Edgar's Bakery — Restaurant in Huntsville

This is the second Huntsville-area Edgar's location. It opened probably less than a year ago after being under construction for what felt like forever. Edgar's does sort of cafe style breakfast and lunch -- lots of sandwiches, salads, and smaller plates -- as well as their abundance of baked goods.

This location is fairly spacious and there are also cute little stocking stuffers and knickknacks for sale mixed in with the pastries and tins.

We ordered for pickup as they don't currently do curbside. Unfortunately, it seemed to me that pickup orders have to stand in line with everyone else to get their food. There's no special pickup line or station or anything, even though your payment is processed online and all that's left to do is actually get your food. Panera is a pretty similar restaurant concept that I feel does online ordering/carry out much better.

The waiting in line wouldn't be a huge problem if the place wasn't absolutely packed, but it was -- so I stood in line for about 15 minutes while my food got kind of cold. The line moved pretty slowly and the cashiers seemed overwhelmed and tired. At least I was able to grab an extra pastry that caught my eye for dessert.

We wound up eating our food in the car because I was desperate to get at it before it got completely cold and soggy. I had a chicken bacon ranch grilled sandwich and boyfriend got a hot ham and cheese. Both come with chips and your choice of a second side and we both got the Mac and cheese. He liked his sandwich better than I liked mine. The bread was okay and toasted nicely, but they were not generous with the chicken, bacon, or ranch -- just a tiny, super thinly pounded chicken cutlet with maybe two small strips of bacon and a tiny dollop of ranch. Chips are standard Vicki's salted kettle chips. Neither of us were taken with the Mac and cheese. A little too soft, oddly too creamy for our tastes, and under seasoned.

I nabbed an orange roll for dessert. The layers were nice and gooey and buttery, although the orange icing hinged more on the medicinal side. It was okay. Probably would have liked the similar cinnamon or pecan rolls more, but I was hoping I'd like the icing more than I did.

I've had Edgar's strawberry and chocolate cakes before at family birthdays, and they're decent as well. I don't think I'd seek them out for myself, but I'm not displeased to see them if someone else is offering, ya know?

No pictures because I was in too much of a hurry, haha. Overall, better baked goods than lunch fare, though the baked goods aren't crazy exceptional either. Worth a shot for their convenience and wide...

Edgar's Bakery is neat, clean and has a pleasant ambiance. The staff is friendly and helpful.

There is a wide variety of baked good, as one would expect. There is also an assortment of other food stuffs including jam, olive oil, etc. for sale.

When going through the line to order food, passing the baked goods creates a temptation to leave with a few muffins, loaves of bread or cake. It always looks fresh.

I usually am here for breakfast. The eggs are cooked perfectly and there is a variety of bread for toast. Coffee is very strong and for most people will require several dollops of cream. No doubt, it is gourmet coffee but it is too strong for my taste.

Today, I ordered the French toast. It was cooked perfectly and comes with sausage or bacon. The sausage patty was very large. There were three pieces of the bread which is very thick. It also comes with vanilla cream, butter and covered with powdered sugar. I left off the vanilla cream and would have also asked to leave off the powdered sugar had I known that was part of the serving.

It tasted good. Sugar free maple syrup is not an option (this is not a place for those watching calories or sugar intake). I ate about half of the serving of the French toast. It was very good but too much food for most people. There is a child's portion of the French toast which is probably enough for most people (it is also $3.00 cheaper).

My dining companion's egg sandwich on a biscuit came with cheese and bacon. It was also very good.

There is also an assortment of baked goods available including muffins and various rolls that look tempting and covered with a frosting that adds to the color, appearance (and calories).

Breakfast for two, including one small coffee, was about $22.00...

My husband and I just got stationed here from North Carolina and our new neighbors brought us their signature cinnamon rolls. Absolutely delicious!! We couldn’t wait to go back and get more, and stay for brunch. However, were a little disappointed overall. The staff was friendly and the lady that brought us our food was so sweet. Once we started eating, my husband got the All-American Breakfast and said his eggs had little flavor to them, but that his bacon and fruit was good. For the price, that shouldn’t be all that’s good though. I got the breakfast quesadilla and wanted to substitute avocado for the meats I don’t generally eat that were offered (ham, sausage, bacon, or turkey), and I was told it’d be an up charge. So I asked if I could do chicken instead and was also told it was an up charge. Just a little frustrating in that aspect. The presentation of both dishes was fine, but once I got into my second quesadilla, I found a hair in my food, so I didn’t eat much after that, but the flavors of my quesadilla were great in the one I had! The environment overall is nice and open, but seating feels cramped. Between our table and the one next to us, we were both getting bumped and getting apologized to because of the tight spaces. I do love the themes they have going throughout the bakery! We will definitely be back, but for the bakery items only next time. Everything in the windows looks amazing and if they’re anything like the cinnamon rolls, I’m sure it’s...
