    We've been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally decided to scratch it off the list. I ordered the almond croissant which was very tasty. The employee was friendly and had a good sense of humor. Small bakery with a few tables outside. Street parking is available. I would definitely recommend this bakery.

    This place has been on my list for months so we finally got a chance to go. Not disappointed. Prices are online so I rank this in my places that I go when I want to treat myself and I am worth it. The Ham and Cheese croissant was worth it in every bite. When I thought the ham was gone, it wasn't lol. I treated my daughter to a sweet treat and I got myself one for later. She loved hers and I am sure I will love mine. Let's support our small local community businesses and treat ourselves as well. They are only open Thursday Friday and Saturday I believe so look them up online for details. Outside seating and an atmosphere of friendliness. Check em out Yall!!!!

    King cake croissant

    I absolutely LOVED my first visit to Sunshine's Bakery. The owners are husband and wife and they both are amazing! I really enjoyed talking with them during my visit. The Vietnamese coffee I had was absolutely delightful! It was like a nice hug. Despite it being iced coffee, it was sooooo good. Highly recommend! I also tried the king cake croissant; this croissant was so light and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the cream inside the croissant. Perfection with the right amount of sweetness! Yep. The bakery interior is full of delicious treats. The staff is so welcoming. There isn't indoor seating but there is outdoor seating available. I think it's safe to say that I'll be back to Sunshine's Bakery real soon! Please support this amazing small business located in Irondale, Al..... You won't regret it!!!

    What an amazing GEM tucked away in the downtown area!! If you know anything about Asian bakeries.... This is a very similar situation. I tried the almond croissant and the pork bun and both were delicious!!! Really makes me think of SweetHut bakery in Atlanta!! I will definitely be back

    Cute family run bakery...Wonderful homemade pastries right outside of Birmingham. I got a cinnamon roll! Fresh, sweet and just the right amount of cinnamon.

    The owners are so kind a a pleasure to speak with! I got a fantastic dragon fruit tea with popping boba, a King's Cake croissant, pistachio croissant, & macadamia nut cookie. Everything is fantastic. We will absolutely be back!

    Wow, just had my first baked goods from Sunshine's bakery! You can order for pickup or delivery, but she's also at many different events and markets! Great service-- very friendly and passionate! The pistachio croissant may just be my favorite, but everything I've had has been excellent. She's always coming up with new items and flavors. Sunshine's Bakery is a new favorite of mine!

    Dubai chocolate croissant with an iced coffee

    Although they did not have the dessert I came to buy, the staff was so kind and assisted in me in finding something else. They're so sweet and helpful to new customers. I do note that there is no indoor tables. The only tables are outside so be prepared to sit in the heat if you come in the summer.

    Boba milk tea
    Elizabeth B.

    All bakery items (breads,croissants, cookies) have tasted great! I just tried the fruit cake and Boba milk tea today and loved them too. Owners are very helpful & the bakery is adorable. Definitely stop in if you are in the Irondale area.

    Highly recommend this bakery for you guys. The owner and her husband are very nice. Cakes and drink are pretty good.

    It's the perfect day for a sweet treat after spending the day with the family!

Unique flavors, classic flavors, the smell of fresh waffle cones inside. Big Spoon does a ton of business, as they should. The location here in Avondale is great, but not super walkable from any really good restaurants. I would love to see them open another spot on 2nd Ave. I had the strawberry tres leches in a waffle cone and it was delicious. I appreciate the care and craft that went into making sure every bit down to the bottom of the cone had ice cream in it. 10/10.

