    Pastries
    Isabel S.

    Last Call Baking is my favorite bakery in Birmingham, and ever (?) Their pastries are always made fresh everyday and you can tell. Each bite tastes heavenly. I love their croissants (almond and chocolate) and the scroll! If you go on the weekday you won't have to wake up super early but it's worth the early wake up call. Afterwards go next door to June for a cup of coffee and there's your perfect morning.

    This place is ridiculously good. I am a connoisseur of pastries, and this may be my new number one. I had the Kouign Amann and pain au chocolat. Both were best in class for these types of pastries. My friend tried the coffee bun and it was terrific as well. I cannot wait to go back to this place and try absolutely every sweet thing that they make. So flaky so sugary chewy dillish. Make it a stop on your Birmingham tour!

    Food first, thoughts after... I wish with all my heart that pastries would be healthy for us or at least not be unhealthy for us. This is one of the top bakeries in Birmingham. With vast varieties that excel far beyond the usual pastry items, there will forever be a place in my heart for this bakery. The olive oil cake is out of this world. Don't believe me? Just drive up one day and see the daily line that forms outside. Worth the wait!

    So I previously went here last year (2025) and thought 5 out of 6 items were home runs. Shortly after they announced the sale of the business to June coffee and I immediately said "there goes that bakery". I decided to give them a chance and not assume they would fall off just because the owners changed. So here it is Feb 1st 2026 and I drive from Atlanta to give them said deserved chance. Well they didn't prove me wrong. The breakfast ? Cookie was dry and tasted burnt, the oat bar was super bland and all you got was the tartness from the jam. But some how zero sweetness from the crumble. I don't like overly sweet but how you can make a crumble which is made from sugar not sweet and off putting it's magical. Also go the raspberry danish situation which was also missing anything besides the tartness of the jam. The lemon tart dough was extremely undercooked and boardline raw. So again another miss. Everything missed the mark this time. Complete 180 from last year. I wanted so deeply to be proven wrong and to enjoy amazing treats but sadly that didn't happen.

    Last Call Baking has a fantastic variety of sweet and savory baked goods, with so much creativity! We enjoyed the potato and Brie pastry, gochuchang twist, kouign amann, and ham and cheese croissant. Service was friendly and quick! Everything was delicious - make sure to come early (there is a line starting at 7:30 am)

    The best bakery in townnnn! If you can swing a weekday morning visit, you'll have the best selection before everything sells out by around 10 a.m. Weekends are definitely more hectic. We tried the ham and cheese croissant, cinnamon roll, olive oil cake, and cheese biscuit after getting recommendations for the croissant and cinnamon roll. Cheese danish was also recommended! If I had to pick a favorite, the olive oil cake was hands-down the winner. So good!

    I visited Last Call for a breakfast treat after hearing so much about it! The location is in the downtown area and parking can be a little of a challenge. The bakery is very quaint and cute with good service. So many options to choose from which made it hard to select. I decided on the egg danish which was good but would have been better heated. They had some amazing looking items and you can see them making everything fresh. Look forward to visiting again soon!

    0/5 for this awful place. Drove 4 hours to try this bakery, got there at 11:35 AM, baked items were still on rack, employees in store. They would not let me in, saying they are "closed". Their google hours and website hours shows the bakery closed at 12 pm. What a shame. Lots of other places to try, I'd recommend any place but this one unless you want inconsistency. ** To respond to the owners comment, there was a sign propped up on the ground saying "CLOSED" blocking the door, i did stand in front of the door and an employee did say they were closed. So yes, nobody was allowed in to have a conversation with the employees about other options.

    This is a spot that deserves every drop of praise that it gets - Last Call Baking. Nominated for a James Beard award, the genius chef behind this local Bham bakery consistently whips out unique pastries that combines different cultures and cuisines. And their rotation of classic pastries is always solid. I love their breakfast sandos and their danishes. On this beautiful morning we had the gochuchang twists - it was so good we went back to buy more. Make sure to follow their instagram. They highlight their pastries of the week and special deals on their stories and posts. Only downside? They sell out quick - so make sure to set your alarm if you want a piece of the goodness.

