Continental Bakery

Continental Bakery has made the bread for the mini date nut cream cheese sandwiches served with the fruit and deli salad plate where I work. That alone made me want to visit and try a few items. Cute little place with an entrance not too different from something out of Middle Earth with vines kept at bay just enough. Once inside, I started looking at all the delicious looking treats in several cases and was quickly greeted by a young lady standing behind them. She told me the croissants were some of her favorites when I asked, then she pointed out the peach/blueberry muffins. The French Love Cookie caught my attention from its name and once she described it as like a wedding cookie, I definitely had to try one. So, with muffin, croissant and love cookie in a brown paper bag, I returned to work where I polished off all three with a cup of coffee. Everything was tasty, I liked the inside of the croissant more than the outside, which was just a bit dry. The French Love Cookie is much like a Mexican Wedding cookie, with less powdered sugar. This would be a good choice for someone that likes not so sweet desserts. My favorite was the peach/blueberry muffin hands down! It had blueberries all through and thin slices of peach all around. Next time maybe biscotti and some macarons along with a cup of tea.

Very clean and welcoming employees waved at the door. Super cozy atmosphere with candy, bread, cheese and sandwiches, as far as I can see. Everything looked fresh when I came in the afternoon. Very nice bakery perfect for the landscape here at Mountain Brook. It was like a bakery in Europe. In any case again some memories made good. Shortbread Cookies tasted good.

I was like a kid in a candy store here! I’ve never seen a bakery quite like this one. From the decor to the food, everything was unique. I highly recommend the old fashioned cinnamon roll. However, I would pass on the ham and cheese croissant. There’s only a small slice of ham in a big ole croissant. But still a wonderful experience!

I rated only 4 because the service is not great. it is always overcrowded (and no surprise because the baked were amazing) and often difficult to get in and out. the sourdough bread is worth it.

Delicious little shop! The galettes, shortbread cookies, and cinnamon rolls were all very good. Love the take home food options. Will definitely be coming back!
