Edgar's Bakery

Staff needs customer service training quickly! No one greeted me as I walked in. Didn't say thank you for coming in ...JUST RUDE

How could I have missed this place on my last trip to Birmingham? I stopped for a quick lunch, which was wonderful, but what really blows your mind are the baked goods. Custom cakes, breads, sweets and seasonal items. Adorable

I used to brag on Edgar’s King Cake being better than any back home in Louisiana. But the quality has unfortunately declined. The King Cakes are now flat and dry. Don’t waste your money on one. Buy a thumbprint cookie instead cause it’s the only thing lately hasn’t disappointed from there. Also the cinnamon rolls! But these King Cakes I received were a disgrace. I ordered them fresh and when I picked them up they were flat and looked old. The sugar topping was moist and sticking to the cellophane. Maybe reconsider your packaging method… . Anyway I didn’t say anything because I was being them that afternoon to the birthday party. I was thinking they don’t look pretty but at least they’ll taste good. Big mistake! HUGE! They were wet and sticky on the outside and dry on the inside. Definitely won’t be bragging on Edgar’s for a while. Very disappointing to say the least. I don’t mind paying more for a King Cake but Edgar’s… you’re not worth it anymore. If you’re looking for a King Cake next year BHAM, just go to Publix or Winn Dixie cause it’ll be cheaper and taste better. And yes I was petty enough to break out the tape measure.

I've been here a couple times and it's always good. The workers are sweet and attentive and they have real coffee. The pastries are huge too and very yummy
