The Bakingtist

We came last Sunday and absolutely loved everything about our experience--from the delicious coffee to the pastries, everything was perfection. Top notch service as well.

Drove up from bham to visit. Amazing experience! Highly recommend. Staff was so nice and accommodating. My 3 kids loved it! The food is top not notch, I recommend everything but our personal favorites were the cookies and the Oreo bombs!

Love this place! The employees are so nice, and as a person who is really at my limit for tipflation, I love that it’s advertised that they make a living wage- as they should!
Highly recommend a weekday visit since they can sell out of a lot on weekends. The cinna-bomb is my go to! But it sells quick.
Also, I hesitated to go for a bit since I thought the parking situation would stress me out. But it was actually really easy to do street parking right around the corner. 10/10- just go!

The Bakingtist is HANDS DOWN the best bakery in Huntsville (north Alabama??). My first visit we tried a bunch of different things. The cookies are where it’s at, y’all! Crumble, who? But really. Better than insomnia. Better than crumble. Better than my own, delicious homemade cookies. They’re huge, flavorful, and have the perfect texture. Everything is fresh. The baked goods are sweet in the best way, but the flavors come through so well. Sugar doesn’t overpower the flavor! Such a big win. The customer service is impeccable. I had my son with me and he loved watching the bakers through the window in the shop. Everyone was so kind to him! The owner is so friendly and approachable. Let’s consume all the scrumptious carbs to keep this amazing business around!

Absolutely love the idea behind this cafe! Super cute on the inside and lots of room for adding more decor ! The pastries were absolutely incredible and my barista Jena was an absolute sweetheart! Super kind and bubbly and made the ordering experience fun :)! Will come back again often.

Loved it. The baked goods are outstanding! They definitely satisfy! Can't wait till they offer breads. Staff is great. They peer above other downtown bakeries. Highly recommended!

Literally everything I have tried from this bakery has been top-notch. Croissants were flakey AF, as was the crust to a delicious apple hand pie.
“Is there crack in here?” was my first thought when I tried the monkey bread.
The blueberry “cruffin” was loaded with fruit yet somehow not soggy?!
Idk what kind of scientific alchemy the Bakingtist is doing in the dead of night to to achieve these results, but the results are incredible.

We have been here a couple times and it has always been fantastic. The cookies are amazing, they are almost like a small cookie pie. The outside is a bit crunchy (but not burnt) and the interior is soft and gooey (especially if reheated briefly). Everytime I go back im excited to try something new!

The customer service is top-notch! I love how dedicated the employees are to making a good experience for everyone involved. Even when it’s on slower days, they always greet people with a smile. They’re so knowledgeable too!
However, the owner seems to have a serious morale problem. She’s constantly belittling her staff and micromanaging to the point where everyone is miserable. The inconsistencies are stressful. I can see the staff is doing their best with what they have but the owner needs a serious reality check… You can’t keep a business when you’re berating your team in front of the guests.
I don’t think this is the local business everyone should support.

I stopped in last week for the first time. The Ham & Gruyère Croissant was divine. I also enjoyed the blueberry muffin. Can’t wait to go back!!