    Ham and cheese croissant

    Great flakey pastries, appropriately rated. I love how they outsource to June to help offset the long lines and accompany a nice seasonal latte. I love the location and this has become a great asset to the northern Birmingham community.

    This place is phenomenal and definitely deserves the praise it gets! The location is very small, but the employees were extremely welcoming. They offer lots of delicious items, and my personal favorite is the morning bun. Make sure to go very early since they sell out pretty quickly.

    The perfect pastry case
    Jay T.

    Better than any pastries I've had in Paris. Hands down the absolute best there is in Birmingham. The croissants are utter perfection. The Kouign-amann are the best things I've ever put in my mouth.

    Excellent service and mouth-watering pastries. Try the cranberry oat bar and/or coffee swirl croissant; you won't be disappointed!

There wasn't line when we got there but the crowd usually follows us for some reason so by the time we left there was standing room only and a line out the door. The bakery items were very fresh and tasty. I loved the Swedish gingerbread cookies - light and crisp. The lemon bar was delicious. They also have sandwiches that liked really good. Coffee - I got a vanilla latte extra sweet (no lavender) and my daughter said it was one of the best. I thought it was pretty good. I would go again when back in Birmingham!

The young girl making the coffee was loudly talking about someone who messed up their coffee order this morning and how frustrated she was. The only other employee was occupied with what seemed a large order of bread etc. When she finished what she was doing she looked at the now five customers, claustrophobically waiting, and said I'll be right back and disappeared. Leaving the one guy serving the one customer. It was 11:30 am on a rainy day. Figured I could do without a cream cheese croissant and coffee and left. Had already waited 5 as the only other person in there and did not want to wait another undetermined amount of time. I know one of the bakers. It's a shame the front has been so bad these last two times.

My two sons and I drove over to Sunshine's bakery this morning and I must admit-- it was worth the drive. We started out with three of the mango pastries and two ham and cheese croissants. The mango pastries were very good. The inside was kind of like a pudding/mousse and it did have real mangoes as well. My husband wasn't able to come with us so I picked up two more fruit pastries, another mango and the pear one. Even with it being a drive, I can see myself coming out here again. Oh, and the employees inside were very, very nice and hospitable. One of the employees, I believe may be the owner, came outside when we were eating and asked us how we liked everything and even asked for any feedback on how to make things better. You can't ask for better service than that!

Slightly warmed up for me and has a slight sweet taste on top, I should have turned around and purchase some more! Next time, I'll order a dozen ahead of time so I can freeze them and eat them at leisure (every morning!) Good news for them as they will be supplying the Pink Lantern in downtown bham with pastries!

Soon as you walk in, you see packaged desserts in both full cakes and slices. They had several King Cakes, so we immediately decided to split a slice. Decided that first before what we're actually eating. #priorities Last time I ate here, I got the Chicken Quesadilla and it was so good. But a couple of my coworkers got the Marilyn Monroe, a sandwich with "turkey, pepperoni, mozzarella & marinara sauce on cheddar bread". So I went with that this time, same as my coworker. Concept here is that you order at the counter, they give you a number to display on your table, then another server will bring your order. Service was fast. The sandwich looked a bit small at first, but it was stacked with turkey and pepperoni, so the portion size was actually just right. It comes with marinara sauce on the side for dipping, which is good, because it keeps the sandwich from being too messy, but it was a bit odd because it was cold, in combination with the warm sandwich. I kinda wish the sauce had been warmer. It comes with a bag of chips and your choice of another side, which I chose fruit. I don't care for melon, so I picked around that and ate the grapes out. Next time I might get another side. And finally... it was King Cake time. We had picked a cream cheese slice and it was SO good. Had a cinnamon taste mixed in, but to be fair, this was my first King Cake so I actually have no idea what to compare it to. This dessert made me so happy. Two things I need to figure out: why is this sandwich called the Marilyn Monroe and when can we eat here again.
