The Bakehouse

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!

This is a gem of a place, wish we would have discovered it on our first day of vaca versus our last. I had the avocado toast and my hubby had the Bakehouse bowl, delicious, fresh, coffee delicious and smooth. Visit downtown Fort Payne and stop here for breakfast or lunch, you will be pleased! bb

Delightful gem in downtown Fort Payne. We enjoyed a delicious sandwich with coffee and dessert today. We’ll definitely be back.

Super cute place with good coffee and a great menu! Grilled cheese with onion jam was delicious. Everything seemed house made and fresh.

This is our favorite place to eat downtown! We love the food and the staff! ❤

Nice to see a breakfast place open. Hope they can stay here. Good food. Great coffee and baked goods.

Fresh berry & choco stones and pumpkin cinnamon roll. French pressed decaf coffee was rich in taste. Best coffee ever!

First time was really cool. The interior is absolutely adorable and the food and coffee was super good. I had a to go order when I came in and she got it fast. When I sat down, there was a couple that had ordered in front of me and they got a water to share. The woman gave them two very cute glasses and pulled out this glass bottle out of the cooler and maybe it’s just me, but that glass bottle made the water look like spring water. This place is unique for Fort Payne, Alabama

What a gem to discover when passing through from Tennessee back to Georgia. Delicious food and coffee

Super helpful!!! I called asking if they make cakes. They don't, but over the phone they gave me detailed directions on how to make a delicious coconut cake, and even told me what isles to find the ingredients on at the local Walmart! They went out of their way to be super helpful and friendly, and I'll never forget it. They saved my daughters birthday! Thank you all!!

We love the bake house! The pastry’s are amazing but if you like avacado toast it it a must try!! Me and my mom tried it for the first time and we will be back. The service is great everyone was so friendly and it’s the cutest little shop if you like coffee fry the French press!

My wife and I have been coming to The Bakehouse for the last couple of weeks to work and study. We've loved their French press using Doma coffee (we love good coffee) and each pastry or dish that we've ordered has been great. If you are looking for a good, small bakery and coffee/tea shop in the Fort Payne, AL, you need to check out The Bakehouse!

Great folks, great food! Had the Hibiscus tea and a gluten free blueberry muffing. Top notch!

Food, coffee and atmosphere are all great!

The coffee was good. The Blueberry scone was . . . . PERFECT! The decor was bright and cheerful.

This was such a cute shop. Their cold brew is the best I’ve ever had. Definitely worth a visit when you stop in Fort Payne!
