I got the croissant warmed and that was the right choice! Even at the end of the day they were steadily busy, so come when you have time!

We got a chocolate chip croissant, salted egg & pork floss bun, and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. All of it was delicious. I didn't realize that you have to ask for the baked items to be heated up. Workers were great in heating up our order and providing heating instructions on the items we got to go. The bakery itself is very small, very little room for a line or two small chaotic kids. Sitting is outdoors only-- in the front and back so we got lucky the rain stayed away. It ended up to be a perfect cloudy day to watch the trains go by in the front. No bathrooms that I noticed. Bring wipes for your kids bc I didn't get napkins and they had sticky hands after they ate their baked goods. No parking lot. Off street parking available.

I definitely had to get a regular glazed donut and I also grabbed a few other tasty treats! (See pics from recent visit). Everything is always so fresh and not overly sweet, which is the part I love the most. Despite arriving pretty late in the day on a Friday, we still had a great selection to pick from. The gentleman working was extremely helpful and took time to engage with us. This is such a warm & welcoming bakery. I highly recommend paying them a visit whenever you visit the area. There are a few tables to sit inside or outside. They also have a drive thru for convenience.

My friends got the ham and cheese croissants, which looked incredible. I got several different things to try, intending to share, but brought them all home on a rainy day and they never made it back out of the house. The olive oil cake was scrumptious. Light, pleasantly sweet. Almost a pound cake texture, not that weird polenta-y thing. The oat morning bar also had an incredible flavor. The jam was tart and the oats were sweet with a little salty finish. Fantastic with some coffee. There was a line out the door when we got here. No seating inside. It all moved very quickly. I can see why everyone says these are the best pastries in Alabama...

I have never been served a burnt or undercooked pastry in any of the excellent bakeries I have frequented. Except for Last Call.

Today I was sold an extremely undercooked Kouigan Aman that was inedible. I give up. Never will I give them my money again.

Unfortunately, they didn't have key lime but red velvet was available. Once I got passed the Starbuck's cult members. The parking over here is super , duper tight and you really just have to fight to find a parking spot. You've been warned. I was able to grab a dozen of baby bites and get checked out quickly. The hardest part was parking but no fault of Pastry Art. It also took me some extra time to decide on what other baby bite flavors to get to complete my order.

The lady was assisted me was welcoming. Their desserts were all individually packaged and the portions were nice. I ordered a slice of key lime cake and a slice of lemon glazed pound cake. Both were average in taste. I really enjoyed the icing on the key lime cake; it was the perfect amount of sweetness. They also offer cakes in a jar ; which is a neat concept. I plan to try one the next time. Overall this was an okay experience.

My daughter insisted on going over and looking to see what kind of sweet treats they had. It was the late afternoon/early evening and we were informed that some of the items were out of stock. My daughter wanted to try the blue razz candy apple and I tried a slice of red velvet cake with no pecans. We got in the car and of course my daughter was excited to try the candy apple. So we had no complaints there. We got home and tried the red velvet cake. It was OK. It didn't have that fresh taste, moist taste. We ate 2 bites of the cake and my daughter agreed.

If I hadn't read about it on Yelp, I'm not sure when I would have noticed it. Went in today. The store is cute! They change their menu daily and have a really good variety of flavors. I purchased 3 cookies (just wanted to taste): 2 chocolate chip and one half brownie half chocolate chip. Cost: $5.72. (Some say) A little pricey for 3 cookies, but this company refers to themselves as "Gourmet", so to be expected. $5/$6 bucks isn't 'gawk worthy' but if you need a dozen or 2... Oh! the Gent that helped me said they make cookies every few hours! Talk about fresh!! The chocolate chip was Phenomenal! No doubt, I'd definitely go back for that. My son equally enjoyed the 1/2 & 1/2. The cookies are super moist and a good size. They do offer edible cookie dough and there is a small seating area in the shop. Good stuff!

They have a great opportunity nestled next to a couple restaurants in the same complex. First comment, this was my third trip by here and was finally able to catch them open. Second, as can be seen my the picture, they had about 6 or 7 different cookies to choose from and they say that the change the cookie menu up on a regular basis. But cookies that are displayed on the menu on the wall are not currently in the display case for sale because that isn't the day they make them. That isn't the best business model when you see something you want and then have to settle for something else because they didn't make it that day. Prices for a single cookie, especially considering the size of the cookie, are on the high side. $1.75 for a slightly bigger than home made cookie seems too much to me. Really good idea, really good location, but very poor execution. Hopefully they will make some improvements because they could have something really good here.

It seemed like Mexico's version of a "China Town" or "Little Italy" in Hoover. I have not seen anything like this around here. My friend Tina and I tried Mexican sweets here, and I also had a snack of the Crazy Doritos. This place is very whimsical and cute. Perfect for kiddos and families. There is a ton of space too. They have ice creams galore here. It was hard for me to choose! I went for the prettiest one I saw and that turned out to be the Birthday Cake flavor. It was delicious! Tina had the mangonada that looked very good. I was wanting a salty snack too, so when I saw the Dori-Lokos or "Crazy Doritos" I knew I wanted to try it. The lady working there asked me twice if pork skins was okay for her to top onto them. I said sure. Little did I know what I was about to experience! They were actual pork skins that were like a cartilage or jello like texture. I assumed they would be like the crispy bagged variety you see in stores. It was an experience for sure! I liked it, but I probably would not order it again. The Crazy Doritos were also topped with a sort of nut that I liked, cucumber, and hot sauce. I just can't believe I was not in Mexico when I came here. I'm really glad we have places like this that can make some people feel like home and allow other to just have a different experience. It sure was memorable!
