I was in town for a wedding. Pensacola also happens to be my home town. And I wanted to find a nice…read morebreakfast one day. I hopped online to do some quick research, and found this place. Definitely new since I left home. I was interested. Ambiance was wonderful. A good amount of seating with each sitting spot feelings mildly secluded, which is nice. No one wants their coffee shop gossip being overheard. And when you walk in, you're first greeted with that classic glass case of available pastries and goodies. It was hard to not just order one of each item. Service was nice. It was counter service, and they bring your order right to your table. Can't ask for better service than that. Nice folks, good small talk. And the food, it was delightful. We got a couple of fancy coffee drinks, which were well-flavored, not too sweet, and the iced one was presented in a mason jar. Classic. We also shared like four food items. The pull-apart monkey bread was sweet and dense and delicious. Don't order this if you're alone. You'll need help to finish it. Got a creme filled pull pastry thing. That was nice. Flakes for days. This was no rough puff. For the chocolate croissant, also known as a pain au chocolat. Again, very flakey, very buttery, the perfect touch of sweet chocolate. And a savory, massive scone. Bacon and chives, I think. Also very good. Crumbly. Overall, I was very surprised. There certainly wasn't anywhere like this in Pensacola when I lived here. This place is a quality bakery that could easily be found in a medium-sized city. I was so pleased and will definitely come back.

Pros: Ambiance was great. Pastry everywhere, nice seating…read morearea, and the smell of fresh baked bread in the air. Service was very friendly. They brought all that we ordered right to our table. Very nice. And the pastries themselves were very high quality. Flakey, not dry, well filled, of a good size. Definitely a high point. Cons: No real cons. I didn't have enough stomach space to try everything I wanted. Lol. Tips: The chocolate croissant and the creme filled thing we got were delicious. The scone was also good, but maybe less good than other things we left on the table. Need to come back here!

We have now tried Local Thyme Bakery twice and both times the baked goods have been fantastic. This…read morelast time something happened that is worth mentioning. I am going to assume that you do not know about Local Thyme. It has just opened. The baker, Caleb puts a list of the items he wants to make for the week online and you place your order. He then will drop it off at Aragon Wine Market on Thursday nights when they have their free wine tastings. This went super smoothly the first time but not so much the last time. It appears that the person who was helping Caleb forgot to bring our order. My wife reached out to Caleb at around 6pm. He was at Aragon and said to our surprise that he would be right out to the house with our order. W-W-W what? Yep! Caleb drove the 20 minutes to our house, there is a toll, just to be sure that we got our order! Wow! Old school service, and the bread was fantastic too? Crazy........ So I get to work this morning and I am listening to one of my coworkers talk about this business she is trying to work with who is giving her the run around and not getting back to her. She complains that it is a brand new company and they are not trying very hard. I was happy to tell her about Local Thyme and what Caleb did for us last night. She immediately wanted to know the name of his business. I happily gave it to her. If you are sitting around thinking to yourself that you need something in your life and everything is blah and gray, I have just the thing to make your life bright and shiny again! It's sourdough cookies! Holy crap!!!!!!!! Those things will absolutely change your life. Just saying. Try them, you are welcome! Hell, its all delicious!

What's in a name? If the first one garnered bad press let's change it to D's Bakery and offend a new batch of customers. If my experience is any example she is certainly working hard to attain that goal. On our first visit we consumed 2 pastries and endured a dissertation on how great everything was going. The second visit found the place closed. Today we entered the "bakery" as another couple paid for a purchase and stepped aside allowing us access to the counter where we stood un-acknowledged for more than 10 minutes while the couple departing was given a lengthy dissertation on how great she was and how many financial opportunities she had access to because of her few cookies. I honestly do not believe she noticed. Unless you're desperate, don't bother with this "bakery". Walmart would be a better choice. read more

The cake my friends received at their wedding looked like any infamous pinterest (EPIC) FAIL... Incredibly SLOPPY and covered in the wrong frosting. My friends made the best of the situation at the wedding (after all, the damage was already done-- what more could they do in that moment? Let the cake made by a toddler spoil their beautiful day? I think not...) and when they complained and asked the owner to make it right she made excuse after excuse and eventually called her clients (my friends) "BROKE" and "DESPERATE FOR MONEY/REFUND". This woman is a disgusting human being and runs a deplorable sham of a business. People have even come forward exposing her for stealing photos of their work and trying to claim it as her own! DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO THIS SCAM!!!! read more

They ruined my friends wedding ! The cake was horrible . They asked for their money back and were told they would remake the cake . Which what use is another cake after the wedding is already over ??? They have talked down on them and called them broke selfish people . Which is in no way true . Hateful comments were not necessary . They cake looked and tasted awful . They even found ribbon in their cake when they cut into it ! The woman who owns this place also steals pictures from online of other peoples work and tries to pass it off as her own . She doesn't care about the fact that she ruined these people's special day . All she cares about is money in her pocket . Go absolutely anywhere other than here !!!! read more

Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. Stealing pictures and passing them as your own. Then providing half ass service to couples. And of course you would treat same sex couples horribly, you're in bumfuck Alabama. You seriously need to accept the fact that you're not any good, take those pictures down that DO NOT belong to you, and close your business. You didn't do any of the hard work you claim you did, and that's just sad. read more
