The Bakehouse

Absolutely a wonderful road trip stop! Cresta really shares Southern Hospitality! Delicious breakfast sandwiches and warm poppy seed muffins. Yummy coffee! Definitely worth checking out when you are in the area! Thanks Cresta for a great memory on our way to FL!

I found this unique small restaurant by accident looking for another place, and I'm very happy I did cause it is my favorite restaurant in Fort Payne, AL. Why, you might ask? It's not every day you pull up to a store front with large planters outside the shop windows full of flowers with outside patio seating. I liked the American flag flying outside, too. It reminded me of a cafe in Europe. As I walked in the front door, I immediately noticed modern bright white walls, old molding, and exposed orginal brick block wall bottom half. The jaged drywall with old school bricks was a nice touch to old life to new beginnings for this shop. I also liked the unique lighting with orange light shades that made it pop with the white and tan colors. I loved this place not just for the decor but the food. I had the lemon bundt cake before my meal and liked the sweet but tart taste. The cake was moist, but just the right taste bite by bite. The main course was a breakfast bowl with black beans, potatoes, fresh spinach, sliced avocado, spices, and two eggs over easy. The eggs over easy warm goodness ran down through the different layers was yummy. The spices were perfect with a little bit of heat. Loved it! I also saw they sell great coffee and teas. The beans are from a town in Idaho, and I love to visit. I did talk with the owner, who told me the inspiration for the shop and menu is from different places visited around the world. I knew there was a European vibe from my travels. I haven't made it to Spain yet but one day. The best part of the food is that everything is fresh, not processed, and is very high quality and healthy. The prices were very reasonable, and there were lots of gluten-free options for people like me with an allergy. I didn't get the owners name, but tell her I sent you. This is a must stop if you are here for June Jam , just passing through or live here. It's not every day you find clean, healthy, and gluten-free high-quality meals Don't take my word for it. Go see for yourself!

Service is great. There's always a delicious selection of fresh pastries as well as a great seasonal lunch menu. Highly recommend the responsibly sourced teas and coffee. Ideal quiet spot to grab a bite while exploring downtown. Pics of the menu may be available online, but since it is seasonally changing, visit their social media platforms for the most recent version.

Strawberry spinach salad with poppyseed dressing is my favorite this week. The flavors are impeccable. I was hesitant because of the feta cheese but I am now a new fan. The owner and staff are always very welcoming and friendly.

My husband and I were on our way to Desoto State Park to do some hiking and decided we would checkout a coffee shop. I am so glad we did! The ladies as were really nice! The shop is super cute and the coffee was delicious! I had the toasted marshmallow and my husband had the brown sugar. You will not be disappointed!

This place is a gem! We were on a road trip and stopped in for breakfast and coffee. The menu is small, but it just means they focus on quality. My boyfriend got the Bakehouse Burrito, and I got the Bakehouse Bowl... both fresh ingredients and delicious! The decor is fresh, bright and beautiful! If I lived here, this would be a regular spot for me!

Their blueberry muffin was delicious, just like everyone said it was. For me. The crumb was absolutely perfect. I had there grilled cheese sandwich with onion jam. It was so good.
