    We ordered my daughters wedding cake and groomsmen cake from Magic Muffins. Hers was Strawberry and his was Oreo/Cookie Cake. it was the first time I was at a wedding where guests were eating cake. Both were really good and I definitely would recommend.

    Every time I've gone they have been the best there sugar cooks are very good along with their muffin. The only con was There was one time the muffin I got had walnuts and didn't know due to no signs stating may contain nuts even on the muffin card, and I'm highly allergic to walnuts. They also keep nut muffins in the same case so bewarnd if you have a nut allergy this is not the place for you. But I thankfully can still have other muffins they have my fav two are pumpkin spice and the lemon poppy seed. They also had a chocolate croissant the other day and when I eat it I heated it up for 15 secs it was to die fooor.

    Mini Shamrock Cookies!

    I stopped in this morning to get the kiddos a few muffins. I made the mistake of coming around 9am, which means they sold all of the delicious apple mini muffins, but they still had banana nut! I got a chocolate chip muffin top, 2 banana nut mini muffins, 4 mini shamrock cookies, and one butterfly cookie. My 3 year old ate all of her chocolate muffin top and half of the banana nut muffin, and her little sister ate all of her banana nut mini muffin. They both loved it. I gave the oldest half of the butterfly sugar cookie and I ate the other half. Man oh man was it delicious (always are). I proceeded to eat 2 of the mini shamrock cookies as well. The iced sugar cookies are so dang addictive and the price is great (trust me I've made iced sugar cookies and they were SUPER labor intensive). The cookies have an amazing almond flavor. 10/10 as always.

    Looking for a quick and tasty breakfast for your family or for a crowd? This is your spot! This local business has been around for as long as I can remember and it never disappoints. Of course the best part of a muffin is the top, and Magic Muffins offers muffin tops and are delicious. Another favorite is the sausage and cheese biscuit. Unlike a regular biscuit with sausage in the middle, this biscuit has cheese and sausage inside of the actual biscuit. Everything in their case looked wonderful and the staff was so welcoming and quick! Will be back soon!

    The sad part of our muffin experience.

    Well....I really love their muffin tops. I've had so many people bing them to get togethers and so we thought that we would try them out for breakfast. We really liked their breakfast biscuits that were mixed with cheese, ham, bacon, or sausage. We also ordered a pimento cheese sandwich which was okay. A German Apple muffin top, 2 blueberry ones and a carrot cake one and we had more than enough for all three of us to split. So here comes the disappointing part. My husband asked to have the biscuits warmed and they pointed us over to a tiny microwave. Or as we call them- Chef Mike. Kind of disappointing. Who wants to microwave bread products??? Yuck! It would be nice if they had a worker of at least a nice toaster that they could use to heat up baked goods instead of having to nuke them in a microwave. So we will go back, except we will just get our items to go so that we can take it home and warm them properly. The muffin tips are great.

    This place is bustling in the mornings and for good reason. Lots of delicious baked goods...particularly the muffin tops. You can get the good part of the muffin without having to labor through the bottom half which we all know is only the 2nd best part of a muffin. The tops are delicious, and they're really inexpensive. They've got cakes and coffee and all sorts of other beverages, and if I'm not mistaken theres a bit of other breakfast items as well. Great prices, friendly people, delicious muffin tops, local business. Try it if you haven't. You'll be glad you did.

    Two of my best friends used to come here all the time since I worked nearby and the other lived nearby, but I never joined them. They raved about it so much! When I finally decided to give them a try, I wan't super blown away. I had some sort of cheddar biscuit or maybe muffin top that was rather dry. They seem to have so many other menu items though, and looking at these yelp photos a lot of their decorated cookies are only $1.00?! Wow, I definitely need to check those out!

    Went to breakfast at Magic Muffins. I've had their items at various events for years, but never been in their store location. It kind of had a deli feel, plenty of seating and they offer more than just baked goods! I will say, their breakfast offerings are fairly simple. Meat and cheese flavored biscuits (I got the plain cheddar- fluffy and very tasty), muffins, muffin tops (the blueberry caught my eye, thin muffin top gives you all the flavors of a full muffin, but not all the calories!), mini muffins, and strawberry biscuits (actually really had a nice strawberry flavor to it!Also soft and delicious). They have cheese grits, but all items are served cold and they have a microwave available for you to use to heat. It is a simple counter service option for breakfast. Not a full menu restaurant (no bacon, pancakes, and eggs here!). They did have two gluten free muffin options (see photo for ingredients). As you can see in the pictures, they have TONS of take and bake options, casseroles, soups, side dishes, main courses (some GF options). Would be nice to have for a busy night or to take to a friend when they have a baby or an ill family member. They also have sandwiches and chips to purchase if you need a quick lunch. The staff greeted my group with a smile and helped us get our items (very reasonably prices. $5.50 for a drink, muffin top and two biscuits). They were very busy with people stopping by for breakfast or a to-go lunch.

    One of the rudest places in Birmingham. They are not friendly at all. We keep trying to go back and get the same rude service. Not again.

    Yelp's information is incorrect. Magic Muffins is open on Saturday mornings, based on their website.

Genuinely had a top 5 cortado here, the flavors are super unique - there seems to be some Asian influence to their flavors? Love that they use minor figures as well. The guy taking my order was so kind and friendly, inside was clean and inviting and the bathroom smelled incredible lolllll. Check this place out!

    Came here after reading reviews…read more I'll start by saying the staff were decent enough. Not super friendly but not rude. Just there. I ordered an iced americano given it was a hot day around noon. I got my drink and went to add creamer and sweetener like I always do. And bam that's when I noticed this place was one of those we are going to force you to have what we believe is healthier for you. What do I mean. No Splenda no equal just that nasty truvia. I'm diabetic so I don't use sugar and truvia is just nasty. It tastes horrible and makes your drink taste horrible. Now mind you they will use all kinds of syrups with dyes and additives and sugars but nope not Splenda. That's bad for you. The 50 grams of sugar in a single vanilla latte is totally fine. We're ok with that even though that alone is over the recommended amount. But Splenda no we can't allow that. Will never be back.

    One of the best sourdough-based bakeries we have tried in the US. The bread was supple with…read moreexcellent crumb. They take absolute care and pride in everything--even the eggs were extra tasty and their breakfast sandwiches....yum. Most of the pastries are made with sourdough (except danishes, cookies, muffins). And they are top notch. Tender, buttery, flavorful, no skimping on anything. Just plain delicious. Bought more to save for afternoon coffee. The Friday offerings of challah, rye, and bagels are not sourdough but made with great care--even the bagels are made using tangzhong and cold proofed for 48 hours. Even those who do not emote about food and those carefully counting macros and calories in our family were impressed, vocal, and eagerly finishing off all of the offerings, sweet and savory. And great service!

The space itself is beautiful--clean, intentional, and unique--with visual nods to milling and baking traditions. You can see elements of the mill and wheat motifs in the background, which adds a quiet sense of craftsmanship and history without feeling staged. The pastries are exceptional. Their croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, the sourdough is deeply flavorful, and the morning buns strike that ideal balance of richness and warmth. The baguette is crisp on the outside, tender inside--everything you want it to be. Every item feels carefully made, never rushed. What stands out most is the consistency and care. Breadworks manages to feel elevated yet welcoming--refined without being pretentious. It's clear they take pride in both their craft and their process, and it shows in every bite. A true standout in Birmingham and absolutely worth returning to.
