Continental Bakery

"My only complaint is the lemon bar wasn’t big enough! The carrot cake was amazing. I don’t eat vegan but the snickerdoodle is good. A for sure go again"

"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 me at the door. Super comfortable atmosphere with sweets, breads, cheeses and sandwiches as far as I can see. Everything looked fresh even though I came in the afternoon. Very nice bakery perfect for the scenery here at Mountain Brook. It was like a bakery shop in Europe. Definitely brought back some memories well done. Shortbread Cookies tasted good."
