Edgar's Bakery is an Alabama treasure. In the near 20 years since I was first introduced to Edgar's, the bakery has expanded across the Birmingham area and added multiple locations in Huntsville. I have not had a strawberry cake or cupcake in all my travels that can rival Edgar's strawberry cake. I challenge you to. The employees were nice and exhibited the Southern charm you'd expect. The dining tables are lined up against the windows and extend into the middle of the space. The rest of the interior space is occupied by various tables and stands of baked goods and treats. This visit was my first time ever having food. I ordered the bacon omelet with grits and toast. It was fine, nothing spectacular. It was good enough for me to eat there again but nothing that I'd say you have to go out and get. If you haven't tried the strawberry cake or strawberry cupcake, you HAVE TO- MUST- stop in and try one or both of them.

Edgar's Chicken Melt

Edgar's is a well-known bakery with a few locations around Huntsville. I tried the popular location in the "village" of Providence. In a bakery for breakfast, I ordered the cinnamon roll but was very unimpressed. It was surprisingly cold and dry. However, I did enjoy the Chicken Melt, which has avocado, peppers, and cheese. The avocado was by far my favorite. Though the side of pasta salad tasted like one of those grocery store deli items that sit behind the case all day. While it's hard to mess up cinnamon rolls and pasta salad, perhaps I ordered the wrong baked goods, so I may give Edgar's another shot.

Biscuits and gravy

Biscuits and gravy were disappointing! The gravy has no taste and is so thick and doughy...too much flour. It came out looking like it had been sitting on the plate for hours. We also ordered Eggs Benedict and my husband wasn't a fan. He only ate a few bites. $50.00 wasted. :/ They are busy selling a lot of cakes and pastries from the bakery so that must be their specialty. It's definitely not their brunch food. Chai latte was good. Atmosphere is nice. Lots of room to find a good seat. *Tyler, a manager, did talk through this with me and allowed me to share my customer experience.*

You can see how even the top has shrunk, showing the cake , the bottom it's sinking after I pushed it together

Listen, update to my previous review. I'm still extraordinarily disappointed in this cake, but to their credit the manager after seeing my review did reach out to me. I did get a refund. Fix I actually had already called my bank and they had already credited me because I had paid for strawberries which I did not get in the cake was a disaster. My concern about ordering a cake ever again would be if this was a baby shower or something really special not that my daughter's birthday wasn't but it was Family. If you ordered a cake for a party and you got this, you would be beyond furious. I'm sorry to say it's just not reliable enough to order.. it was such a disaster that as a family we've decided next year for any cake we're going to make our own.! Sorry edgarg's you've lost at least three groups of our family!

Great open space to work or visit in. Wonderful breakfast, and always great sweets. Everyone is always kind and friendly as well. Anytime I'm in town I have to stop by for a treat or spend my afternoon working from here!

What has happened to this place? 4/6/23 The tall, blonde, female with all the necklaces cashier was an unfriendly robot, she wasn't helpful at all. I asked what came on a sandwich and she said here's a menu you can read it, I had to step out of line and dig for my reading glasses and read the menu (The menu board doesn't list what's on each sandwich.) It's been a year or so since we have eaten at Edgar's and I noticed their pre sliced cake are now half the size they were before. My Apple Jack sandwich didn't have the usual cranberry bread but instead served it on walnut bread. The walnut bread crust was so hard I could barely bite through. For a cranberry sandwich, there were no cranberries on it at all. Very disappointing. In addition, in the past when you order a side you always got chips with your meal. I got no chips today. Now the tea, on the other hand, was the best in all of Huntsville The place look the same still cute.

When I grow up, I wanna be a Reuben!

"What side do you want?" "Hmm, what's the pepper slaw?" Actual response: "I don't know. It's like slaw, with peppers. I think it's mayo-based." Factually accurate response: "It's a vinegar-based slaw with chopped green peppers. And we're going to serve it on a lettuce leaf, so it looks pretty. But the vinegar is going to run all over the plate, turning the bottom half of your sandwich into a doughy, soggy mess." Third time here. Second time it didn't live up to expectations. Time to move on.

I ate here twice and once ordered out a bunch of pastries and turkey roll ups for a meeting. Love this place. Service inconsistent but food makes up for it. The avocado egg sandwich was delicious. I got it on grain bread without the hot sauce. So delicious. The pastries could kill any diet. I loved the cookies and mini cakes. The turkey roll up was good. The cinnamon bun is the target next trip!

No one and still I wait 20+ minutes for my food

After going to the farmer's market, we decided to stop by to pick up some breakfast at Edgar's…read more This is a chain restaurant. Walking inside on Saturday around 8:15, there weren't many customers. I walked up to the counter and ordered Dave the All American Breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar biscuit and potatoes. I ordered the Southwest Omelette with sausage, green peppers, onions, cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes and a side of potatoes and toast. All American. Breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar biscuit, and potatoes was Dave's order. The cheddar biscuit was nearly the size of my hand. Easily 2.5 times larger than average biscuits. My former manager, Jimmy Randolph, told me years ago that his mother made cat head biscuits. The biscuit was at least the size of a cat's head. The cheddar biscuit was delicious. Dave said everything about his order except the potatoes was ok. He is a simple man who does not want green peppers, onions or anything else cooked with his potatoes. As soon as he saw the add ons to his side of potatoes, he had a grumpy look. He refused to eat said add ons. He said he wouldn't order a side of potatoes again. 3/5 My Southwest Omelette and potatoes was average. The omelette was cooked too much. It was dry. There wasn't enough cheese in my humble opinion. The potatoes were ok. The potatoes were boiled with no crisp edges. I prefer crispy potatoes. I did eat the add ons. They were flavorful. 3/5 The menu lists breakfast potatoes. No description of additional bell peppers and onions added. I bought a few petit fours. Two vanilla and two chocolate for $8. They were beautifully decorated and tasted good. They were not the best I have had but not the worst. 4/5 I will return to Edgar's. They have many bakery items to select from. If you have a need for a fast birthday cake or any dessert, they have it. Please stop by and try their desserts. You will enjoy them. 4/5

I can't vouch for the other Edgar's locations, but I've ordered birthday cakes twice for my…read moregirlfriend from this location. The first time was a caramel cake. The second time, very recently, was an orange dreamsicle cake. Both cakes were really great and tasty. I ordered online both times, and both times the cakes were ready as promised. I highly recommend.
