I arrived at a little after 1:00 pm on a Saturday afternoon and they were already down to only a few donut twists and a few mini cake donuts. I got one of each and both were the perfect treat! Kathie , who happened to be the owner Julie's sister assisted me - she was extremely nice and engaging! She even threw in a complementary donut! She also informed me that I could call in to request they hold any of their baked goods for pick -up. I think this is a great way to gain new customers and to keep existing ones! I can certainly see why Fultondale Bakery is a well known staple in the area. It has a home style & cozy feel to it , which is very welcoming. The interior isn't very big but limited seating is available. The pricing menu is posted for all to see and the display cases are well lighted to show off all the yummy sweets! This was my first time visiting this bakery but it certainly won't be my last! I told the owner I would return and I plan on visiting again real soon!

I dined in and enjoyed the vanilla doughnut more than the fritter, mainly because if the fritter was warmed up it would have been amazing! Cold cinnamon, glaze, bread, and apples aren't as appealing to me, but maybe I missed an option to warm it up. That wouldn't stop me from visiting again!

It takes a while to get your food because it's prepared fresh upon ordering, but it's well worth the wait. My usual order includes 3 whole wings, fries, Doughnuts, and a drink for $6.99.

I…read moredo wish they stayed open a little later given the location, but it still works well as a place to grab a meal before heading to nearby bars. I haven't tried an entrée yet because my group usually orders a few dips to share, and they've always been a hit. That said, the dishes I've seen at other tables have looked delicious. The outdoor patio is one of my favorite features--it's a great place for people-watching, enjoying the atmosphere, and having a daytime drink. The service has been solid on every visit. Nothing extraordinary, but friendly, efficient, and with no complaints. Overall, it's a place I'd happily come back to.

People, People with Paws, and Little People oh my!…read more Pepper Place Farmers' Market is basically Birmingham's Saturday granola goes southern parade, except with better snacks and a lot more dogs. Yes, there is fresh produce, baked goods (a line about a block long for one particular vendor), and all sorts of things you absolutely did not plan to buy. But the real hidden gem is the free people watching. It is top tier. You will see stylish shoppers, not so stylish shoppers (yours truly) sleepy parents, tiny children weaving through the crowd like they pay taxes, and dogs who clearly believe this entire event was organized for them personally. The whole place has a fun, happy energy, and even if you came only for tomatoes, you will leave with a pastry, three unnecessary purchases, and at least one strong opinion about someone's hat. Also, pro tip: bring your kitchen knives to be sharpened while you shop. Nothing says "productive weekend" like artisan bread, fresh peaches, and a newly dangerous chef's knife.

I decided to stop for a bite to eat after a nearby appointment. I had never been to this location…read morebefore, and I found the drive through to be a bit tight and oddly laid out. I assume that is simply part of being located downtown where space is limited. The driveway and patio area could use a good sweeping, which would really help improve the overall appearance. Since I do not frequent Dunkin', I was not quite sure what to order. I simply asked for "something sweet to drink." When I noticed they had a breakfast combo that included a drink, I decided to go with that option. The employee on the intercom was incredibly helpful and patient while I figured things out. When I apologized for being new to the Dunkin' world, she genuinely smiled and assured me it was no problem. Her kindness and patience made such an impression that I asked if she would be willing to have her photo included in my review. She seemed pleasantly surprised and said that had never happened before, but she was happy to oblige. As I exited, the drive through leads straight through another parking lot, which felt a bit unusual. Again, I assume that is simply part of navigating a downtown location. The food was delicious and I enjoyed every bite. The new banana flavored iced coffee that Skyler recommended was absolutely perfect.

For starters, the beef fat candle was a fun and unexpected highlight: it comes out lit, and you wait for the flame to die down before stirring everything together. For mains we shared the hanger steak and the seafood fideos, both excellent, and finished with a trio of desserts -- meringue, tres leches, and the seven-layer chocolate cake. Every single dish was phenomenal, easily some of the best food I've had recently. The only knock is the service. Once we placed our order, it was surprisingly difficult to flag our waiter down for anything else. Given how good the food was, I'd absolutely go back, but hoping for a bit more attentiveness next time.
