Addicting! Park place bars, lemon bars, and sticky buns!
Great Baked goods. I have gotten several things here and they were all delicious. Great prices too.
Good overall. I have enjoyed this little "hole in the wall" bakery for years....especially their "from scratch" natural baked goods and baking supplies. Cakes are detailed and designer and breads are made from fresh ground whole grains....not much vegan or gluten free to choose from unless special ordered. Worth a stop by....they tend to be very swamped with orders on the weekend special order cakes, so order early enough ahead of time!!! They are the only fresh fullscale bakery on Westside that I know of currently.
The bakery isn't super cheap, but everything I had was a good quality and we loved our snacks. The bread has been making grilled cheeses & PBJs for the past few days, and is starting to get stale. With the remainder I plan on making panzanella salad (that's bread salad) with some strawberry shrub.
Smells incredible as soon as you walk in. They have a nice selection of all kinds of different unique items. My favorite during the holidays is the Eggnog sugar cookie, which has this amazing eggnog frosting in it. Their snicker doodle cookie is also so good. The prices are not bad at all. I would highly recommend this place for someone looking for a nice little baked good to make their day even better :)
I love this place, and in the way of bakeries you get what you pay for. They make amazing cakes and no they are not super cheap but they go out of their way to make the best looking cakes that always blow away my expectations! I wish they had donuts and canolis. Two of my favorites that i cant seem to get around here unless at Walmart. If you pay for your cakes 24 hours in advance you will get an amazing cake I promise! Time love and care into every bread loaf and sugar cookie!
Best cake I have ever gotten. I had a unique cake request and they more than delivered and for an amazing price. Thank you Ms. Sara, my son loved his football, caramel, cookies-n-cream cake!!!
as far as previous negative comments, I can say from experience in the food industry that people get accustomed to sub par baked goods that have lost flavor and taste because of being prefrozen and so if you don't love a fresh baked, high quality cake don't bother ordering from BOL....go to Walmart. And if you don't know what a "deposit" is then you shouldn't be calling in an order.
onto the good stuf!!! I love mostly everything I have ever bought there as I have been a regular customer since they opened nearly twenty years ago. I am especially keen on the freshly made all natural baked goods and low sugar products. When it comes to birthdays judge for yourself! Just look through the pic portfolio and you will see right off the bat they are not your normal run of the mill cake, but "cake boss" level and yes, you will pay more. If you want cheap crap go to any grocery store.
I moved out of the area into the middle of nowhere lousiana and finally found a comparative private bakery and got a SIX INCH cake with doc mcstuffins on it and it cost me $50 to get the same quality that BOL sells for 1/3 to 1/2 less. So if you are a bakery connoisseur you know what I am talking about and to be fair you have to compare them to other privately owned gourmet bakeries, not grocery store.
I still cheat in my low sugar diet for their birthday cakes, pastries and cookie bars, AND BISCOTTI's OMG!?! .....but they have a plethora of low sugar, whole grain, low gluten products to choose from as well. I'm so glad to be back in the panhandle and don't mind the 40 minute drive to Pensacola and almost buy something from them weekly b/c I detest grocery store dry overbaked, canned icing cakes. Oh the btw....you gotta try their KING CAKES!!! They rival any in Louisiana including ATWOODS! ;)
If you like fresh baked bread this is the place to visit. The only reason that I did not give 5 stars is that I have only tasted the breads, all the breads. I have abandoned all the other bakeries that sell on Saturdays at the Farmers Market, Pensacola. That’s how I got started.
The wedding cake that Bread of Life made for my daughter's wedding was out of this world! The staff was very professional and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. I would highly recommend them!
We order their cakes all the time! Amazing. I think people only come to my parties for the cake. 😊 The bread is wonderful and my mom loves the brownies.
Best place for your sweet tooth. They have all kinds of treats and I'm a sucker for the cheese cake! I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my fix of sweetened goodness.
This is such a great bakery to get fresh bread and pastries from! The food is delicious and the employees are always so friendly. Definitely a hidden gem of Pensacola.
She makes beautiful cakes. Had my wedding cake done here and grand daughter birthday cake done here. And i am coming back for my other grand baby birthday cake.
