited to get some good bread and croissants that reminded me of growing up there. The sourdough bread met all of my expectations, and took me back to my childhood memories. The almond and Nutella croissants were amazing, and much better than what we had on our recent travels to Europe (at …

Continental Bakery is a gem! The pastries taste fresh and homemade, and the bread is some of the best I’ve ever had. The place has a warm, European-style atmosphere and the staff is welcoming and friendly. Great spot to relax with coffee and a sweet treat. I will definitely be coming back again.

After reading all the negative reviews on this place, I was hesitant on visiting but SO glad we did!!! People are miserable and always looking for something to complain about. The coffee and pastries were absolutely delicious. And the vibe in there is perfect. Could the staff have been nicer? Sure? I guess? But we all can. The man that …

I love this place so so much. It has the coolest atmosphere. It has a European type vibe and it's extremely cozy. They have coffee and the BEST baked goods. We got coffee, a lemon bar, and a strawberry cheesecake croissant. It was very good. I will say, my pastry wasn't warmed, but I didn't ask and it was still …

Oh wow, what a spectacular Bakery in the gorgeous Old English District. Sit on the sidewalk or take a gorgeous walk with your bakery treat and coffee/tea. Shortbread cookies, artist breads, cakes, pies, and a wide assortment of freshly baked treats. You can get a sandwich as well and also get refrigerated artisan soups to go. This is such a …

Everything I’ve ever had was incredibly fresh and all of the retail workers I’ve interacted with as well as all the cafe and kitchen workers have been very friendly and helpful. There’s nothing like an amazing warm baguette or loaf of Challah. My recommendation is the Queenie- have it heated for a few seconds. It’s super soft and buttery and …
