Huntsville Bakeries Are Our New Favorite Thing

March 1, 2021 By Amy Jones

Bakeries are exploding all over Huntsville! No complaints from us. In fact, we thought we’d put them all together in one list!

Note: We realize there are bakeries that specialize in event cakes, pastry, or donuts. We chose to go for the bakeries that offer a variety of baked goods with a dine-in option, or a unique experience.

If we left anyone out, let us know!

Beloved Local Bakeries

These are bakeries that have been around for a while and still give us a sugar rush!
