Continental Bakery

New to the area, I came this morning very excited to get a real European croissant. Got the bag of two home and was super disappointed. Not sure if claggy is the right word, not being a baker, but out of the bag that they were very casually thrown into the bottom of with other goods on top, they looked deflated and half done. See pics attached. Opened the more deflated one and the center is still dough. Opened the second one and it’s a bit better but still not up to snuff. I’ll give them another chance, and update this review if it’s a better experience, but this was a rough start. Also the cashier while bagging my order dropped one of the macarons on the wood counter. I saw her mind calcula...

We are from Texas where I feel like you can get a macaron anywhere. I’ve been wanting an almond macaron so bad so I decided to look for a spot in Birmingham to get one. This bakery was the first one I found. We got there and it was super cute. So I was excited. They didn’t have any almond macarons. Super disappointed. But they did have lavender which is my second favorite. I bough 4 macarons and 4 sugar cookies for $30 which is a whole lot. Was so excited to eat them and they were so chewy. I guess I’ll just wait to go back home to get some good macarons. Kids said the cookies were okay but had better.

You might as well just set your paycheck to auto draft to them because you'll give them all your money once you try it. Butter Croissant and hot chocolate are my absolute favorites! The cold sesame seed noodles are amazing, the chicken salad and their sourdough bread should be ordered by the pound it's that good). Their Americano is perfect, no cream or sugar even needed. This entire place is pure chef kisses.

The Continental Bakery is a quaint shop, serving bread, cookies, and other treats with coffee in English Village, the smallest of Mountainbrook's three villages. Their decorating skills yield their own version of animal cookies. They also sell local honey and McEwen and Son's grits. The outdoor seating adds to the flavor of this neighborhood shop.

Cute bakery, but the food was disappointing. Got 2 brie sandwiches and the bread was stale. The prices were also very high for what we got. On the plus side, the staff was very nice.
