Everything looked so good that narrowing it down was honestly the hardest part. I went with the Conecuh Pepper Honey pastry and the Coconut Mojito Cruffin, and both were absolutely delicious and so creative. The kind of place that makes you wish you lived nearby so you could keep working your way through the menu.

Our Mardi Gras season here in Mobile has ended, and as we are well into Lent, I finally have time…read moreto compose a review of this unique and very good bakery. I wish that I could say that I was the one at our household who discovered Dropout Bakery, but I cannot. Instead it was my wife who, searching for someplace other than a supermarket to purchase a King Cake for our Mardi Gras celebration, found this fine bakery. Now, as I have never actually been to its location in downtown Mobile, it should be understood that this review is based solely on my experience with consuming their product. My wife learned that this bakery has an online ordering system, and that the product ordered through their website should be picked up the following morning. She further learned that, because of high demand, their in store product usually sales out within minutes of their opening each day. So as a first try she ordered a 6 inch King Cake, a small spinach quiche, and two petit-fours. The next morning she drove downtown and found, as she had learned it would be from online reviews, a long line to the bakery of customers waiting for the business to open. After going the long queue and finally upon reaching the interior, she found her online order waiting for her, separated from the other produce which was being quickly bought up by the customers in shop. This small business simply does not yet have the manpower or equipment to produce enough product to last beyond one day. Which is a good thing for customers who insist on same day freshness. The quiche and petit-fours did not survive long enough for me a get a photograph of each, but I did manage to get a photo of the King Cake, which I have included in this review. Finally, we found each item to be superbly delicious and very much worth the effort. We will be back again soon in order to sample more of their product, especially their larger King Cake when Mardi Gras season rolls around again next year.

Stop by and give them a try! You will not be disappointed.

Some restaurants become annual traditions. Guncles Gluten Free has become one of ours…read more For the past three years, our summer work conferences have brought us to Mobile, and every year we make sure Guncles is one of our final stops before heading back to Birmingham. At this point, it wouldn't feel like a Mobile trip without it. This visit was just as good as the previous ones. My wife and I shared one of their warm cinnamon rolls, and it continues to be one of the best things they make. It's served warm with a rich cream cheese icing that melts into every bite. Soft, flavorful, and indulgent without being overly sweet, it's become our tradition to split one before the drive home. We also picked up a few Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, which remain another favorite. The cake is incredibly moist, the cream filling is rich without being heavy, and it's hard to believe they're gluten free. Another item we always look forward to is their Oatmeal Cream Whoopie Pie. Unfortunately, they were sold out during this visit, but based on previous trips, it's one of our favorites and well worth trying if it's available. One of the things that impresses me most about Guncles is that the food doesn't feel like it's trying to compensate for being gluten free. The baked goods simply taste like excellent baked goods, period. The staff has always been friendly, welcoming, and consistently provides excellent service, making each visit enjoyable from start to finish. Favorites * Warm Cinnamon Roll * Red Velvet Whoopie Pie * Oatmeal Cream Whoopie Pie Three years, three visits, and the experience has been consistently outstanding. Guncles has become one of our favorite Mobile traditions, and it's one of the first places we'll recommend to anyone visiting the area. Whether you're gluten free or not, this bakery proves that great baking speaks for itself.

Being gluten free in the south is so difficult, so I was so pleased to stumble upon Guncles!…read moreStopped in on a Saturday morning and they had everything neatly arranged, clean inside, friendly staff, plenty of parking. We got the cinnamon roll, cheddar biscuits, chocolate Bundt cake, and oatmeal cream pies. Everything was delicious! The size of the cinnamon roll could've been bigger but I don't think you could tell the difference from a normal cinnamon roll. It was all fresh and decadent. 10/10 if you're gluten free!

I was in town for graduation! And I love me a good doughnut. I drove past this donut shop and…read morerealized there is multiple locations in the Mobile area. I finally opted to give it a go before I headed to the airport ... and this doughnut was phenomenal. My doughnut was still warm, soft and freshly baked.... I mean, Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme has nothing on this local donut shop. It set up like any donut shop and they display a couple tables. In my group, we tried the apple fritter, the cinnamon roll, the glaze, and chocolate dip with Sprinkles. There was no disappointment. There was a young lady in the early morning who asked if we were visiting, and she treated us with the donut holes. I actually had the donut holes at my layover. A couple hours later and then donut holes were still very soft!! There are breakfast sandwiches available and coffee, but with the name, as Lickin' Good Donuts I was coming for the doughnuts. I wish I would've tried this my first day when I was in Mobile. I'd recommend giving it a try. The locals know about this spot, so be patient and expect to wait you will not be disappointed!!

Well, I just dropped by for a few cupcakes, so my experience was not very involved at all…read more Sweet tooth - saw shop - slammed on brakes. I bought four beautiful cupcakes! It was the afternoon so they weren't fresh out of the oven or anything, but each was different and just beautiful. The price was about $3.25 or so each and they were boxed up very nicely. Well, since I am insulin-dependent making this stop wasn't high on the intelligence scale. So I improvised and drove to one of my little hang outs and waited for some buddies to arrive. The consensus was "delish". I had part of a lemony cake that was not too sweet, not overly frosted and very pretty in presentation. Unfortunately this just is not my typical food item, but I was not at all disappointed.

I didn't even get to the tasting part and already hated it. I had heard from a friend and based on…read moretheir stellar reviews that they would be excellent. I'm sure their cakes are wonderful, but if you want customer service this is NOT the place to go. When I called, the person was very curt and it was difficult to get information as to whether or not my date (11 months out) was available. I was told that May, June, and July were starting to fill up and that I needed to make my decision fast. My fiance works full time out of town (4+ hours away) and I normally live out of town (3 hours away), so coming in on a Tuesday for a cake tasting together is almost impossible for us. I asked if there was any way we could possibly work around this. I understand it's policy, but how difficult would it be a bit more accommodating by using email, scanning pictures, phone conversations, allowing a relative or MOH to come in, etc, for a consultation on those days? She begrudgingly set up an appointment for me. No questions about the size of our wedding, when it was, where it was, or what flavors I had in mind. I called other bakers around town and even though they were busy, they still were incredibly accommodating, even though they all pretty much have the same policies as no tastings on the weekends. I was really shocked at the way I was treated, so I called back to Couture Cakes to ask for the owner, since judging by the rudeness I assumed it was an underpaid receptionist. She had the audacity to argue with me, saying that she was not rude and that she remembered speaking with me. She became incredibly defensive, saying that she was not curt in anyway and that I was wrong. She finally apologized, and when I said thank you and that I still wanted to conduct business with her, she just said with utmost attitude "well then, do you even want to come in then?" WHAT EVEN!? I felt like I was in the twilight zone and was sent back to some sort of high school drama. This is the type of business that gives women owners a bad name! I am so disappointed because I was looking forward to using them for our large wedding regardless of the tasting. If this is the way their business is conducted I do not foresee this business lasting much longer. DO NOT GO HERE! Just because she did AJ McCarron's engagement cake doesn't give her the right to conduct poor business. Please, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. When you're in the throws of wedding planning the last thing you want to deal with is awful customer service.

The music was loud so everyone was having to talk over it and as this is a communal table sitting, you can imagine the noise level. This is also a roasting house and when I went to get my coffee the urn was empty (this has happened before), I immediately brought to someone's attention and it took until I had finished my breakfast bowl before it was refilled. I had the Farmers Bowl and found it filled with sautéed vegetables along with two eggs over medium and sliced sweet potatoes with skin on the bottom. It was flavorful and I would have it again.