    The Sweet and the Absurd: A Birmingham Creamery's Baffling Economics…read moreTo step into Big Spoon Creamery in Birmingham is to subject oneself to a masterclass in both artisanal delight and bureaucratic absurdity. On my visits--a pilgrimage undertaken reliably every month and a half--the front-line staff have never been anything short of exemplary. They are the cheerful stewards of a deeply baffling system, executing their duties with a warmth that almost distracts you from the institutional quirks around them. I say "institutional" because the management themselves are entirely phantom. They are never seen on the floor. Perhaps this is a calculated evasion; if they were ever present, they would surely have to field a relentless, exasperated inquisition regarding the tragic and ongoing absence of their finest creation: the "Magic City." Why an ice cream parlor would willingly suppress its undisputed masterpiece remains an enduring mystery. Even if the economics of its ingredients demanded a premium surcharge, "Magic City" ought to be enshrined as an immovable staple on the menu. Instead, the menu is a restless, ever-shifting carousel. I concede that a relentless churn of novelty is a virtue to a certain type of customer, but the soul of a great neighborhood institution relies on the comforting reliability of a few anchor flavors. At Big Spoon, just as you develop an affection for a flavor, it vanishes into the ether. Then, we must examine the rewards program, an endeavor so poorly conceived it borders on the avant-garde. The mathematics are punishingly flat: one point per order, regardless of whether the patron spends a single dollar or one hundred. The rational response to such a broken incentive structure is, naturally, to weaponize the system. To extract any genuine value, the savvy customer is forced into a theatrical display of micro-transactions, paying for each scoop separately. It is a loophole that needlessly punishes the very staff who make the establishment shine, forcing them to run the register three or four times for a single family's dessert. Finally, there is the creamery's bizarre pricing taxonomy. A close study of the board reveals an accidental arbitrage opportunity: the customer is objectively better off purchasing two distinct pints of ice cream and two empty waffle cones to assemble on their own time, rather than engaging in the straightforward, intended transaction of ordering ice cream scooped directly into a cone. Whoever is pulling the levers behind the curtain at Big Spoon clearly fancies themselves a clever operator, disrupting the traditional ice cream parlor model with dynamic menus and gamified loyalty. But in their pursuit of perpetual novelty and labyrinthine economics, they have embodied the old proverb perfectly: they are entirely too clever by half.

We were looking for a sweet treat to wrap up the evening and stumbled on this gem. The snickerdoodle cookies were soft, warm, and packed with cinnamon-sugar flavor. Paired with their creamy, rich ice cream--it was an instant win. We said right then and there that we'd be back. This time around, we brought the whole family to celebrate Father's Day, and we had a great time. Our son came in making a big fuss about wanting Teddy Grahams (of all things ), but we had something better planned--and Bendy's delivered. Once he got his ice cream in a waffle cone, he was all smiles and forgot all about the Teddy Grahams. Great ice cream, fresh-baked cookies, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Whether it's date night or family night, Bendy's is officially our go-to dessert spot. We had a great Father's Day, and Bendy's made it even sweeter.

    This unassuming little bakery, located in Crestline Village next to the popular Saw's BBQ in the…read moreMountain Brook community, is one of the Birmingham area's best kept secrets. It has quickly become one my favorites for fresh baked pastries! My choices are any of the cream cheese tarts, the blueberry tart is likely the best I've ever had, the sticky buns, croissants and the cinnamon rolls. These are more along the lines of French-style pastries, so don't expect to be overwhelmed with sweetness, just buttery flaky goodness. They are both visually appealing and simply delicious! They seem to bake in smaller batches so everything is super fresh! The owner/baker is nice and you can often see him working in the back and he might even pop up to say HELLO! There isn't any seating so it's basically an order, pay and go type of place. They also have coffee. Nothing to complain about here. They do have a limited social media presence on Instagram. Check them out!

However, the nice gentleman inside let us in and explained that they had opened earlier and closed earlier. I appreciated him allowing us in. We bought an almond cookie and a blueberry cheese danish. What I wanted had already sold out, so I'll return another day for it. While I throughly enjoyed my danish, my friend didn't care for his cookie. He said he was little dry and as I tasted it, I agreed. However, I've never had an almond cookie so I'm not sure if that's how it was supposed to be. I liked the decor inside. I will return to try another danish but next time I'll come earlier!
